See also Section 6. ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________ a) b) The lot is irregularly shaped and contains several large heritage & protected trees, an existing home and driveway, as ____________________________________________________________________________ well as steep topography which constrains the placement of a garage/guest house to a very limited area. The ____________________________________________________________________________ subdivision was planned with restrictions requiring residences to front on Sweetbrush Dr and specifically calling out ____________________________________________________________________________ a 10 foot rear setback from Matthews Dr. Matthews Dr is a "substandard roadway" that does not meet the City's ____________________________________________________________________________ design criteria for a local access street. Applying LDC Section 25-2-515 (Rear Yard of Through Lot) would constrain a ____________________________________________________________________________ garage/guest house to a design that is not harmonious with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. Lot 13 is the only lot between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr with an existing residence located greater than 35 feet ____________________________________________________________________________ from the front property boundary (subject property is set back 72 feet), with existing driveway access from ____________________________________________________________________________ Sweetbrush Dr, and with steep topography (greater than 12 feet of elevation change) along Matthews Dr. However, ____________________________________________________________________________ Lot 13 is the only lot between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr without an allowable 10 foot setback from Matthews ____________________________________________________________________________ Dr. No other lots in this subdivision are shaped like Lot 13 nor do other lots contain the same combination of ____________________________________________________________________________ existing improvements, heritage or protected trees, and topography. Applying LDC Section 25-2-515 (Rear Yard of Through Lot) denies this property the 10 foot setback enjoyed by similar properties in the same zoning district. | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application | Page 5 of 8 ITEM5/3Multiple surrounding properties contain structures nearer than 25 feet to Matthews Dr. The requested variance is ____________________________________________________________________________ consistent with existing established residences in the area that were constructed close to the "substandard" Matthews ____________________________________________________________________________ Dr (which does not meet City standards for a local access street and is perceived as an alley). The subdivision was ____________________________________________________________________________ originally planned with a 10 foot setback from Matthews Dr because residences are required to front on Sweetbrush ____________________________________________________________________________ Dr. The area is known for mature shade trees and tree preservation is a key objective of the Combined West Austin Neighborhood Plan. The City’s interpretation of this property being a through lot (having a 25 foot rear setback) would ____________________________________________________________________________ constrain a garage/guest house, which is legally allowed to be constructed on this lot, to a design which is not ____________________________________________________________________________ harmonious with the neighborhood.

Cuppett 3904 Medical Pkwy, Suite C 512-450-0820 (See next page) ITEM5/5Reasonable Use (continued): _______________________________________________________________________________ Lot 13 is an irregularly shaped lot platted in 1968 with restrictions that require residences to front Sweetbrush Dr. and _______________________________________________________________________________ establishes a 10 foot rear setback from Matthews Dr. The Subdivision and Restrictions were recorded in 1955 after the _______________________________________________________________________________ City formally vacated a 25 foot wide portion of ROW from Matthews Dr by City Council Ordinance #19510927-A in 1951. _______________________________________________________________________________ During subdivision review, the City took measures to ensure that Matthews Dr would not become the "front" street for _______________________________________________________________________________ lots abutting Sweetbrush Dr, Matthews Dr, and Scenic Dr per April 1955 Subdivision Committee minutes. _______________________________________________________________________________ The property contains several mature, heritage and protected trees and steep topography. The property features an _______________________________________________________________________________ existing residence (ca.1969) set back deep into the lot (72 feet) that faces Sweetbrush Dr with existing driveway access _______________________________________________________________________________ from Sweetbrush Dr. The existing residence and driveway are situated in such a way that constrains placement of a _______________________________________________________________________________ garage/guest house to a very limited area that is further constrained by the Critical Root Zones for several protected _______________________________________________________________________________ trees. Additionally, garage placement rules (LDC 25-2-1604) apply restrictions to an additional ±24% of the site area due _______________________________________________________________________________ to the unique placement and orientation of the existing residence and the irregular shape of the lot. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Zoning code allows for a garage/guest house to be constructed on this property. The City’s interpretation of a 25 foot _______________________________________________________________________________ rear setback, rather than a typical 10 foot rear yard setback, prevents constructing a garage/guest house that would _______________________________________________________________________________ otherwise be allowed on this property and would deprive the property owner of benefits enjoyed by other similar properties within the same zoning district. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Multiple properties along this stretch of Matthews Dr contain structures closer than 25 feet to Matthews Dr. The City has _______________________________________________________________________________ previously approved building plot plans reflecting fifteen (15) foot building line from Matthews Dr, and has previously _______________________________________________________________________________ approved multiple building permits for similar properties abutting this section of Matthews Dr with a 10 foot setback. _______________________________________________________________________________ Matthews Dr is a "substandard roadway" and the residence cannot legally front on Matthews Dr as well as being originally _______________________________________________________________________________ planned with a 10 foot rear setback. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ The City's interpretation of this lot being a through lot with a 25 foot rear setback would constrain the garage/guest house _______________________________________________________________________________ to a design that is not harmonious with surrounding properties. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ Area Character (continued): _______________________________________________________________________________ The neighborhood group has expressed support for establishing a common front & rear street for lots considered _______________________________________________________________________________ through-lots in order to achieve consistent residence & garage placement and to avoid having residences on the same _______________________________________________________________________________ side of the block fronting on different streets. A variance allowing a 10 foot rear setback at the adjacent Lot 2A (2404 _______________________________________________________________________________ Sweetbrush Dr) was approved in 2019. A 10 foot setback from Matthews Dr at Lot 13 would match the approved 10 foot _______________________________________________________________________________ setback at 2404 Sweetbrush Dr as well as being compatible with other properties containint structures nearer than 15 feet _______________________________________________________________________________ to Matthews Dr. No other properties in this subdivision contain a garage / guest house in the front yard. _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________ | Board of Adjustment General/Parking Variance Application | Page 8 of 8 ITEM5/6ITEM5/7TRACT II 0.044 AC.

