The property in question is at 509 E 38th Street and can be found by Case Number C15-2022-0043. The request for postponement is being made because the neighbors closest to this property do not feel we have enough information to allow the request to be approved without us further understanding what it is they are proposing to build. There are young children who live right behind this house and long time home owners who greatly value the less density of our neighborhood, keeping the noise to a minimum and to not encourage additional traffic. People already cut through this very intersection to avoid the Duval light. Anything that will encourage more unnecessary residential traffic is a reduction in quality of life while our property taxes increase at a wildly out of control rate. Please accept this form as my request for a postponement in an effort to allow the impacted neighbors to meet with the applicant in an effort to understand the reason for the request. Warm regards, …

Thank you. I was told that replying by email was a satisfactory way to respond to a Public Hearing Notice I recently received in the mail. I am responding to case # C15-2022-0047 for the Board of Adjustment to be heard on June 13, 2022. You are the contact person listed. I object to the proposed code variance request. I feel that instead of reducing the required 10' setback to the proposed 5' on the Rear Yard Setback and compromising their neighbor they should add the 5' they are trying to gain to the front of the Garage/Studio which has ample distance to accommodate the 5'. This added 5' should be on the front side of the building that faces E.46th St. instead of compromising the neighbor and the Rear Yard Setback. Thank you.

4507 NORTH INTERSTATE 35 Sign Proposal for Apple Tree Holdings Alex Ybarra Director, Apple Tree Holdings LLC 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 1 of 27 C-2/1-PRESENTATION INTRODUCTION The property at 4507 North Interstate 35 is uniquely situated at the I-35 split and is surrounded by several trees. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 2 of 27 C-2/2-PRESENTATION LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE Relevant Code: §25-10-123 (Expressway Corridor Sign Districts) (B)(2)(b)(i) and §25-10-123 (B)(3)(a) which regulate the sign area and sign height, respectively. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 3 of 27 C-2/3-PRESENTATION VARIANCE FINDINGS First: The existing sign is blocked from view by large trees, many of which are over 35 feet high. These trees are either on neighboring properties or city property; therefore, petitioner has no control over those trees. We would also like to preserve trees on the 4507 property to the fullest extent possible. The proximity to the I-35 split also causes visibility issues. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 4 of 27 C-2/4-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 5 of 27 C-2/5-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 6 of 27 C-2/6-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 7 of 27 C-2/7-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 8 of 27 C-2/8-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 9 of 27 C-2/9-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 10 of 27 C-2/10-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 11 of 27 C-2/11-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 12 of 27 C-2/12-PRESENTATION VARIANCE FINDINGS Second: The granting of these variances will not have a substantially adverse impact upon neighboring properties as our assessment is that continued development of 4507 provides a benefit to the neighborhood through crime reduction, continued investment, and improvement of a previously abandoned property. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD Case Number: C16-2022-0004 Page 13 of 27 C-2/13-PRESENTATION LETTER IN SUPPORT Our neighbor, Copernicus STEM Academy, signed a letter in support of the sign variance.

Variance Request 1305 Singleton July 11, 2022 D-2/1-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Summary • We are seeking two variances that will allow us to build a primary residence behind an existing 728 sf home. The two variances have to do with the location of the secondary dwelling, and the rear yard setback. 25-2-744-C-2-A: “THE SECOND DWELLING UNIT MUST BE LOCATED AT LEAST 10 FEET TO THE REAR OR SIDE OF THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE. 25-2-492 “MINIMUM SETBACK: REAR YARD: SF3: 10 FEET” • This property includes an origional house, refinished in 2012, that typifies the character of the area and is worth preserving per the chestnut neighborhood plan. Providing us with this variance will allow us to preserve the existing cottage and have equitable land use as enjoyed by neighbors. • Remaining historic homes in the neighborhood are dwindling and few older homes are well maintained enough to save. Furthermore, most older homes on the street are over 900 sf and so already have a front-of-property primary structure. Therefore, most owners are not burdened with the choice between preservation and demolition. • This variance to maintain the cottage while building a principal structure at the rear will help to maintain neighborhood character D-2/2-PRESENTATION Example Location A Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Proposed Site Plan (Example Locations Only) IMPORTANT NOTE: Unfortunately, the tree at the back of the property is in poor health. It has been checked by a 3rd party arborist who determined that it will fall down in 2 years. As a result, we have obtained a permit to remove the tree. Example Location B D-2/3-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Photographs The structure at 1305 Singleton was always a beautiful and redemable structure. It has solid construction and design features that are hard to find like large windows and high ceilings. The 2012 rennovation gave this structure a new life. The refinished materials and new systems mean this home should easily last another 50 years. It is a unique building and a building worth saving. D-2/4-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Photographs D-2/5-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Photographs D-2/6-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Photographs D-2/7-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Conceptual Massing This proposal would leave the existing house as-is, maintaining the neighborhoods character and urban fabric. This conceptual massing shows the new construction from street front. The homes on this portion of Singleton include 7 single-story older homes and 5 two- story …

Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Context: Street-Front Homes 1311 Singleton (1420 sf / 907 sf) 1309 Singleton (1,464) 1307 Singleton (1533 sf / 866 sf) 1305 Singleton (728 sf) 1303 Singleton (--) 1301 Singleton (--) 1 3 1 1 1 3 0 9 1 3 0 7 1 3 0 5 1 3 0 3 1 3 0 1 D-2/10-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Context: 2-Story Alley Development 1305 Singleton is surrounded by examples of substantial 2-story “sedondary units” built on the alley. We point this out to demonstrate that the “side or rear” “sedondary unit” rule does not result in smaller massing on the alley. There are 11 properties on the alley adjacent to 1305 Singleton and 7 of them include a second 2-story structure on the ally lot-line. Adjacent to 1305 Singleton are two examples of this at 1307 Singleton and 1304 Cedar. Contructing the “primary residence” at the back of the property does not diminish the character of the alley and does not disturb the current massing. Furthermore, the existence of the alley buffers the proposed primary structure from adjacent properties. 5 1 2 3 1 3 0 5 S I N G L E T O N 6 7 4 2 6 1 5 4 3 7 D-2/11-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Plan Support D-2/12-PRESENTATION Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Association Support City of Austin Board of Adjustment June 10, 2022 Dear Board Members. This letter serves to express the Chestnut Neighborhood Plan Contact Team’s support for the requested variance at 1305 Singleton Avenue. One of the goals in our adopted Neighborhood Plan is to Promote the Rehabilitation of Existing Housing & New, Infill Housing Compatible with the Old Style of the Neighborhood. The applicant’s proposal to preserve the existing front house, and add new infill housing in the rear, fully aligns with this neighborhood goal. We respectfully request that you approve this variance.

D-3/6-PRESENTATION Navigating the Process In speaking with the city offices in an attempt to understand the building codes, i was told conflicting information: ● We only needed 5 feet from our side yard to build a shed. This turned out to be 15 feet because of the street side setback, but even in reading through the municipal code handbook multiple times, it doesn’t state this with regard to sheds/accessory structures. ● Given incorrect codes from city officials when applying for variance (which speaks to the vagueness of the city code) ● Differing opinions of enforcement within the city ● Only after sifting through BOA hearings back to 2021 did I find another case that mirrored our situation. Without that I would have confidently built the structure thinking I was within code.

1409 Possum Trot BOA Request C15-2020-0038 E-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. E-1/2-PRESENTATION Duplex at 1409 Possum Trot Requested 5-foot rear setback E-1/3-PRESENTATION Proposed Subdivision Plat E-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. E-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. E-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. E-1/7-PRESENTATION

Codes have no meaning unless they are enforced except in cases of exceptional hardship, and this is not such a case. The code is established for a set of purposes that need to be pursued. Furthermore, the recommended change allowing a decrease in setback would set a precedent for future adverse development within the neighborhood. -- Thomas L. Pangle Joe R. Long Endowed Chair in Democratic Studies Department of Government University of Texas at Austin http://www.la.utexas.edu/users/tlp374/ And Co-Director, Thomas Jefferson Center for the Study of Core Texts and Ideas University of Texas at Austin https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/coretexts/ Download papers and articles at: https://utexas.academia.edu/ThomasPangle D-4/1-LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Megan Meisenbach Ramirez, Elaine C-15-2022-0058 2202 Longview St Monday, July 04, 2022 11:09:29 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Greetings Ms Ramirez, Please convey my objection to the Board of Adjustment concerning the requested variances listed. Here are some of the reasons why these variances should be denied. 1. Such a decrease in setback would set a precedent for future development within the neighborhood and near-by residential neighborhoods and could lead to more variances of all types. 2. The developer knew what the setbacks were when they bought the property. Their action of purchasing the property came with the assumption of due diligence. 3. The current property set back is designed to promote a unified appearance to the neighborhood. Ther variances will upset the historic look of the streets and look out of place. 4. The requested 5 foot setbacks do not leave room for the eaves of a roof. Water runoff may land on the neighboring property promoting fast run-off and pave the way to flooding which is already a problem in this area. The Public Hearing is scheduled before the Board of Adjustment on July 11, 2022 (next Monday). Case Number: C-15-2022-0058 "The applicant is requesting a variance(s) from the Land Development Code Section 25-2-492 (Site Development Regulations) from setback requirements to: a) decrease the minimum rear yard setback from 10 feet (required) to 5 feet (requested) for the existing non-complying primary residence to …

