The Target parking lot is escalated above grade by 4’ so we were allowed an over all height of 31’ for this new pylon. • Location Issues: We had a location for the pylon however, when we went to dig the hole, there was an underground pipe that was not detected as it was on Targets property and not part of the underground utilities that is marked by the underground utility locator. • Variance Request: I would like to see if we can get an additional 10’ – 12’ of height approved. The location that would require this are within the tree line and would therefore need the height increase for the sign to be seen.

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.

4901 Mirador Dr Variance Request Case Number: C15-2022-0022 Presenter: Frank Fuentes Variance Request To have a Front Yard setback of 30’ Required Front Yard Setback Land Development Code Section 25-2-492 Site Development Regulations for a Front Yard setback of 40’ for RR zoning Hardship Due to the slope of the lot and restrictions, it would be difficult to utilize the narrow allowed buildable space of the property without encroaching into the Water Quality Easement which covers more than 2/3 of the lot. Hardship Parcel is divided by the Austin ETJ and Austin LTD jurisdictions and is currently zoned as RR zoning, the spot zoning within the LTD has not been conclusively established. Hardship The majority of the 88 homes in the Barton Creek South subdivision and per the recorded design guidelines have followed a 30’ front set back created at the time of the plat. The Barton Creek South subdivision recorded guidelines set a 30’ setback for this lot. Area Character Surrounding homes, in both the LTD Jurisdiction and the ETJ Jurisdiction in the subdivision were built following the 30' front setback as shown in the BCS guidelines The majority of the subdivision is located within the Austin ETJ. The property is one of few located in Austin LTD. Hardship The Lot is split between the Austin LTD and ETJ jurisdictions. The Home was designed to utilize the Buildable area of the property as per the BCS guidelines Homes in the subdivision do not have the RR zoning and have utilized the 30' Setback. Community Support Signatures received in support of the change to a 30’ front setback. Community Support from Owner’s Association Conclusion The variance will allow the building of a home on the restricted section of the lot with the same setback requirements as followed by other homes built in this subdivision while still following the RR zoning.

BOA Variance Package December 28, 2021 Project: 3002 Rivercrest Drive Owner and development team is seeking a variance request to allow a new construction build at 3002 Rivercrest Drive, Austin, Texas 78746. F-3/1-PRESENTATION The Lake Austin zoning (25-2-492) requires a 40’ setback from the front lot line and we are requesting a 25’ setback for only a portion of the build (32’ 1 1/4” out of 106.86’). F-3/2-PRESENTATION The original plat (1961) and amended plat (1995) show a 25' building line. The only reason it was replatted was to reflect the lot lines due to a public utility easement access.

Per the survey the entire lot stands at a total of 3,380 SF. This is probably one of the smallest lots existing in Austin. The owner is requesting to build a modest home for his family and only asking for leniency as far as the current SF3 lot size requirement and for a reasonable reduction of 15 feet from the standard front yard setback. In order to build a livable space for a single family, the additional square footage is undoubtably necessary. F-7/8-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP This substandard lot has always been used as a single family residence since the early 1940s. The original structures of a single family 480 SF home and 162 SF garage still exist. This particular lot runs along a side alley on the north side of lot also which has a 15 foot electrical easement. Per current building requirements and the Austin Energy Criteria Manual, this reduces the buildable area by an approximate 1,040 due to the newly adopted requirement by AE. F-7/9-PRESENTATION NOT GENERAL TO THE AREA A majority of the lots in this neighborhood are at or above minimum lot sizes per COA LDC. There are only a few small lots in the Holly Neighborhood plan …

TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: M E M O R A N D U M Mayor and Council January 14, 2022 Denise Lucas, Director, Development Services Department Update on Resolution No. 20211014-045 – Board of Adjustment Applicant Assistance Program On October 14, 2021, City Council adopted Resolution No. 20211014-045 directing the City Manager to explore the creation of a Board of Adjustment Applicant Assistance Program (BAAP) for residential homestead applicants who are requesting a hardship variance or special exception. The resolution contemplates the creation of a BAAP fund to support fee waivers or reductions for applicants who meet the eligibility criteria; as well as pro bono assistance with navigating the application process and subsequent proceedings. To meet the requirements outlined in this resolution, staff is working with the Financial Services Department to identify a funding source. In addition, staff is working with the procurement office to develop a process to procure pro-bono legal services. Staff does not anticipate completing all the components of the Council direction until May 2022 at which time a full response will be provided. Should you have questions or need additional information, please contact Doron Silberstein, Equity and Inclusion Program Manager, at doron.silberstein@austintexas.gov or (512) 978-1732. cc: Spencer Cronk, City Manager Rodney Gonzales, Assistant City Manager
MEMORANDUM ______ February 2, 2022 Boards and Commissions Kerri Lang, FSD - Budget Officer FY 2022-23 Budget Process and Calendar TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: Resident and stakeholder feedback on budget priorities, including input from the City’s various boards and commissions, remains a key component of the annual budget development process. The FY 2021-22 Budget included investments in community priorities such as, critical infrastructure, cultural and creative spaces, and a renewal in our commitment to advancing progress within the transformative Reimagining Public Safety (RPS) framework. Since the 3.5% tax revenue cap took effect in FY 2020-21, the City has implemented measures aimed at flattening the organization’s cost curve, as well as identifying potential new revenue streams. These measures have helped allow the City to propose a balanced budget. However, the financial outlook for the City continues to project expenditures exceeding revenue. Thus, it remains crucial to focus recommendations and to provide feedback on the efficiency, equity, and effectiveness of the City’s existing services and programs. As in previous years, the Budget Office will coordinate with City departments to review recommendations passed by boards and commissions. We are requesting recommendations be submitted online at www.austintexas.gov/budget. All recommendations must be received by March 31, 2022. This will allow the Budget Office the necessary time to review the recommendations with Department staff. For your information, the Council-approved calendar for the FY 2022-23 budget is shown below: • March 31 • May 6 • July 15 • July 27 • August 17 Board and Commission recommendations due to the Budget Office Department budgets due to the Budget Office Presentation of the FY 2022-23 Proposed Budget to City Council Community Input Session Budget Adoption Additional information can be found at www.austintexas.gov/budget.

I appreciate your consideration and marked the form “I do not Support” that is not 100% accurate. I only wish there to be consideration to insure there is not a parking issue on this narrow street and this steep curve. If there is no off-street parking made available at this lot, there will be issues. Currently when a car is parked on the asphalt at this lot, it blocks over ½ of the street making it dangerous for a car coming down the hill by needing to be on the wrong side of the street during this steep blind curve. COMMENTS: Regarding the proposed variances for case C15-2022-0021 I have one concern. The requested 15’ front yard setback should be reviewed as per my comments below. There is a unique issue with this project. Robbins Road is a narrow, non-standard road only 18 feet wide. This is barely enough for two cars to pass plus this property is on a steep curve that causes additional issues for parked cars. Most of us living on this street have either provided for extra parking off the street on our property, or the ROW, to add gravel so guests have room to park off the road. While I do not know where the front/street property line starts, I would suggest you review it to insure there is enough room to add such a parking area. It is quite possible this can be achieved and allow the 15’ setback variance but should be reviewed and be part of your consideration. In addition to owning a home on the street, I was the builder of a neighboring home at 3605 Robbins Road where a variance was granted allowing a similar front yard variance. In the case of the 3605 Robbins granted variance, it was to allow a below street grade garage with parking on top that allows for off street parking for guests.
