Board of Adjustment Training & Staff Support Workgroup 2020-07-02 (Leighton-Burwell, Hawthorne, Von Ohlen & Bailey) -- UPDATED Results /Action Items Proposed by the Workgroup (for discussion and possible action by the whole Board at upcoming BOA Meeting): 1. We want to start BOA trainings ASAP (thanks to our Liaison, this is already underway). 2. We want to have knowledgeable staff available at our hearings to answer questions regarding issues outside of BOA Liaison’s expertise (residential zoning), such was Lake Austin, Signage, Waterfront Overlay, etc. 3. 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-4/1

The subject property is located on Glenview Avenue in Brykerwoods. This street is unusual, in that homes on the east side of the street have curb cuts and driveway access from the front of the homes, while all homes on the west side of the street do not. Homes have historically treated Jefferson Avenue as an alley and all off-street parking for these …
A side-by-side comparison of the previous and current survey shows that a non-complaint garage structure was removed in order to make room for two off-street parking spaces as required by city code.

(West Oak Hill Neighborhood Plan) Note: The Land Development Code 25-2-899 (D) Except as otherwise provided in this section, a solid fence constructed along a property line may not exceed an average height of six feet or a maximum height of seven feet. (E) states: a solid fence along a property line may be constructed to a maximum height of eight feet if each owner of property that adjoins a section of the fence that exceeds a height of six feet files written consent to the construction of the fence with the building official; and (2) a structure, including a telephone junction box, exists that is reasonably likely to enable a child to climb over a six foot fence and gain access to a hazardous situation, including a swimming pool. (F) A solid fence may be constructed to a maximum of eight feet in height if the fence is located on or within the building setback lines. BOARD’S DECISION June 14, 2021 POSTPONED TO JULY 12, 2021 FINDING: E-2/1 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: 2.

Box 2125 Austin, Texas 78768 Dear Mr. Tagtmeier: We represent Chalice McGee and write in response to your March 25, 2021 correspondence. It seems that you have not been fully informed by your clients about the underlying circumstances about which you wrote. First, our client did obtain prior written approval of the Architectural Committee before constructing the fence in question, so there is no violation of the restrictions to discuss. There are no tents, shacks or other temporary structures present. Your claims that the fence encroaches on your client’s property, or that the existing fence was damaged during the course of construction of the new fence, are also unfounded. We suggest you investigate those claims further before launching a groundless lawsuit. If you choose to litigate, it is your clients who will face exposure for paying our client’s fees. Mr. Tagtmeier, we don’t know each other but I have had positive experiences in the past with other attorneys at your firm. Our client has no interest in antagonizing yours, but they have a long history of harassing and threatening her and many others in the neighborhood. The most egregious example which has been documented is described in the attached police report. Part of her motivation for building this fence was to avoid any further such confrontations, and so far it has seemed to achieve that goal. She just wants to be left alone, and to avoid any further tension or escalation with her neighbors. Please see what you can do to de-escalate this situation. We look forward to hearing from you.

1409 Possum Trot BOA Request C15-2020-0038 D-1/1-PRESENTATION Our Variance Request • A variance from LDC 25-2-492; the rear setback in an SF-3 zoning district is 10 feet. We are requesting a rear setback of 5 feet. • The existing 1942 duplex has a 5-foot setback. It will continue to have the same 5- foot setback if the variance is approved. D-1/2-PRESENTATION Duplex at 1409 Possum Trot Requested 5-foot rear setback D-1/3-PRESENTATION Proposed Subdivision Plat D-1/4-PRESENTATION Property History • The existing structures were built in 1942 as a single-family residence and a duplex. • The property was annexed into Austin’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction and zoning regulations on March 14, 1946. • Because the property is within the City’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction with three existing units, it is classified as a legal non-complying use. D-1/5-PRESENTATION Property History (cont.) • On September 27, 2002, the City of Austin issued a Legal Tract Determination, which exempted this property from the platting requirements. • In 2019, the new owner purchased the property, and he wishes to subdivide the property into two lots, in order to bring it into compliance with the zoning regulations. D-1/6-PRESENTATION We are asking for BOA support for the following reasons: • The structures have existed since 1942, so variance approval will not impact the neighborhood. • This is a minimal departure. If this property were part of a neighborhood residential infill, the rear setback for a duplex would only be 5 feet, under 25-2-1535. However we do not qualify because residential infill requires a residential site area of one acre, and this site is smaller. D-1/7-PRESENTATION
5607 Highland Crest Drive C15-2021-0074 Hearing Date July 12, 2021 The applicant is requesting variance(s) from the Land Development Code, Section 25-2-773 (Duplex Residential Use) (B) (5) (b) from two stories (maximum allowed) to three stories (requested) in order to erect a Duplex Residential use in an “SF-3”, Single-Family Residence zoning district. 1. Section 25-2-773 specifically restricts duplexes to 30 feet; OR two stories. The interpretation is not applied to each unit of the two unit duplex, but rather it is applied to the total structure height. This variance is requesting a total structure height of three stories and none of the units will be more than two stories on their own. The building tent will be fully respected. 2. The hardship for this site is the cross slope which naturally splits the foundation into two elevations roughly 12’ apart, vertically. With the first floor of each unit starting 12’ apart a natural side by side duplex will become three stories. 2. The previous duplex structure was approximately the same scale, but that structure burned down in 2019. We would like to rebuild in the same approximate scale and space as the previous structure. 3. Given the need for housing units in Austin TX, the best use for this site is to build two units again, as it was before the fire. 4. The neighbor to the west is also a duplex and zoned SF-3. The two story portion of our structure will be directly adjacent to our residential neighbor. The three story portion will be adjacent to our office building neighbor zoned both GR and CS.

