Address: 71 Julius St, Austin, TX Homeowners: Dan Coops and Amy Ruhl-Coops Variance request: Waterfront Overlay - Residential home re-build in secondary setback - Impervious cover from 30% → 36.8% Adjacent green space 1 71 Julius Street The Austin lot we purchased had three very old buildings which had been vacant for several years (back yard view) We have planned to build these two homes on the lot → 2 It is large enough to accommodate building both our home and a home for my wife’s parents Why this lot? History We sold our primary home in north Austin in order to purchase the Julius lot. We moved into an apartment. Building plans were assembled, architecture plans completed. Structural plans completed. Water/wastewater plans completed. Everything has been paid for and the plans have been ready to go. In Dec 2019 when ready to submit building permits, Surprise!

Increases housing: total four dwelling units compared to three at time of purchase 3. Replaces uninhabitable and long-vacant units with livable homes 4. Provides adequate off-street parking so that the street can continue to be used for basketball 5. Minimizes risk of flooding and run-off by reducing the permeable surface impact by eliminating one driveway by having a shared driveway between units, as well as uses rainwater collection barrels 6. Does not obstruct the view of the water (because the view is really of trees) 7. Does not obstruct the view of the shoreline from the water (because the view is …
