My client's intention is to construct a new single-family residence at 1305 West 42nd Street. But the property is not a platted lot. As such, we need an exemption from platting to receive a building permit. We cannot currently receive an exemption from platting because: (1) (2) The property was first conveyed in its current configuration after the property became subject to the City of Austin's jurisdiction over the subdivision of land; and, The property does not meet the minimum lot width requirement for its zoning district (SF-3). (The property is not in a neighborhood planning area that has adopted Small Lot Amnesty; therefore, the minimum lot width requirement is 50'—but our property is only 48' wide.) Per LDC 25-4-2, D, (5), we can receive an exemption from platting if the Board of Adjustment grants a variance from minimum lot width requirements. With such a variance, we can receive a building permit. Without such a variance...this lot is unbuildable. We hereby request a variance.

When my client bought the property the garage was in substandard condition and the house, while repairable, was not repairable without significant damage to the eastern neighbor's protected 29" pecan tree. In 2020 the garage was demolished and the residence was donated to charity and relocated from the site.

While the proposed new house would contain more gross floor area and would require more impervious cover than the previous residence, it would result in less impact on the eastern neighbor's protected 29" pecan tree. All required parking would be contained within the two-car garage onsite, and there would be two additional parking spaces provided in the driveway.

While the RNA was not able to address our request in a meeting, I did receive some questions from RNA members, which I attempted to address. Outreach to neighbors has been completed, and results have been submitted to the City. This document is issued under the s e a l o f W I L L I A M L A W R E N C E HODGE, Texas architect #19074.

C O M 5 D-1/5-PRESENTATION In conclusion: (1) The zoning regulations pertaining to this property do not allow for a reasonable use of the property because: The property does not meet minimum lot width requirements; the property is not an officially substandard lot; and, the property was conveyed after the City assumed jurisdiction over subdivision requirements, thus rendering the property ineligible for an exemption from platting—and thus rendering the property incapable of receiving any use whatsoever—without a variance. (2) The hardship is unique to the property because: The property is the only property in its vicinity that has been denied an exemption from platting due to noncompliance with minimum lot width requirements, and the property is the only property that has been denied approval for construction due to a lack of an exemption from platting. (3) The hardship is not general to the area for the same reasons as listed in (2). (4) The construction for which the requested variance is needed will consist of the same use as what previously existed on the site; it will result in a reduced impact on the neighbor's protected pecan tree; and it will not impose nor encourage off-site parking because all required parking (and additional parking) will be provided onsite. We respectfully request that the Board grants our variance. This document is issued under the s e a l o f W I L L I A M L A W R E N C E HODGE, Texas architect #19074.
