Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association President: Alex Finnell – – 512.773.3379 February 3rd, 2021 To: City of Austin Board of Adjustment RE: C15-2020-0067 Address: 1112 Harvard Street Owner: Michael & Jeanette Abbink From: Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association Subject: Letter of Support for Variance from LDC to reduce required on-site parking spaces to zero. Please note that on January 28th, 2021, the Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association voted unanimously in favor of supporting Michael & Jeanette’s variance request from the Land Development Code to reduce the number of required on-site parking spaces to zero. Michael & Jeanette Abbink and their architect Ernesto Cragnolino of Alterstudio presented their intent to use the property at 1112 Harvard Street as an accessory studio to their planned home on the adjacent lot at 2414 East 11th Street. With the assurance that there would be no vehicular access to this subject property and that all visitor access would be from the adjacent property, the neighborhood’s concerns about removing on-site parking were adequately addressed. As Harvard Street is quite narrow, curved, and bound by extreme topography, in this particular and unique case removing on-site parking and removing access from the street should actually improve safety conditions. Sincerely, Alex Finnell President, Blackshear Prospect Hill Neighborhood Association 512.773.3379 G-2/1-LATE BACKUP