Liaison, Development Services Department City of Austin - Development Services Department 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 Re: Variance Request at 2406 Sweetbrush Dr, Austin, Texas 78703 Introduction & Background I. (Brief) Goals: Zoning: Variance: • Garage, Guest House, and/or addition to the existing home, to address growing needs • Enclosed parking for 2 vehicles (at basement level) with living space above • Preserve heritage trees, existing residence & access from Sweetbrush Dr • No closer to front yard than existing residence; complement site & neighborhood context • City initially stated 15 foot setback during DSD Consultation in May, citing approved permits • City later stated 25 foot setback during subsequent DSD Preliminary Plan Review in June • City suggested a variance was required • Requesting a 10 foot setback (typical for rear yard in SF-3 district) adjacent to Matthews Dr • No increase to allowable impervious or building cover, FAR or building height • 25 foot setback adjacent to Matthews Dr constrains the garage/guest house to a design which is not sensitive to the site, harmonious with neighborhood context or objectives of the neighborhood plan • Applying for variance prior to submitting architectural plans for building permit • Engaged surrounding neighbors and received strong support Site, History, Context: Irregularly shaped lot; front property boundary is an arc; steep topography • Numerous heritage & protected shade trees • • Existing residence located deep within the lot (triggers a 72 foot front setback for garage) • Existing driveway on Sweetbrush Dr; No access from Matthews Dr • Sweetbrush Subdivision (1955) restrictions established a 10ft rear setback from Matthews Dr and required homes to front on Sweetbrush Dr • City vacated 25 feet of Matthews Dr ROW in 1951 (reduced from 50 feet to 25 feet) • Matthews Dr is unclassified (does not meet min. criteria for local access street) • Multiple properties along this segment of Matthews Dr have structures within 25 feet (Expanded) Earlier this year, Justin & Joy Hirsch began looking into building a garage/guest house, or addition to their existing home, to address their family’s growing needs. The additional space would provide enclosed parking for their 2 vehicles (at the basement level) and living space above the garage (at main floor level). The Hirsch’s want to preserve the site’s numerous mature shade trees, the existing residence with access from Sweetbrush Dr, and the limited view of Lake Austin. The CKA Page 1 of 5 ITEM5/13C15-2022-0082 garage/guest house will be appropriately scaled and detailed to be sensitive to the site, existing structures, and surrounding context. Due to the constraints, the only practical location for a garage/guest house is a limited area to the West of the existing residence. During preliminary planning, the Hirsch’s architect sought guidance on zoning regulations applicable to this property from the City of Austin (COA) Development Services Department (DSD) during a consultation on 5/26/2022 when City Staff advised that the setback adjacent to Matthews Dr would be 15 feet, citing previously approved building permits at this property. Relying upon this information, the Hirsch’s architect proceeded to develop conceptual site layouts based on the City’s guidance. However, during a subsequent Preliminary Plan Review (PPR) conducted on 6/30/2022, City Staff revised its interpretation of the rear setback to now be 25 feet citing “through-lot” rules (Exhibit A). When asked to verify this new interpretation for the rear setback in light of the original subdivision planning, vacated ROW and substandard roadway (Matthews Dr), previously approved building permits, numerous mature shade trees, steep topography, and multiple nearby structures already built close to Matthews Dr, City Staff suggested that the Hirsch’s pursue a zoning variance. While the Hirsch’s had hoped to avoid requesting a variance, ultimately it became clear this was their only option. In an effort to respect the process and properly resolve conflicts effecting design, the Hirsch’s are requesting a variance prior to submitting architectural plans for building permit review. The Hirsch’s intend to achieve a solution that otherwise complies with zoning and building codes, and other applicable restrictions, but for the imposed 25 foot rear setback which is the basis for the variance request. The Hirsch’s initially planned to seek a hearing on the BoA October agenda, but decided to delay their application to allow communication and engagement with the neighbors and neighborhood association. An initial presentation was made to the West Austin Neighborhood Group during the general meeting held on 9/12/2022 and the Hirsch’s have received strong support from surrounding property owners. Further review of the history and records for this property, as well as the pattern established by development on nearby properties, revealed strong evidence to support a 10 foot rear yard setback adjacent to Matthews Dr, which is the typical rear yard setback for an SF-3 lot not considered to be a through-lot. Combined with the unique constraints of this property, a 25 foot rear setback prevents reasonable use by restricting the placement of a garage/guest house in the limited area where it would be most appropriate and complementary to the context. Resultantly, the Hirsch’s are requesting a variance from LDC Section 25-2-515 Rear Yard of Through Lot to decrease the setback adjacent to Matthews Dr from 25 feet to 10 feet. Granting this variance would allow placement of a garage/guest house in a manner that preserves large heritage and