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.

To increase maximum height to 47’ when between 50-100’ from triggering property (40’ required).

Zoning: MF-4 (approved September 2, 2021). Overview 3 E-4/3-PRESENTATION E-4/4-PRESENTATION Zoning Map 5 E-4/5-PRESENTATION Reasonable Use Multifamily development at this location is reasonable. No single-family uses in the vicinity. 6 E-4/6-PRESENTATION Reasonable Use Triggering property is state property that is not subject to City of Austin zoning regulation. Application of the zoning regulations significantly reduces the number of units that can be developed while not providing any protection to any single- family residential use or future use. 7 E-4/7-PRESENTATION Hardship Floodplain makes the southern end of the property less developable. The addition of the compatibility regulations reduce the buildable area by an additional 32.95%, making development infeasible. 8 E-4/8-PRESENTATION Floodplain Map 9 E-4/9-PRESENTATION E-4/10-PRESENTATION E-4/11-PRESENTATION Hardship Number of dwelling units on the tract is reduced from 251 to 188. Adjacent similarly shaped triangular tract to the southwest is distinguished from the subject tract because that tract is covered by floodplain; while the subject tract would be buildable if it were not subject to compatibility. 12 E-4/12-PRESENTATION Approval Does Not Alter Character of Neighborhood Multifamily use is a desirable and compatible use with the nearby McKinney Job Center and supported by Imagine Austin policies. Moderate density multifamily is suitable near arterial roadway (McKinney Falls Parkway). Multifamily use at this location is consistent with the purpose state of the MF-4 zoning district to provide residential units near employment opportunities. significant 13 E-4/13-PRESENTATION E-4/14-PRESENTATION 15 E-4/15-PRESENTATION

Cancialosi September 1, 2021 City of Austin 301 W. 2nd St. Austin, Texas 78701 City of Austin Board of Adjustment RE: Variance request for site at 3401 Rivercrest Dr. to amend impervious cover – Amended cover letter for October meeting Dear Board of Adjustment Commissioners, Per your request please find a bullet point list containing reasonable use, hardship, adverse impact and other related information. The site is ~37,000 lot built atop a hill as part of the platted Rivercrest Section 2 subdivision approved in mid- 1960’s. It is comprised of two lots which combined and individually do not meet LA lot size requirements. The individual platted lots were legally compliant with “A” zoning in mid-1960’s; however, are sub-standard to LA zoning requirements: Individual nor combined, they do not have minimum 1 ac in size and doe not have 100’ along a public right-of-way as required by LA zoning performance standards. The site was originally zoned “A” when COA asserted control over this area. In 1984, COA changed zoning to LA, which changed “A” zoned, legally compliant lots along the lake to a legal non-compliant lot (re: size) and associated structures (re: IC). Owner wishes to exercise reasonable use as intended by both the original plat and zoning change approval asserted by local jurisdictions to allow single-family house and associated accessory improvements. Current home is in need of repair and updating. Main concern is structural integrity of retaining walls surrounding hillside. Please see attached drainage letter per your request at August hearing. Rerouting the retaining walls and placement of new walls is necessary. This request is to amend impervious coverage calculations to 1) meet the actual LA code requirements and 2) correct erroneous permit issuance and inspection passage occurring in 2006. When COA forced LA zoning on this property it made site immediately non-compliant with respect, mostly, to impervious coverage. It was unbuildable by any reasonable standards. The subsequent 2006 permit approval exacerbated this issue. In 2006 COA approved extensive plans for new construction via permit #2006-002550, albeit erroneously. This approval was issued accordingly to SF-2 zoning standards. SF-2 zoning allows one to count the gross lot area of the entire ~37,000 SF lot (which approved 16% IC of gross lot area coverage per said application); however, LA zoning requires one to delineate calculations on a …

Seeking BOA Variance to reduce shoreline setback: • LDC 25-2-551(B)(1)(a) to reduce shoreline setback from 75’ to 25’ along a man-made slough that abuts the property via cut in boat slip. • Lake Austin shoreline setback is 75’ per staff’s current interpretation of where a shoreline setback is measured from as it relates to man made sloughs or inlets. • My client is seeking a 25’ Lake Austin shoreline setback from the slough. • The man-made slough has a cut-in slip created sometime between1955 and 1968 per City of Austin zoning profile aerials. • There does not appear to be any natural causation of the inlet. It appears wholly man made using various historical aerials and physical inspections.

The site was annexed June 15, 1968, and zoned “A” zoning which is the equivalent of today’s SF-2 zoning. The site does not front the main body of Lake Austin. It is only accessible to the water via a small inlet that connects to a lagoon. From that lagoon a straight line was dredged to the site. On the other side of the lagoon, it connects to the main body of Lake Austin via separate canal (from the lagoon). That canal travels under a bridge (Channel Road), then it connects to the main body. (please see aerial maps for quick reference). We believe the cut-in slip was created during the same time period as the actual inlet because the 1955 – 1968 aerials reflect the inlet being dredged from the lagoon during this time and not in any aerials before 1955. It shows the inlet in the same location between …

Scheduled hearing to be conducted by the Board of Adjustment on Monday, October 11, 2021, beginning at 5:30 PM. I have attached our written comments regarding our objection to these variance requests as they would directly impact our property value and privacy for our 8-year old daughter. We are willing to be in favor of the variance request for the 8ft fence as it would provide privacy from tenants in the erected apartment building but object to the development of a four (4) story building.
