Hwy 290 Service Road, as presented on May 18, 2020, conforms with City Design Standards. This recommendation comes with the stipulation that 1) the proposed public sidewalk, leading from the Service Road to the building, is relocated further west away from the private drive where it will provide safer access for pedestrians and 2) that shade trees be appropriately placed along the length of this sidewalk. Rationale: This letter is to confirm the Design Commission’s support of the Travis County Fire/EMS Station project, located at 5410 W. Hwy 290 Service Road, as presented on May 18, 2020.

The project will not increase the existing impervious cover. 3. The project proposes to reduce the number of existing curb cuts on the Service Road.

If you feel that you cannot cast a well-informed vote based upon the information you have in your possession, you may choose not to vote on an item. Participating in the discussion but removing yourself from the vote is called “abstaining”. • When you sign this Attendance, Recusal, and Abstention Sheet, indicate you will abstain and the item on which you will abstain; • If you choose to abstain during the meeting, please remember to add your abstention to this Attendance, Recusal, and Abstention Sheet; • Publicly state your abstention; • Ask that the minutes of the vote reflect your abstention; • You may or may not choose to take part in the discussions leading up to the vote.
