Public Comment Case Number: C15-2020-0059 Contact: Elaine Ramirez Public Hearing: Board of Adjustment October 12, 2020 I am neither in favor nor do I object, at this time. I am interested in compliance with zoning requirements that apply to myself an all my neighbors. ñ uela LaDonna Casta 5913 Sierra Grande Drive Austin, Texas 78759 At the time of this writing, I cannot say if I am in favor of or if I object to this request for a variance. I know the Sparks and they are very nice people who are engaged in the community. I very much appreciate them for both. I plan to attend the hearing online. I am in the process of having some major construction work done on my property, and the contractors I’ve interviewed are very aware (and sure to make me very aware) of city permitting requirements. I can only imagine, based on the estimates I am reviewing for my projects, how much the carport with tied in roof will and has cost. In my review of the application, it looks like the stated hardships are the heat from the afternoon sun, the shape of the large corner lot, and the need for covered access to a future ramp to the front porch. It seems the carport could be shorter and still accomplish shade and covered access from the car to the porch. I look forward to learning more about this project and this process that impacts my neighborhood. Thank you for the opportunity to submit these comments.

City Council & City Manager, WHEREAS, the members of the Austin Board of Adjustment (“BOA”), agree that fees have increased to a point that many socioeconomically challenged families in the City have been priced out of the ability to have their due process rights met at the Board of Adjustment; and WHEREAS, the BOA would like to give a fair and equitable hearing to all citizens that believe they deserve a special exception to, or a hardship variance from, the land development code; and WHEREAS, the metropolitan area of the City of Austin has approximately 11% of its residents below the federal poverty limit who would be severely challenged or unable to pay the BOA current fee thereby preventing these citizens experiencing issues with Austin’s complex land development code from being able to come to our Board for relief; and WHEREAS, further complicating the situation there is a current public health crisis in the form of SARS-CoV-2 that has resulted in mass unemployment and loss of income; and WHEREAS, there has been a noticeable lack of applications from the working or middle class neighborhoods in recent BOA cases and the majority have been for issues related primarily to commercial development and large home/real estate developers; and WHEREAS, in the past the City of Austin has a history of providing financial assistance programs to assist its citizens and has been at the forefront of implementing policy that provides equity and access to government to all i.e. Austin Energy CAP etc.; and WHEREAS, it is the desire that the City Council and City Manager support a fee assistance program for the Board of Adjustments in which the Board fully understands that the current fee structure was intended to reflect the actual cost of services provided by staff within the City, the BOA would like to be clear that any fee assistance program should not result in changes to staffing, rather, that the BOA and the staff provide a public good that should be provided by and supported with tax dollars and fees collected by the city, rather than wholly paid for by socioeconomically challenged applicants; and WHEREAS, the staff that serves the BOA provides exemplary customer service and board support duties, and our city should be proud of the professionalism and knowledge provided by its staff to residents; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT OF THE CITY …
