The hearing in 2021 followed the administrative resolution of years of work-without-permit issues and code violations, including confirmation that the accessory structure does not require variances from the side and rear setbacks. Since the 2021 variance, several permits have been issued at this address, and some of them are still active. Unless the applicant can show that a department director has reversed the previous decisions or somehow overturned the Board of Adjustment variance, there is no reason to rehear the case. In short, the applicant has not been denied reasonable use. to submit a formal appeal of a written administrative decision or to challenge the department’s code interpretation. Simply re-applying for a variance that has already been granted makes no sense. Perhaps the Board can postpone the case and request clarification from the department director. size variance granted in August 2021; the first, on page 3, is from myself on behalf of the Zilker Neighborhood Association, and the other, on page 6, is from Jeff Jack, a former member of the Board of Adjustment. To summarize, regarding the setbacks: City of Austin, clarifying that a side yard setback variance is not required at 2003 Arpdale.

on this message. Thank you, again, for your patience and for helping us work through the various elements of this case. L. Atherton The conditions forwarded to Mr. Jacobs in 2019, 2020, and 2021 are: The ZNA zoning committee will not oppose a variance at 2003 Arpdale to decrease the minimum lot size to 5,514 sf if the following conditions are met: The owner (Scott Jacobs) must incorporate the corrected dimensions listed below into the variance application or submit a new sealed survey, include a diagram showing where decking and impervious cover will be removed to comply with current building and impervious cover limits, and resolve the specific discrepancies listed below. Dimensions of 2003 Arpdale 1. The area of the property is currently 5,514.14 square feet, which does not meet the minimum lot size of 5,750 square feet required in LDC Article 7, 25-2-943 (2), for lots recorded after March 14, 1946. (a) Maximum building coverage allowed is 2,205.7 sf (40% of total area). (b) Maximum impervious cover allowed is 2,481.4 sf (45% of total area). 2. On March 1, 1984, the accessory structure was a garage with an area of 180 sf and the area of the primary structure was 1,049 sf. Today, the area of the accessory structure, including the covered decks, is at least 648 sf and the area of the primary structure, excluding porches, is 1,420 sf. Building permits were not issued for the additional 839 sf constructed on this property after 1984, and the additions did not comply with applicable regulations at the time of construction. 3. The property does not comply with current building and impervious cover limits. (a) Existing building coverage is 2,307 sf, which exceeds the maximum allowed by 101.3 sf. (b) Existing impervious cover is 3,357 sf, which exceeds the maximum allowed by 875.6 sf. Discrepancies to be resolved and conditions to be included in variance application Reduce the size of the covered deck. The structure should be limited to the dimensions seen in the 2006 photos provided by Mr. Jacobs. The photos confirm that the covered deck was smaller in 2006 than the current deck. As a condition of the variance, the deck should be reduced at least to the width in the 2006 photo, and the deck should not be allowed to encroach on the rear setback or in the 10-foot space required between the two structures. …

2003 Arpdale Street BOA Presentation DECEMBER 2024 ITEM06/1-PRESENTATION Variance Summary § 25-2-492 – Decrease the minimum side setback from 5 ft to 4 ft § 25-2-773 – Decrease the minimum lot size from 5,750 square feet to 5,500 square feet – Decrease the minimum rear setback from 10 ft to 5.5 ft Below is a site plan of the building which has been in its current form since the early 1990’s 2 ITEM06/2-PRESENTATION Unique Circumstances and Characteristics Reliance on TCAD • Owner relied on TCAD when purchasing the home in 2012 • TCAD reports the site area as 5,752.90 sf 3 ITEM06/3-PRESENTATION Unique Circumstances and Characteristics Minor Reduction in Lot Size • Most properties in the subdivision were platted in the forties or fifties at 6,000 square feet or more, and so they were unaffected when the minimum lot size of 5750 sf went into effect. It appears, however, that sometime after the house and garage were built, a portion of this lot was sold. The resulting deficiency was not recognized until recently. This circumstance is unique within this area. Converted in 1990’s • Not all lots in the area have a structure built in 1949 that was converted to an accessory dwelling in the early 1990’s. Poor Record Keeping and Enforcement • Poor construction record keeping and poor permit enforcement results in the owner inheriting an unpermitted accessory dwelling. Setbacks have been in place since 1949 • The structure and foundation have been in place since 1949, so the setback can not change. 4 ITEM06/4-PRESENTATION Support for Approval Neighborhood Support (verified by signatures). • Over 80% of the owners within 300 ft are in support of the variance • No recorded problems or complaints with structure used as an ADU. • Neighbors felt like this variance is a non-issue since this request involves an existing structure already being used as an ADU. • They do not feel like this ADU should be subject to regulations intended to limit the amount of new construction and conversions in the area. 5 ITEM06/5-PRESENTATION Support for Approval No History of Issues • No complaints against the house or ADU have been recorded for over 64 years • Verified by open record request Existing Structure 64 years • Site has been in its current use for over 30 years • Site has been in its current configuration for over • Several other houses in …

They have owned and lived on this property for four generations. Mr. Azar wants to remodel the garage/ADU to be a habitable residence for his daughter, a first-year teacher at Graham Elementary School. The garage was built in 1937 and has been in its current location since before it was annexed by the City in 1946, before Tyler was a street, and before all the homes around it with the exception of the historic ranch house at 4811 Sinclair Ave. The slab of the structure was poured by the current owner’s grandfather, a master cement finisher, and it is a strong and valuable asset. This project will not change the structure’s distance from the street or the powerlines, and Austin Energy has reviewed and approved the design. PROJECT SUMMARY The family is respectfully requesting setback variances similar to those granted to their immediate neighbors. Those neighbors and others have written letters supporting the variances.
