From: To: Subject: Date: peggy pevateaux Ramirez, Elaine Case C15-2020-0069 1230 Rockcliff Rd Friday, December 11, 2020 3:32:11 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Elaine, one of my neighbors said she thinks case C15-2020-0069 is to be reconsidered on Mon. Dec. 14. We still oppose the variance. I was told that the variance also requested cutting down a tree. I want you to know that the applicant has already cut down trees on that property. This was done as soon as they had a contract on the property. Our main concern is the variance would allow for a larger house to be built. We do not believe this will allow enough land for a septic field that is up to code. The house plans the previous owner had developed proposed a cess pit in place of a septic. This piece of property is surrounded on 3 sides with Lake Austin water. This could be a health issue. When this case had it’s first hearing, I read the reasons given for opposing it. Perhaps the most compelling reason was offered by a person who uses that waterway as access for boating. He said when the boats from the slew enter the main body of the lake, their entrance is already obscured as the shoreline curves there and it’s hard for boaters to see emerging boats. Allowing the variance would obscure line of sight even further. It’s a safety issue. We think the variance should not be allowed based on safety and health concerns. Thank you.

We want to create processes for transitions in BOA leadership and for additions of new members to our Board. 9. We want to include training on the role the legislature plays in the BOA.

MEMORANDUM TO: Members of the Planning Commission FROM: Jerry Rusthoven, Assistant Director/Interim Lead Planning and Zoning Department DATE: May 22, 2020 SUBJECT: UNO Sign Regulations The Planning and Zoning Department is requesting the Commission initiate an amendment to the UNO ordinance to correct an inadvertent change made to the sign regulations in the ordinance. In November 2019 the City Council approved changes to the UNO ordinance. One of those changes was intended to address signs above the second story of a building. Those signs were required to be cut in or engraved into the structure of the building. If the name of a building were placed on the facade this made it physically difficult to change the name in the future. It was agreed by the stakeholders to remove this requirement. In making this change to the ordinance a mistake was made and the result is all illuminated signs were prohibited in the UNO area. This is not what was intended or agreed to by the stakeholders. Also, because the UNO sign regulations are also used in TODs and the North Burnet/Gateway Plan this mistake carries over to other areas. Staff is asking for the opportunity to correct the ordinance. We will be working with the same stakeholders involved in the November revisions. If you need additional information, please contact me by email or 512-974-3207.

THE DRAG - 2234 GUADALUPE STREET C-1/2-PRESENTATION SECTION 25 -10-133 - UNIVERSITY NEIGHBORHOOD OVERLAY ZONING DISTRICT SIGNS (G) A sign may not be illuminated or contain electronic or moving images. SWEETGREEN is therefore requesting a variance to permit our proposed Wall and Blade Signs to be illuminated with the neon lighting system detailed on our plans originally submitted to the City of Austin.

The variance is necessary because strict enforcement of the Article prohibits any reasonable opportunity to provide adequate signs on the site, considering the unique features of the site such as dimensions, landscaping, or topography, because: This section of Guadalupe Street is predominantly commercial/retail businesses providing food, beverage and essentials for the student body of the University and residential apartments/condos/homes that reside behind and west of this strip of retail. Virtually each and every commercial retailer has signage that is illuminated to help direct potential consumers to their front doors.