protected trees, accommodates steep topography, preserves the historic-aged residence and existing driveway, complies with garage placement rules that uniquely effect this irregularly shaped lot, complements development on surrounding properties, and conforms to the original planning and subdivision restrictions. The request is not seeking, nor would it result in, an increase to the allowable impervious cover, building cover, floor-to-area ratio, or building height. II. A variance may be granted if, because of special circumstances of a property, the strict application of the City of Austin Land Development Code regulations deprives the property owner of privileges Variance requirements CKA Page 2 of 5 ITEM5/14C15-2022-0082 Reasonable Use that are enjoyed by another person who owns property in the area that has the same zoning designation. A variance to a regulation may not grant special privileges that are inconsistent with the limitations on other properties in the area. III. (Brief) The property was planned with a restrictive covenant in 1955 that requires residences to front Sweetbrush Dr and specifically calls out a 25 foot front building line setback on Sweetbrush Dr and a 10 foot rear building setback on Matthews Dr; Matthews Dr ROW was decreased by City Council Ordinance in 1951 and today acts more like an alley; the lot contains numerous protected trees, steep topography, and uniquely situated existing residence all of which constrain the placement of a garage/guest house to a very limited area that would encroach on a 25 foot through-lot rear yard setback but not a standard 10 foot rear yard setback. (Expanded) Lot 13 is an irregularly shaped lot platted in 1968 with restrictions that require residences to front Sweetbrush Dr and establishes a 10 foot rear setback from Matthews Dr. In 1955, 25 feet of ROW width (used for Matthews Dr) was vacated by City Council Ordinance #19510927-A. Per April 1955 Subdivision Committee minutes, the committee took measures to ensure that Matthews Dr would not become the front street for residences abutting Sweetbrush Dr, Matthews Dr, or Scenic Dr. The subject property contains several heritage and protected trees and steep topography. The property features an existing residence (ca.1969) set back deep into the lot (72 feet) that faces Sweetbrush Dr with existing driveway access from Sweetbrush Dr. The existing residence, driveway, trees, and topography constrains placement of a garage/guest house to a very limited area. Additionally, garage placement rules (LDC 25-2-1604) apply restrictions to an additional ±24% of the site area due to the unique placement and orientation of the existing residence and the irregular shape of the lot. Zoning code allows for a garage/guest house to be constructed on this property. Combined with the unique constraints of the site, a 25 foot through-lot rear yard setback, rather than a typical 10 foot rear yard setback, prevents placement of a garage/guest house in the limited area where it would be most appropriate and harmonious with the neighborhood. Applying through-lot rules to this property deprives the property owner of benefits enjoyed by other similar properties within the same zoning district. The zoning regulations being applied to the property do not allow reasonable use because: 1. The subdivision was originally planned with restrictions (1645/376) (Exhibit B3) that: a. Requires residences to front Sweetbrush Dr. b. Establishes a 25 foot front building setback from Sweetbrush Dr. c. Establishes a 10 foot rear building setback from Matthews Dr. 2. The Sweetbrush Subdivision (7/118) (Exhibit B1), Sweetbrush Subdivision Section Two (38/30) (Exhibit B2) and Restrictive Covenant (1645/376) (Exhibit B3) were recorded after a portion of Matthews Dr ROW had been vacated by City Council Ordinance #19510927-A in 1951 (Exhibit B5). CKA Page 3 of 5 ITEM5/15C15-2022-0082 3. The City desired for residences along this segment of Matthews Dr to front on either Sweetbrush Dr or Scenic Dr, and for Matthews Dr to serve as rear access per April 1955 Subdivision Committee minutes (Exhibit B6). 4. Multiple properties along this stretch of Matthews Dr contain structures closer than 25 feet to Matthews Dr (Exhibit D). 5. The City has previously approved multiple building permits for properties abutting this section of Matthews Dr with 10 foot rear setback (Exhibits C2, C3, and G1 - G4). Reference to through-lot status could not be located in the permit history for this property. Hardship – Unique to the property IV. The lot is irregularly shaped and contains several large heritage & protected trees, an existing home and driveway, as well as steep topography which constrains the placement of a garage to a very limited area. The subdivision was planned with restrictions requiring residences to front on Sweetbrush Dr and specifically calling out a 10 foot rear setback from Matthews Dr. Matthews Dr is an unclassified roadway that does not meet the City's current design criteria for a local access street. Applying through-lot rules to this property would constrain a garage/guest house to a design that is not sympathetic to the unique features and environmental assets of the site. 1. The lot is irregularly shaped (Exhibit C1, B2). 2. The property contains multiple large heritage & protected trees and steep topography with as much as 12 feet of grade change adjacent to Matthews Dr (Exhibit C1). 3. The property contains an existing driveway on Sweetbrush Dr therefore a 2nd driveway on Matthews Dr is not allowed (Exhibit C1). 4. The property features an existing home situated in a way that limits placement of a garage/guest house to a limited area West of the existing residence (Exhibit E1). 