Begin forwarded message: From: Date: May 13, 2024 at 3:19:50 PM CDT To: david Cancialosi Subject: Memo to Board of Adjustments David, Please pass along my apologies, along with this letter to the Board of Adjustments. Thanks so much, ~ Chris Dear Members of the Board of Adjustments, My name is Chris Renner. My wife Shannon and I are the property owners of 1306 Rockcliff Road. We have owned the residence for several years. We’re only the 3rd owners of this property in its 67 year history and intend to have it for a generation to come. We have children attending the University of Texas, relatives living locally, and are very invested in the Austin community and culture. Much of my professional career has been in Colorado as a custom homebuilder navigating various building, zoning and environmental codes - many which are similar to the City of Austin’s regulations. I very much appreciate the struggle between development and the environment. As such, I believe the setback requests before you are a result of careful planning and a minimalist approach to an otherwise non-compliant property on 3 sides. The requests are the minimum variances needed to redevelop the existing residence in a reasonable and fair manner, in the same location as the current structure since 1958. Throughout my career I have demonstrated a strong commitment to best management practices and that is certainly our intent with our home in this case. My wife and I ask that you approve the requested variances so we may continue the administrative approval process and begin replacing the 1950-era residence. I apologize in advance for not attending tonight’s meeting. I am stuck in Colorado due to weather. Thank you for your time - we appreciate your …

Note: Land Development Code, 25-2-1176 Site Development Regulations for Docks, Marinas, and other Lakefront Uses (A) A dock or similar structure must comply with the requirements of this subsection. (3) A dock may not be constructed closer than 10 feet to the side property line, regardless of the side-yard setback generally applicable within the base zoning district. BOARD’S DECISION: The public hearing was closed by Madam Chair Jessica Cohen, Vice-Chair Melissa Hawthorne’s motion to approve; Board member Jeffery Bowen second on 10-0 votes; GRANTED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: existing boat dock was erected some time ago and needs to be replaced and the neighboring boat dock are adjacent to each other and in the setback, strict compliance to the code to relocate, it would affect the environmental impact as opposed to just leaving it where it is. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: the boat dock has been in the same location for more than 40 years and the wetlands are very well established next to it. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: as a lot of the surrounding properties have adjacent complying boat docks. 3. The variance 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 in which the property is located because: as the boat …

Note: This section of the Land Development Code applies to lots that are included in a subdivision plat recorded before April 22, 1982 or is a legal tract exempt from the requirement to plat. For the above address the Subdivision Plat was recorded on December 1, 1976 Land Development Code Section 25-2-551 Lake Austin (LA) District Regulations (A) In this section: (1) SHORELINE means the 492.8 topographic contour line along the shores of Lake Austin. (2) SHORELINE SETBACK means a line parallel to the shoreline and at a distance from the shoreline that is prescribed in this section. (3) SHORELINE SETBACK AREA means an area between the shoreline and the shoreline setback. (B) This subsection specifies shoreline setbacks in a Lake Austin (LA) district. (1) The shoreline setback is: (a) 75 feet; or (b) 25 feet, if: (i) the lot is located in a subdivision plat recorded before April 22, 1982, or is a legal tract exempt from the requirement to plat; and (ii) the distance between the shoreline and the front lot line, or the property line of a legal tract, is 200 feet or less.

BOARD’S DECISION: BOA MEETING MAY 13, 2024 The public hearing was closed by Madam Chair Jessica Cohen, Chair Jessica Cohen’s motion to approve with conditions that all three sides of the carport remain open and to provide gutters along the westside of the property line that is shared with the neighbors; Vice-Chair Melissa Hawthorne second on 10-0 votes; GRANTED WITH CONDITIONS THAT ALL THREE SIDES OF THE CARPORT REMAIN OPEN AND TO PROVIDE GUTTERS ALONG THE WESTSIDE OF THE PROPERTY LINE THAT IS SHARED WITH NEIGHBORS. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: the placement of the existing house on the lot does not allow a reasonable space for a new setback-compliant parking structure without demolishing existing conditioned space, removing the existing carport would deprive this residence of a common residential amenity. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: in order to build a setback compliant carport, the Owners would need to demolish existing portions of their house. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: most houses in the neighborhood have carports or garages. 3. The variance 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 in which the property is located because: since many properties have similar carports in …

BOARD’S DECISION: March 11, 2024 The public hearing was closed by Madam Chair Jessica Cohen, Board member Michael Von Ohlen’s motion to postpone to April 8, 2024; Board member Jeffery Bowen second on 10-0 votes; POSTPONED TO APRIL 8, 2024. Due to cancelled BOA meeting for April 8, 2024: Postponement case Item03 C15-2024-0007 – 1503 Robert Weaver Avenue, Board member Melissa Hawthorn’s motion to rescind previous action (postpone to April 8, 2024), Chair Jessica Cohen second on 10-0; Board member Melissa Hawthorne’s motion to postpone case C15-2024-0007 to May 13, 2024; Chair Jessica Cohen second on 10-0 vote; POSTPONED TO MAY 13, 2024.

Medina-Leal and Yung-ju Kim abstain); motion fails, DENIED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: this is a very odd lot configuration as well as a very odd street configuration in having such a trapezoidal shape, would be very difficult with current house placement to offer any kind of covered parking. 2.
