Planning Board, I am one of the owners of 1818 South Lakeshore Blvd., the condominium complex adjacent to this proposed project. I would like to go on record as opposing this request, specifically the portion related to removal of the deed restriction that addresses “for-sale units.” If you review the history of redevelopment of this property dating back to 2005, you will see that a significant amount of green space, trees and public access was removed in order to build the current AMLI buildings. A great amount of energy and time was spent in negotiations between the City, stakeholders, and adjacent property owners crafting the density bonus package and deed restrictions currently on this property. I understand there are housing demands, and the City is looking for increased density, however we should not give away the concept of homeownership for this goal. It was important 15 years ago and even more so now to make available “for sale units” in this area of the City. I am certain AMLI will decry opine that it does not fit into their business practices, or business model. This was their position in 2005 and significant bonuses were received by them at the time of redevelopment. I would ask that this Board and the City insist that AMLI live up to their obligations and that you deny their request. Sincerely , Stephen Tittle Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Hi, Tim Thomas Tuesday, July 28, 2020 9:54 AM Clark, Kate C14-05-0112(RCA2) *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** I would like to add my enthusiastic support for removing the requirement for home ownership on this property and add additional rental units. The majority of the people who live in my neighborhood rent. While opportunities for home ownership sound good in theory, in practice they help to increase segregation the neighborhood. Due to historical structural racism, such as the way the GI Bill was handled, the majority of people with the generational wealth to purchase a home in this area are white, and so saying you prefer home ownership is implicitly saying you would prefer more white people in the neighborhood without having to say it explicitly. These additional rental units will provide additional housing for the people who need it most and I urge you to remove the conditional overlay. Thanks, Tim Thomas 3403 Santa Monica, 78741 CAUTION: This email was received at the …
Backup
Clark, Kate From: Sent: To: Subject: Hedda Elias Thursday, July 23, 2020 12:59 PM Clark, Kate Revised letter for backup Montopolis cases *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** To Ms. Clark: Please either switch out this letter for the one that is already in the backup for these cases, or include it after the other letter. Thank you! I am writing in opposition to cases C14‐2020‐0039, C14‐2020‐0039 & C14‐2020‐0044. Background The same group of developers is asking for zoning changes to SF‐6 on four different lots in Montopolis. According to UT‐ Austin's report Uprooted, my neighborhood is one of the few that can still be saved from gentrification. Two of these cases are on my small street that is already a major bike throuroghfare with no sidewalks and frequent deer crossings, the same street as the 508 Kemp Street case which was approved for SF‐6 zoning at the planning commission meeting June 23. We already have amenities; we don't need developer promises Know that the sites for 200 Montopolis and Clovis/Kemp have direct access to the public trail into Roy G. Guerrero Park, which has scenic views from the lawn and one of the best playgrounds in the city. The Saxon Acres site is across from Civitan Park. Any promises of playgrounds, scenic views or 1 affordable unit ring hollow in these cases, as they did with 508 Kemp St. In reference to C14‐2020‐0030 & C14‐2020‐0039: No direct access to highway right of way nor major street The city staff recommendation states that 200 Montopolis is bordered by the Hwy 183 right of way. This is inaccurate. This land borders the old Montopolis Bridge and the trail that leads into Roy Guerrero Park and the Lady Bird Lake Hike & Bike trail. The Old Montopolis Bridge is being converted into a bike and pedestrian bridge. Furthermore, this is not the main section of Montopolis Drive. It is a tiny road with unmarked lanes and no sidewalks that turns into a right‐turn only lane onto the main Montopolis Drive just past where it intersects with Clovis/Kemp Street. If drivers from either 200 Montopolis or Clovis/Kemp want to go north or south on Hwy 183 (the only way to head into downtown) they will be coming on Kemp Street to mix with the bicycles that already pass, deer that cross the road from one field to the other and kids that …

