BOARD’S DECISION: BOA MEETING OCT 12, 2020 The public hearing was closed by Chair Don Leighton-Burwell, Board Member William Hodge motions to F-1/1Postpone to November 9, 2020, Board Member Darryl Pruett seconds on an 11-0 vote; POSTPONED TO NOVEMBER 9, 2020.

FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: providing a secondary unit on rear side of primary unit only allows 1100 sf less limiting amount redevelopment in order to preserve the structure in front and keep its context the scale and mass of the neighborhood allowing larger structure back while still needing all the other development regulations 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: has an original structure from the 20’s/30’s structure and context and mass of the road is consistent. (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 most of the lots don’t contain original structure as they have been demolished and the ones that have some context are putting larger units towards the rear. 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: it is supported by neighborhood association and most of properties are general in this area have smaller units in front and larger units in rear. ______________________________ ____________________________ Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison Don Leighton-Burwell Chairman F-1/2From: Mari Russ [mailto: Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2020 10:30 AM To: Ramirez, Elaine <Elaine.Ramirez@austintexas.gov> Subject: Re: Denied Cases C15-2020-0054 / 3612 Govalle Ave Hi Elaine, We would like to o the board to review our case again.

In fact, the Land Development Code revision that was proposed last year had a provision wherein if a developer maintained the front facade of the house then greater density could be built on the lot. Applicant is not asking for greater density or an increase in the allowable permeable cover, rather applicant is asking to maintain the house in the front and build a larger house in the back, a reverse of the typical large house in front and ADU in the back. Additionally, the surrounding lots also have similar density in the back. For these reasons the Govalle Neighborhood Association supports this variance. July 18, 2020 Sincerely, /Jessica L.