I am writing to express my opposition to Variance Request A. This variance is asking to lessen the amount of distance that may be built upon, in relation to the edge of the property lines. The code is currently set at 25 feet. The applicant wants to lessen this distance to only 7 feet from the eastern property line, and 13 feet from the southern one. I fell that the requested distances are too close to the property border for building, especially the one requesting only 7 feet! I would like to express my opposition to those items, am fine with the requests from Variance B.

Remember as a kid asking for something from your parents but trying to ask them separately? I think CMBH2 is doing that. They didn’t get what they wanted from the ZAP so now they are asking the Board of Adjustment. This property was purchased in March 2021 by CMCBH2 Company LLC. Their initial zoning change request (C14-2021-0056) was opposed by the Matthews Lane Neighborhood Association (MLNA).

From: To: Subject: Date: Molly Nefkens Ramirez, Elaine Comments for hearing on case # C15-2020-0038, July 11, 2022 Saturday, July 02, 2022 2:06:30 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi Elaine, We have submitted comments regarding this property before (see below) and remain opposed to decreasing the rear yard set back from 10 feet (required, per code) to the requested 5 feet (not to code). The statement on the latest city mailed letter states that the purpose of this variance is to “maintain an existing duplex”. We do not understand why decreasing the set back helps the owner with maintainance. As well, it appears that perhaps the duplex was not built to code originally (is this possible?). We are also wondering about why this issue is being revisited when it was already taken up a year ago? I believe granting variances for reducing set backs establishes an undesirable precedent for our neighborhood. As we are all aware, Austin has undone explosive growth, and new construction is happening all around us. We rely on the city to enforce our city codes with new construction. I live at 1403 Possum Trot St. and recently finished construction on my own home. We were expected to follow ALL city codes, and did so. The home next to me at 1401 Possum Trot St. is planning to undergo demolition and rebuild, and the home across the street at 2501 Inwood Place is for sale and will almost surely undergo an extensive remodel if not complete demolition. We would not be in agreement with construction at either of these two locations not following set back codes, and we are not in agreement with 1409 Possum Trot St. being granted a variance allowing further encroachment against the shared property line with 1405 Possum Trot Street. If there is new information or new codes this time around, different from this request from year ago, please help us understand the differences so we may be better informed about this issue. We are likely to be traveling and unable to attend the scheduled meeting in person, but we would like to know our comments will be provided to the Board of Adjustment. Thank you for your time and help in this matter, Molly & Mike Nefkens 1403 Possum Trot Street 650-644-5053 Begin forwarded message: From: Molly Nefkens <m Subject: Comments for hearing on case # C15-2020-0038 Date: July …

Unfortunately I have had to go out of town unexpectedly and won't be able to attend. Could you please add the following to be included in the discussion? Please let me know you received it and will be included. Thanks, Abbey 713-444-0272 To Whom It May Concern, My name is Abbey Ames and I live at 508 Texas Ave, which backs up to 509 E 38th Street. I oppose the proposal for code variance as they have created this conflict with their drawn subdivision plans. Ultimately, I am concerned how this plan would allow them to easily subdivide the lot into a north and south lot. By doing so, the house they intend to build (on south lot) will be closer to my property line and backyard. There have been some drawings of the current property that indicate trees in "poor health" (on the southernmost property line). I am concerned that, in order to build a house on the proposed southern lot, they will seek to eliminate such tree. They do not appear sick to my untrained eye and I know the city does a wonderful job protecting trees, but I am concerned it will continue to decrease the privacy and charm of neighborhood. I spoke with applicant who said they avoid tearing down trees, but I'm not sure how they can build a house on the south lot without removing some of the existing trees. Lastly, With the lots not facing 38th, there will be increased parked cars & therefore traffic on Liberty Street, which can already get congested. I recognize the lot can be subdivided. Though I believe their proposed plans will negatively impact my home's value and privacy, which is why I am opposed to the code variance.

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: the structure will still be setback 5 feet from out property line, which is 15 feet from the street. ______________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison ____________________________ Jessica …
