Site Overview The site consists of a tract of approximately 34.40 acres, located at 11213 FM 620 Road. The site consists of 4 parcels; the northern three parcels consisting of 9.4 acres are located in the City of Austin’s full purpose jurisdiction and the Birden tract, a 25-acre parcel, is located in the City’s 2- Mile ETJ and is adjacent to Council District 6. The site is in the Bull Creek Watershed, Water Supply Suburban, and the Drinking Water Protection Zone, and the Northern Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. Service Extension Requests have been made on this site previously and were not recommended by Watershed Protection Department Staff. In 2016, a wastewater service extension request (SER #3880) was made for Broadstone 620/Birden Multi-family, a proposed multifamily development with 336 units on the southern 25-acre portion of the site. The SER was considered by the Environmental Commission on November 16, 2016, and the commission recommended against approval. Subsequently, the Water and Wastewater Commission did not make a recommendation on the SER and the applicant withdrew the service extension request. The staff memo, proposed SER, and Environmental Commission recommendation are attached as Exhibit A. 1 In 2018, water and wastewater SERs #4098 and 4099 were submitted for the …

Residents of the neighborhoods surrounding Williamson Creek have enjoyed this natural beauty for more than 20 years. Community efforts over a number of years, including trash pick-ups, tree planting and the removal of invasive species, have resulted in improving the health of the creek and supporting the native flora and fauna. Central Williamson Creek Greenway is slowly becoming a more welcoming green space for residents to connect with nature and for nature to thrive. We are thrilled to envision the future of a place we love so dearly with the Central Williamson Creek Greenway Vision Plan. This Vision Plan represents a 12-month process of both Williamson Creek Working Group (WCWG) formal and creative efforts to engage the community and input derived from public engagement. Community engagement activities included: community members recording their own oral histories through WCWG interviews; virtual community picnics virtual mapping enabling community to propose ideas such as food forest planting and hiking trails in and around the creek; several in-person and socially-distanced “Creek Chats” to engage the community; and a final community picnic to unveil …

Staff Determination: Yes The Omni Business Park commercial subdivision was approved in C8-93-0091.0A. Development, including drainage improvements, office buildings, and driveways have been constructed within this subdivision. As such, this project has certain vested rights to the 1993 Land Development Code, as approved by the Development Services Department, per the findings: “development within this subdivision has occurred under the rules and regulations based on the 1993 project… It is determined that the 1993 project has met progress and is an ongoing project.” With this context, without the variance, the applicant would be deprived of a privilege available to owners of similarly situated property with approximately contemporaneous development subject to similar code requirements. Current code allows for administrative variance approval of cut or fill up to 8’, but the code in effect at the time of vesting did not allow for such administrative approvals.

To: Linda H. Guerrero, Chair, City of Austin Environmental Commission, and Honorable Environmental Commissioners Memo From: Lincoln Ventures LLC Date: March 11, 2021 Re: Site: Court of Three Sisters Reasonable Use Memorandum The 0.43-acre piece of property located at 504 W 24th St. and 2405 Nueces Street in Austin, Travis County, Texas 78705 (the “Property”). 200 Lee Barton Drive, Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78704 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com SITE CONDITIONS: Currently, the entire site is being operated as a multi-tenant retail center (largely vacant) with surface parking. The site is currently 80% impervious cover. REQUEST: There are two heritage trees on the site – one (1) 25’’ Pecan and one (1) 32’’ Red Oak – that are being requested for removal. Both trees are centrally located on the Property. See Exhibit A for tree locations. EXHIBIT A: Site Constraints Exhibit Tree locations of 25’’ Pecan (#911) and 32’’ Red Oak (#913) with 12-foot stepback around site. Stepback CONSTRAINTS: The Property consists of approximately 0.43 acres (18,944 SF), is zoned CS-NP (Commercial Services – Neighborhood Plan) and is located in the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) in the Inner West Campus subdistrict. The Inner West Campus subdistrict allows for a density premium of between 175 feet to 300 feet so long as 20% of the units (or beds) are reserved as affordable, including 10% that will be reserved for people making a maximum of 60% of the median income and another 10% for those making a maximum of 50% of the median income. Per § 25-2-758 (B)(1), Building Wall Height, Stepbacks, and Envelope, a 12-foot stepback on West 24th Street, Nueces Street and San Antonio Street is required. This stepback impedes the footprint of the site thereby limiting the development and reducing the developable footprint by approximately 20%. The trees requested for removal on the site are located in the middle of the site. Given their location and existing canopy, the trees impact approximately 25% of the site. 200 Lee Barton Drive, Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78704 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com The onsite trees are located on the only portion of the site that is wide enough to support a ramp for structured parking, thus severely impacting the reasonable use of the Property for a residential tower. Leaving the trees will prohibit the ability to provide structured parking and results in a 50% reduction in gross square feet of developable …

Tree Evaluation Measurements The subject trees are one heritage 32” red oak (#913) and one heritage 25” pecan (# 911). 3 Tree #913 red oak Canopy Conditions Major asymmetry, unbalanced crown, and an overextended limb (Exhibit 1). Structure/Trunk Multiple attachments - all the leaders of the tree are connected at one place on the trunk. This is inherently a weakness with this tree's union due to lack of branch taper (Exhibit 2). Included bark was observed between two unions where stems grow closely together causing weak, under-supported branch angles which may cause branch or total tree failure (Exhibit 3).
