I read about their original plans to put in a park with native plants and I thought, well at least it will have some redeeming features to compensate for the added traffic and tax on the infrastructure. But now I hear they don't want to set aside the park. That creek is flood prone and there needs to be a big buffer between it and new concrete for the parking lots. A park would be a good way to keep the creek healthy and make for a better environment for the neighborhood. I hope you'll see that the developer's request is denied and the parkland stays in the picture. I live at the east end of Philco Dr and I am looking forward to having a new park nearby.

Congress. I object to the size of the development, and I definitely object to the payment of a fee in lieu of parkland. Williamson Creek is home to a diversity of wildlife. Humans forget that if we drive out all creatures and their habitat we deem beneath us, we ultimately suffer. In our backyard alone, there are barred owls, coyotes, fox, deer, armadillos, racoons, possums, squirrels (red and rock), moon (Mediterranean house) geckos, Texas spiny lizards, anoles, cardinals, blue jays, wrens, titmice, doves, cedar waxwings, fritallary butterflies, monarch butterflies, greater earless lizards, little brown skinks, Gulf Coast toads, red swamp crayfish, Wester ratsnakes, and more. These creatures are important to the ecosystem we inhabit, and need to flourish. We are connected to these animals. If only developers would understand this, the draw of nature, instead of 5 more apartments (and none that help with Austin's struggling affordability and gentrification problem). Parkland right outside your apartment? What a wonderful idea!

This development backs up to my neighborhood, and it's been sad seeing massive buildings tower over us where trees used to be. The Williamson Green Belt runs just south of us (I live at 4505 Garnett St off St. Elmo between 1st and Congress) - and there is some amazing natural beauty there, and I regularly see all sorts of wildlife - deer, coyotes, tons of birds, roadrunners, etc. There is clearly teeming wildlife in that area and I often dreamed how awesome it would be to create a more dedicated trail element to it, much like the Barton Creek Greenbelt is now. Any way to add more park land to this region should not be ignored. The developments have already put my livelihood at risk with massive offers to buy up the very property I rent. I fear I will not live here too much longer because of that. So please do the right thing and hold them accountable and maintain a beautiful Austin for its citizenry.

We have been able to hear both sides regarding intent and specifics for this appeal. We, the SCCNPCT, would like to have access from South Congress Ave through this property as mentioned by the Parks and Recreation Department. Parkland and greenbelts are often rare. Having access so that all area residents may safely enjoy the Central Williamson Creek Greenbelt is critical. The dedicated parkland, parking, and access to it, will provide an opportunity for relaxation and exercise to all residents living within close proximity. This would also leave intact an area for natural plants and species to live. We the SCCNPCT understand if the applicant's request is denied by Planning Commission, PARD and the SCCNPCT will continue to work with the applicant on outstanding issues such as the exact size and boundary of the parkland at the rear of the site along Williamson Creek; and the design of the driveway/public access way to promote safety and use by pedestrians as well as vehicles. As a registered “interested party”, the SCCNPCT, would like to be involved with the progression, access, and design of this parkland dedication that’s being implemented within the contact team area. Our understanding is that park policies, procedures, and rules are in place and maintained. Title 9. Prohibited activities - § 9-4-11 - CAMPING AND OBSTRUCTION IN CERTAIN PUBLIC AREAS PROHIBITED. Another suggestion, would be for future cases such as this one, to include the Neighborhood Plan Contact Team with discussions, before, during, and continuing after site plan approval. Neighborhood Contact Teams should be “interested parties” to all projects within their boundaries. Additionally, the “fee in lieu of” the least desirable cheapest smallest unit is nowhere near the cost of “fee in lieu” calculations need to generally be reexamined, as the payoff cost from developers does not align with the current costs for land, development, and housing in Austin. It is our understanding that the funds accumulated by the “fee in lieu” of process, are to be deployed within the surrounding neighborhoods. Please deny this appeal. We need more parkland access within the City of Austin, especially within the East South Congress area. Thank you, Mario Cantu, Keena Miller, Gwen Jewiss, & SCCNPCT 15 of 20B-8NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING SITE PLAN APPEAL Este aviso le informa de una audiencia pública tratando de un propuesto desarrollo o cambio dentro de una distancia de 500 pies de su propiedad.
