I Ama Zilker neighbor live at 904 Ethel St and am writing a letter of support in favor of Case # 2021-000085 BA for the property located at 1003 Kinney. The design is far superior than the ubiquitous Hardie plan structures in the neighborhood being erected by many spec builders and will help contribute, not detract to the neighborhood character. The existing structure is in poor condition. All buildings have a natural life.. The IRS limits the functional life of a building to 27.5 years. This particular structure is in disrepair and not economically feasible to be repaired. Every property owner deserves the right to replace their existing home. In this case, the zoning does not allow for reasonable use of the land. I think the Board is justified in approving the request because reasonable use is currently excluded. The property is unique to the area. I am aware of only 3 lots in Zilker that are less than 5750 square feet that are not exempted from variance by the age of the plat. …

Owner and development team is seeking a variance request to allow for a new construction build on a substandard lot located at 1003 Kinney Ave. Austin, TX 78704. Current lot size is 5,461 SF and minimum allowable site to build on per current SF-3 zoning is 5,750 SF. The hardship is the original full lot size of 10,928 SF when split into halves of 5,461 SF for our lot, and 5,468 for the adjacent ½ lot, does not meet the minimum site area required by current SF-3 Zoning. This hardship would not be able to be overcome without the approval of the BOA in our variance request. Without the variance request this lot would remain vacant as we have confirmed through our research and the option of obtaining a portion of the adjacent city owned alley was rejected by the COA. Original plat and our most current site plat are from 1896. However, our lot was split into two separate tax parcels with no updated plat in 1947. The deeds in our following presentation packet document this transfer of ownership from legal lot to substandard lot status with no plat update. This was also confirmed through the Travis County Tax Accessor’s Office. The Tax Parcel map and deed documents indicate this split. In addition to the conflicting lot history that split the lots without updating the plat, there was construction allowed on the adjacent 1/2 lot last approved by the COA in 2007. This new construction had a previous residence which was demolished with no variance required to build new on the lot. Subsequent building permit was obtained for 2007 and was confirmed with our COA contact Eric Thomas. In seeking our variance, we have researched two avenues in how to be able to build on our lot. One being the recommended avenue of seeking a 1995 plat exemption to apply for legal lot status and therefore not require a variance, and second requesting a variance through the BOA. There was a previous land status determination that was approved on our lot through the 1995 Rule Platting Exception that was granted on February 25, 2019 and included in our Advanced packet. We presented this information to our permit reviewers/supervisors for an E-2/1-PRESENTATION avenue forward to build on our site, however the city of Austin planning department would not allow us to build on our lot with only that as documentation …

D-1/1-LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Kurt Schultz Ramirez, Elaine Public hearing LD Code Variance. Case# C15-2021-0057 (2000 Peach Tree) Wednesday, December 08, 2021 3:57:57 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms Ramirez, Referring to Case Number C15-2021-0057 The applicant is requesting a variance from Land Development Code, Section 25-2-899 (D) Fences as accessory uses). I received a notice in the mail because I live within 500 feet I have lived in and owned my house since 1995 and am against granting this variance for several reasons. First and foremost is that we reported this deviation from code well before the fence was finished. When the pre-framing was started, it was obvious that the fence was going to be too high. It was reported to 311, who then referred me to Residential Review where I reported it again. I was then referred to Code Compliance where I reported it again. I was then referred to Code Violation where I reported it again and had several conversations with the inspector during the time the fence was under construction. At least four (4) Notices of Violation were sent, along with a requirement allowing 30 days to comply (with accompanying fines mentioned The other reasons have to do partly with the aesthetics of the neighborhood. Granting a variance like this will only encourage others to request variances which will further erode the character of the neighborhood. These types of fences result in what looks like "Compounds" that discourage the neighborliness of the neighborhood and make it feel more like a separated "Gated" community. These kinds of additions also drive up property values which, because taxes are based on "market value", results in higher taxes for everyone in the neighborhood. The fence is also built on a berm, so the effective height is well over seven (7) feet. The new owners also contend that there is a business across the street on the Bluebonnet side which justifies their request, but that business has been there for many, many years and the previous owner of the property had only a much shorter chain link fence which encompassed only half of his lot The new owners also think that because there are a few other out of compliance fences in the neighborhood, that in itself should justify allowing a variance. I disagree and think that those fences should also be made to come …

Comments: I am the next door neighbor to Mr. & Mrs. Burkhart and our property shares a fence line with their property. We believe the variance request should be granted Bluebonnet Lane is a busy street, not only for vehicular traffic, but also bicycles and pedestrians. It is a popular route to get to large events such as ACL Festival, Trail of Lights, Blues on the Green, and many others. Our properties are also across the street from businesses such as Bluebonnet Food Mart and Thoroughbread, further increasing the amount of activity around our homes. Tall fences are the norm along this street to ensure privacy and increase security. The fence at 2000 Peach Tree Street is very attractive and in similar taste as many other fences along Bluebonnet. Please let me know if you need any additional information in order to have my comments submitted to the Board of Adjustment.