5. Deed restriction (3426/1573) (Exhibit B4) increases the East side yard setback from 5 feet to 10 feet. 6. Restrictive Covenant (1645/376) (Exhibit B3) requires residences to front on Sweetbrush Dr and specifically calls out a 10 foot setback from Matthews Dr. 7. Matthews Dr is an unclassified roadway with 30 foot ROW that does not meet the criteria for a local access street. An old cattle guard still remains embedded in the pavement near the corner of Windsor Rd and Matthews Dr (Exhibit D & B5). Hardship – Not general to the area V. Lot 13 is the only lot between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr without an allowable 10 foot setback from Matthews Dr. Lot 13 is the only lot between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr with an existing residence located greater than 35 feet from the front property boundary (subject property is set back 72 feet) and with existing driveway access from Sweetbrush Dr. It’s the only lot with very steep topography (greater than 12 feet of elevation change) within the setback area along Matthews Dr. No other lots in this subdivision are shaped as unusual as Lot 13 nor do other lots contain the same combination of existing improvements, heritage and protected trees, and topography. Applying through-lot rules to this property would constrain a garage/guest house to a design that is not harmonious with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. CKA Page 4 of 5 ITEM5/16C15-2022-0082 1. Lot 13 is the only lot between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr without a 10 foot setback from Matthews Dr (Exhibits D, G1 - G4, H). Applying through-lot rules to Lot 13 denies the 10 foot setback enjoyed by similarly situated properties in the same zoning district. 2. Lot 13 is the only lot between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr with a driveway on Sweetbrush (Exhibit D). 3. 2406 Sweetbrush is the only home between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr situated more than 35 feet from the front lot line. 2406 Sweetbrush Dr is ±72 feet from the front lot line. 4. Lot 13 is the only lot between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr with greater than 12 feet of elevation change (i.e. topography) within 15 feet of Matthews Dr (Exhibit D). Area Character VI. (Brief) Multiple surrounding properties contain structures nearer than 25 feet to Matthews Dr. Granting the variance request would be compatible with other properties in the area, many of which contain structures nearer than 25 feet to Matthews Dr (which resembles an alley). The subdivision was originally planned with restrictions requiring residences to front on Sweetbrush Dr and specifically calls out a 10 foot setback from Matthews Dr. The area is known for mature shade trees and tree preservation is a key objective of the Combined West Austin Neighborhood Plan. Applying through- lot rules would constrain a garage/guest house to a design which is not harmonious with the character of the surrounding neighborhood and which conflicts with neighborhood plan objectives. (Expanded) The neighborhood group expressed a preference for establishing consistent front & rear streets for lots considered through-lots. A 10 foot rear setback (adjacent to Matthews Dr) at Lot 13 would match the 10 foot rear setback approved next door at 2404 Sweetbrush Dr, which also abuts Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr, as well as being compatible with other properties containing structures close to Matthews Dr. No other properties in this subdivision contain a garage/guest house in the front yard. Approval of this variance request 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, because: 1. See Exhibit J for letters from surrounding neighbors who support granting the variance. 2. Multiple surrounding properties with structures nearer than 25 ft to Matthews Dr (Exhibit D). 3. Subdivision was originally planned with a 10 ft rear setback from Matthews Dr (Exhibit B3). 4. Matthews Dr does not meet current standards for a local access street and is perceived as an alley. The West 25 feet of the original 50 foot wide ROW was vacated by Austin City Council in 1951 because the 50 foot strip of land “has never been opened, constructed, or maintained by the City of Austin as a public street…” (Ordinance 19510927-A). The City also acknowledged there is a doubt as to the legal status of this tract of land (Exhibit B5). 5. The area is known for mature shade trees and tree preservation is a key objective of the Combined West Austin Neighborhood Plan (Exhibit I). 6. Sweetbrush Dr is the established front street for these lots. The neighborhood group did not oppose establishing a 10 foot rear setback for a similarly situated lot (Exhibit H and full public record for Case #C15-2019-0025). 7. The rear setback at 2406 Sweetbrush Dr (subject property) should be the same as the 10 foot rear setback approved at 2404 Sweetbrush Dr (next door to subject property) because both properties are similarly situated (Exhibit H and D). CKA Page 5 of 5 ITEM5/17Brian Wills From: Sent: To: Subject: Mayfield, Alyssa Thursday, July 21, 2022 10:17 AM Brian Wills RE: 2406 Sweetbrush Dr - PPR Follow-up Brian, I spoke with the Residential Zoning Supervisor and they said the setback along Matthews is 25’. They spoke with Susan and she stated that she didn’t reject for the 15’ setback at the time because no work was being done in the area that would have been in the 25’ setback. Secondly the neighbor at 2404 Sweetbrush had to get a variance to have a 10’ setback in 2019. Thank you, Alyssa Mayfield, Assoc.

