This lot would qualify for Small Lot Amnesty, but because it was subdivided illegally it does not qualify. We are bearing the punishment of a decision that was made in 1978. ● The lot is already undesirable because it is so small. It would very likely sit vacant in this neighborhood and deteriorate if I didn’t put work into it, as many other small lots in Austin do. ● I want to build a house that is livable on an already small lot as well as keep the aesthetics and style of the Kenwood neighborhood by not demolishing and building something new. 10 ITEM07/10-PRESENTATIONSmall Lot Amnesty “Many legally subdivided lots in older parts of the city that do not meet current standards or do not qualify as substandard lots are sitting vacant or the homes on those lots are deteriorating because major improvements are not allowed.” 11 ITEM07/11-PRESENTATIONA Fresh Start ● We are trying to do everything above board, but there have been so many mixups over the last two years with lot lines ● Had a builder promise me all permits and he disappeared on me ● We want to make the space livable as well as uphold the aesthetics of Travis Heights ● At some point there needs to be a fresh start so we can just move forward. There has been issues since 1978 and it’s time to clean it all up and we hope that you will be the board to help create this fresh start for this home. 12 ITEM07/12-PRESENTATION
