Sharlene Leurig 1709B Kinney Avenue Austin, TX 78704 July 21, 2025 Re: 1700 South Lamar, C14-2024-0163 Enclosed: Letter to Stonelake, July 16, 2025 Letter of Agreement, July 20, 2025 Memorandum of Understanding, July 20, 2025 Dear Planning Commission Vice Chair and Members of Planning Commission: I am writing to provide my support for the rezoning of 1700 South Lamar, conditional on execution of an assignable Memorandum of Agreement with the Developer substantially consistent with the draft provided herein as an attachment, and with minor modifications as discussed below. As I provided in written communication to the Commission at your June 2025 meeting, I have owned and lived in a residential property immediately adjoining the property proposed for rezoning since 2013. Management of the property by the prior owner directly affected my quality of life, including disruption from frequent nighttime waste pickup, rodents, odor from port-a-potties placed against my 15 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 91 of 34fence line and violent and loud activities in the unmonitored parking lot at night. I have appreciated efforts by Stonelake Capital, the current landowner, to adjust the time of day of waste pickup as a demonstration of cooperation and goodwill. Unfortunately, Stonelake’s new waste vendor continues to collect waste in the middle of the night, and as such there has been no mitigation of this long- standing nuisance. With this experience ongoing, I requested and received a draft agreement with Stonelake committing to certain terms. These terms include: · Agreement that Stonelake and future title holders will establish a 75’ building setback from the western property line (“the Western Setback”); · Agreement that all trash rooms will be internal and no loading or exterior waste collection zones will face or abut the Western Setback; · Agreement that Stonelake will construct an 8’ fence between our properties at its sole cost and expense; · Agreement that the Western Setback will be a landscaped, publicly accessible and privately maintained space. I am in agreement to the proposed terms in the attached Memorandum, with the following modifications: · Modifying the Memorandum to be a “Memorandum of Agreement” to firm up its enforceability in a Texas court of law; · Given the timeframe of implementation and the potential for transfer of title to another entity before construction is completed, agreement by Stonelake to place $10,000 in escrow to be made available for any legal fees I may need to incur to uphold enforcement of the Memorandum, to be releasable upon issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for any building constructed on proposed Tract 2; · Agreement to modify the following clause in the draft Memorandum as shown (my required amendment in italics): “Within 90 days following the approval of the Rezoning Request from the City of Austin, Applicant will also relocate the existing dumpsters to an alternative location on the Property mutually agreed by the parties.” This last modification is necessary, in my mind, to ensure that the relocation of the existing dumpsters mitigates the noise nuisance to which my family has been subjected for the past ten years. You will note upon review of my letter to Stonelake of July 16, that this proposed deadline for migration of their dumpsters is substantially beyond my proposed window (before Council action on Stonelake’s rezoning case). I believe this is more than fair and an expression of goodwill that should be rewarded with agreement to the terms as proposed herein. My support of Stonelake’s proposed rezoning request is contingent on execution of the draft Memorandum with the amendments described above. In summary, I hope to support the project and request that Planning Commission make its recommendation to Council contingent on execution of the revised Memorandum before Council action is taken on this case. I have shared this viewpoint with Council Members Alter and Qadri and will continue to coordinate with my neighbors as this rezoning case progresses. 15 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 92 of 34 Sincerely, Sharlene Leurig On Tue, Jun 24, 2025 at 9:51 AM Sharlene Leurig < wrote: Sharlene Leurig 1709B Kinney Avenue Austin, TX 78704 June 24, 2025 Re: 1700 South Lamar, C14-2024-0163 Dear Planning Commission Vice Chair and Members of Planning Commission: I am writing to provide my support for the rezoning of 1700 South Lamar, conditional on the written commitment by the Developer to terms articulated herein. Since 2013, I have owned and lived in a residential property immediately adjoining the property proposed for rezoning.

I have appreciated efforts by Stonelake Capital, the current landowner, to adjust the time of day of waste pickup as a demonstration of cooperation and goodwill. I believe the redevelopment of 1700 S Lamar has the potential to significantly improve quality of life for community members and adjoining members. However, the currently proposed plan for the site does not fulfill its potential to create a net positive for the community commensurate to the net positive that the proposed rezoning would achieve for the Developer as it is deficient with respect to public green space and transportation impacts. I believe that both the Developer and the community can achieve mutual benefit through the following written commitments: · Adherence to at least the 75’ setback from the western property line to any building structures, as the Developer has verbally proposed to the community · Placement of all loading zones and waste management zones on the eastern side of building structures, to mitigate noise and odor impacts to neighboring residences · Construction and maintenance of publicly accessible green space in the setback along the western property line · 24-hour security onsite · Shielded lighting to limit light pollution for adjacent residential properties 15 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 93 of 34 · Construction of a traffic light at Evergreen/Collier and Lamar, an intersection which is already unsafe · Completion of sidewalks along both sides of Collier between Lamar and Kinney · Traffic calming measures on Collier between Lamar and Kinney Neighbors requested these terms in a written communication provided to the Developer on June 13, 2025 but have not received a response from the Developer’s representative. It is reasonable for neighbors to expect ongoing communication as this case proceeds. In summary, I hope to support the project and request that Planning Commission make its recommendation to Council contingent on ongoing communications facilitative of written agreement before Council action is taken on this case. I have shared this viewpoint with Council Members Alter and Qadri and will continue to coordinate with my neighbors as this rezoning case progresses.

