This will include all previously postponed cases slated to be heard at the April 13th meeting; those will now be heard at the May 11, 2020 meeting. May 11, 2020 The public hearing was closed by Chair Don Leighton- Burwell, Board Member William Hodge motions to Grant, Board Member Melissa Hawthorne seconds on an 11-0 vote; GRANTED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: City of Austin is requesting more lot width at the property line which reduces the width of the property line to less than 50 feet required. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: subdivided many of the tracts in the area either un-platted or were platted without requirements (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: no known lots in the immediate area attempting to resolve an illegal subdivision (two lots) 3. 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: request lot width is only applicable to the 1st few feet of lot and the building setback line with lot will be wider as requested ______________________________ ____________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison Don Leighton-Burwell Chairman Diana Ramirez for
