We confirmed the presence of wetland and rimrock critical environmental features within 150’ of the proposed boat dock. WB1. Update 0. The proposed planting mitigation area I do not feel is appropriate. The area will be heavily shaded by the many trees on site. I recommend utilizing the area down-river of the boat dock, given that the homeowners own both lots. Also, please provide more details as to exactly where plantings will occur. Two of the plants require being placed in shallow water and it is unclear that this is to occur. To clear this comment, please move the proposed mitigation plantings to being sun and water appropriate. Agent Reply – In light of the expert advice please consider the updated planting plan for consideration, thank you! WB2.Update 0.

Wetlands Biologist Review - Brent Bellinger - 512-974-2717 WB2.Update 0. Per discussions with the homeowners, the single cut-in boat slip on the neighboring property, along with an area in the channel, could be dredged up to 25 cu yards to provide use of the existing boat slip and ease of access for construction equipment rather than going overland. WB2. Update 1. Comment remains. Applicant reply did not address this comment. It is unclear how work will be able to be carried out from the water without dredging. The area appeared to be too shallow to allow barge access. On sheet 2, please add detailed depth contours to clarify the depths available for a barge. It is also unclear why the owners are choosing not to dredge out the cut-in slip on the adjacent property. To clear this comment, please directly address the issue raised regarding the need for dredging. WB2. Update 2. Informal comment. Applicant submitted a site plan exemption for dredging; however, the request was made initially (see update 0 comment) by this reviewer to include dredge with the current site plan to ensure adequate review. To clear this informal comment, please provide to me and the case manager, through email, the dredge request submitted to DAC as an update to this site plan that shows the location of the proposed dredge, the dredge footprint (i.e., length, depth, width for determination of volume being removed), adequate turbidity controls, and the expanded LOC.

Box 1088 Austin, Texas 78767 Dear Director: Re: Site Plan Revision Application and Project Summary for Proposed Boat Dock Replacement, 3002 Scenic Drive on Lake Austin, TX On behalf of the owners of the referenced property I am presenting the attached site plan revision application and associated records requesting the release of a revised Site Plan (SP-01-0251D) for the development of a conforming Boat Dock, Dock Access, and Necessary Appurtenances in accordance with City Code 25-2-1173. Attached (Exhibit “B”) is the owner’s written authorization letter engaging me to act as the owner’s agent on these matters. The proposed plans and specifications comply with City Code 25-7-62 along with all other parts of City Ordinance No. 20140626-113 Relating to the Lake Austin Zoning District and the Regulation of Boat Docks, Bulkheads, and Shoreline Access. Additionally, the proposed replacement dock footprint will conform with the original 2001 dock footprint approved by the City per SP-01-0251D and accepted by the City per 2002- 012342 BP (Exhibit “R”). Listed below are the attached detailed project summary and records for application, plans, and supporting documents, as follows: Project Summary Acreage to be developed > 0.0165 Acres Watershed in which project is located > North Taylor Slough Type of development > Boat Dock, Dock Access, and Necessary Appurtenances Explanation of any proposed project phasing > None Methods to be used to handle storm water runoff > None Required Effect of the development will have on existing and future drainage systems > None Justification for exemption from the watershed protection regulations > No Variance Requested Erosion/Sedimentation Controls > Any Silt Fence, Turbidity Curtain, and/or any other controls as required by COA Environmental Inspector for the greatest level of environmental, health safety, and navigational protection.

The proposal would result in promoting the ecological function and maintaining the natural character of the lakeshore. Any denial of the requested application for the Site Plan Revision would be construed as deprivation of a privilege given to other property owners and would effectively deny these property owners a reasonable use.
