I attended the last hearing and spoke in opposition to this variance exception. The variance was denied at that time. I am unable to attend tonight due to my son's baseball game. I would say the same thing I did last time. I spoke to the builder and asked for them to build something smaller that fits in the small lot. He said no, he was going to build his 1.2 million dollar three story white houses or he wouldn't make enough money. I have lived here for over 20 years and moved to this neighborhood to enjoy space, light and nature not huge three story white walls built on a tiny lot where he has to clear all the trees and cut out the mountain. I am asking that this builder be denied to increase the impervious cover from 5% to 40%. I would plead to the board that this is wrong and the rules are in place to protect our lakes and he refused to compromise.

4507 NORTH INTERSTATE 35 Sign Proposal for Apple Tree Holdings ------------------ Alex Ybarra Director, Apple Tree Holdings LLC 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/1-PRESENTATION INTRODUCTION The property at 4507 North Interstate 35 is uniquely situated at the I-35 split and is surrounded by several trees. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/2-PRESENTATION LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE Relevant Code: §25-10-123 (Expressway Corridor Sign Districts) (B)(2)(b)(i) and §25-10-123 (B)(3)(a) which regulate the sign area and sign height, respectively. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/3-PRESENTATION VARIANCE FINDINGS First: The existing sign is blocked from view by large trees, many of which are over 35 feet high. These trees are either on neighboring properties or city property; therefore, petitioner has no control over those trees. We would also like to preserve trees on the 4507 property to the fullest extent possible. The proximity to the I-35 split also causes visibility issues. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/4-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/5-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/6-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/7-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/8-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/9-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/10-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/11-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/12-PRESENTATION VARIANCE FINDINGS Second: The granting of these variances will not have a substantially adverse impact upon neighboring properties as our assessment is that continued development of 4507 provides a benefit to the neighborhood through crime reduction, continued investment, and improvement of a previously abandoned property. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/13-PRESENTATION LETTER IN SUPPORT Our neighbor, Copernicus STEM Academy, signed a letter in support of the sign variance. Originally, the concept was for a 240 square foot sign, and this larger design was supported by our neighbor. 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/14-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT C-1/15-PRESENTATION SAMPLE FOOTER TEXT 4507 N IH 35 SVRD; Case Number: C16-2022-0004 C-1/16-PRESENTATION VARIANCE FINDINGS Third: The proposed remodel of the sign is consistent with the character of the expressway corridor sign district.

Presentation First, I want to thank you for giving me the opportunity to present my case to you today In October 2018, My wife and I purchased the property located at 4522 Caswell with the expectations that when I retired, we would move to Austin. I needed an office where I could continue to wrap up my practice. The obvious choice was to transform the garage into a space that would be comfortable, away from the house, with good internet. We hired Christian Gutierrez and his company to act as General Contractor for the project. Our proposed plans to renovate the existing garage into a secondary dwelling have been denied permit approval due to a hardship created by two conflicting code restrictions, those specific code sections are referenced in our variance request application. On one side we were told that we could not move the structure closer to the existing protected trees because doing so would affect them and thus would deny our permit request. Its worth mentioning that leaving the structure where it is would grant us Tree Ordinance approval as it has been stated by the city Arborist upon inspection. On the other side we were told that we are encroaching over the rear yard setback restrictions and would have to move the structure outside the setback restriction to comply so we can be granted our permit request. As you can see, these two code regulations conflict with each other. So we move one way, we are denied a permit from Tree Ordinance. If we move the other direction, we are denied approval from Zoning Department. We are not here to change the complexion of Hyde Park nor the character of our neighborhood. On the contrary, the proposed structure is designed in a way to preserve its architectural historic features an values consistent with our house and with the houses in the area. Our house is a beautiful old 1930s Craftsman Home and we would love to preserve that as much as possible. We are asking this Board for a variance to the regulations that have created a hardship due to the conflicting set of rules. We ask that we be issued a permit that allows us build 3 feet into the setoff restriction zone. Thank you for your time E-3/1-PRESENTATION
Monday, June 6, 2022 To: Board of Adjustments City of Austin 301 W 2nd St, Austin, TX 78701 Reference: - Supplemental Letter - 2715 Long Bow Trail - Case # C15-2022-0011 I am writing to provide you with the additional information requested by the Board of Adjustments during our meeting on April 11, 2022. I have attached a copy of the supporting documents for the comments below and answer the questions and concerns you had during the hearing. Directly below, you will see our justifications for approval, and below that is the backup information concerning the property and the reasoning for our justifications. Justifications for approval: - The less is more version 1. Based on the slope analysis, the current site only allows for 1,097.55 sf of IC. We are requesting 2,000 sf of impervious coverage to meet the Apache Shores POA minimum living area requirements, a two-car garage for proper parking, and the required driveway using ribbon designs. a. This lot needs more IC than the adjacent one to protect the large tree in the center of the lot. b. As an item of reference, this lot will only have 22% of the total site area, which is half of the standard IC allowed under typical zoning regulations. 2. The new design that the developer created reduced the originally requested IC by 40% by utilizing a single-car ribbon drive and reducing the house size and footprint. 3. Based on the engineering report and design provided by 3PX engineers, they created a drainage plan that will prevent any additional/adverse runoff created by the proposed development. This plan was created by using Vegetative Strips that are allowed under the ECM Section 1 - 1.6.7 (B) 4. Without this variance, we will not be able to develop any structure on this property that will meet the COA development regulations and the Apache Shores POA development requirements on the deed restrictions. Backup Information Zoning Regulations: The primary basis of our request is that the property has been zoned for both LA (Lake Austin) zoning and the Lake Austin overlay. As shown below, both regulations require a min. of 1-acre lot size per the City of Austin development regulations. The application of the LA regulations on this lot makes it non-developable for reasonable use. The LA regulations are also shown as the strictest zoning regulations specified in 25-2-33 (b). 1. Per 25-2-492 site development …
