I'm writing to you today to urge the city to reject the developer's appeal to forego the requirement for a public easement leading to the Williamson Creek Greenbelt. The requirement for a public easement is hardly onerous, and would ensure that this part of the city progresses in its development towards being more vibrant and pedestrian friendly. Thanks for your time. I hope you take this into consideration. Best, Daniel Sullivan CAUTION: This email was received at the City of Austin, from an EXTERNAL source.

I live within walking distance to the greenbelt and would like to be able to use the trail the city is developing. The developers of "The Bend" at 4802 S Congress, want to build 125 condos on a former used car lot. Their 5.3 acre lot includes Williamson Creek frontage, in an area that the City are trying to open up as a creekside trail. The development code requires high density developments like this to dedicate part of their land for parks use, in this case just over 2 acres. That shouldn't be a problem, as 1.8 acres of the site are in the floodplain, and so can't be used for anything else. However this parkland is useless without public access from Congress Avenue, and the developers are reluctant to grant that, fearing liability issues if traffic entering the development collides with visitors. The problem can be seen at http://thebendaustin.com where the site plan shows the building (in orange) crammed into the front part of the site, leaving just enough space for an access driveway. The gap between driveway and southern boundary leaves little room for a sidewalk. Without public access the dedicated parkland is useless. The Developer is trying to appeal to the Planning Commision, with a hearing set for February 9th at 6pm. Case# SP-2019-0600C. We need to insist on a public access easement. The developers have been trying to sell units since last fall, advertising them as "under construction", when they haven't even got a site plan approved as of yet. Please consider the neighbors to this space when making your decision. Thank you.

I strongly oppose this and cannot imagine that this would be favorable to the City of Austin. Taking away the parkland will prohibit access to walking trails as well as not allowing a neighborhood access to the greenbelt. The lack of green space for wildlife impacts them as well. I think it’s time that developers need to conform to what residents want.

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.
