I am seeking a variance to reduce the minimum lot ____________________________________________________________________________ width requirement for the subject property from 50' (per 25-2-492, Table [D]) to 48' (as ____________________________________________________________________________ surveyed) so as to construct a single-family residence. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Section 2: Variance Findings the property does not meet minimum lot width requirements for its zoning district and the ____________________________________________________________________________ property is not a legal lot but rather the result of an unplatted land division that occurred after ____________________________________________________________________________ the City acquired jurisdiction over subdivisions in this area, thus rendering the property ineligible for an exemption from platting without a variance. State law requires an exemption from platting ____________________________________________________________________________ for construction to be approved; without such an exemption, no use of any sort is permissible ____________________________________________________________________________ on the property whatsoever. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ a) b) The subject tract is the only tract of its width in the vicinity that has been denied an exemption ____________________________________________________________________________ from platting for lack of sufficient roadway frontage (other tracts in this vicinity have been ____________________________________________________________________________ granted exemptions from platting because they were deeded prior to the March 14, 1946 grandfather date for compliance with subdivision requirements); and, the subject tract is the ____________________________________________________________________________ only unplatted tract in the vicinity for which construction was not approved due to the lack of a ____________________________________________________________________________ land status determination (an unplatted property on an adjacent street was permitted for construction despite the lack of a formal exemption from platting). ____________________________________________________________________________ The subject tract is the only tract of its width in the vicinity that has been denied an exemption ____________________________________________________________________________ from platting for lack of sufficient roadway frontage (other tracts in this vicinity have been granted exemptions from platting because they were deeded prior to the March 14, 1946 ____________________________________________________________________________ grandfather date for compliance with subdivision requirements); and, the subject tract is the ____________________________________________________________________________ only unplatted tract in the vicinity for which construction was not approved due to the lack of a ____________________________________________________________________________ land status determination (an unplatted property on an adjacent street was permitted for construction despite the lack of a formal exemption from platting). ____________________________________________________________________________ | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application 6/26/20 | Page 5 of 8 D-1/4____________________________________________________________________________ The property once contained a single-family home and it is proposed to once again contain a ____________________________________________________________________________ single-family home (i.e., there will be no increase in density); the impact on the critical root zone ____________________________________________________________________________ of the eastern neighbor's 29" pecan tree will not be increased; and, all required parking for our ____________________________________________________________________________ proposed residence will be contained within a two-car garage onsite. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ - - 1. 2. 3. 4. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application 6/26/20 | Page 6 of 8 D-1/5Section 3: Applicant Certificate ____________________________________________ _____________ 06/10/2021 ___________________________________________________ William Hodge AIA __________________________________________________________ 3410 Dalton Street ________________________________________ Austin ________________ Texas _______ 78745 ____________________________________________________ (512) 786-9298 _____________________ Section 4: Owner Certificate ______________________________________________ _____________ 06/10/2021 ______________________________________________________ Martha-Cary Sadler, Malicca Homes LLC ____________________________________________________________ 807 Leonard Street ________________________________________ Austin ________________ Texas _______ 78705 ____________________________________________________ ____________________________________________ Section 5: Agent Information ____________________________________________________________________ William Hodge AIA ____________________________________________________________ 3410 Dalton Street ________________________________________ Austin ________________ Texas _______ 78745 ____________________________________________________ (512) 786-9298 _________________ Section 6: Additional Space (if applicable) _______________________________________________________________________________ (1) This variance is required for two reasons: (a) to obtain a land status determination exempting _______________________________________________________________________________ the subject property from the requirement to plat; and, (b) to obtain approval to erect a single-family _______________________________________________________________________________ structure on the subject property. (2) The property once contained a single-family residence and _______________________________________________________________________________ detached garage. (3) Both the previous single-family residence and detached garage were | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application 6/26/20 | Page 7 of 8 D-1/6noncomplying with 25-2-492: the previous single-family residence violated the 25' minimum front _______________________________________________________________________________ setback requirement for SF-3 zoning, and the detached garage violated the 5' minimum interior _______________________________________________________________________________ side setback requirement for SF-3 zoning. (4) On the property abutting the subject property to the east is a 29"-trunk-diameter pecan tree. This is a heritage-level protected tree. A large portion of _______________________________________________________________________________ this tree's critical root zone is within the subject property. Tree protection regulations restrict impact _______________________________________________________________________________ (disturbance of ground plane) within the critical root zone of a protected tree to 50% of critical-root-zone area. The combination of the structures on the adjacent property plus the _______________________________________________________________________________ previous single-family residence on the subject property added up to 57.9%. The required _______________________________________________________________________________ foundation repairs to the previous single-family residence would have resulted in a further _______________________________________________________________________________ disturbance of the critical root zone in question. (5) As a result of [3] and [4] above, the property owner sought permits to relocate the previous single-family residence and detached garage. Said _______________________________________________________________________________ permits were obtained prior to the denial of an exemption from platting, a denial which hinged on _______________________________________________________________________________ the width of the subject property. (6) The proposed single-family residence for which this variance is being sought has been designed to respect the eastern neighbor's heritage tree. Of the portion of _______________________________________________________________________________ the proposed structure that is within said tree's critical root zone, only a small corner has a height of _______________________________________________________________________________ two stories; the remainder is one story. Also, whereas the previous impact to the neighbor's heritage tree was 57.9%, above the 50% maximum imposed by ordinance, our proposed _______________________________________________________________________________ development would result in a total critical-root-zone impact of 46.3%, below the 50% maximum _______________________________________________________________________________ imposed by ordinance. While a building permit has not yet been obtained, the tree-ordinance _______________________________________________________________________________ reviewer assigned to this property has given emailed assent to the critical root zone impact we propose. (7) The proposed FAR is 33.86, below the maximum of 40 and lower than other _______________________________________________________________________________ recently-built residences on the block. Exhibits have been attached to this application to further _______________________________________________________________________________ illustrate and clarify the points above. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application 6/26/20 | Page 8 of 8 D-1/7D-1/8City of Austin Development Services Department Land Status Determination Not Eligible for Platting Exception June 01, 2021 File Number: C8I-2021-0210 Address: 1305 W 42ND ST Tax Parcel I.D. # 0221020306 Tax Map Date: 05/27/2021 The Development Services Department has determined that the property as described in the following description and map: Is a tract of land that is the west 48 feet of the east 144 feet of the north 140 feet of Block 8, of the Lewis Hancock 20 acre tract subdivision and does not meet the requirements of the land development code for roadway frontage, and is therefore, NOT ELIGIBLE to receive utility service.
