The variance is necessary because strict enforcement of the Article prohibits any reasonable opportunity to provide adequate signs on the site, considering the unique features of the site such as dimensions, landscaping, or topography, because: This section of Guadalupe Street is predominantly commercial/retail businesses providing food, beverage and essentials for the student body of the University and residential apartments/condos/homes that reside behind and west of this strip of retail. Virtually each and every commercial retailer has signage that is illuminated to help direct potential consumers to their front doors. Strict enforcement specifically item (G) of this Article, will absolutely put sweetgreen at a distinct disadvantage and would prohibit them of a reasonable opportunity to compete by providing adequate signage. Signage that would equally allow their business to stand out amongst those already in place and having a presences, recognition and familiarity to the neighborhood. 2. …

3115 Westlake Drive Austin, Texas 78746 Case#C15-2020-0068 D-5/1-PRESENTATION VARIANCE REQUEST 1. LDC 25-2-551(B) – reduce the Lake Austin shoreline setback on the canal only from 75’ to 15’. 2. LDC 25-2-551(C)(3)(a) – increase the allowed impervious cover from 35% to 40% in a slope category within the 0-15% slope. D-5/2-PRESENTATION AERIALS D-5/3-PRESENTATION REASONABLE USE • The property owner is requesting an increase to impervious cover and a shoreline setback as to the canal to accommodate a proposed guest house and related improvements as allowed under LDC 25-2-893(D). To accomplish the same, a variance is being requested. • This is a fair and reasonable use in the Lake Austin zone district, as this district specifically prescribes development that is residential in nature. D-5/4-PRESENTATION HARDSHIPS • The slough accounts for 16,757 square feet; • The 75’ shoreline setback from the main channel is 12,545.8 square feet; • The 75’ shoreline setback from the slough is 53,612.8 square feet; • The total area of the Property outside of the 75’ setbacks is only 51,213.3 square feet; D-5/5-PRESENTATION HARDSHIPS CONTINUED • The upper portion of the Property near Westlake Drive is unbuildable due to extensive slope and has an existing driveway that is to remain; • The 75’ setback from the slough extends the entire width of the Property in many areas and only allows for, at the largest, an 18’ wide house; • The length of the Property is approximately 780 feet, while the width is only 167 feet; and • Given the width of the slough and the shoreline setback, the guest house requires a driveway of that extends across more than ¾ of the length of the Property. D-5/6-PRESENTATION CHARACTER • The proposed construction is limited to a guest house, which is common along Lake Austin. • The existing house and proposed guest house has a lower impact on the area than neighboring properties given the smaller scale of the existing house and proposed guest house. • The construction will be consistent with the various construction styles found throughout Lake Austin. • There will be no adverse impact to adjacent properties.

1230 Rockcliff Road Austin, Texas 78746 Case#C15-2020-0060 D-6/1-PRESENTATION VARIANCE REQUEST 1. LDC 25-2-551(B) – reduce the Lake Austin shoreline setback on the canal only from 25’ to 10’ D-6/2-PRESENTATION AERIAL D-6/3-PRESENTATION • • • REASONABLE USE The property was platted in 1976 as a single family residential lot. The shoreline setback is measured 25' from all points along both the shoreline of Lake Austin and the canal, making this property unreasonably limited for its intended purpose of residential under the current zoning of LA. Applicant seeks to construct a modest single family residential house, which is a fair and reasonable use in the Lake Austin zoning category, as that category specifically prescribes development of a residential nature. D-6/4-PRESENTATION • • • • • • HARDSHIPS The gross site area is 11,446 square feet, well under the minimum lot size of 1 acre for LA zoning; The area of the Property within the 25’ shoreline setback from the main channel and the canal is 4595 square feet; The total area of the Property outside of the 25’ setbacks is only 6,851 square feet; A large portion of the Property is within the 40’ front street setback; There are large trees located on the Property opposite the canal that constrain development of the site; and The City does not provide sewer service to the Property and requires all drainfields be 50’ from a body of water in every direction. D-6/5-PRESENTATION CHARACTER • • Due to the various site constraints, the proposed construction has a lower impact on the area than neighboring properties given the smaller scale of the proposed house. There will be no adverse impact on adjacent property. D-6/6-PRESENTATION SURVEY D-6/7-PRESENTATION SITE PLAN This site plan shows the impervious cover calculations without the variance.
