Address: 1025 Ellingson Lane Owner: Amias Maldonado & Lena Banks Case # 2020-178348 PR The existing home was built in 1957 and is a compact 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom residence. The owners currently live in the home and intend on living here during the construction of their new home at the same address. This existing home would transition from being the primary dwelling to being a secondary apartment behind the new primary dwelling. The city limits secondary apartments to 15% of the lot size, or 1100 SF, whichever is smaller. In this case, the lot size limits a secondary apartment to 966 SF. The measured size of the structure is 1022 SF. In order to comply without a variance, we would need to remove 56 SF. While it is arguable that there are an infinite number of ways 56 SF could be removed from this structure, there are a few methods that would render the home …

We want to find out status of GIS mapping efforts showing history of BOA cases (location, type, etc.). 4. We want to build new bridges with City Staff and repair relationships from past situations. In addition, we want to be able to increase staff accountability without it appearing as a personal attack. 5. We want to know what the Department Supervisors need / want from BOA to better support each other and our joint processes. 6. We want to temper our deliberations to be focused on the facts of the cases before us and be less inflammatory or confrontational towards applicants and staff. 7. We want to hold ourselves accountable and our BOA colleagues in a civil and respectful manner. 8. We want to create processes for transitions in BOA leadership and for additions of new members to our Board. 9. We want to include training on the role the legislature plays in the BOA. Specifically how we are governed by both City and State mandates and what that means in how we operate. F-5/1
MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Jerry Rusthoven, Assistant Director/Interim Lead Planning and Zoning Department DATE: May 22, 2020 SUBJECT: UNO Sign Regulations The Planning and Zoning Department is requesting the Commission initiate an amendment to the UNO ordinance to correct an inadvertent change made to the sign regulations in the ordinance. In November 2019 the City Council approved changes to the UNO ordinance. One of those changes was intended to address signs above the second story of a building. Those signs were required to be cut in or engraved into the structure of the building. If the name of a building were placed on the facade this made it physically difficult to change the name in the future. It was agreed by the stakeholders to remove this requirement. In making this change to the ordinance a mistake was made and the result is all illuminated signs were prohibited in the UNO area. This is not what was intended or agreed to by the stakeholders. Also, because the UNO sign regulations are also used in TODs and the North Burnet/Gateway Plan this mistake carries over to other areas. Staff is asking for the opportunity to correct the ordinance. We will be working with the same stakeholders involved in the November revisions. If you need additional information, please contact me by email or 512-974-3207.

C15-2021-0033 221 Lessin Ln: I oppose the application for variance at 221 Lessin Ln, a condominium development across the street from my SF-3 property. Why have setback standards in place if they can be easily waived? I have been concerned about the Lessin Ln development during the application to Planning Commission & City Council for re-zoning from SF-3 to SF-6, and then the subsequent application to the Planning Commission to waive setbacks for water retention ponds. These events have happened virtually this past year with cumbersome mechanisms for citizens to participate. I am concerned about this current application to Board of Adjustments to waive setbacks from the city frontage streets, Krebs Ln and Lessin Ln. The applicant's argument for re-zoning and waivers consistently has been that they could be building much worse. I feel that the development would still thrive …

Howard, j April 17, 2021 VIA EMAIL elaine.ramirez@autintexas.gov City of Austin Board of Adjustment Austin City Hall 301 W. 2nd Street Austin, Texas 78701 Board Members: Re: Letter of Support for Variance Application 5314 Avenue G, Austin, Texas 78751 BOA Case N. C15-2021-0041 I am writing on behalf of the North Loop Neighborhood Plan Contract Team (the “Planning Team”) in support of Mary Schuwerk’s and Nick Paglia’s Variance Application for 5314 Avenue G, Austin, Texas 78751 (the “Application”). As outlined in the Application, Ms. Schuwerk and Mr. Paglia are remodeling a portion of their home to, among other things, bring the home in line with safety and accessibility standards. To meet these standards, the finished floor elevation will need to be increased by 19” from the current finished floor elevation, 7” more than the 12” allowance in §25-2-963. Additionally, 5314 Avenue G is a unique and undersized lot, and the remodel will therefore result in impervious cover of approximately 47.7%, 2.7% more than the 45% permitted for SF-3-NP zoning under §25-2-492 but a 1% decrease from current impervious cover, along with continued encroachment of a setback on the back side of the lot. Ms. Schuwerk and Mr. Paglia have done an incredible job reaching out to and interfacing with the neighborhood regarding this project and have garnered the support of their neighbors along with the support of the North Loop Neighborhood Association and the Planning Team. Ms. Schuwerk and her architect presented to the Planning Team on April 12, 2021, and the Planning Team unanimously voted to support her Application in front of the Board of Adjustment. We strongly believe that current zoning regulations do not allow for reasonable use of the property by Ms. Schuwerk and Mr. Paglia and that the obvious hardship affecting 5314 Avenue G is unique to the property due to its configuration and unusually small lot size. The project will also have no effect on area character, and our understanding is that Ms. Schuwerk’s and Mr. Paglia’s immediate neighbors support the project fully. D-7/1-LATE BACKUP The Planning Team believes that the requested variance is entirely appropriate for this project and that the Application should be granted. We sincerely hope that the Board of Adjustment will approve the variance as requested. We appreciate your time and attention to this letter of support. Sincerely, THE …
From: To: Subject: Date: Attachments: Past Chair Ramirez, Elaine D-8 C15-2021-0048 8300 N IH35 The Hedge Monday, May 10, 2021 8:21:55 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi Elaine - Could you pass this on? Thanks! ============= Chair, Vice Chair, Boardmembers - I apologize for the late communication. The neighborhood team did not receive notification of the hearing, nor did the owner or their agent reach out to us. As the stream of requests for changes and exceptions continues for this redevelopment, I am increasingly concerned that this is not a robust project for this applicant. While the concept of affordable housing sounds wonderful, if it's not realistic to build, much less operate, you're setting up the community and the owner, and most important vulnerable low-income residents, for decades of failure and frustration. Affordability The applicant's presentation characterizes the development as "deeply affordable". This description is more typically used for households at 25-35% of MFI, not the 60% proposed here. History of Deficiencies At the Sept 2019 BOA hearing, your backup included a list of recent code violations at the property, including significant structural issues. You were promised "if we get the variance, we will of course bring the building up to code". In fact, after the variance was granted, there were 29 more notices of violation in 2020 under the current owner, generally related to electrical work without permits. That is not a subtle or hidden violation: Are you an electrician? Is there a permit? Additionally, the development services applications submitted for this property and the off-site parking property charitably could be characterized as error-ridden. Repeatedly, different applications stated different project characteristics for the same site, always somehow with the errors most economically favourable to the applicant. There were also several rounds of applications double-counting the off-site parking, despite reviewers calling attention to the issue. Parking At the Sept 2019 BOA hearing to decrease the site area requirements, the Drenner staff person assured you that they "commit to meet parking requirements". Instead, they are back with the basically the same argument - the project they have invested in won't be profitable for them unless you change the rules - to ask for you to change the parking requirement. Their original D-8/1-LATE BACKUP application seemed to suggest that anyone so strapped that they would live at this property probably wouldn't have a car anyways (and I guess don't …
