He won’t need a variance for either a decrease in minimum lot width or lot size because he has an approved Land Status Determination. Now that his property has legal lot status, Subdivision Review is no longer involved and it will be up to someone else to determine whether any other types of variances might be needed.

It sounds like per Joey’s e- mail, Nathan will still need a variance for the lot width requirements (which he has on his variance request already) Nathan is also requesting a variance from 25-2-947 (Nonconforming Use Regulation Groups) (B) (2) to increase the improvement value from 20% to 60%. Nathan needs to know as well as I if he still needs a variance for this portion and if any additional variances are required for him to continue with his plan review?

Nathan’s property is subject to SF-3 zoning which requires a minimum lot size of 5,750 sqft and his property is 5,697.49 sqft in size. Additionally, his property doesn’t have Small Lot Amnesty, so it would appear that he’ll still need a BOA variance for a decrease in minimum lot size. As for the rest, I’ll have to defer to Residential Review for their opinion.

Either way a refund will not be issued as this has already been worked on by all City Depts. involved, Notices sent out and gone before the BOA Board. There 3 different terms for variances: G-1/15“Pulled” – This is when a case has been submitted but Notices have not yet been sent out (no addtl. fee involved with this one), meaning you can remove the case from a BOA mtg. date as many times as you want to a future BOA mtg. date without a fee charge. You can also modify the application as many times as you want without a fee charge as long as the Notice has not been sent out. “Postpone” – This is when a case has been submitted, Notices sent out (fee will incur, if Notice has to be re-sent and/or if postponed for more than 60 days out), an applicant can ONLY request one postponement. (Paid fee is non-refundable) “Withdraw” – This is when an applicant, agent, and/or owner decides they want to completely remove the case and no longer proceed with the variance request thru the Board. (Paid fee is non- refundable unless withdrawn within a day or two from original application submittal deadline) Respectfully, Elaine Ramirez Planner Senior / Board of Adjustment Liaison City of Austin Development Services Department 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Dr, Austin, Texas 78752 Office: 512-974-2202 PER CITY ORDINANCE: All individuals scheduling or accepting a meeting invitation with a City Official are requested to provide responses to the questions at the following link: DSD Visitor Log.

Both of these properties have had their crawl spaces inundated with water during severe rain in past years. Therefore, the issue of increased impervious cover and implications for future flooding is of utmost importance to me. The subject property, at 4315 Avenue A, is "upstream" from my properties. Increasing impervious cover at 4315 Avenue A, as implied by the variance request, will tend to worsen the flooding that my properties experience. For these reasons, I request that the Board of Adjustment deny the variance request. Thank you, Ross Baldick CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
