C-1/1-LATE BACKUP From: To: Subject: Date: Attachments: Stefan Sinclair Ramirez, Elaine C16-2022-0004 : Code variance request for sign on IH-35 Srvc Rd / Delwood2 Thursday, June 09, 2022 9:41:09 AM Sign04_2009.png *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Good morning Ms. Ramirez, My name is Stefan Sinclair, and I live on Bentwood Road in the Delwood 2 neighborhood of Austin TX. We were made aware of a request for variance in sign height for the sign at the law office on the IH-35 service road of our neighborhood, case number C16-2022-0004 - and as a resident in the neighborhood I wanted to voice our household's opposition to this variance request. We feel that an increase in sign height is not warranted, and would have a negative impact on our neighbors who live behind the law office in question requesting the variance. An increase in sign height has the potential to bleed light into the homes behind the law office, and would negatively impact the residential character of our neighborhood. Also, as a long-time resident of the neighborhood, I've observed how the sign has become obscured over time simply by virtue of one tree on the law office property that has grown over time to a height which obscures the sign. An increase in sign height is not going to prevent this tree from continuing to grow and obscure the sign once again at a greater height. Regular pruning of the tree seems a viable alternative. I have attached some photos of the sign and surrounding area to illustrate. Sign01_06082022 was taken yesterday (June 8). It shows the sign as viewed from IH-35. The advertisement portion is clearly visible from the highway, however the digital clock below is obstructed by the tree canopy. Sign02_06082022 taken yesterday shows the same area from the service road height Sign03_06082022 shows the sign as viewed from the sidewalk when walking along the service road. The sign is completely obscured by the tree from this angle. Sign04_2009 is a Google Street View shot of the same area taken in 2009, when the tree on the property was much shorter. As you can see, at that time the advertisement and digital clock were both visible. Thank you for considering our opposition to this request for code variance in this matter. Sincerely, Stefan Sinclair Delwood 2 resident C-1/2-LATE BACKUP C-1/3-LATE BACKUP C-1/4-LATE BACKUP C-1/5-LATE BACKUP C-1/6-LATE BACKUP From: …

Thank you. I was told that replying by email was a satisfactory way to respond to a Public Hearing Notice I recently received in the mail. I am responding to case # C15-2022-0047 for the Board of Adjustment to be heard on June 13, 2022. You are the contact person listed. I object to the proposed code variance request. I feel that instead of reducing the required 10' setback to the proposed 5' on the Rear Yard Setback and compromising their neighbor they should add the 5' they are trying to gain to the front of the Garage/Studio which has ample distance to accommodate the 5'. This added 5' should be on the front side of the building that faces E.46th St. instead of compromising the neighbor and the Rear Yard Setback. Thank you.

Thanks KV. Here it is: I'm here to discuss the developers' request for hardship in comparison to the lot next door. The developer sited the lot next door as the reason for the hardship, and I'd like to tell you about those lots. The property next door has a reasonable sized home and minimal impervious cover and has preserved the heritage oak on the property. The lot next door also has undisturbed non impervious cover to absorb runoff into lake Austin. I don't think there is sufficient hardship for the developers request to increase the impervious cover to the extent they're asking based on the comparison of the lot next door. I'm not against the developer from building on his property, I think the variance should be in line with what is reasonable within the code and based on comparison to other lots. Thanks.
