Variance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Context: Street-Front Homes 1311 Singleton (1420 sf / 907 sf) 1309 Singleton (1,464) 1307 Singleton (1533 sf / 866 sf) 1305 Singleton (728 sf) 1303 Singleton (--) 1301 Singleton (--) 1 3 1 1 1 3 0 9 1 3 0 7 1 3 0 5 1 3 0 3 1 3 0 1 D-2/10-PRESENTATIONVariance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Context: 2-Story Alley Development 1305 Singleton is surrounded by examples of substantial 2-story “sedondary units” built on the alley. We point this out to demonstrate that the “side or rear” “sedondary unit” rule does not result in smaller massing on the alley. There are 11 properties on the alley adjacent to 1305 Singleton and 7 of them include a second 2-story structure on the ally lot-line. Adjacent to 1305 Singleton are two examples of this at 1307 Singleton and 1304 Cedar. Contructing the “primary residence” at the back of the property does not diminish the character of the alley and does not disturb the current massing. Furthermore, the existence of the alley buffers the proposed primary structure from adjacent properties. 5 1 2 3 1 3 0 5 S I N G L E T O N 6 7 4 2 6 1 5 4 3 7 D-2/11-PRESENTATIONVariance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Plan Support D-2/12-PRESENTATIONVariance Request: 1305 Singleton Neighborhood Association Support City of Austin Board of Adjustment June 10, 2022 Dear Board Members.

Its one-story scale and original detailing are part of the neighborhood’s historic fabric and serves to enhance the historic integrity of the streetscape. We are in favor of the applicants’ proposal to construct a larger dwelling at the rear, rather than demolish the historic-aged home. While it may not qualify as a historic landmark, its preservation is important to reflect the neighborhood’s historic context, and the applicants’ decision to preserve rather than demolish proves a hardship in Austin’s current real estate market. 1305 Singleton Ave Good morning, Best, Kalan Contreras MSHP | Senior Planner | Historic Preservation Office Planning and Zoning Department 512.974.2727 | kalan.contreras@austintexas.gov Kalan Contreras MSHP | Senior Planner | Historic Preservation Office Planning and Zoning Department 512.974.2727 | kalan.contreras@austintexas.gov 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: https://bit.ly/HPDLobbyingForm Please note that all information provided is subject to public disclosure.
