If the variance is granted, the new owners will preserve the existing home and build an ADU - on the Drake side. The owner is requesting a variance from the current 25’ front setback on Drake to a 5’ foot setback. The neighbors are in favor and this is the trend along Drake for this type of lot. SRCC P&Z recommends that we support this variance. The variance meeting with the Board of Adjustment is May 10, 2021.

The next SRCC Executive Committee meeting is tentatively scheduled for Tuesday, June 1, 2021. Agenda Prepared by Megan Spencer, v D-3/2-LATE BACKUPDan Fredine to me, Megan, Russell Mark and others, 8:26 AM (30 minutes ago) While the SRCC Executive Committee did vote to support the variance, we typically do not write letters or promote the outcome of Executive Committee votes as the membership's position. That is typically done after a vote of the full General Membership. However, on some time-sensitive issues (where we don't have time to get a vote at a General Membership meeting) that are deemed non-contentious, we allow the Executive Committee vote to stand alone. I don't know the position that was taken on this item - whether it needs to go to the General Membership prior to writing a letter or stating SRCC's position. Hopefully Megan and Russell can weigh in on that. Thanks, Dan Dan Fredine Secretary South River City Citizens NA D-3/3-LATE BACKUPD-3/4-LATE BACKUPT o : F r o m : D a t e : S u b j e c t : R a m i r e z , E a n e i l i R o b n S a n d e r s M o n d a y , M a y 0 3 , 2 0 2 1 1 : 5 9 : 0 7 P M O b j e c t i o n i n C a s e # : C 1 5 - 2 0 2 1 - 0 0 3 2 S e n t f r o m m y i P h o n e * * * E x t e r n a l E m a i l - E x e r c i s e C a u t i o n * * * e m a i l , p l e a s e f o r w a r d t h i s e m a i l t o c y b e r s e c u r i t y @ a u s t i n t e x a s . g o v .

It may set a precedent for other Through Lots on this narrow, already crowded street, giving it the appearance of an alley.
