3002 SCENIC DR BOAT DOCK REPLACEMENT Permit/Case: 2020-000042 BA Applicant: Rick Rasberry Homeowner: Meredith Dreiss (available to answer questions by phone) Description: Remove the existing non-compliant dock and replace a with compliant dock per the same and congruent previous City authorizations, as allowed for, in the approved and released Site Plan Permit SP-01-0251D We feel that it is worth mentioning again that the current owner acquired the property with a belief that the dock was compliant and conforming with City rules. LDC Chapter 25-2-893 provides for a dock as an accessary use to a principal residence, and site plan SP-01-0251D permitted a 22’X30’ dock on the site. As we have discussed previously, the existing dock is substantially non-compliant and the current owner has taken exceptional actions to propose a conforming replacement design that would utilize the existing steel pilings on land. Eliminating piling removal/replacement on land would undoubtedly be the most environmentally protective approach for the site plan dock replacement work. City staff have maintained that the proposed 22’X30’ dock would not qualify for replacement under the “Site Plan Remove and Replacement” rules enumerated in LDC Chapter 25-5 since it would have to be “totally demolished.” It is our interpretation that the replacement rules, do in fact, allow for a person to develop or use the land for a dock with the same conditions as approved and released by the city on April 18, 2002. We do not find where the LDC Chapter 25-5, Site Plan Remove and Replacement Rules, prohibits demolition with any proposed site plan replacement work. The proposed work to “replace” the dock does not include “total demolition” as the existing structural pilings would remain in congruence per the City’s April 18, 2002 approval provided in SP-01-0251D. Regarding any hardship findings, we believe that denial of the proposed replacement dock could result in an increased risk of environmental harm and/or hardship to the land/waterway, since any revised major dock designs would necessitate removing and replacing the structural pilings. Any increased disturbance to the shoreline and areas near critical environmental features presents a greater risk of harm/hardship to water quality and the environment. We believe there are also a number of economic and personal hardships that the owner is confronting since the reliance interest, the 22’X30’ footprint of accessory dock for which the owner decided their property affairs, and acquired at the time of purchase of the legal …

Re: 3612 Govalle Ave The Govalle Neighborhood Association supports the variance at 3612 Govalle Ave. Maintaining the house in the front helps maintain the character of the neighborhood which is rapidly being whipped away by developers. In fact, the Land Development Code revision that was proposed last year had a provision wherein if a developer maintained the front facade of the house then greater density could be built on the lot. Applicant is not asking for greater density or an increase in the allowable permeable cover, rather applicant is asking to maintain the house in the front and build a larger house in the back, a reverse of the typical large house in front and ADU in the back. Additionally, the surrounding lots also have similar density in the back. For these reasons the Govalle Neighborhood Association supports this variance. July 18, 2020 Sincerely, /Jessica L.

FOURTH WORKSHOP, LLC 4304 Caswell Avenue Austin, TX 78751 23 October 2020 Ms. Elaine Ramirez, et. al. Board of Adjustment Austin, TX Re: 901 Terrell Hill Drive Request for Variance from the Land Development code, Section 25-2-492 Dear Members of the Board of Adjustment, Thank you for the second opportunity to speak about the property located at 901 Terrell Hill Drive. We have chosen to focus our efforts on requesting a variance from the Land Development Code, Section 25-2-492 (Site Development Regulations), which reduces the minimum front yard setback requirement from 25'-0" to 15'-0.” We no longer seek a variance that qualifies the garage, below the main level, as a basement. As confirmed by members of The Board in the October hearing, the property suffers from two characteristics that qualify as hardships: (1) a pie shape and (2) a steep slope. The widest portion of the lot occurs at the front of the property; and additionally, the grade slopes ten feet across the width of the lot and twenty-one feet from the rear to the front. The Owners purchased the property in 2014, with an intent to upgrade the existing house to suit their needs. After replacing appliances and cosmetically updating the interiors, the City informed them that the house, as it stood, was not code compliant. The roof structure, foundation, and wiring all needed to be brought up to code before a final CO could be given. As such, no permitted work could be pursued without a structural update and electrical service and wiring update which was not worth pursuing given the other limitations they were already working around and other quality issues they uncovered along the way. Faced with the decision of whether to invest a significant sum toward renovation, or else allocate those funds toward new construction, the Owners chose to remove and donate all of the improvements to Austin Habitat for Humanity ReStore and then demolish the home and design a new one—tailored specifically to them. Seven years and ~$700,000 dollars later, they are now requesting a variance that will deliver a quality design to the site, satisfy their immediate neighbor’s requests, and deliver their usability requirements. The variance is not being requested to maximize size of structure, conditioned space, FAR exemptions or project costs. As the fourth architectural outfit that the Owners have hired, we can speak to the myriad designs that fit on the …

I am writing for the members of this HOA and would like to submit the following information: 1230 Rockcliff Rd is a small lot and the current owner was aware of the size restrictions on that property when purchased. The lot is bordered by a “canal” on the south side which leads to a waterway 900-1000 feet long running north along the side of Rockcliff Rd. The residents of the properties on the waterway have 12 docks (and one not completed) and currently have 15 boats. Their only access to Lake Austin is via the canal adjacent to the above property. With no control of the boat size, speed or wave making capacity on Lake Austin, getting to and from the lake can be challenging. For safety reasons, these residents need a clear view of the lake. Building within 10 feet of the canal would create a danger for them. As I am scheduled for some cancer surgery on November 9th, I will be unable to attend the meeting. Could you please submit this information for me? Craig C. Kuglen CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.
