C15-2026-0021 / 2101 Arpdale St George Siddall June 8, 2026 BOA Meeting ITEM03/1-PRESENTATION A corner lot requires a 15’ setback and is not allowed sufficient room to cover a driveway on a side street. • Most properties require only a 5’ side setback allowing room for covered parking. • The narrow width of the lot leaves no room for additional covered parking, and the existing driveway is in the only available place. ITEM03/2-PRESENTATION The two awning posts are setback 10’ with a flat 9’ cover. ITEM03/3-PRESENTATION The awning does not change the character of the area, allows for open space and visibility, and is not near neighboring property lines. ITEM03/4-PRESENTATION In contrast, setback for fencing is only 10’. A fence has posts and can be a solid barrier up to 8’ tall. Solid fences on a corner change the openness of an area and block visibility. ITEM03/5-PRESENTATION The awning provides protection from sun damage, hail damage or other related weather damage, and keeps the acidic droppings from the pecan tree off vehicles as demonstrated in the image below.

Note: 25-2-814 - SERVICE STATION USE. A service station use: (1) must be screened from the street by a building or a landscape buffer that includes shade trees; (2) may not have more than 16 fuel dispensers; and (3) may not have more than eight vehicle queue lanes. Source: Ord. 20060831-068; Ord. 20110804-008. BOARD’S DECISION: The public hearing was closed by Chair Jessica Cohen, Board member Michael Von Ohlen’s motion to approve with a condition that the heritage tree is preserved, Vice Chair Melissa Hawthorne second on 11-0 votes; GRANTED WITH A CONDITION THAT THE HERITAGE TREE IS PRESERVED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: compliance with the queue lane configuration illustrated in the TCM would prevent the site ITEM06/1 from functioning safely and efficiently as intended, the TCM illustration depicts a configuration that does not reflect modern fueling operations and would result in increased vehicular conflict points, reduced maneuverability and reduced visibility. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: property is a subject to physical constraints due to configuration including lot, limited lot depth that prevents code required double stack configuration limited lot width which limits safe maneuverability and required residential compatibility buffer along the eastern portion of the site and required storm water detention and water quality infrastructure along the west and heritage tree which will be kept. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: the combination of site constraints uniquely limits the design flexibility …

ITEM04/1-LATE BACKUP -OPP 8 May 2026 Elaine Ramirez, Liaison Board of Adjustment City of Austin RE: C-15-2026-0014 2727 Exposition Boulevard Dear Board of Adjustment: The Board of Directors (BoD) of West Austin Neighborhood Group (WANG), after discussion, has voted electronically to oppose the above referenced variance request to reduce the LDC required setback from 10 feet to 3 feet in order to finish completion of an outside deck. The variance request for an expansion of the deck into the required setback is being done in conjunction with a request for a beer and wine serving license to also be granted to Zed’s Ice Cream, under an application by the property’s owners, a request that will require another waiver from the city because directly across the street from this proposal is Casis Elementary School. Substantial work has already been done on this proposed expansion including the removal of a ten-foot-wide asphalt driveway between Zed’s Ice Cream’s current deck and the 3- foot sidewalk that abuts the curb on Exposition Boulevard. After the unpermitted construction was begun early this year, a water line was severed resulting in a stop work order being issued. In the subsequent application process to correct these code violations, a site plan exemption was required to be filed by the applicant. In the review of the site plan exemption application, one of the reviewers commented that the construction proposed in the application appears to encroach on an existing fire lane. Reviewer comments also raised concerns about drainage. Cassis Village Shopping Center is a high functioning neighborhood commercial node. It contains a pharmacy, a grocery store, two clothing stores, a bank, a jeweler, a Starbucks coffee, an ice cream parlor and a small to-go food store. On-site parking is always tight, but is normally manageable except during school access/recess. If the variance request is granted so that the development proposal outlined in your packet is achieved, the expansion of the deck and the addition of food trailers, it is very foreseeable that the on-site parking will be overwhelmed. Going north along Exposition Boulevard at this edge of the center, the road drops and bends to the east resulting in a semi-blind hazard, a hazard compounded by a same-side driveway onto Exposition from the small office complex contiguous to the shopping center on the north. If the variance is granted, you would have a heavily used street, a three-foot sidewalk, …
