Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Hi, Tim Thomas Tuesday, July 28, 2020 9:50 AM Clark, Kate C14-2020-0056 1 *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I would like to add my support for removing the drive‐through conditional overlay for case C14‐2020‐0056 1. Currently the only walkable option for food in this area is the Chevron at Pleasant Valley and Oltorf. It is within walking distance of where Mike Ramos was killed by police. Even in the correspondence you have received so far it is clear that the entire point of opposing this change is to keep working class people away from the more affluent neighborhoods at the top of Oltorf and Wickersham. Neighborhoods where homes are fast approaching a million dollars. While I'm an avid supporter of active transportation and support getting rid of *all* drive throughs I do not support allowing home owners to prevent drive‐throughs in their neighborhoods and pushing them into poorer ones. I don't support their desire to, as one EROC Contact Team Member put it, "attract a clean business to our area". Structural racism in Austin is built upon these small conditional overlays. If you look at a 1 mile radius of this house you'll see that the Contact Team has littered every single undeveloped property with poison pills to prevent development in the form of conditional overlays. You have a chance to fight this structural racism and by saying no to the contact team.

We are adamantly opposed to having a drive thru service facility as our next door neighbors. This would totally disrupt the community environment of our property. As I have seen in the report from the emails, this is a high traffic area on the corner, and putting a drive thru there would negatively effect our property, and pose an increased risk of traffic accidents. The other board members, and owners on the property all agree. You will need to discuss other options because we are not going to allow a drive thru to be built at this location. Many people walk and ride their bikes around that corner and a drive thru poses an increased risk of injury to bike and foot pedestrians. You can feel free to email me back.
