Therefore, you must complete each of the applicable Findings Statements as part of your application. Failure to do so may result in your application being rejected as incomplete. Please attach any additional supporting documents. NOTE: The Board cannot grant a variance that would provide the applicant with a special privilege not enjoyed by others similarly situated or potentially similarly situated. I contend that my entitlement to the requested variance is based on the following findings: Reasonable Use The zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: The lot is substandard. It is less than 1 acre and does not meet the standards prescribed by ____________________________________________________________________________ Lake Austin zoning requirements. This limits the property owners ability to reasonably use the ____________________________________________________________________________ site to the highest and best use as contemplated by the original plat and subsequent "A" and " ____________________________________________________________________________ LA" zoning categories applied by the City of Austin. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Hardship a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: The applicant respectfully requests the board acknowledge the hardships in place as a result of ____________________________________________________________________________ the lot size, City initiated rezoning, existing front setback encroachment acknowledgement via ____________________________________________________________________________ approved building permits over a 30 year period, and the need to perform a substantial remodel ____________________________________________________________________________ on a 1988 era structure. Compliance with existing 40 foot setback requires either full or partial ____________________________________________________________________________ demolition of the existing residence. ____________________________________________________________________________ b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: The site was issued a multitude of development permit approvals, exacerbating ongoing ____________________________________________________________________________ remodels for a noncomplying structure. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ City of Austin | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application | Page 5 of 8 D-4/3Area Character The variance will not alter the character of the area adjacent to the property, will not impair the use of adjacent conforming property, and will not impair the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: Zero known adverse impact on any adjacent property whether it be near or far from this site. ____________________________________________________________________________ The reduction in impervious cover from 50% to 35% is a benefit not only to the environment but ____________________________________________________________________________ also alleviates any potential drainage concerns which may or may not have been an issue over ____________________________________________________________________________ the years (we are not aware of any drainage issues).. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ Parking (additional criteria for parking variances only) Request for a parking variance requires the Board to make additional findings. The Board may grant a variance to a regulation prescribed in the City of Austin Land Development Code Chapter 25-6, Appendix A with respect to the number of off-street parking spaces or loading facilities required if it makes findings of fact that the following additional circumstances also apply: 1. Neither present nor anticipated future traffic volumes generated by the use of the site or the uses of sites in the vicinity reasonably require strict or literal interpretation and enforcement of the specific regulation because: N/A ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 2. The granting of this variance will not result in the parking or loading of vehicles on public streets in such a manner as to interfere with the free flow of traffic of the streets because: N/A ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 3. The granting of this variance will not create a safety hazard or any other condition inconsistent with the objectives of this Ordinance because: N/A ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ 4. The variance will run with the use or uses to which it pertains and shall not run with the site because: N/A ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ City of Austin | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application | Page 6 of 8 D-4/4Section 3: Applicant Certificate I affirm that my statements contained in the complete application are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

Below is a description of our proposed 2 year tree care plan to ensure trees have the best opportunity for a healthy recovery from construction. Year one: ( Will begin immediately) Initial Treatment Pre Construction: Incorporate organic material into the soil by fracturing the soil via an Air Spade. This reduces soil compaction and increases water movement. This will be performed in wedge shape section in the 1/2 critical root zones. Deep Root Treatment: Apply a mixture of slow released (low nitrogen) fertilizer, micro/macro nutrient pack, and PHC MycorTree Injectable via soil injection for the full critical root zone. There will be 2 treatments per year 6 months apart. Light pruning to remove deadwood sucker and crossing branches to insure proper growth and health of the tree. These trees will be inspected quarterly by a certified arborist to insure the trees are reaching the optimal health and growth.

There will be 2 treatments per year 6 months apart. Quarterly checks by certified arborist. Colby Green Owner of Green Leaf Arbor Care 512-720-2733 Tx-4236A D-4/39D-4/40
