The purpose of the variances is to maintain an 8ft privacy fence constructed on the subject property this past fall of 2020 by the current property owner, after receiving approval from the subdivision Homeowner’s Association. The 8ft fence was constructed to provide privacy due to unnecessary communication between adjacent property owners.

The variances requested are as follows: § 25-2-899 - FENCES AS ACCESSORY USES. six feet or a maximum height of 7 feet. Requested variance: a maximum height of 8 feet.

Box 2125 Austin, Texas 78768 Dear Mr. Tagtmeier: April 16, 2021 We represent Chalice McGee and write in response to your March 25, 2021 correspondence. It seems that you have not been fully informed by your clients about the underlying circumstances about which you wrote. First, our client did obtain prior written approval of the Architectural Committee before constructing the fence in question, so there is no violation of the restrictions to discuss. There are no tents, shacks or other temporary structures present. Your claims that the fence encroaches on your client’s property, or that the existing fence was damaged during the course of construction of the new fence, are also unfounded. We suggest you investigate those claims further before launching a groundless lawsuit. If you choose to litigate, it is your clients who will face exposure for paying our client’s fees. Mr. Tagtmeier, we don’t know each other but I have had positive experiences in the past with other attorneys at your firm. Our client has no interest in antagonizing yours, but they have a long history of harassing and threatening her and many others in the neighborhood. The most egregious example which has been documented is described in the attached police report. Part of her motivation for building this fence was to avoid any further such confrontations, and so far it has seemed to achieve that goal. She just wants to be left alone, and to avoid any further tension or escalation with her neighbors. Please see what you can do to de-escalate this situation. We look forward to hearing from you. Very truly yours, /s/ Daniel H. Byrne Daniel H.

Board of Adjustment Training & Staff Support Workgroup 2020-07-02 (Leighton-Burwell, Hawthorne, Von Ohlen & Bailey) -- UPDATED Results /Action Items Proposed by the Workgroup (for discussion and possible action by the whole Board at upcoming BOA Meeting): 1. We want to start BOA trainings ASAP (thanks to our Liaison, this is already underway). 2. We want to have knowledgeable staff available at our hearings to answer questions regarding issues outside of BOA Liaison’s expertise (residential zoning), such was Lake Austin, Signage, Waterfront Overlay, etc. 3. We want to find out status of GIS mapping efforts showing history of BOA cases (location, type, etc.). 4. We want to build new bridges with City Staff and repair relationships from past situations. In addition, we want to be able to increase staff accountability without it appearing as a personal attack. 5. We want to know what the Department Supervisors need / want from BOA to better support each other and our joint processes. 6. We want to temper our deliberations to be focused on the facts of the cases before us and be less inflammatory or confrontational towards applicants and staff. 7. We want to hold ourselves accountable and our BOA colleagues in a civil and respectful manner. 8. We want to create processes for transitions in BOA leadership and for additions of new members to our Board. 9. We want to include training on the role the legislature plays in the BOA. Specifically how we are governed by both City and State mandates and what that means in how we operate. G-3/1

Ramirez, Elaine From: Sent: To: Subject: Julie Malouf Monday, June 14, 2021 12:48 PM Ramirez, Elaine Proposed variance for 1601 Brackenridge St *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Ms. Ramirez, This email serves to confirm our strong opposition to the setback variance application for 1601 Brackenridge St, Austin 78704. This is a double corner property that is exposed to streets on three sides, Brackenridge St., Monroe Ave. and Drake Ave, and while other "surrounding" structures referred to in the application have been granted setback exceptions, corners have different setback rules for a reason. This is a high traffic corner, as Monroe is a main artery to and from the shops and restaurants on South Congress. There is a high volume of kids on bicycles and scooters, many of which pay little attention to traffic laws and their surroundings. The proposed reduction from 25' to 5' will greatly reduce visibility at the intersection of Monroe and Drake and the ability to anticipate issues with oncoming traffic or bicycles, unnecessarily putting people's lives at risk. At approximately 6400 square feet, there is plenty of space for a structure to exist on the lot at 1601 Brackenridge St. without needing to reduce the setback from the street and endanger lives. We respectfully ask you to please decline this proposed variance for the reasons mentioned above. Thank you for your consideration. Regards, Julie Malouf Property owner - 1611 Drake Ave CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.
