Accessory Structure Placement B. Easement C. Setbacks D. Protected Oak Tree and CRZ D-3/4-PRESENTATION Photos of Accessory Structure in Current State of Completion and Placement D-3/5-PRESENTATION Approval would not Alter the Character of the Surrounding area. D-3/6-PRESENTATION Navigating the Process In speaking with the city offices in an attempt to understand the building codes, i was told conflicting information: ● We only needed 5 feet from our side yard to build a shed. This turned out to be 15 feet because of the street side setback, but even in reading through the municipal code handbook multiple times, it doesn’t state this with regard to sheds/accessory structures. ● Given incorrect codes from city officials when applying for variance (which speaks to the vagueness of the city code) ● Differing opinions of enforcement within the city ● Only after sifting through BOA hearings back to 2021 did I find another case that mirrored our situation. Without that I would have confidently built the structure thinking I was within code.

Variance Request 1401 E 3rd St C15-2022-0061 The Board of Adjustment July 11, 2022 Item __ Alecia Mosadomi (Husch Blackwell LLP) D-7/1-PRESENTATION Overview Seeking to preserve a single-family residence with accessory apartment to serve as a home for two families. D-7/2-PRESENTATION Requested Variance To reduce the minimum interior side yard setback from 5’ to between 2.82’ and 4.42’. D-7/3-PRESENTATION D-7/4-PRESENTATION D-7/5-PRESENTATION Inaccurate 2017 Sealed Waterloo Survey D-7/6-PRESENTATION Close-up of Fence Encroachment D-7/7-PRESENTATION D-7/8-PRESENTATION The Zoning Regulations Do Not Allow for a Reasonable Use because: They preclude preservation of an existing struc- ture that could house two families. D-7/9-PRESENTATION The Hardship is Unique to the Property The hardship is unique to the property because the relied upon a sealed survey to property owner determine the location of the property line. D-7/10-PRESENTATION The Hardship is not General to the Area because: It results from the inaccurate surveying applied to the property to receive City approval. D-7/11-PRESENTATION Approval Would Not Alter Area Character The variance would not alter the character of the area since it is not uncommon for structures to be placed in setbacks in this neighborhood because of discrepancies and errors in the original surveying and lot creation.

1409 Possum Trot BOA Request C15-2020-0038 E-1/1-PRESENTATION Our Variance Request • A variance from LDC 25-2-492; the rear setback in an SF-3 zoning district is 10 feet. We are requesting a rear setback of 5 feet. • The existing 1942 duplex has a 5-foot setback. It will continue to have the same 5- foot setback if the variance is approved. E-1/2-PRESENTATION Duplex at 1409 Possum Trot Requested 5-foot rear setback E-1/3-PRESENTATION Proposed Subdivision Plat E-1/4-PRESENTATION Property History • The existing structures were built in 1942 as a single-family residence and a duplex. • The property was annexed into Austin’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction and zoning regulations on March 14, 1946. • Because the property is within the City’s Full Purpose Jurisdiction with three existing units, it is classified as a legal non-complying use. E-1/5-PRESENTATION Property History (cont.) • On September 27, 2002, the City of Austin issued a Legal Tract Determination, which exempted this property from the platting requirements. • In 2019, the new owner purchased the property, and he wishes to subdivide the property into two lots, in order to bring it into compliance with the zoning regulations. E-1/6-PRESENTATION We are asking for BOA support for the following reasons: • The structures have existed since 1942, so variance approval will not impact the neighborhood. • This is a minimal departure. If this property were part of a neighborhood residential infill, the rear setback for a duplex would only be 5 feet, under 25-2-1535. However we do not qualify because residential infill requires a residential site area of one acre, and this site is smaller. E-1/7-PRESENTATION

*** External Email - Exercise Caution *** From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Pangle, Thomas L Ramirez, Elaine CASE NUMBER C-15-2022-0058 Monday, July 04, 2022 12:35:26 PM CASE NUMBER C-15-2022-0058 DEAR MS RAMIREZ, Telephone 512 608 8317 I OBJECT I am the owner of a home at 1200 West 22nd and a half St Austin 78705. Codes have no meaning unless they are enforced except in cases of exceptional hardship, and this is not such a case. The code is established for a set of purposes that need to be pursued. Furthermore, the recommended change allowing a decrease in setback would set a precedent for future adverse development within the neighborhood. -- Thomas L. Pangle Joe R. Long Endowed Chair in Democratic Studies Department of Government University of Texas at Austin http://www.la.utexas.edu/users/tlp374/ And Co-Director, Thomas Jefferson Center for the Study of Core Texts and Ideas University of Texas at Austin https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/coretexts/ Download papers and articles at: https://utexas.academia.edu/ThomasPangle D-4/1-LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Megan Meisenbach Ramirez, Elaine C-15-2022-0058 2202 Longview St Monday, July 04, 2022 11:09:29 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Greetings Ms Ramirez, Please convey my objection to the Board of Adjustment concerning the requested variances listed. Here are some of the reasons why these variances should be denied. 1. Such a decrease in setback would set a precedent for future development within the neighborhood and near-by residential neighborhoods and could lead to more variances of all types. 2. The developer knew what the setbacks were when they bought the property. Their action of purchasing the property came with the assumption of due diligence. 3. The current property set back is designed to promote a unified appearance to the neighborhood. Ther variances will upset the historic look of the streets and look out of place. 4. The requested 5 foot setbacks do not leave room for the eaves of a roof. Water runoff may land on the neighboring property promoting fast run-off and pave the way to flooding which is already a problem in this area. The Public Hearing is scheduled before the Board of Adjustment on July 11, 2022 (next Monday). Case Number: C-15-2022-0058 "The applicant is requesting a variance(s) from the Land Development Code Section 25-2-492 (Site Development Regulations) from setback requirements to: a) decrease the minimum rear yard setback from 10 feet (required) to 5 feet (requested) for the existing non-complying primary residence to …
