The school is selling a portion of its property (bordered by Patton Ranch Road, School Road, and Vega Avenue) for dense residential development. The property (hereafter referred to as the parcel in question) is currently zoned for Limited Density (MF-1-NP). St. Andrews School has requested that the zoning be revised to MF-4-NP to allow for construction of a 295-unit apartment development. We, the Oak Park Subdivision Association Executive Committee, represent affected property owners. We have substantial concerns regarding the proposed rezoning for the following reasons: 1. SAS has provided no planning proposal to the Oak Park Subdivision. 2. This rezoning request contradicts the existing Oak Hill Combined Neighborhood Plan. 3. Existing flooding risks will grow. 4. Excessive traffic congestion and safety concerns are likely. 5. Further overcrowding of Oak Hill Elementary School is likely. No educational impact study has been conducted. 6. Environmental impact of the planned development has not been assessed. 7. Historic Landmark buildings on the parcel in question are in peril. See discussion of each reason below. 1. SAS has provided no planning proposal to the Oak Park Subdivision. In the past, the Oak Park Subdivision Association Executive Committee has communicated closely with SAS about several issues, including flooding and flood mitigation, the Harper Park Subdivision, and the sale and rezoning of the parcel in question to Rawson-Saunders School, which was sold back to SAS and on which this development is now proposed to be built. Rezoning to MF-4-NP greatly impacts our community, but SAS did not communicate with us. We heard belatedly from the Oak Hill Neighborhood Association about these plans. We have not been provided any plans, maps, conceptual designs, schematics, or other data. 2. This rezoning request contradicts our existing Oak Hill Combined Neighborhood Plan.

My name is Melinda Barsales and I live at 4114 East 12th Street in a home built in 1964 original to this area of East Austin. I am writing to the Planning Commission today to express my concerns regarding Zoning Case C14-2020-0089, Twelfth and Springdale Residences, Item 6 on today’s agenda. Not only do I believe the zoning change from GR-MU-NP to GR-MU-V-NP is unnecessary, but due to this tract’s proximity to the historic African-American burial ground of Bethany Cemetery, I strongly believe that a downzoning of this tract should be proposed. The Martin Luther King Neighborhood Association is currently in the process of collecting signatures for a valid petition for this case. I have been made aware that the signature of the representative for Bethany Cemetery, Ms. Sue Spears, will not be considered valid unless we can furnish written proof that she has been given authority on such matters from the property owners in spite of the fact that her name appears on the TCAD for the cemetery, that notice of the proposed rezoning was sent care of Ms. Spears, and that City contractors, Davey Resource Group, sought out her consent for a vegetation work plan on the cemetery’s grounds. Ownership of the property at 1308 Springdale Road was transferred to the Bethany Cemetery Association in 1976. The members are now all deceased and the association defunct. Ms. Spears, who grew up in this neighborhood and attended Sims Elementary across the street from the cemetery, has been the steward for this neglected burial ground and was instrumental in securing historic status for the site. Through her dedication to the cemetery she facilitated a program for maintenance of the grounds through the Travis County Sheriff’s SWAP program. Due to the undetermined status of ownership for the cemetery, I strongly encourage the Planning Commission to postpone making any recommendation in this case until it is determined who has the authority to speak for its deceased owners and those interred on its grounds.

BASIS FOR STAFF’S RECOMMENDATION: . The applicant is proposing an affordable housing multifamily development and is requesting a change in the future land use map from Civic to Multifamily. Staff recommends the applicant’s request for Multifamily land use because the property in located in an area with multifamily zoning directly to the north and east of the property. The East Riverside/Oltorf Combined Neighborhood Plan future land use map does not have a land use designation on the properties surrounding the site with multifamily zoning. These properties were removed from the future land use map during the neighborhood planning process with the intent to revisit them in the future. The properties without a land use designation are primarily zoned multifamily and commercial. The neighborhood plan document supports affordable housing, although it specifies for only specific properties in the planning area. Staff believes the City’s need for affordable housing should be broadened to meet the affordable housing needs of the City.

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.

Initiation of code amendment regarding City Code Title 25 relating to sign regulations in the University Neighborhood Overlay (UNO) District. Staff Memorandum: http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=340844 Minutes: http://www.austintexas.gov/edims/document.cfm?id=347760
sANA June 27,2020 Dear Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, and Council Members The Springdale-Airport Neighborhood Association (SANA) supports the request for Planned Unit Development (PUD) zoning at 10ll and 1017 Springdale Rd. The developer has presented SANA with a proposal that includes, among other things, increased height, while also providing environmental and community benefits. These include restoring much of the vegetation and creek areas, providing a public trail easement, staying significantly below allowable impervious cover, and helping fund affordable housing. For years, this property was a tank farm, until the community successfully pushed to have it closed. By restoring many of the natural areas here, we believe this development is helping address the tank farm's legacy of environmental damage. In addition, we also support the proposal's consideration of the community's current and future needs. While the fact that this property was a tank farm prevents a residential development here, the developer has proposed to help fund affordable housing for the community and to provide a 50 ft. trail easement to connect the neighborhood to a future City trail south of the property. SANA supports this request for PUD zoning, which would secure these environmental and community benefits, and in retum would grant the applicant's request for the ability to build up to I5 ft. of height at 85 ft. from nearby single-family lots and up to 90 ft. of height at 140 ft. On a personal note, as someone who saw firsthand what the tank farm did to friends and family, I look forward to seeing this site turned into a project focused on sustainability and the environment. We appreciate your consideration. Sincerely, Pt R (..r-.^o. Pete Rivera, President