As I mentioned, we believe either a 10’ or 15’ setback would be appropriate considering: • City Staff stated during our DSD Consultation on 5/26/22 that the setback along Matthews Dr for this lot would be 15’ based on the setback shown on a previously approved building permit under case #2014-028218 PR. The 15’ setback was also subsequently reviewed and approved in a 2015 building permit for a pool and deck under case #2015-121802 PR. • The deed restrictions require residences to front on Sweetbrush Dr and establish a 10’ rear yard setback along Matthews Dr for the lots between Sweetbrush and Matthews. • Matthews Dr is not suitable for access to 2406 Sweetbrush. The property’s existing driveway on Sweetbrush will be maintainted. • Matthews Dr, with only 30’ ROW, is constructed and acts like an alley. Our research indicates that a 25’ wide portion of ROW for Matthews Dr was vacated by City Council action in 1951. • There are multiple other properties along this stretch of Matthews Dr with structures nearer than 25’ to Matthews Dr. I haven’t seen the provisions of 25-2-515 (Rear Yard of Through Lot) applied to a lot that cannot reasonably enjoy (or make use of) access from the secondary street. If you could point me to another example or two, it would be very enlightening. Please feel free to call to discuss.

I came in mostly empty handed for my initial consultation meeting with Anthony (no site layouts options) simply to hear what rules / regulations were applicable for this property. I asked if he could confirm that it would be a rear yard along Matthews Dr to which he responded that it would be 15’ setback based upon previously approved building permit under case# 2014-028218 PR (which he displayed on the screen during the meeting). He said he was confident 15’ setback was correct because that project was reviewed by Susan Barr, who he said is now a manager / supervisor with DSD. Also attached are the notes that I took from the walk-in consultation with Anthony.

I’m following up on the PPR for 2406 Sweetbrush Dr from last Thursday (6/30 at 3p), specifically in regards to the setback along Matthews Dr (which I think was the only outstanding question that arose). I wanted to share information we gathered that suggests a 25’ setback would not be appropriate along Matthews Dr at this property: 1. Matthews Dr resembles / functions as an alley between Windsor Rd and El Greco Cv and therefore should not be considered a “street” for purpose of 25-2-515 a. Matthew’s Dr 30’ ROW is significantly less than the ~50’ ROW that would otherwise be required for Level 1 street b. The roadway design changes dramatically North of Windsor Rd and South of El Greco Cv (See Exhibit 1 attached) i. ROW width is reduced (from 50’ down to 30’) ii. Pavement width is narrowed drastically (from ~25’ down to ~15’) iii. Curb-and-gutter is discontinued 3 C15-2022-0082Exhibit AITEM5/20c. Residents apparently disputed City’s assertion that Matthews Dr was a public street as far back as the 1950s 2. Deed restrictions (see Exhibit 2 attached) applicable to Sweetbrush subdivision a. Per restriction #4 residences shall front Sweetbrush Dr or Rockmoor Ave (i.e. residences are not allowed to front b. Per restriction #5 setback along Sweetbrush is 25’ c. Per restriction #8 setback along West line (along Matthews Dr) of Lots 1, 2, and 3 (adjacent properties) is 10’ d. Allowing a 10’ setback along Matthews Dr would be consistent with the character of the neighborhood and intended Matthews Dr) use / planning. 3. During development consultation on 5/26/22, City Staff stated that the Matthews Dr setback would be 15’ based on previously approved building permit applications (see Exhibit 3 attached). a. 2015-121802 PR – Pool and deck b. 2014-028218 PR – Addition / remodel c. 2008-079611 PR – Rebuild arbor and driveway. *Arbor exists closer than 15’ to Matthews Dr 4. Topography (see Exhibit 4 attached) at the frontage along Matthews Dr makes access from Matthews Dr impractical (if not impossible). a. +/-12ft of elevation change near the Westerly lot corner b. Even with a 25’ setback along Matthews Dr, a driveway pitch could be as steep as 37.5%, which is 150% (1.5x) c. Note: a driveway already exists on Sweetbrush Dr, which is not being abandoned, therefore a 2nd driveway would not steeper than 15% max. referenced in TCM be allowed by-right on Matthews Dr 5. The lot is irregularly shaped and uniquely situated such that applying the through-lot rules to this particular lot would overly burden this property and not allow for a reasonable use compared to other properties in light of the hardships that exist. For these reasons, we believe a 10’ setback along Matthews Dr is the correct setback and we hope you could agree with this reasoning. If you remember, we showed a site concept with an addition located about 15ft from the Matthews Dr property line, which we thought might work well given the constraints (setbacks, topography, trees, etc) we understood at the time. Looking forward to hearing back from you; feel free to give me a call to discuss.

