REASONABLE USE • The legal tract located at 1401 E. 3rd St. is 4,852 SF and has had on-site utility service and other improvements since 1926. • The original residence was demolished in 2017 and a new residential permit application was submitted to city of Austin. • Said application was approved by city of Austin and a new single-family residence was constructed in accordance with the approved plans. • The plot plan was accurate and was based on the accurate survey; however, an incorrect version of the survey was used to set the construction forms. HARDSHIP § A survey error based on confusing ROW widths in the adjacent alley created a 2.7’ side yard setback during construction of the SFR & accessory apartment. § This was not known until contractor called for final inspection and certificate of occupancy and preparation of the owner occupying the residence. § Surveyor then surveyed entire block alley in order to understand where error was created. § The intersection of the rear public alley and intersecting Navasota Street have varying widths. These intersecting ROWs allowed multiple opportunities for error. NOT GENERAL TO THE AREA § The new single-family residence has a varying encroachment into the 5’ side yard setback, creating a side yard setback ranging from 2.77’ to 4.0’. § There are no known examples like this in the immediate area, but is probable in the larger east Austin geography. § This small setback encroachment does not impair the intent of the zoning regulations, nor does it have any adverse impact on adjacent or surrounding properties. § All inspections have passed except the building permit’s final inspection. The Certificate of Occupancy can be granted if the variance is approved 1401 E 3 RD ST – PLAT 1401 E 3 RD ST – PLAT

3409 NEAL STREET AUSTIN, TX 78702 Case # C15-2020-0003 May 11, 2020 3409 NEAL STREET – MAP VIEW 3409 NEAL STREET – AERIAL VIEW VARIANCE REQUEST • Requesting a variance from Section 25-2-492 from the lot width requirements to decrease the minimum lot width from 50 feet (required) to 33.59 feet (requested) in order to construct a Single Family Residence in an SF-3-NP zoning district – Neighborhood zoning district. (Govalle Neighborhood Plan) REASONABLE USE • A single family residential use in an SF-3 zoned lot is reasonable. A lot less than 50’ in width is not uncommon and should not prevent the proposed use from occurring in the highest and best manner. HARDSHIP § The original plat date of 1937 contemplated single family residential use on this lot. It is not uncommon for lots in the urban core, especially among those located in east Austin, to have been illegally subdivided at some point via metes and bounds or other methods. The City of Austin Water Utility is requiring a specific water line placement which located said line on the proposed flag lot's pole, creating an addition 15.5' bump out from the 15' pole frontage at the right-of-way. In turn, this creates an approximate 33.59 remainder length for the adjacent, proposed lot shown as lot 3A. If the additional 15.5' was not required by the City of Austin lot 3A would be 49.01' wide, less than one foot shy of the required 50' width outlined in the SF-3 performance standards. Denying this variance request would result in less density in the Urban Core, where density is very much needed. The existing 64' lot width is a function of an illegal subdivision of the 128' wide lot 3 Cherico Subdivision. Approving this variance would allow the subdivision application to be approved and the proposed lots built to their highest and best use. NOT GENERAL TO THE AREA § There are no known lots in the immediate area attempting to resolve an illegal subdivision via 2 lot subdivision. AREA OF CHARACTER § Approving a variance for lot width reduction bas zero adverse impact on adjacent lots. The lot in question, lot 3A, is 64.09 SF and compliant with minimum lot size requirements. East Austin is full of numerous odd shaped and sized residential lots. None of these were part of any master planned community, and over time were split from their original configuration …