Carson story of 1209 Choquette My name is Jennifer Carson, co-owner of 1209 Choquette with Robert (Bob) Carson, my husband. Bob moved in as renter in 1992 then purchased the home in 1993. In 1995 we married and began our life together at 1209 Choquette. After the birth of our first child in 1997 and the death of our last parent we decided in 1998 to stay put in our Brentwood home because of the community we had established. To make space more practical it was suggested by our architect that adding a second story was the best option. At the time deed restrictions did not allow a second story without the “approval of neighbors”. We took our blueprints to each surrounding neighbor to get their opinion on our two-story addition. At that time, the majority of our neighbors were original owners and were very supportive of our addition. There were no two-story additions on our block and very few in the entire neighborhood. That is hard to believe now. We made significant effort to have it fit the original character of Brentwood. When we started in 1999, we had a toddler and were expecting our second child. With the need to complete construction quickly and limited funds we did not seek to add on to our original carport at that time. Our driveway follows our sloped lot toward the house so rain from the roof pooled significantly in the original carport. Progressively, the carport flooding increased. In 2003 we extended the carport to its current form to help remedy that. The pitch on the extension allows rain to better drain to either side of the driveway and carport into grass yard rather than flowing directly into the carport. Over the years we have continued to keep our home well-maintained and we remain fully vested in the neighborhood. Both of our boys attended Lamar and McCallum neighborhood schools. We have since completely remodeled the kitchen (2015/2016) upgrading plumbing and electrical. It was noted on our documents then that the carport was over the setback, but all permits were approved and inspections passed. Last month inspection was completed for entire home window replacement with double pane energy efficient windows. Currently we want to add a permittable front porch opposite the carport open on all 3 sides with a similar façade. In the planning process we learned that we needed a variance. …

This Affidavit is made as part of an initial submission to the City of Austin related to a request for Variance related to a build-out of the existing attic space to create habitable living space for the home at 1411 Gaston Avenue, Austin, Texas 78703. We have retained CGS to prepare architectural design drawings and construction specifications for our build-out. In the proposed buildout, we have requested: 1. No expansion to the current exterior building envelope save the addition of 2 dormers in the back of the house for egress from the second floor to comply with fire code requirements. 2. There are three neighbors behind our home that would be potentially affected visually by these dormers. The home directly behind ours is owned by Jan and Bobby Jenkins [1404 Ethridge]. I have shown them the exterior proposal and they had no concerns related to the addition of the two dormers. The homes on west side of the Jenkins’ residence is currently under construction and has no view of the proposed dormers and the other home is soon to be on the market and likewise has no view of the proposed dormers. 3. The directly adjacent next door neighbors, 1407 and 1413 Gaston would not have a visual line of sight to the dormers and both had no concerns with the addition of dormers on the roof our home. 4. The proposed renovation would not affect the front façade of the home. No neighbors with views of the façade from their home expressed concern. 5.

