E-2 C15-2014-0174 Gardner Summer, Zilker Neighborhood Association 2015 Goodrich Avenue The applicant has requested the Board of Adjustment to interpret whether staff erred in issuing a building permit at 2015 Goodrich Avenue because: A. per Section 25-2-496 (D) (Site Development Regulations) the actual lot size is in question; and B. per Section 25-2, Subchapter F, (Residential Design and Compatibility Standards), Article 3. Definitions and Measurement, Section 3.3.the plans for the first and second floor appear to be drawn to the outer edge of the wood framing and not the outside surface of the exterior walls; and C. per Section 25-2, Subchapter F, (Residential Design and Compatibility Standards), Article 3. Definitions and Measurement, Section 3.3. Gross Floor Area, 3. Porches, basements and attics that meet the following requirements shall be excluded from the calculation of gross floor area: C. A habitable portion of an attic, if: 1. The roof above it is not a flat or mansard roof and has a slope of 3 to 12 or greater; 2. It is fully contained within the roof structure; 3. It has only one floor; 4. It does not extend beyond the footprint of the floors below; 5. It is the highest habitable portion of the building, or a section of the building, and adds no additional mass to the structure; and 6. Fifty percent or more of the area has a ceiling height of seven feet or less. The applicant asserts that the building permit plans for construction show: 1. The dormers are not fully contained within the roof structure contrary to requirement #2; and 2. The dormers add additional mass to the structure contrary to requirement #5; and 3. The third floor deck (called a “roof deck” in the habitable attic plans) is accessible from the “habitable attic”, which while the deck itself would not be subject to McMansion FAR, the fact that it exists supports the contention that the habitable attic is actually a third floor rather than a fully contained attic; and D. per Section 25-2-496 (D) (Site Development Regulations) the application has differing methods of calculating impervious cover for the lot in the plans submitted and approved for a permit to construct a single family home in an “SF-3”, Family Residence zoning district.

Parker for David King 904 Jessie Street The applicant has requested the Board of Adjustment to interpret whether staff erred in issuing a building permit at 904 Jessie Street because: A. per Section 25-2, Subchapter F, (Residential Design and Compatibility Standards), Article 3. Definitions and Measurement, Section 3.3. Gross Floor Area, the plans submitted do not appear to be drawn to the outer edge of the wood framing; and B. per Section 25-2, Subchapter F, (Residential Design and Compatibility Standards), Article 3. Definitions and Measurement, Section 3.3. Gross Floor Area, 2. A.3., the plans submitted measure the full length of the entire carport which is not needed in calculating the north side opening; and C. per Section 25-2, Subchapter F, (Residential Design and Compatibility Standards), Article 3. Definitions and Measurement, Section 3.3. Gross Floor Area, 2. A.3, the plans submitted allow an exemption even though the north side is obstructed by a covered entryway in the permit plan review application to construct a single family home at this lot in an “SF-3”, Family Residence zoning district. The public hearing was closed on Chair Jeff Jack motion to close the public hearing. Chair Jack asked Vice Chair Melissa Hawthorne to serve as chair for the following motions: A. per Section 25-2, Subchapter F, (Residential Design and Compatibility Standards), Article 3. Definitions and Measurement, Section 3.3. Gross Floor Area, the plans submitted do not appear to be drawn to the outer edge of the wood framing; Motion by Jeff Jack to affirm city staff and appellants position that the correct way to determine the gross floor area of a plan is to measure from the outside of the exterior wall finish to the outside of the exterior wall finish. Passed on a 7-0 vote B. per Section 25-2, Subchapter F, (Residential Design and Compatibility Standards), Article 3. Definitions and Measurement, Section 3.3. Gross Floor Area, 2. A.3., the plans submitted measure the full length of the entire carport which is not needed in calculating the north side opening; and Motion by Jeff Jack to affirm city staff’s interpretation on the correct way to measure the length of a carport wall with the stipulation that the adjacent parking space have a minimum dimension of 8’- 6” wide by 17’ deep. Passed on a 7-0 vote C. per Section 25-2, Subchapter F, (Residential Design and Compatibility Standards), Article 3. Definitions and Measurement, Section 3.3. Gross Floor Area, 2. A.3, the plans submitted allow an exemption even though the north side is obstructed by a covered entryway Motion by Jeff Jack to reverse the city staff’s interpretation with the following interpretation. That if a carport has a garage door on a side that is not counted toward one of the two sides that must be open, then a wall of the house parallel to the open side of the carport must have at least a 20 foot separation from the carport if the carport and adjacent house walls are in line with each other. (as per Daniel Word - The concern is that by stating that the carport and adjacent walls are “in line” with each other, it could be viewed that so long as the front of the carport and the front wall are offset by any amount, then they are not “in line” and the interpretation would not apply.) It is the finding of the Board that there is reasonable doubt or difference of interpretation as to the specifics of the intent of the regulations, the resulting interpretation will not grant a special privilege to one property inconsistent with other properties or uses similarly situated and granting the appeal would permit a use in character with the rules of the district in questions. Passed by a vote of 7-0 H.
