Section 2 : Variance Findings The Board must determine the existence of, sufficiency of, and weight of evidence supporting the findings described below. 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 va riance 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 finding s: Reasonable Use The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: The regulations do not allow for a reasonable use of the property due to the configuration of the lot. which includes a shared drive in a 25'-wide access easement. which provides key acess to an adjacent condominium development. and due to the sloping to pography of the curved drive. which impacts the safety of replacing the drive with 2"-wide concrete strips. To preserve the drive without the variance . an existing patio must be demolished, the front walkway must be demolished and replaced by gravel, and the rear parking area must be demolished and replaced by 2'-wide concrete strips, and the house would have to be remodeled along th e sides. Hardship a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: The single-family residential property has a shared drive running through its backyard and is encumbered by a 25'-wide access easement, which is especially unique to the pLoperty due to the depth of the lot and the sloping, curving d rive. Also, due to nearby residential structures, the drive cannot be relocated without removing a key point of ingress and eg ress to nearby residences, and most houses in the area are not just a few inches within the side setbacks. b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: Properties with single-family residences in the area do not generally have a shared drivew ay and 25'-wide access easement runn ing through their back yards. There are a few lots in this area with an access easement running through them , but - with the exception of the adjacent lot to west - those lots have deeper lots than this property, and this is the only single-family lot of this depth that has a curving driveway with an approximate 10% slope traversing the rea r yard.

Case. No. C15-2020-0082 Based on our new survey, we have reduced our request for maximum impervious cover from 53% to 52.2% (45% required), and we have reduced our request for the minimum side setback from 4.4' (6.5-inch encroachment) to 4.5' (6-inch encroachment) (5' required). We also have additional letters of support. In addition to the letter from the neighbor to the rear of the Property, we also now have letters of support from the adjacent neighbors on both sides of the Property, as well as from the Judges Hill Neighborhood Association. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to meeting with you soon.

Re: Letter of Support for Variance Request for Adjacent Property at 908 W. 18th Street Dear Board Members: I own the residential property adjacent to the east of Doug and Jana Harker’s property and support the requested variances to preserve their existing impervious cover, home, and patio. The property makes sense for our neighborhood as-is and we do not want them to be required to do any demolition. I hope that you approve the variances and appreciate your consideration.

Texas 7871'i_ The Board of Adjustment c/o Elaine Ramirez Planner Senior and Board of Adjustment Liaison City of Austin Development Services Department Re: Letter of Support for Variance Request for Adjacent Property at 908 W. 18th Street Dear Board Members: I own and reside at the residential property adjacent to the west of Doug and Jana Harker's property and support the variances to preserve their existing impervious cover, home, and patio. as well as the shared drive. Their property is consistent with the area's character and should be allowed stax as-is without any demolition work. I also prefer it be left so as the direct neighbor we are not subjected to the noise and structural damage of the jackhammering that would be required to remove it. The street repair for my water main & the demo of the house 3 doors down caused significant vibration and cracking of sheetrock. Please do not subject us to unnecessary demolitions. Thank you for your consideration.