904 Avondale Rd. Application for Variance ‐ Screened porch encroaching into front yard setback & Variance for nonconforming use (substandard lot size). Owners: Frank and Jeannine Clark. *Frank is a restoration carpenter with 25 years of experience. *Jeannine is an interior designer. *This is our retirement home. D-7/1-PRESENTATION LOCATION: 904 Avondale. Travis Heights Neighborhood. Between Travis Heights Blvd & Alta Vista Avenue. South of Riverside Drive. D-7/2-PRESENTATION This corner of the porch intersects the required front yard setback from 25’ to 17 PROPOSED EXISTING Existing porch footprint to remain. New Porch with roof extension and screens, open on two sides. New porch will not extend past the current street‐side face of the home. Coverage area: approx. 8’ x 16’. D-7/3-PRESENTATION Current condition: Existing 1949 vintage ‘small home’ Cottage– 594 square feet, 1 bedroom. Goal: • Restoration of the existing home to conform to the character of the neighborhood without adding interior square footage. • Add screened front porch as part of the renovations. (at existing non‐enclosed front porch). Conflicts which require variance: • A triangle portion of the proposed screened porch encroaches the required 25’ front yard setback per LD Code 25‐2‐ 513G. Request to reduce setback in this area to align with front of existing home, approx. 17’ from property line. LD Code 25‐2‐947. Lot size is 5292 s.f. , which is a non conforming size lot. • D-7/4-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP SUMMARY There is, quite literally, no other location we can add this screened porch, and the porch is vital to the enjoyment of our tiny home. The shape of the lot: The pie-shape creates a very small area for any construction due to the lot depth and angles of the setbacks. The angle of the front setback cuts through a portion of the porch and house since the lot is so shallow on the short end; therefore the buildable area is severely restricted. The size of the lot: The lot is considered substandard by the current city code since it does not meet the minimum lot depth or size. The lot is measured at 5,292 SF.

July 12, 2021 BOA. mtg. Austin Energy estimates it will take up to 23 weeks (5.75 months) to move the overhead line. Therefore, I think this BOA hearing will need to be postponed until the first BOA hearing date of 2022. I will pay the $302.64 renotification fee, but I am paying it under protest, because this is Austin Energy’s delay, not ours or the property owner’s. It doesn’t seem fair that the property owner needs to pay because Austin Energy has such ridiculously long timeframes to move a simple wire. Please tell the Board that Austin Energy’s schedule requires us to postpone this case until the January 2022 hearing date.

This modest request for variance is totally sensible -- the proposed plan will help enable the owner to restore a historically and architecturally noteworthy (nearly century old) house at 813 Park Blvd. This will enhance our wonderful neighborhood. I lived in this neighborhood in the 1940s, and in the year 2000 I realized an old dream when I was able to purchase the house at 722 Park Blvd. and move back into this neighborhood. Every day I walk or bike past 813 Park Blvd, and I've been distressed that the house has been empty and deteriorating for more than a decade. >> Please support the requested variance to help improve our neighborhood.

Austin Energy opposes approving this request until further detail regarding clearances can be provided. While the request is similar to others approved in the area, for complete assurance, Austin Energy requests that the owner/applicant provide elevations of the proposed new structure, showing the building is able to meet the minimum horizontal clearance of 7 feet 5 inches from the outmost conductor, as required by Austin Energy’s Design Criteria Section 1.10.0 (clearance & safety requirements).

By the way, the Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association did not receive notification of this variance hearing from the City, rather we received it second hand from another neighborhood association. Thank you, Joyce Basciano Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association Dear Chair Cohen and Members of the Board of Adjustment, Re: C15‐2021‐0056 3006 Glenview Avenue Agenda Item D‐2 The Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association (BWNA) Board of Directors considered this variance request. In the case of through lots we are guided by the precedent set by the Board of Adjustment on Monday, September 8, 2014 in Case Number C15‐2014‐0115 (see attachment). That case involved another through lot on Glenview Avenue that backed up to Jefferson St. (3200 Glenview, cited in the backup for 3006 Glenview). The 2014 BOA Decision granted a variance decreasing the 25 ft setback to 10 ft from the property line, not 5 ft. A 10 ft rear lot setback is still reasonable for through lots on Glenview Avenue and is in keeping with the historic character of Jefferson St. Accordingly, we support a decrease of the 25 ft setback to 10 ft but oppose a decrease of the setback to 5 ft.

