From: To: Subject: Date: Cindy Black Ramirez, Elaine C15-2022-0019 neighbor feedback Wednesday, February 09, 2022 11:45:30 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hi Elaine, I received a notice of variance letter for the property at 607 E 49th Street. Here is my submission: Name: Cindy Black: “I object" Address: 5109 Evans Ave, Austin, TX 78751 Signature: attached below Phone: 214-796-5637 Comments: The applicant states "The existing accessory unit was constructed in 2004 but not permitted by the builder or any previous owners” and that the hardship is "No permit issues when building it before current Austin building guidelines”. This existing house was built in 2018 with permit approval as a garage-forward, side-by-side duplex. No accessory building is noted on the record set. It appears on Google Maps as though a very large accessory building sits at the back of the property, but this building is not shown on the 2018 permit records. This indicates that the 2018 applicant was negligent in documenting the property. This is unfortunate for the new owner, but it doesn’t make sense that the non-conforming, non-permitted building should carry forward through another stage of development. I vote in objection, and request that the applicant figure out an alternative design that improves the property within zoning and historic district guidelines.

To Elaine Ramirez, February 7, 2022 My name is Charles Thomas Westerman, I live at 2667 Crazyhorse Pass, Austin, TX 78734. I am writing in Opposition to Case number C15-2022-0011 / 2715 Long Bow Trail AND C15-2022-0012 / 2717 Long Bow Trail. I am against the new changes that are being sought to build these new homes.in Apache Shores especially the one they are requesting a permit for on Long Bow Trail. These developers trash the land and overbuild and overpopulated on this area oft here and enough is enough. You should see the concrete trucks that dump there slag right into the creeks here when they build these million dollar California dream atrocities. The repercussions of this out of check building out here is horrible. Traffic is bad and this building will constitute a HUGE fire hazard should an evacuation ever need take place due to a fire. There is a post on the Next-door app out here that shows my photos I took as well as others took of the developers allowing the concrete truck that pour the slabs to leave the waste at the bottom of the hill that runs straight into the water system out here. They are building unchecked houses that raise the property value and tax out people that have owned houses and lived here their whole life. That doesn't even include all the new coyotes that are out and because there is nowhere left for them to go. Let alone all the water pipes damaged by the constant water pressure checks on all of these over unit overpriced Hollywood McMansions. I will not waste any more of your time since your position is not a tax payer funded position. I hope you heed my concerns.

Lori Renteria 1511 Haskell Street Austin, Texas 78702 512.478.6770 (no texts) City of Austin - Board of Adjustments c/o Elaine Ramirez POB 1088 Austin, Texas 78767 SUBJECT: Case #C15-2022-0018, 54 Anthony Street, Austin Texas 78702 I am writing in support of the variances for the owner of 54 Anthony, Austin Texas 78702 located in the Holly Neighborhood. As a co-founder of the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Planning Team, I am very familiar with the dilemma suffered by owners of substandard lots. Unfortunately, because of some self-proclaimed leaders in the Holly Planning Area who do not believe in the value of diversity being an asset, the City Council never accepted a formal Neighborhood Plan nor recognized a legitimate Planning Team despite heroic efforts by city staff, local businesses, diverse residents, congregations or civic groups within the planning boundary. I attended many Holly Planning meetings and helped with outreach efforts to ensure that all voices in the neighborhood had a seat at the table. In fact, city staff tried to mediate the conflicts between members of El Concilio and the East Town Lake Citizens and the rest of the honest folks who wanted to have a Neighborhood Plan and adopt land use regulations like small lot amnesty and prevailing setbacks like we did in the East Cesar Chavez Neighborhood Plan. I knew the Dominguez family that lived at 54 Anthony for decades through my work with Summer Youth Employment and Community Education programs at Martin Middle School as an AISD project specialist up until 2000. Their tiny home, which I visited several times, was always at risk of being declared uninhabitable and my drive-by last week confirmed the condition of the tiny home has deteriorated even more. And there’s a heritage tree that further restricts building a new home. I believe that unless these variances are granted, we’ll all suffer from another vacant lot in the Holly Neighborhood because it’s just not financially feasible to build a home with the current setbacks and required lot size. Or worse yet, the land will flip several times and future owners will expend their time, talent and treasure coming before your Board. Please allow the new owner to create a new home in Holly. We need more neighbors! Be a part of the solution of our housing crisis, not part of the problem. There are hundreds of these tiny homes on tiny lots that are …
From: To: Subject: Date: Baldick, Ross Ramirez, Elaine Objection to Case Number C15-2021-0097 Sunday, February 06, 2022 4:38:48 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Dear Ms. Ramirez, I own and live in the property at 4211 Avenue A, and own and rent out the property at 4209 Avenue A. Both of these properties have had their crawl spaces inundated with water during severe rain in past years. Therefore, the issue of increased impervious cover and implications for future flooding is of utmost importance to me. The subject property, at 4315 Avenue A, is "upstream" from my properties. Increasing impervious cover at 4315 Avenue A, as implied by the variance request, will tend to worsen the flooding that my properties experience. For these reasons, I request that the Board of Adjustment deny the variance request. Thank you, Ross Baldick CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

Gonzalo Camacho Ramirez, Elaine From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Response to Notice of Public Hearing Case Number C15-2021-0101 (201 E Koenig Lane) Monday, February 14, 2022 2:17:42 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Good afternoon Miss Ramirez, In reference to the subject matter about the development variance hearing Case Number C15-2021-0101, please note the following: The developer was aware of the zoning regulations and its limitations at time of purchase. Any variance and related impacts should be mitigated by the developer. The increase of height from three stores to four, while clear on the elevation, the Notice of Public Hearing fails to educate the impact related to the increase in traffic due to the added capacity. Properly done, the notice should have included the added impacts in particular those related to traffic - how else can residents opinion on the changes? It is not expected for the developer to solve existing street safety issues and concerns but it is necessary to bring up to the attention of the City, residents, and Capital Metro some of these issues/concerns. [Is Capital Metro informed of the proposed development plus changes and impacts it will have on its bus route #7?] There were many lessons learned from the previous development on the west side of Avenue F where, West Koenig Flats. Following are some of them for consideration: With a grandfathered driveway on Koenig the West Koenig Flats had the opportunity to provide access to its residents on Koenig, neither the developer nor the City explored this option. Could not the current developer explore the option to access Koenig instead of residential streets? West Koenig Flats has only one driveway to access its multi level parking. This driveway is on Avenue F adjacent to the Capital Metro bus stop. When drivers are blocking the street or driveway buses are not able to pull up to the stop. Similar situation when buses are stopped residents are blocked from accessing the driveway. The proposed developer has a driveway on the same block that is already congested. Avenue F has sidewalks on the east side only and at the 5600 block (west side). Residents from the west side have to cross Avenue F to access a sidewalk. West Koenig Flats has a high volume of deliveries daily most of which park illegally on Avenue F. Residents moving in and out of the apartments use 56th …
