From: To: Cc: Subject: Date: Craig Kuglen Ramirez, Elaine Case Number: C15-2020-0069 Sunday, November 08, 2020 7:34:25 AM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I live at 1310 Rockcliff Rd and am president of the Rockcliff Homeowners Association. I am writing for the members of this HOA and would like to submit the following information: 1230 Rockcliff Rd is a small lot and the current owner was aware of the size restrictions on that property when purchased. The lot is bordered by a “canal” on the south side which leads to a waterway 900-1000 feet long running north along the side of Rockcliff Rd. The residents of the properties on the waterway have 12 docks (and one not completed) and currently have 15 boats. Their only access to Lake Austin is via the canal adjacent to the above property. With no control of the boat size, speed or wave making capacity on Lake Austin, getting to and from the lake can be challenging. For safety reasons, these residents need a clear view of the lake. Building within 10 feet of the canal would create a danger for them. As I am scheduled for some cancer surgery on November 9th, I will be unable to attend the meeting. Could you please submit this information for me? Craig C. Kuglen CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