Main principles and priorities of this plan are listed in this chapter. Additional information on neighborhood planning in the city can be found in this chapter or at http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/planning/ neighborhood/default.htm. CHAPTER STRUCTURE Each chapter in this plan addresses a major issue area: Land Use; Parks, Open Space and the Environment; Transportation and Community Life. Each chapter includes goals, objectives and recommendations that support the Vision Statement (page 9). The objectives are written in bold. Recommendations, which offer specific means for how the objective can be achieved, are beneath each objective. Under each recommendation is a symbol which shows who should help to implement the recommendation. Some recommendations, such as some of those in the Land Use chapter, will be implemented upon adoption of the plan. Other recommendations, such as those in the Community Life chapter, will be implemented by community members. The Neighborhood Plan Contact Teams will be the main organization responsible for coordinating with applicable City of Austin agencies, other government agencies, etc. to prioritize and implement the Central West Austin recommendations included in this plan (see the Taking Action chapter for more information). Finally, each chapter includes several callout boxes. These boxes focus on a specific chapter topic and often include background information. GUIDING PRINCIPLES This plan focuses on a few key principles that should guide growth in the neighborhood. These are universal principles found in other planning documents including Envision Central Texas and the Austin Tomorrow Plan. The principles are: preservation of neighborhood character, connectivity, and environmental conservation. These are themes that were identified by stakeholders throughout the planning process. CITY POLICIES AND PRIORITIES The City of Austin’s Neighborhood Planning program follows from decades of citizen initiatives to plan development in the City. These initiatives intended to establish planning that guides the form, location and characteristics of development in order to preserve the quality of life and character of existing neighborhoods. In 1979, the City Council adopted a comprehensive plan, the Austin Tomorrow 7 C15-2022-0082Exhibit IITEM5/82VISION STATEMENT Plan Summary A neighborhood plan vision statement reflects the shared interests of neighborhood stakeholders. The following vision statement was developed from comments collected from stakeholders during the planning process. Central West Austin is a mature, stable and diverse community that includes a collection of four predominantly single family neighborhoods supporting and supported by small-scale businesses, with tree-lined streets and local schools, history, and amenities, all of which are worthy of protection. The Central West Austin Neighborhood Plan shall preserve the existing character and integrity of single-family neighborhoods to reflect the historical nature and residential character of the neighborhood. The plan will address the needs of a diverse pedestrian, bicycle and kid friendly community by providing walkable streets, safe parks and attractive open spaces, and will promote a sustainable neighborhood with compatibly scaled and located neighborhood-serving commercial and civic areas, so as to maintain the neighborhood’s quality of life, avoid increasing traffic, preserve the mature tree canopy, protect creeks and the lakes, and prevent flooding. This vision will be achieved by accomplishing the following goals. Central West Austin 9 C15-2022-0082Exhibit IITEM5/83 Plan Summary LAND USE Preserve and protect the historic character and integrity of Central West Austin’s predominantly single-family neighborhoods, with their neighborhood- serving commercial centers, civic areas, safe parks, and attractive open spaces, so as to maintain the neighborhood’s quality of life, avoid increasing traffic, preserve the mature tree canopy, protect creeks and the lakes, and prevent flooding. Development of property as office, commercial, retail, multi-family, or civic uses should be in accordance with the Future Land Use Map, as informed by the Plan text, and should be appropriately oriented, scaled and buffered to protect the existing single-family homes from any intrusion and adverse effects from higher intensity uses. The future use of the Brackenridge Tract and the Austin State Supported Living Center property should take into account the impact of such use on the surrounding neighborhood, and if developed should be compatible with the existing single-family homes in the neighborhood. Buffering to protect the existing single-family homes in the neighborhood is also desired. TRANSPORTATION Support the livability, vitality, and safety of the Central West Austin neighborhood by providing streets that enhance its neighborhood character, encourage walking, bicycling, and transit use, and better serve its schools, library, parks and other key destinations. 10 Key Themes:  Do not widen streets;  Enforce speed limits;  Protect against cut-through traffic;  Control on-street parking; and  Maintain acceptable traffic service levels PARKS Preserve, connect and enhance existing parks and recreational areas and facilities in the Central West Austin Planning Area, as well as open space on large properties (e.g., Austin State School and the Brackenridge Tract) for the health, recreational and historical benefits they bring to the community. . Create opportunities for additional public open space such as trails, pocket parks, and landscaped traffic islands, as well as parks and recreational areas and facilities on large properties. ENVIRONMENT Central West Austin will encourage a healthy urban ecosystem that uses trees and appropriate vegetation to make the neighborhood pleasant and unique, improve environmental conditions, and connect its social and natural heritages. COMMUNITY LIFE Central West Austin will foster and improve life for all ages through community interaction. Central West Austin C15-2022-0082Exhibit IITEM5/84 Land Use Goal Statement and Introduction Preserve and protect the historic character and integrity of Central West Austin’s predominantly single-family neighborhoods, with their neighborhood-serving commercial centers, civic areas, safe parks, and attractive open spaces, so as to maintain the neighborhood’s quality of life, avoid increasing traffic, preserve the mature tree canopy, protect creeks and the lakes, and prevent flooding. Development of property as office, commercial, retail, multi- family, or civic uses should be in accordance with the Future Land Use Map, as informed by the Plan text, and