Ste. 400 Austin, Texas 78759 phone: (512) 657-7349 email: l December 12, 2019 Elaine Ramirez Board of Adjustment Liaison Planner Senior City of Austin Development Services Department One Texas Center, 1st Floor 505 Barton Springs Rd Subject: Case C15-2019-0046, 4320 James Casey St. Dear Elaine, Please accept this letter requesting a postponement of the above referenced Board of Adjustment case file. Please postpone until the March 9, 2020 meeting. Please allow me to let you and the Board know where we are. As you know the Board Members wanted us to meet with the Neighborhood Association for their consent to add parking to the site. The South Manchaca Neighborhood Association meets in July and in November. We had a great meeting with the NA Contact Team in November at the Austin Java. We reviewed the project and the outcome was they would be in favor of parking only in the setback which is all we are requesting. A formal vote would not take place until after the first round of comments from a Land Use Plan Review submittal. We have a civil engineer engaged and we are working on the site plan submittal. We hope to be in the City in the next week. We respectfully request that our BOA case remain open as we are diligently working the process. I believe that we should be through completeness check and the first round of comments with approval from the Neighborhood Association by the March meeting. We understand we may need re-notification and that may well be in order as we may need to modify the notification as needed. Thank you very much for your consideration and I will appear at the BOA January meeting in the event there are any questions from the Board. Sincerely, Lila Nelson Principal P-1/3P-1/4P-1/5P-1/6P-1/7P-1/8P-1/9BOA REVIEW COVERSHEET CASE: C15-2019-0046 BOA DATE: August 12, 2019 ADDRESS: 4320 James Casey St. COUNCIL DISTRICT: 3 OWNER: Benjamin Wu AGENT: Lila Nelson ZONING: LO-V-NP (South Manchaca) LEGAL DESCRIPTION: 0.1700 AC OF BLK 9D BOULDIN J E ESTATE VARIANCE REQUEST: Compatibility Setback requirements SUMMARY: off-street parking serving future use ISSUES: not enough space for parking ZONING LAND USES Site LO-V-NP Limited Office North GO-V-NP; LO-NP General Office; Limited Office South SF-3-NP Single-Family East GO-V; LO-NP General Office; Limited Office West SF-3-NP; LO-NP General Office; Limited Office NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATIONS: Austin Independent School District Austin Lost and Found Pets Austin Neighborhood Council Bike Austin Friends of Austin Neighborhoods Go Austin Vamos Austin 78745 Hill Country Conservancy Homeless Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Empowerment Foundation Onion Creek Homeowners Assoc.

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: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Hardship a)The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that:____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ b)The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because:____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ P-1/14P-1/15Area Character 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: ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Parking (additional criteria for parking variances only) Request for a parking variance requires the Board to make additional findings. The Board may grant a variance to a regulation prescribed in the City of Austin Land Development Code Chapter 25-6, Appendix A with respect to the number of off-street parking spaces or loading facilities required if it makes findings of fact that the following additional circumstances also apply: 1.Neither present nor anticipated future traffic volumes generated by the use of the site or theuses of sites in the vicinity reasonably require strict or literal interpretation and enforcement ofthe specific regulation because:____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 2.The granting of this variance will not result in the parking or loading of vehicles on publicstreets in such a manner as to interfere with the free flow of traffic of the streets because:____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 3.The granting of this variance will not create a safety hazard or any other condition inconsistentwith the objectives of this Ordinance because:____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 4.The variance will run with the use or uses to which it pertains and shall not run with the sitebecause:____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ P-1/16P-1/17Section 3: Applicant Certificate I affirm that my statements contained in the complete application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
