Postponement of Case #C14-2034-0080, 5931 and 6003 1/2 Dillard Circle To: Anderson, Greg - BC <bc-Greg.Anderson@austintexas.gov> Cc: Hadri, Cynthia <Cynthia.Hadri@austintexas.gov>; Bray, Timothy <Timothy.Bray@austintexas.gov>; Matt Franklin ; Cynthia Waring ; Cathy Bartley Tony Sansevero ; Carol Olewin ; Kim At Mothers Milk Bank; Amanda Brown <amanda.brown@hdbrownconsulting.com>; Rindy Fox ; Gahl Shalev Urban Geneis.docx; The impacted residents of the Skyview Neighborhood in District 4, are requesting a postponement of Case # C14-2024-0080 on 5931 and 6003 1/2 Dillard Circle, until the developer has addressed the enclosed concerns of the residents.  Because of the new DB-90 compatibility changes, this development will have a huge negative effect on the single family homes and the neighborhood adjoining the development, including a massive decrease in property values.  Skyview is a 1950’s established Austin neighborhood.  The residents of this lovely, diverse community are a blend of ethnicity, ages, occupations, incomes, families and singles, and owners and renters. We request that you give us equal consideration as to these zoning changes, especially in how the DB-90 compatibility changes will impact our single family homes and neighborhoods.

I am in review of the numerous public documents which have been submitted identifying areas of concern. I similarly hold these concerns. Mr. Franklin submitted an email to you on June 4,2024 that captured them well.   In addition, I want to address the impact that approval of this application and complex may have on property values. Several factors, as previously mentioned, are at play. Clearly there will be an aesthetic impact on the property with such a large development in our backyard(visual, sound and light pollution), coupled with potential environmental impacts. Lastly, factors that may benefit property values, such as opportunities to improve the community with appropriate retail, are being dismissed in this application.  As I am new to this ongoing discussion, can you please share more information about the upcoming meeting date on August 13.  Further, is there a site where I can gather more information about the proposed build by Urban Genesis. I believe it is the Midtown Highline Phase 2 (sadly, already on their website), however I am unable to find additional information. Thank you.   Kimberly Eerkes 306 E.