The existing structure on the property exceeds the FAR for SF-3 due to a previous variance and appears to greatly exceed the mandated impervious cover requirements. Increasing the FAR and impervious cover further will aggravate drainage problems in the neighborhood and will set a bad precedent for the neigborhood.

Re: Case# C15-2021-0036 6141 Jumano Ln To: The Board of Adjustments, City of Austin, My name is Ted Harbourt. My wife Anita Harbourt and I live at 7101 Quimper ln. We have lived at this address for 23 yrs. We had our house built and raised our family here. Our house faces Quimper and is on the corner of Quimper and Jumano. Our back fence is adjacent to the side yard of 6141 Jumano ln. On Nov 6th 2020, the resident at 6141 Jumano had a new fence addition added along our back fence line. We would like to express our opposition to the addition of this fence for the following reasons. The new fence extension at 8ft is taller than our existing fence and creates an offensive look from our back yard with two fences back to back of different height. The new extension is not fluid and continuous, there is a 4ft break in the fence that is filled with a cloth tarp to cover the gap. This is not in compliance with the HOA and has not been approved. She has only lived in the neighborhood for 1 ½ yrs and our existing backyard fence has been sufficient for 21 ½ yrs before she lived here. The elevation of our properties was very clear when she purchased her property. She was fully aware of the fence lines when she bought her property. We were not listed as one of the residences within line of sight and did not give our consent to have this built along our established fence line. Had we been consulted, we may have been able to come to an agreement to improve the height of the existing fence and avoid the physical issues and aesthetic concerns. The addition of a second fence along our back property line has created a space between the two fences that is now filling with debris and is inaccessible to maintain. And we cannot simply remove our fence as hers is not fluid and continuous. In the process of installing the additional partition along our back fence, our fence posts have been destabilized and now disconnected from the rest of the neighborhood fence structure. On the Day the fence was constructed all three adjacent property owners called 311 as none of us were contacted nor did any of us give consent for our property to be removed or …
Ramirez, Elaine From: Sent: To: Subject: Past Chair Sunday, July 11, 2021 7:51 PM Ramirez, Elaine E-3 C15-2021-0048. 8300 N IH35 and 600 E Powell, The Hedge > *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi Elaine - Could you pass this on? Thanks! ============= Chair, Vice Chair, Boardmembers - The applicant told you last month that they had not yet talked to the community about transportation features that could realistically reduce demand for parking spaces. Fortunately, we've done quite a bit of work on the issue of connecting our residents in the interstate apartments and motels, so we do have some information: PROJECT FEASIBILITY I'm not positive this is the most current number, but the sidewalk cost I have from the city is $24 per square foot. For a 10-foot-side sidewalk, roughly 300 feet, the city cost would be $72,000. The applicant's proposed $25,000 "contribution" amounts to asking the city to reduce their parking requirement AND to spend $47,000 on their internal sidewalk. A stronger proposal would simply be that the applicant construct the ADA-accessible route to city urban trail standards. If they can do it cheaper, Yay for them. In order to construct the trail, there would need to be site plan adjustments for both the 8300 N IH 35 property and the 600 E Powell Ln property. I don't believe that you can approve a variance for 600 E Powell under the current case. The applicant's proposal is not clear in how the process would be connected to assure that if they get the parking variance, the route to E Powell would for sure be constructed. The applicant is also asking to use 600 E Powell Ln for two years as temporary parking. It is not clear what that means, or what drives the two year time frame. One of the conditions of the current site plan for that property is that there not be vehicle access to E Powell Ln. If there were to be vehicle access from 600 E Powell to Powell Ln, the trips per day for the apartment use would likely trigger a neighborhood traffic analysis. Based on the NTA for the other affordable apartments on E Powell, they would be required to pay for the impact. CRIME SAFETY We had a small mobility justice grant from the city equity office this spring which included community workers interviewing residents of our interstate apartments …

FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: original house built in 1957 included a carport, carports are a common feature in the area 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: each lot in Bellaire Section 1 was developed independently, site plan layouts and floor plans are different for each other, the property lot elevations slopes from the front of the property toward the house so that water running off the original roof fell directly on the driveway, flowed towards the house and pooled in the original carport area. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: each lot in Bellaire Section 1 was developed independently. 3. The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: Carport has been in place since 2003, simply want to maintain it as is, open on 3 sides and is only 1 story tall, so it does not present any adverse effects to neighboring properties. ______________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison Diana Ramirez for ____________________________ Jessica Cohen Chair