We are in receipt of your letter dated June 24, 2025 to the Planning Commission Vice Chair and Commissioners, attached hereto as Exhibit A. As you are aware, we have filed an application with the City for a rezoning request to convert the Eastern part of the Property known as Tract 1 to CS-V-DB90 zoning and the Western part of the Property known as Tract 2 to CS-V-CO zoning as shown on Exhibit B (“Rezoning Request”). This application would allow for the development of a new residential mixed- use project (“Project”). The purpose of this letter is to (i) demonstrate our ability to listen to the surrounding neighbors and (ii) offer to take action to improve the neighborhood based on the direct feedback from the surrounding neighbors. Our team believes strongly in the following improvements to the neighborhood, and kindly requests a letter of support from you for the Project. The following documentation and agreements are contingent upon Applicant receiving full approval of the Rezoning Request, without modification, from City Council. 1. Fence Applicant will construct a new fence along the shared property line between the Property and 1707/1709 Kinney Avenue (the “Fence”) as generally depicted on Exhibit C, at Applicant’s cost and expense. a. The Fence to be a minimum of 8 feet in height. b. The Fence will be a low maintenance composite slat fence with steel posts. c. The Fence will be a double-sided fence (i.e., the Fence will be finished on both sides). d. The Fence will be constructed before the final Certificate of Occupancy is issued for any new building on Tract 2 of the Project. e. Applicant’s agreement to construct the Fence shall be documented in a Memorandum of Understanding between you and Applicant which will be executed prior to the day of the City Council public hearing on the Rezoning Request (the “Memorandum of Understanding”) and thereafter held in escrow to be recorded contingent upon Applicant receiving full approval, without modification, of the Rezoning Request by City Council. The Memorandum of Understanding will (i) be recorded in the Official Public Records of Real Property of Travis County, Texas, (ii) run with the land and 15 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 920 of 34(iii) benefit successive owners of your property and burden successive owners of the Property. 2. Adherence to a 75’ Building Setback from Western Property Line a. Applicant agrees to a conditional overlay that will include a 75' building setback from the western Property line. Please see Exhibit D showing the location of the setback line (“Western Setback”). b. Applicant agrees to provide certain improvements in the Western Setback, contingent upon any necessary approvals from the City of Austin. Improvements provided in the Western Setback will include (but are not limited to) sidewalks, privacy fencing along the property line, trees, landscaping, benches, and other hardscape elements. Site development related improvements permitted within the Western Setback may include (but are not limited to) fire lane, drainage, retaining walls, underground utility improvements or those improvements that may be otherwise required by the City of Austin. While the area will be publicly accessible and privately maintained, it will not be classified as any form of a "park" under the City of Austin Land Development Code. c. Applicant commits to include attractively landscaped green space within the Western Setback, which will be publicly accessible but not designated as any type of formal parkland. Please see Exhibit D for a conceptual rendering of the setback area. d. Applicant’s agreement to establish the Western Setback will be documented in the Memorandum of Understanding. 3. No Loading Zones or Waste Management Zones Facing Western Setback a. Applicant confirms that all Project trash rooms will be internal, and no loading or exterior waste collection zones will face or abut the Western Setback. Applicant’s agreement to have no loading or exterior waste collection zones facing or abutting the Western Setback will be documented in the Memorandum of Understanding. b. Furthermore, at additional cost, Applicant has already coordinated with existing service vendors on the Property to shift trash and recycling collection to the hours of 7:00 AM – 9:00 PM in response to your request. c. Within 90 days following the full approval of the Rezoning Request from the City of Austin, Applicant will also relocate the existing dumpsters to an alternative location on the Property. 4. Construction and Maintenance of Green Space along the Western Setback Applicant commits to include attractively landscaped green space within the 75’ building setback, which will be publicly accessible but not designated as any type of formal parkland. Please see Exhibit E for a conceptual rendering of the setback area. 5. Adherence to VMU Exterior Lighting Requirements 2 15 C14-2024-0163 - 1700 South Lamar; District 921 of 34Per City Code, VMU zoning requires fully shielded, downward-facing exterior lighting. Please see Exhibit F for applicable regulations. Applicant will follow all City Code guidelines mandated for construction on the Project. As we discussed in our in-person meeting with you and Drew Zerdicki, Vice Chair of the Zilker Neighborhood Association Zoning Committee, on June 30th, the last three requests in your letter dated June 24, 2025 to the Planning Commission Vice Chair and Commissioners are requests from the Zilker Neighborhood Association, so those requests will be addressed with them separately. We believe this proposal is consistent with our discussions. Our understanding to date is that with these improvements and actions detailed above, you would support the Rezoning Request. If these actions meet your approval, we respectfully request a letter of support for the Rezoning Request be sent to the City Case Manager Marcelle Boudreaux (marcelle.boudreaux@austintexas.gov) by July 21, 2025. Please feel free to share this letter and the attachments with the neighborhood and let us know if you need any further information. Thank you!

Since 2013, I have owned and lived in a residential property immediately adjoining the property proposed for rezoning. Management of the property by the prior owner directly affected my quality of life, including disruption from frequent nighttime waste pickup, rodents, odor from port-a-potties placed against my fence line and violent and loud activities in the unmonitored parking lot at night. I have appreciated efforts by Stonelake Capital, the current landowner, to adjust the time of day of waste pickup as a demonstration of cooperation and goodwill. I believe the redevelopment of 1700 S Lamar has the potential to significantly improve quality of life for community members and adjoining members.

It is reasonable for neighbors to expect ongoing communication as this case proceeds. In summary, I hope to support the project and request that Planning Commission make its recommendation to Council contingent on ongoing communications facilitative of written agreement before Council action is taken on this case. I have shared this viewpoint with Council Members Alter and Qadri and will continue to coordinate with my neighbors as this rezoning case progresses.
