I object to the application and its change from the current school use, which actually is a non conforming use under their current zoning. We don’t want more commercial traffic in our neighborhood. The dense commercial zoning in such close proximity to Casis Elementary School would present more traffic problems and dangers to the young children and the drivers on an already congested 2 lane Exposition Boulevard as well as nearby residential streets.

South Austin Neighborhood Alliance (SANA) ITEM09/1 ITEM09/2 Portion of the City of Austin Land Development Code applicant is seeking a variance from: BOA variance code 25-2-899 for fence height of 8 feet increased to 12 between residential and Public (Austin Energy Substation property line.) Section 2: Variance Findings The Board must determine the existence of, sufficiency of, and weight of evidence supporting the findings described below. Therefore, you must complete each of the applicable Findings Statements as part of your application. Failure to do so may result in your application being rejected as incomplete. Please attach any additional supporting documents. NOTE: The Board cannot grant a variance that would provide the applicant with a special privilege not enjoyed by others similarly situated or potentially similarly situated. I contend that my entitlement to the requested variance is based on the following findings: Reasonable Use The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: The current height restriction does not keep unauthorized people from entering the substation, creating potentially a life/death scenario around the energized high voltage equipment. The area is known for unhoused population traveling along the creek, on the north and east side, and around the substation. The 12' solid wall fence will help protect the high value assets within the substation while keeping the public from accessing the dangerous substation. See attached solid wall fence example. See Section 6 for additional information with regard to security. Hardship a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: The high voltage electrical substation is a safety hazard to people who are …
