We are proposing to maintain the existing structure on the property as the ADU and to build a new principal structure, minimum of 10 feet to the rear. LDC 25-2-774.c.2.a - would require significant modifcation/demolition of the existing structure in order to add an ADU to the rear of the structure and increase the size of the primary structure. Building a new primary structure in the front and a new ADU to the rear would eliminate an excellent example of 1940s architecture. Furthermore, eliminating this structure would conflict with the Central East Austin Neighborhood Strategies, specifically Neighborhood Conservation Strategies which emphasize existing housing maintanence as well as increases in existing housing stock through infill construction (see attached excerpt from Neighborhood Plan). The property has one of the few original 1941 bungalows still in good repair in the neighborhood. Maintaining this structure limits the owner's ability to expand the dwelling size on the property and the ADU placement regulations would require the the owner to remove and/or heavy modify the exisitng structure to add additional liveable square footage. Most of the lots in this area have already demolished the original buildings from the 1940s and are thus not restricted from building larger structures and/or additional units on the property. E-2/5This variance is requesting that the ADU and Principal structure be swapped with relation to the front lot line. This will help to maintain the neighborhood character as we are proposing that the existing 1941 bungalow be retained. The structure is a single story, 864sf bungalow which meets the ADU requirements (15% of lot size and a second story less than 550sf) E-2/6Austin TX 78702 Lucas I Schlager 1907 E 9th St 631 488 0586 04 April 2022 04 April 2022 Austin TX 78702 Lucas I Schlager 1907 E 9th St 631 488 0586 Jason Fryer 909 e 56th st Austin TX 78751 Neighborhood is in support of maintaining the existing bungalow and allowing a new principal structure to be constructed at the rear of the property.
