I am writing to express my opposition to Variance Request A. This variance is asking to lessen the amount of distance that may be built upon, in relation to the edge of the property lines. The code is currently set at 25 feet. The applicant wants to lessen this distance to only 7 feet from the eastern property line, and 13 feet from the southern one. I fell that the requested distances are too close to the property border for building, especially the one requesting only 7 feet!

Remember as a kid asking for something from your parents but trying to ask them separately? I think CMBH2 is doing that. They didn’t get what they wanted from the ZAP so now they are asking the Board of Adjustment. This property was purchased in March 2021 by CMCBH2 Company LLC. Their initial zoning change request (C14-2021-0056) was opposed by the Matthews Lane Neighborhood Association (MLNA).

He has shared his plans to remove the existing structure and rebuild a new house and ADU that is more fitting with the neighborhood. I understand that these new plans would respect the existing setback adjacent lot (east side) but will require a variance on the setback of Navasota side of the street. Since these new plans lead to a structure that is more fitting with the nature and character of the neighborhood, I am supportive of the request for variance on the Navasota side to reduce the setback from 15' to 10' in order to accommodate this.

The existing white structure has been a graffiti covered eyesore that brings the entire neighborhood down for far too long. It has been our opinion all along that the structure should be torn down - not only because it is an eyesore but because it is a fire hazard for the neighboring property and does not fit into the character of the neighborhood. I've reviewed the latest variance request to reduce the street (Navasota) side set back from 15' to 10' and the images of the proposed structure which is the subject of the October 10, 2022 meeting. It is my opinion that removing and replacing the existing white structure with what is being proposed would fit into the neighborhood much better. Therefore, I am in favor of the BOA granting this variance to reduce the street (Navasota) side set back from …

ITEM6/1-LATE BACKUP ITEM6/2-LATE BACKUP This is concerning a variance: C15-2022-0067 / 2614 Canterbury St to maintain two sheds. I am aware that Jose Minguell and Laura McQuary have applied for a variance to keep their (35 square foot) utility and (75 square foot) bike sheds that are adjacent to my property line. The two sheds replaced an old pre-fabricated metal shed and open storage area that were both in very poor condition and housed rodents. The new sheds are constructed much better. Since Jose and Laura do not have a garage, the sheds function as general storage that is easily accessed from the driveway. I’m fine with Jose and Laura keeping them there as sheds. ______________________________ Signed by: _Shanna Igo____________________ Neighbors at:____81 Llano St. _______________ ITEM6/3-LATE BACKUP

From: To: Subject: Date: Absolute Stornlok Ramirez, Elaine Case Number C15-2022-0060 Thursday, October 06, 2022 12:20:43 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello, my name is Kevin Chrane, I am the owner of the property at 1607 Matthews Lane, which is next door to the property at 1609 Matthews Lane that is the subject of case number C15-2022-0060. I am writing to express my opposition to Variance Request A. This variance is asking to lessen the amount of distance that may be built upon, in relation to the edge of the property lines. The code is currently set at 25 feet. The applicant wants to lessen this distance to only 10 feet from the eastern property line, and 14 feet from the southern one. I feel that the requested distances are too close to the property border for building, especially the one requesting only 10 feet! I would like to express my opposition to those items, am fine with the requests from Variance B. Thank you for taking my opinion as the next door landowner into consideration, Kevin Chrane (512) 694-2046 CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
