ITEM06/1-LTR FROM OWNER the existing duplex as a third unit on the site. We are not real estate developers, nor builders, nor home designers. We are a family trying to build an accessible home for our multigenerational blended family. My son Peter has multiple disabilities, uses a wheelchair at all times, and requires round the clock medical supervision. Maintaining the existing duplex as separate residences for caregivers for Peter and other family members provides an affordable option to these important members of Team Peter to live on site in an increasingly expensive city. Providing affordable housing options for caregivers is the best way that we have to continue to have the high quality care for Peter that he deserves, especially as he has aged out of the public school system. Keeping the family in Central Austin, close to transit and other services is also an important part of keeping him engaged and integrated in our community. We met with that committee three times from July to the following January in an attempt to determine HOW to build our addition and fell into a gaping hole in the Austin Land Development Code - that is, there was no way to have a third unit on a site that was zoned as SF. The committee and neighbors opposed upzoning to MF and wished for us to find a way to build using SF zoning but ultimately, after a LONG discussion at the January Planning Commission meeting in 2023, the property was rezoned to allow for the third unit. Members of the Planning commission, staff and even the ex-officio member of the Board of Adjustment considered other SF codes and variance, but in the end, the ONLY way to accomplish this and even though it makes building much more difficult, was to upzone the property to MF. Since that time, Austin’s land development code has caught up to fill in that gap with the passage of the HOME ordinances. Once the amendments were ratified, we researched their provisions and it seems once again that our project is a perfect fit. Even though it is a more restrictive code, it is much more in keeping with our project, and they are simpler for our family. Webber Studios has designed a beautiful renovation to the property that allows Peter to access the entire property and respects our neighbors wishes to not have a multifamily commercial …
From: Hi Donna, Subject: Date: Re: Feedback from some of your neighbors. (705 Brownlee - BoA hearing 10/14) Thursday, October 10, 2024 5:23:30 PM Thank you for reaching out while David is out of pocket. I’m going to go ahead and copy Elaine Ramirez, the Board of Adjustment’s staff liaison on this message so that she has it and can add it to the backup information about the request that the Board gets on Monday. Thank you, Elaine, for adding it to our packet. I’ll copy the neighborhood concerns here so they are easy to follow: 1) Guarantee there would only be three units. Yes, this is the addition made possible by HOME, our renovation/addition adds one more unit to the existing duplex for a total of 3 separate units. 1) Cap total height under 35 including mechanical space Yes, this is the limit for single-family use, our renovation/addition does not exceed 35 feet. 2) Dust Screen for neighbors -- 8 Ft - as they are lower in elevation to the south. I’m not sure if you mean a dust screen during construction which I would assume is normal, or a fence, but yes, we are happy to build an 8 ft fence on the shared property lines. 3) Two code legal parking spaces located in the front yard (where you show them on the site plan) with sufficient landscape screening in the front yard to screen the view of the parking spots from the street. Yes, we absolutely will include landscape screening at the street. I am a plant/tree lady and I am looking forward to getting to the landscaping part of this project. Bring on the native and drought tolerant trees and shrubs! Our intent in seeking these variances to the more restrictive single-family use for our renovation/addition has always been to minimize the impact to the neighborhood that a commercial process would require. We are happy that the HOME ordinances now make that possible if we are granted these two variances. I am sure that the Board of Adjustment will be receptive to the neighborhood’s support so that our family can move forward with permitting. As always, feel free to contact me with questions about the project.

BOARD’S DECISION: The public hearing was closed by Madam Chair Jessica Cohen, Madam Chair Jessica Cohen’s motion to approve; Board member Michael Von Ohlen second on 10-0 votes; GRANTED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: modern service station designs utilize the racetrack/single pump layout for maximum vehicle/pedestrian safely and accessibility, both the Transportation Criteria Manual and Code Section 25-2-814 are outdated and should be updated to be more in line with safer on site maneuvering and to be in line with Austin’s Environmental goals to be carbon free by 2050. 2. (a) The hardship for which the variance is requested is unique to the property in that: the size and configuration of the property does not allow for adequate room to design the proposed service station with the City of Austin’s accepted double stack design while maintaining the adequate maneuvering and queuing space required for service stations by the Transportation Criteria Manual, specifically the throat length of the driveway on Eva Street as well as the required detention limit shifting the development in the northern portion of the site, the southern portion of the site is constrained by Austin Energy easement that cannot be encroached upon. (b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: the race track/single fueling pump configuration is considered standard prototypical among most major fueling stations today and is the preferred product for vehicle accessibility and pedestrian safety. 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 …