should be appropriately oriented, scaled and buffered to protect the existing single-family homes from any intrusion and adverse effects from higher intensity uses. The future use of the Brackenridge Tract and the Austin State Supported Living Center property should take into account the impact of such use on the surrounding neighborhood, and if developed should be compatible with the existing single- family homes in the neighborhood. Buffering to protect the existing single-family homes in the neighborhood is also desired. The neighborhoods of Central West Austin are, by and large, stable and well- maintained residential districts, with pockets of businesses that serve the neighborhood and surrounding commu- nity. These neighborhoods are well- functioning, and their development pat- terns, character, and quality of life should be preserved now and into the future. On both sides of MoPac, stakeholders are concerned that new development or rede- velopment not increase traffic in the neighborhood. Stakeholders are supportive of promoting neighborhood niche services that fit into the scale of their commercial areas and serve the immediate commu- nity. Residents are also concerned about the loss of older, smaller houses to large, modern houses that many feel are out of scale and character with neighboring Central West Austin 41 C15-2022-0082Exhibit IITEM5/85Single-Family Residential design guidelines  Retain the design and character of the neighborhood’s residential areas by encouraging the preservation of existing structures. When redevelopment or remodeling of an existing structure occurs, it should be compatible in scale, height, setbacks, landscaping, tree cover, garage placement, façades, and architectural style of neighboring houses.  New development should be designed and constructed using the latest green technologies and principles embodied in Austin Energy’s Green Building program to help reduce energy consumption. Historic buildings should be preserved. Multi-Family & Commercial design guidelines  New and remodeled multi-family and commercial development should be compatible with the immediate neighborhood by having similar setbacks, building scale, façades, and rooftops. To contribute to the health of the neighborhood, new development should include landscaping that creates usable open space, trees that shade the structure and street, parking placed to the rear or side of the building, windows and doors that promote friendliness and “eyes on the street,” pedestrian amenities like light posts, and vegetative screening for air conditioners and dumpsters. It should also improve pedestrian and bicycle access between the property and immediate neighborhood wherever possible.  New development should be designed and constructed using the latest green technologies and principles embodied in Austin Energy’s Green Building program to help reduce energy consumption.  Historic buildings should be preserved. Land Use Chapter L.4.2 The triangle where 35th and 38th Streets split should be a welcoming gateway to the neighborhood and should allow for neighborhood serving uses. The Randalls and Medicine Shoppe represent the type of vital neighborhood-serving businesses that should be preserved in the future. Any re- development should include, first and fore- most the continued use of the Randalls site as a grocery store as well as ensuring that Crawford Avenue remains open as a public street. If the Randalls parcel redevelops, the neighborhood would support a secon- dary residential use above the grocery store, but would not support residential as a stand- alone use. The triangular corner lot that is currently home to the Medicine Shoppe deserves recognition as a prominent loca- tion in the neighborhood. Redevelopment should continue the site as a neighborhood use and a welcoming gateway to the neigh- borhood by connecting to and beautifying the city-owned open space which makes up the westernmost portion of the triangle. P L.4.3 Allow office and commercial development along 34th Street between Medical Park- way and Shoal Creek Greenbelt. There should be a transition with neighborhood- scaled stores and offices between the Shoal Creek Greenbelt and Medical Parkway and more intensive development from Medical Parkway to Lamar Boulevard. De- velopment should add to the existing shops and restaurants on 34th Street to create a lively, pedestrian-friendly streetscape. P L.4.4 Allow neighborhood mixed use develop- ment along the north side of 31st Street to transition between the residential proper- ties to the south of 31st Street and the more intensive development to the north and along Lamar Boulevard. The block Central West Austin 45 C15-2022-0082Exhibit IITEM5/86 Transportation Goal Statement and Introduction Support the livability, vitality, and safety of the Central West Austin neighborhood by providing streets that enhance its neighborhood character, encourage walking, bicycling, and transit use, and better serve its schools, library, parks and other key destinations. Key Themes:  Do not widen streets (T.1.1)  Enforce speed limits (ongoing APD efforts; see also T.1.3)  Protect against cut-through traffic (T.1.2)  Control on-street parking (T.1.5)  Maintain acceptable traffic service levels (T.1.10; see also T.1.2 and T.1.4) Streets in Central West Austin should be more than paths for cars. They are where neighbors meet one another, bicyclists ride, push strollers, walk dogs, and joggers exercise. They also give form to the neighborhood by shaping blocks and ar- ranging lots. Their frontages create semi- public spaces out of front yards, where children play and residents socialize. The character of the neighborhood’s houses and yards and its mature tree canopy encour- ages walking and cycling. Maintaining the neighborhood’s traditional character, and moving it into a sustainable future, means striking the right balance between having residential streets that are social spaces and having bigger streets that accommo- date vehicle traffic, transit, walking and cycling. Loop 1/MoPac and Lamar Boulevard are major thoroughfares for all of Austin. Ad- ditional traffic is placed on the neighbor- hood’s internal streets from drivers getting to and from major roadways and from drivers using these streets as alternate routes during rush hour. Unfortunately, the lack of neighborhood sidewalks on these smaller streets creates safety prob- lems with such cut-through traffic. The higher speeds of drivers looking for a quicker route to or from work impair the local functions of these streets, as well as their potential for bike and pedestrian use and social interaction. This is especially acute for those streets without sidewalks or bike lanes.

