D-5/2 5409 Avenue H, Austin, Texas 78751 The Highlands Lot 23 (and Lot 24) NA SF-3-NP Eric and Melissa Puga 31 NA Select Select Select Residential Home D-5/3 I am requesting a variance from the Land Development Code Chapter 25 § 2.1. - MAXIMUM DEVELOPMENT PERMITTED for a SF-3-NP residential property to increase the maximum FAR from 40% to 43.31% maximum gross floor area. We are seeking a variance for an additional 207 square feet beyond our 40% FAR to add onto our family residence. The variance is being requested to enable our family beneficial use of our home in a reasonably sized space for a family of 5. We currently do not have a bedroom for all of our children, one of the bedrooms is also used to access the backyard, and our current home is just over 1,100 square feet. We are very limited in space for day to day living. The addition we are seeking will increase our home to a total of approximately 1,400 square feet. The current property includes a garage apartment, which was built prior to our family buying the residence 12 years ago. The apartment provides necessary income for our two educator family, which allows us to stay in the neighborhood to raise our children, yet it has impacted our FAR in that we cannot increase our home to accomodate our family's day to day activities. We are seeking to build a single floor addition that will include an additional bedroom. The aforementioned garage apartment is unique to this property as it was built prior to our family buying the home, it has a substantial impact on our FAR. The cost of living has increased in such a way that our family cannot afford to purchase a larger home in the Austin area, and we also rely on the income from the garage apartment to supplement our property taxes. We are family of five and would like to continue to raise our children in the neighborhood they have lived in their entire lives. D-5/4 The front elevation of our home will remain intact and we are preserving our original 1951 pier and beam foundation and design. The addition will only impact a portion of the backyard and will not be viewable from the street. All neighbors who live adjacent to the property, across the street, as well as down the block on both sides have signed a petition of support. Due to an alley behind our property, we do not share any fence lines or space with back neighbors. They will remain unimpacted.
