I was hoping that I could just email you rather then mailing the paperwork in. This applicant has purchased both properties, knowing the limitations and is now requesting rather significant variances on both properties so that he can construct larger homes for the purposes of greater profit. I think that this type of reasoning is what has ruined my neighborhood with the extreme number of demolitions and the resulting McMansions becoming the norm. What was an average neighborhood is now exclusively filled with million dollar homes. That said, I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF EITHER PROPOSAL. Let me know if this is sufficient. Hope all is well with you.

I was hoping that I could just email you rather then mailing the paperwork in. This applicant has purchased both properties, knowing the limitations and is now requesting rather significant variances on both properties so that he can construct larger homes for the purposes of greater profit. I think that this type of reasoning is what has ruined my neighborhood with the extreme number of demolitions and the resulting McMansions becoming the norm. What was an average neighborhood is now exclusively filled with million dollar homes. That said, I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF EITHER PROPOSAL. Let me know if this is sufficient. Hope all is well with you. Thank you.

Board of Adjustment Training & Staff Support Workgroup 2020-07-02 (Leighton-Burwell, Hawthorne, Von Ohlen & Bailey) -- UPDATED Results /Action Items Proposed by the Workgroup (for discussion and possible action by the whole Board at upcoming BOA Meeting): 1. We want to start BOA trainings ASAP (thanks to our Liaison, this is already underway). 2. We want to have knowledgeable staff available at our hearings to answer questions regarding issues outside of BOA Liaison’s expertise (residential zoning), such was Lake Austin, Signage, Waterfront Overlay, etc. 3. We want to find out status of GIS mapping efforts showing history of BOA cases (location, type, etc.). 4. We want to build new bridges with City Staff and repair relationships from past situations. In addition, we want to be able to increase staff accountability without it appearing as a personal attack. 5. We want to know what the Department Supervisors need / want from BOA to better support each other and our joint processes. 6. We want to temper our deliberations to be focused on the facts of the cases before us and be less inflammatory or confrontational towards applicants and staff. 7. We want to hold ourselves accountable and our BOA colleagues in a civil and respectful manner. 8. 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. Specifically how we are governed by both City and State mandates and what that means in how we operate.
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.
