Variance Request Gary & Nancy Langdon Residence 3805 Eton Ln C15‐2021‐0018 Board Of Adjustment February 8th, 2021 F-3/PRESENTATION-1 Overview • To allow Accessory Structure to remain in Setback • To reduce street side setback from 15' to 2‘ • The placement of utility cables and zoning regulations applicable to the property cause a hardship as it does not allow for reasonable use due to the fact that every underground utility runs through our small back yard leaving us no other location to place the accessory structure than where we have placed it.

In our online research and observing numerous other accessory structures in the neighborhood we had no reason to believe our structure would not be in compliance. F-3/PRESENTATION-9 Safety and Security • Gates ‐ We have purchased custom accessory locking gates to fit between the accessory structure and the fence, the accessory structure and the house – allowing no access behind the accessory structure, between the accessory structure and the sides or front yard fence line. • Locks ‐ for safety and security ‐ the steel, roll up garage door we purchased has a locking mechanism as well. F-3/PRESENTATION-10 Reasonable Use Hardship • This hardship is unique to our property because of the placement of utilities on the property. • Further hardship unique to this property is due to the placement of the house on the property – …

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. H-2/1
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.

C-1/1 LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Tanner Blair Ramirez, Elaine Appeal for 314 and 316 W. 34th Street #C15-2021-0009 Tuesday, February 02, 2021 1:52:25 PM *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Hello Elaine, As the chair of Central Austin Urbanists, I am writing to inform you that our organization would encourage Board of Adjustment to interpret the NUNA NCCD in the narrowest way possible. Climate change is real. This housing would be in walking distance to transit, the university, and more amenities than we can list here. This is one of the few locations in the city that can truly support a car-free lifestyle and insisting that new housing continue to reinforce and promote automotive- centric living is a threat to the long-term health of our community. Additionally, we take exception to the tone and content of Mr. Levinski’s application, especially the continued use of the term “stealth dorms”. At a time when housing costs are at an all-time high, it is very telling the character and substance of their argument that so much emphasis is placed on making sure that families and groups people that don’t meet their platonic ideal are denigrated and relegated to the status of nuisance. This segregationist attitude is anathema to the spirit of radical inclusion that we believe is the actual foundation of a community, and we ask that the city reject the argument that there is a right way and a wrong way for families to look. Given the dubious merits of requiring parking, the very real climate crisis, and the very real housing crisis, we ask that the Board of Adjustment stand by staff’s judgement and not require more parking spaces than absolutely necessary.

C-1/2 LATE BACKUP To: Board of Adjustment - Interpretation Appeal Unfortunately, I will not be in town to speak for the appeal of 314 & 316 W. 34th St. on February 8th so I’m writing you now. I live on 34th Street within 200 ft of this development. As a neighborhood, we worked very hard to come up with a NCCD to protect ourselves from stealth dorm developments that violate …
