Box 1088 Austin, TX 78767-1088 Subject: Formal Opposition to Proposed Zoning Change - Case C14-2025-0064 Dear Ms. Estrada, This letter serves as my formal complaint and continued strong opposition to the proposed zoning change, Case Number C14-2025-0064, affecting the area near Trelawney and Galsworthy in the 78739 zip code. This letter is submitted in follow-up to our recent email correspondence. As a resident of this neighborhood, my family and I made the significant decision to purchase our home based, in large part, on the existing commercial zoning of the adjacent open space. This specific zoning designation was a crucial factor in our home-buying process and directly contributed to the value proposition that attracted us to this community. Any alteration to this zoning directly impacts our property's value and the established character of our neighborhood. In addition to the concerns outlined above, I wish to emphasize several other critical negative impacts of this proposed zoning change: ● School Infrastructure: The increased residential density will place additional strain on Kiker Elementary and other local schools that are already operating at or beyond capacity. This will inevitably lead to overcrowding, larger class sizes, and a diminished educational experience for our children. ● Traffic and Safety: Our neighborhood roads and the Mopac corridor are already significantly congested during peak hours. Adding a substantial residential development will exacerbate these existing traffic problems, leading to longer commute times, increased frustration, and creating considerable safety concerns for pedestrians, cyclists, and existing residents due to higher vehicle volumes. ● Quality of Life: The proposed development will inevitably lead to increased noise levels, particularly from construction and a higher density of residents, and greater light pollution. These changes will fundamentally alter the peaceful, established character of our neighborhood. Residents who chose to live in Circle C for its current quiet environment and quality of life will face a significant degradation in their living 02 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 8130 of 139 conditions. ● Environmental Impact: The influx of new residents living in this area 24/7 will create ongoing environmental pressures, including increased demand on water resources, greater waste generation, and potential impacts on …

July 20, 2026 Liz Johnston, Environmental Officer Austin Watershed Protection 6310 Wilhelmina Delco Drive Austin, TX 78752 Via Electronic Delivery Re: 3900 W. Howard Lane – Environmental Variance Request for the 170.178-acre property located at 3900 W. Howard Lane, Austin, TX 78728, comprised of TCAD ID 0267110101 (the "Property") Dear Ms. Johnson: The following request is on behalf of Otsuka ICU Medical LLC ("Owner") for approval of an environmental variance in connection with the proposed Great Wave development (“D” permit (2025170-D)) at 3900 W. Howard Lane, Austin, TX 78728 ("Project"). The Project proposes a new manufacturing facility for ICU Medical which will be permitted under the “C” permit (2025170-C). A variance of the following code sections is requested under the “D” permit: • • Land Development Code ("LDC") §25-8-341 (Cut Requirements): o Allow cut greater than 4’, up to 20’ of cut. Land Development Code ("LDC") §25-8-342 (Fill Requirements): o Allow fill greater than 4’, up to 20’ of fill. An existing medical facility building occupies the southern portion of the site. The proposed structure, located on the northern portion of the property, is constrained by the existing development and its established grades. Additionally, the natural topography of the site has significant variation, with the highest elevation located at the northwest corner. To accommodate the intended use of the structure, a single finished floor elevation with level docking and loading areas is required. The large, level footprint of the building results in cut at the northern end of the structure and fill at the southern end of the structure, both exceeding code requirements for a finished floor elevation of 813.60 NAVD88. While the proposed grading will transition to the existing grades at the limits of construction, the existing medical facility has a finished floor of 806.40 +/- NAVD88. The difference in finished floor elevations is due to the natural topography of the site and the presence of shallow bedrock at the northern portion of the site. To limit the disturbance of the site, the following mitigation measures are proposed: retaining walls along the McNeil Merriltown Road frontage, 2.79 acres of native restoration planting and 676 proposed trees. All required tree mitigation is met, and the landscaping exceeds code requirements (total stabilized, vegetated area of approximately 13.58 acres). Please see included plan sheets for additional detailed information. 2705 Bee Caves Road Suite 100 | Austin, Texas 78746 | 512-807-2900 | www.drennergroup.com …

We are not sure that they will get it resolved before the August 18 ZAP hearing, which would make the hearing premature if the access point in the Applicant’s zoning application is under dispute. We respectfully request a postponement to the furthest date allowed to enable the parties to resolve the matter of the unauthorized filing of the restrictive covenant amendment. We would also request that the packet of information I circulated on August 12, 2026, which is also attached here for your convenience, be included in the official packet for the August 18 ZAP hearing. Thank you very much. Warm regards, Lisa Lyons CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.

Basis: The case relies on a restrictive covenant amendment, the validity of which, the Circle C residents are actively challenging, and it has since it has come to light that it was filed without authorization. See specifically the details for July 29, 2026 and July 31, 2026 below. Background The Circle C HOA and Stratus Properties are parties to an Amended and Restated Declarations of Restrictive Covenants, dated September 9, 2011, which prohibits vehicular access to Dahlgreen Avenue from Tract 110. That covenant is central to the zoning application Stratus has filed in this case: Stratus wants Dahlgreen to serve as a full residential access point for its proposed 1,000-unit multifamily development. Dahlgreen has been deliberately protected since 2002 because it is a cross street and school zone for Kiker Elementary School, and Circle C residents oppose opening this two-lane interior residential street to development traffic. 02 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 81 of 23 The chronology below explains why the validity of the covenant amendment is now in dispute: ● May 2025 – Stratus files its zoning conversion application requesting upzoning from office to multifamily for its proposed development of Tract 110 in Circle C.

C14-2025-0064 Circle C Tract 110 Dear Mayor Watson and Council Members, The Circle C Homeowners Association Board of Directors voted to withdraw their approval of the First Amendment for Tract Covenant for Tract 110 on July 29, 2026. Over the last several weeks, the Circle C Board of Directors has worked with Legal and Stratus on a new Second Amendment and a First Amendment Termination Document that was recorded in error. The Circle C Board President called a Special Board Meeting on August 14, 2026. At the Special Board Meeting, the Board of Directors approved the Second Amendment and the First Amendment Termination Document. The Termination Document will be filed and recorded on August 17, 2026. The Executed Second Amendment will be held in an Escrow account managed by Heritage Title and will only be filed once Stratus has full Zoning Approval by the City Council on the Zoning Case on all three (3) readings. If Stratus does not received full Zoning Approval within 2-years of the date of the Escrow Account, the Second Amendment will be voided and destroyed by Heritage Title. The Board continues to strongly encourage all parties involved to consider the following traffic safety and infrastructure improvements as part of any future development: 1. We request Council take action to make the secondary access on Dahlgreen Avenue an Emergency Access/Evacuation Only. 2. Do not extend South Bay toward MoPac. 3. Install a traffic signal at the intersection of Dahlgreen Avenue and La Crosse Avenue, which borders an elementary school, to improve traffic safety. 02 C14-2025-0064 - Circle C Tract 110; District 81 of 2 CIRCLE C HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION, INC. 7817 LA CROSSE AVENUE • AUSTIN, TEXAS 78739 • ( 512) 288-8663 4.

Adding this amount of traffic to the intersection located right at the elementary school for my home will drastically increase the safety challenges in this area for our smallest children. These roads would need to drastically change to handle that traffic and would still increase safety concerns due to their location at the very center of pedestrian traffic for the school. I am begging you to require a smaller quantity of apartment homes for this area or to require outlets directly to Mopac rather than snaking through our neighborhood streets. Please don’t put our kids in danger. Please. Thank you for your time, Lisa Peters, Circle C Resident CAUTION: This is an EXTERNAL email. Please use caution when clicking links or opening attachments.