Jason Lucio 5501 Maple Marsh Ct. Austin, TX 78744 512-694-9377 jasonlucio@gmail.com July 27, 2020 Conor Kenny, Chair Planning Commission Members Planning Commission City of Austin RE: Neighborhood Plan Amendment Case Number: NPA-2016-0014.01.SH Rezoning Case Number: C14-2017-0010.SH Project Location: 4400 Nuckols Crossing Dear Commission Kenny and Planning Commissioners: As a resident of Dove Springs and member of the Arbor Ridge Homeowners Association, roughly 0.9 miles south of the proposed development, I stand in opposition to the amendment to the Southeast Combined Neighborhood Plan from SF-2 to MF-4, as well as the requested zoning change. I am a member of the SCNP Contact Team, a member of the Arbor Ridge Homeowners Association, and have attended the virtual community meetings with the applicant regarding this proposed development. The contact team has a history of supporting responsible development. This development is a project that I would normally support, but not in this specific location, as it is too dangerous. The entrance to the proposed development is on Nuckols Crossing, a substandard road, and is near a blind curve with quickly rising elevation. The proposed development is 100% low-income senior housing. Low-income residents are assumed to be low-income for life. They will need access to public transportation. However, without even sidewalks, the over half-mile trek to nearest public transportation is unacceptable and will put both pedestrian and driver lives at risk. Residents of this development will need to walk over a half-mile south to reach public transportation. The sidewalk starts several hundred feet to the south, and is on the opposite side of the street, with no pedestrian crossing, forcing residents to either jaywalk and dangerously cross traffic, or walk on an unimproved shoulder near a ditch. The other alternative will be to walk north over a half-mile, without a sidewalk, down a hill, around a blind curve, with thick brush on both sides. There are no street lights. We can assume that the low-income residents of the proposed development would use the new public health center planned for Dove Springs. However, there is no public transportation that travels down Nuckols Crossing, which means these senior low-income residents will need to walk over one mile, without access to a sidewalk for almost half a mile, in order to access public services, like the health center, recreation center, or library. The Austin Transportation Department traffic analysis, which has errors as to street width, does not take …

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION / RECOMMENDATION: JULY 14, 2020: [J. THOMPSON; R. SCHNEIDER – 2ND] (12-0) P. SEEGER - ABSENT June 23, 2020: APPROVED POSTPONEMENT REQUEST BY NEIGHBORHOOD TO JULY 14, 2020: CITY COUNCIL ACTION: July 30, 2020: RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMINATION RECORDING NUMBER: ISSUES: No issues were identified for this request. CASE MANAGER COMMENTS: The subject Restrictive Covenant is less restrictive than current compatibility standards by Code. At the time that the subject property zoning was changed from residential to office, the Restrictive Covenant was provided to increase the setback between the office and the houses on Hardy Circle. Applicant is requesting the termination of the Restrictive Covenant which established a twenty- foot building setback from the north property line of the 48,638 square foot tract of land that was rezoned from residential to office in 1973 (Ordinance No. 73 0628-D). 1 of 6B-07 C14-72-032(RCT) 2 The Restrictive Covenant is recorded in volume 4674, page 2281 of the Deed Records of Travis County, Texas. Paragraph number 1. “No Building or any part thereof shall be located within twenty (20) feet of the north property line of said property”. Please refer to Exhibit “A”. The standard building setback to an internal property line, in the office zoning district is five feet when the office is surrounded by other offices or commercial zoning and use. The Restrictive Covenant provided additional setback from the detached family residences on north of the tract being rezoned to office. Compatibility Standards in Article 10 (LDC 25-2-1063) apply to the subject site because it is located next to SF-3-NP zoning and the development site is bigger than 20,000 square feet. The minimum setback is 25 feet from SF-5 or more restrictive zoned land and it applies to the new building, the drive aisle and parking lots. There are also requirements for landscape buffering and screening (LDC 25-2-1066) in the area between multi-family buildings and buildings in the SF-5 or more restrictive districts. BASIS OF RECOMMENDATION: Staff supports the Termination request. The Restrictive Covenant was created in 1973 …
