(the 25 ft length being parallel to Lake Austin) and utilizing existing pilings. Board Member Jessica Cohen seconds on an 11-0 vote; GRANTED AS PER E-1/2 PRESENTATION WITH A FOOTPRINT OF 25 FT. X 22 FT. (THE 25 FT LENGTH BEING PARALLEL TO LAKE AUSTIN) AND UTILIZING EXISTING PILINGS. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: existing and reconstruction of boat dock that was previously approved and has an environmental board variance and utilizing existing pilings and reconfiguration makes it a better place. Lot has odd configuration, it comes in towards the end of the lot making the frontage shorter as well as the existing docks being reconfigured 2. (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: 3. The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not reconfiguration of its existing dock and its removal and replacement using existing pilings 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: parts of existing dock be removed and brought back from the shoreline therefore creating better channels situation. ______________________________ ____________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison Don Leighton-Burwell Chairman E-1/2-PRESENTATION