Through implementation, the neighborhood should see a cycle of im- provement in which pleasant streetscapes encourage pedestrians to use roads which creates greater opportunities for socializa- tion and leads to slower vehicular traffic that is sensitive to pedestrian activity. As vehicular traffic slows over time, streets become safer and encourage an increase in use by everyone. Objective 1: Streets in Central West Austin should support neighborhood character and livability. T.1.1 Maintain neighborhood character and liv- ability by not adding lanes to streets or widening streets or bridges in Central West Austin. At the following intersec- tions, stakeholders generally support in- tersection widening and improvements when they balance reducing congestion Transportation Chapter Current neighborhood concerns regarding volume and speed (T.1.2): Exposition & Pecos Blvd — Street  and intersections are overburdened during peak hours due to overflow from MoPac. Speeding is also a concern. At rush hour, traffic cuts through on westbound roads between Windsor and Enfield including Cherry Lane and Clearview.  Windsor Rd —Excessive volume and speeding from Lamar to Pecos Street. Windsor also gets traffic during pickup and dropoff times at the Austin Girls School. Pecos St— Excessive traffic during rush hour and speed and fast acceleration at all times. Forest Trail — cut-through between Enfield Road and Windsor Road Winsted Ln — Burdened when MoPac is congested. W. 7th St — Used as a cut- through to Lake Austin Boulevard and Exposition Boulevard. Bridle Path — Used to avoid Enfield, when congested. McCall Rd — High traffic around the Girls School of Austin. 29th St — Excessive traffic during rush hour. Used as a cut- through to MoPac. Northwood Ave — Excessive traffic during rush hour. Used as a cut-through to MoPac. Westover East of MoPac-Used as a cut-through to MoPac. Jefferson St/Hartford Rd — Used as a cut-through to MoPac. 31st/Shoal Creek— Burdened due to traffic from Seton and St. Andrew School.

If modifications are needed, request allocation of resources, from City management, to assist with the enforcement of all tree preservation and protection standards. ℕ P.3.2 Educate residents in spotting and reporting violations of the tree protection ordinance. Additionally, become familiar with the City’s protocol and procedures. The tree information can be obtained from the City Arborist Program web site: http:// www.ci.austin.tx.us/trees/. J: NPCT, COA P.3.3 Create a volunteer registry of protected and near-protected trees to aid the City Arborist in identifying protected trees. Residents preparing to sell their homes could add their trees to the registry, to protect them after sale. Also consider using the citizen-based urban forest mapping tool, such as the Tree Roundup (www.treeroundup.org). J: NPCT with COA, neighborhood associations, homeowner associations P.3.4 Create a Central West Austin recommended tree list from Appendix F of the Environmental Criteria Manual, or the Native and Adapted Landscape Plants booklet, to assist property owners in selecting appropriate species. The tree list should draw from the list of Austin- friendly trees, incorporate the neighborhood's preferences for species, and identify the uses different species can be put to (wind breaks, shade, stormwater, habitat, and preventing interference with utilities). J: NPCT with COA Parks, Open Space & Environment Chapter P.3.5 Undertake annual fall/spring tree plantings to ensure an urban forest diverse in ages and species. Trees should also be selected from the list in recommendation 3.4. J: NPCT with TreeFolks P.3.6 Replace less desirable (non-adaptive), invasive, diseased, and failing trees with native and adaptive trees. Invasive trees in public areas are most commonly found along creeks and drainage basins, where seeds are washed away and are able to take hold fastest. J: NPCT with TreeFolks Native and Adopted Trees Native and adapted trees require less main- tenance, are more disease- and pest- resistant, and maintain a connection to Aus- tin’s natural heritage. The City maintains a preferred plant list, used for development regulations; the non-profit Tree Folks provides a Tree Growing Guide for Austin and the Hill Country. Both are good sources for choosing trees. http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/growgreen/ P.3.7 Use trees to reduce heating and cooling costs. Deciduous trees south of buildings reduce heat gain in the summer, but allow it in the winter. Evergreens can serve as winter windbreaks and should be planted on the north side of buildings. J: NPCT with neighborhood associations, home‐ owners associations, individual property owners P.3.8 Educate residents in tree selection, inspection, and maintenance, and encourage them to get regular care by a certified arborist.
