BOARD’S DECISION: The public hearing was closed by Madam Chair Jessica Cohen, Board member Michael Von Ohlen motions to Approve; Board member Brooke Bailey second on 10-0 vote; GRANTED. FINDING: 1. The Zoning regulations applicable to the property do not allow for a reasonable use because: property was planned with RC on 1955 that requires residence to front Sweetbrush Dr and specifically calls out a 25ft front building line setback on Sweetbrush dr and a 10ft rear building on Matthews Dr, Lot 13 is an irregular shape lot platted in 1968 with restrictions requiring residences on Sweetbrush Dr and establishes a 10 feet rear setback. 2.

(b) The hardship is not general to the area in which the property is located because: lot 13 is the only lot between Sweetbrush Dr and Matthews Dr without allowable 10 feet setback from Matthews Dr. 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 the purpose of the regulations of the zoning district in which the property is located because: multiple surrounding properties contain structures nearer than 25 feet to Matthews Dr. Elaine Ramirez Executive Liaison Jessica Cohen Madam Chair

ITEM10/51 North Loop Neighborhood Association Board of Adjustment 301 W. 2nd St. Austin, TX 78701 Subject: North Loop Neighborhood Association and proposed development at 5413 Guadalupe To the Members of the Board of Adjustments this afternoon, the 9th of September 2022. My name is Brian Bedrosian and I am currently serving as the Vice President of the North Loop Neighborhood Association (NLNA), a post I have held since 2019. I am writing this letter on behalf of the NLNA to provide some insight into the neighborhood’s past positions on projects such as that being proposed by Webber Studio and their clients that might help to inform how the NA would vote once we are able to properly consider the project. Marek Hnizda reached out to me regarding this project and we met over Zoom to discuss the proposed variance to the setback along Guadalupe along with their proposed project and what it might look like. We were not able to bring this in front of the neighbors for a formal vote prior to your meeting on the evening of the 12th of this month – so my comments here are simply an idea of our values and how we have responded to similar proposals. In general, our neighbors have tended to vote in favor of projects that show a considered investment in quality housing within our neighborhood with a focus on affordability, family-oriented units where possible, sustainability and increased density. Our neighborhood plan has sought to support a more urban feel to our neighborhood that aspires to provide space for a more diverse and inclusive community of people in the rapidly heated market that Austin finds itself in. With this in mind, the project per the current proposal is within the parameters of something we might support. As you may recall we were recently in front of the Board in support of a much larger VMU project at 201 East Koenig Lane at the southeast corner of Koenig and Avenue F. That particular developer …

From: Sent: Wednesday, January 24, 2018 1:02 PM To: DSD Help Cc: Subject: 1401 East Third This message is from Jeff Thompson. [ bc-jeffrey.thompson@austintexas.gov ] I sit on the Planning Commission and one of the residents in my district asked me about a new house going up at 1401 E 3rd Street, 78702. It appears to have approved plans for less than the required set back, but there was never a BOA hearing or other variance. Can you please explain how they are allowed to build so close to another house and within the set back?
