Carson story of 1209 Choquette My name is Jennifer Carson, co-owner of 1209 Choquette with Robert (Bob) Carson, my husband. Bob moved in as renter in 1992 then purchased the home in 1993. In 1995 we married and began our life together at 1209 Choquette. After the birth of our first child in 1997 and the death of our last parent we decided in 1998 to stay put in our Brentwood home because of the community we had established. To make space more practical it was suggested by our architect that adding a second story was the best option. At the time deed restrictions did not allow a second story without the “approval of neighbors”. We took our blueprints to each surrounding neighbor to get their opinion on our two-story addition. At that time, the majority of our neighbors were original owners and were very supportive of our addition. There were no two-story additions on our block and very few in the entire neighborhood. That is hard to believe now. We made significant effort to have it fit the original character of Brentwood. When we started in 1999, we had a toddler and were expecting our second child. With the need to complete construction quickly and limited funds we did not seek to add on to our original carport at that time. Our driveway follows our sloped lot toward the house so rain from the roof pooled significantly in the original carport. Progressively, the carport flooding increased. In 2003 we extended the carport to its current form to help remedy that. The pitch on the extension allows rain to better drain to either side of the driveway and carport into grass yard rather than flowing directly into the carport. Over the years we have continued to keep our home well-maintained and we remain fully vested in the neighborhood. Both of our boys attended Lamar and McCallum neighborhood schools. We have since completely remodeled the kitchen (2015/2016) upgrading plumbing and electrical. It was noted on our documents then that the carport was over the setback, but all permits were approved and inspections passed. Last month inspection was completed for entire home window replacement with double pane energy efficient windows. Currently we want to add a permittable front porch opposite the carport open on all 3 sides with a similar façade. In the planning process we learned that we needed a variance. …

This Affidavit is made as part of an initial submission to the City of Austin related to a request for Variance related to a build-out of the existing attic space to create habitable living space for the home at 1411 Gaston Avenue, Austin, Texas 78703. We have retained CGS to prepare architectural design drawings and construction specifications for our build-out. In the proposed buildout, we have requested: 1. No expansion to the current exterior building envelope save the addition of 2 dormers in the back of the house for egress from the second floor to comply with fire code requirements. 2. There are three neighbors behind our home that would be potentially affected visually by these dormers. The home directly behind ours is owned by Jan and Bobby Jenkins [1404 Ethridge]. I have shown them the exterior proposal and they had no concerns related to the addition of the two dormers. The homes on west side of the Jenkins’ residence is currently under construction and has no view of the proposed dormers and the other home is soon to be on the market and likewise has no view of the proposed dormers. 3. The directly adjacent next door neighbors, 1407 and 1413 Gaston would not have a visual line of sight to the dormers and both had no concerns with the addition of dormers on the roof our home. 4. The proposed renovation would not affect the front façade of the home. No neighbors with views of the façade from their home expressed concern. 5.

904 Avondale Rd. Application for Variance ‐ Screened porch encroaching into front yard setback & Variance for nonconforming use (substandard lot size). Owners: Frank and Jeannine Clark. *Frank is a restoration carpenter with 25 years of experience. *Jeannine is an interior designer. *This is our retirement home. D-7/1-PRESENTATION LOCATION: 904 Avondale. Travis Heights Neighborhood. Between Travis Heights Blvd & Alta Vista Avenue. South of Riverside Drive. D-7/2-PRESENTATION This corner of the porch intersects the required front yard setback from 25’ to 17 PROPOSED EXISTING Existing porch footprint to remain. New Porch with roof extension and screens, open on two sides. New porch will not extend past the current street‐side face of the home. Coverage area: approx. 8’ x 16’. D-7/3-PRESENTATION Current condition: Existing 1949 vintage ‘small home’ Cottage– 594 square feet, 1 bedroom. Goal: • Restoration of the existing home to conform to the character of the neighborhood without adding interior square footage. • Add screened front porch as part of the renovations. (at existing non‐enclosed front porch). Conflicts which require variance: • A triangle portion of the proposed screened porch encroaches the required 25’ front yard setback per LD Code 25‐2‐ 513G. Request to reduce setback in this area to align with front of existing home, approx. 17’ from property line. LD Code 25‐2‐947. Lot size is 5292 s.f. , which is a non conforming size lot. • D-7/4-PRESENTATION HARDSHIP SUMMARY There is, quite literally, no other location we can add this screened porch, and the porch is vital to the enjoyment of our tiny home. The shape of the lot: The pie-shape creates a very small area for any construction due to the lot depth and angles of the setbacks. The angle of the front setback cuts through a portion of the porch and house since the lot is so shallow on the short end; therefore the buildable area is severely restricted. The size of the lot: The lot is considered substandard by the current city code since it does not meet the minimum lot depth or size. The lot is measured at 5,292 SF. In many other areas of town, the city has acknowledged the need to provide a means of developing on small lots and therefore allows small lot amnesty; however in our case, the small lot amnesty is not applicable due to the neighborhood not adopting the code, and limits the amount of improvements. The …

July 12, 2021 BOA. mtg. Austin Energy estimates it will take up to 23 weeks (5.75 months) to move the overhead line. Therefore, I think this BOA hearing will need to be postponed until the first BOA hearing date of 2022. I will pay the $302.64 renotification fee, but I am paying it under protest, because this is Austin Energy’s delay, not ours or the property owner’s. It doesn’t seem fair that the property owner needs to pay because Austin Energy has such ridiculously long timeframes to move a simple wire.

By the way, the Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association did not receive notification of this variance hearing from the City, rather we received it second hand from another neighborhood association. Thank you, Joyce Basciano Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association Dear Chair Cohen and Members of the Board of Adjustment, Re: C15‐2021‐0056 3006 Glenview Avenue Agenda Item D‐2 The Bryker Woods Neighborhood Association (BWNA) Board of Directors considered this variance request. In the case of through lots we are guided by the precedent set by the Board of Adjustment on Monday, September 8, 2014 in Case Number C15‐2014‐0115 (see attachment). That case involved another through lot on Glenview Avenue that backed up to Jefferson St. (3200 Glenview, cited in the backup for 3006 Glenview). The 2014 BOA Decision granted a variance decreasing the 25 ft setback to 10 ft from the property line, not 5 ft. A 10 ft rear lot setback is still reasonable for through lots on Glenview Avenue and is in keeping with the historic character of Jefferson St. Accordingly, we support a decrease of the 25 ft setback to 10 ft but oppose a decrease of the setback to 5 ft.