I am strongly in favor of granting the variance, for the following reasons: 1) Aesthetically the fence and landscaping are gorgeous! A+ on the whole project. The fence fits wonderfully into the Peach Tree neighborhood as well as this section of Bluebonnet. It actually improves the cohesiveness of the neighborhood. 2) Directly across the street from the Burkharts’ home is a commercial section. Michael A Laundry, Bluebonnet Market, Thoroughbread, as well as Zilker Properties are there. Modelo and Budweiser routinely park their 18 wheeler trucks and cabs in front of their home, as the beer companies seem to deliver around 7:30 in the morning. I’m sure the fence provides some relief …

This is the property listed in the case number I put in the subject line. This change will dramatically raise the heights of this development and I think will be a big detractor in the neighborhood. Higher buildings mean more people which means more traffic and more potential parking spaces getting taken not to mention the size will be over bearing. 40 feet is already high enough but the fact they want to raise it to 60 feet is not acceptable in my opinion. I am completely opposed to this variance and I will be returning the form to the city and I will also make my best efforts to attend the variance hearings. In a nutshell I oppose this variance request. If you have any additional follow-up questions please feel free to contact me. Elaine, Regards, Zach R.

Here are a few reasons I think the variance should be approved: The city is behind on its housing goals (both affordable and market rate), and building higher on this lot will get us close to meeting those goals. The property is serviced by two high frequency bus lines. Building more housing on this lot will help the city meet its mode shift goals outlined in the ASMP. The North Loop Neighborhood Association unanimously voted in support of the variance. Personally I don't think this should matter given how unrepresentative the association is of the neighborhood, but I guess that probably matters to some of the commissioners. Compatibility requirements have a huge impact on this site, and it would be a real shame if we let those requirements get in the way of a better project for everyone.

Zilker Neighborhood Association __________________________________________________________________ Zoning Committee zilkerneighborhood@gmail.com Austin, TX 78704 December 5, 2021 Re: 1003 Kinney, lot-size variance, Case C15-2021-0100 December 13 Agenda item E2 To: Board of Adjustment c/o Elaine Ramirez, Development Review Dept., City of Austin via email Elaine.Ramirez@austintexas.gov Chair and Board Members: Thank you for allowing the zoning committee of the Zilker Neighborhood Association (ZNA) to review the variance request for 1003 Kinney (to decrease the minimum lot size from 5750 to 5464 square feet) and to share our recommendations with the applicants. City of Austin Supervisor Eric Thomas has now dated the parcel to September 1947, confirming that the minimum lot requirement of 5750 sf applies. His email of November 17 appears on page 9 of this letter. It eliminates the applicants’ argument that “At one time previously, it was likely this lot was larger, and would have met the minimum 5750sqft area for SF-3 and to not be considered a substandard lot.” Documents submitted by the applicants show that the alley has existed in its current configuration since 1896, and the dimensions of the parcel have always been approx. 62 ft × 88 ft—beginning in 1947, through 1962 when a house was built under the previous code, through March of this year when the applicants demolished the house, and up until today. That takes us back to the demolition question raised by ZNA at the hearing on November 8. The ZNA zoning committee believes that the “non-complying structure” regulations apply in this case (see 25-2-963 and 964, on page 7). This code allows an owner to rebuild or maintain an existing structure that does not comply with current code, as long as 50% of the supporting structure is preserved. Clearly, the zoning regulations allowed reasonable use before the house was demolished. ZNA is aware of two similar variance requests, at 1107 Kinney and 1516 Kinney, where lots were scraped without regard to 25-2-963. Both variances were denied for lack of a qualifying hardship. At 1003 Kinney, we now know that the entire structure was demolished sometime this year, and it was the applicants’ responsibility to verify before demolition that new construction would be 1 E-2/1-LATE BACKUP allowed. Evidence submitted by the applicants confirms that they were aware of the substandard lot size as early as January 2021, before they purchased the property. (A chronology appears on page 6.)

The increased height to 5 stories will have a negative impact on the aesthetics of the Skyview Neighborhood as well as a negative impact on the aesthetics of Koenig Ln. The height increase to 5 stories will increase the number of dwelling units further exacerbating the congestion already in the area. Although both the North Loop Neighborhood Association and the Skyview Neighborhood Association are voicing their support for the height variance, that does not mean all residents in both neighborhoods support the request. I participated in both neighborhood discussions about the Seco Development and their request for a height variance. I voiced my opposition but was out voted by the group. I stand by my opposition to the height variance because of the negative impact it will have on our neighborhood.
