Signed: Michael Jon Flury Date: 9/2/2024 Comments: The Neighborhood Traffic Analysis and Restrictions should be upheld as the traffic analysis in 2005 recommended the pavement on Longview Road be upgraded to 36' and Cameron Loop 40'. The current pavement for both roads average approximately 21" with NO sidewalks. Longview Road and Cameron Loop are dangerous in their current state. Residents on Longview Road have to back up into oncoming traffic. Also no existing sidewalks exist for the frequent joggers and people walking their dogs and children to the neighborhood park. So people are forced to walk on the road that is already heavy with traffic as alternate cut through between Brodie Ln. and Westgate Blvd. From: Claudia Morgan Sent: Monday, September 2, 2024 9:48 PM To: Estrada, Nancy <Nancy.Estrada@austintexas.gov> Subject: Regarding Case C14-05-0151(RCT) September 2, 2024 External Email - Exercise Caution City of Austin Planning Department Re: Case C14-05-0151(RCT) Restrictive covenant termination for 8420 Longview Rd. and 3114 Cameron Loop (the “Property”) Attention: Ms. Nancy Estrada, Dear Ms. Estrada, Comments: The undersigned, Claudia Morgan, in my capacity as resident/owner of 3107 Sacbe Cove, Austin, TX 78745, hereby object to the proposal by SB Longview LLC (the “Applicant”) to terminate the existing 2006 restrictive covenant recorded in Document No. 2006215145 of the Official Public Records of Travis County, Texas (the “Restrictive Covenant”) in order to exempt the project located at 8420 Longview Road and 3114 Cameron Loop from the provisions of the Restrictive Covenant. The Neighborhood Traffic Analysis and Restrictions should be upheld as the traffic analysis in 2005 recommended the pavement on Longview Road be upgraded to 36' and Cameron Loop 40'. The current pavement for both roads average approximately 21" with NO sidewalks. Both Longview Road and Cameron Loop are already very dangerous streets that are heavily trafficked by vehicles cutting through between Brodie Lane and Westgate Boulevard. Residents backing into the streets, persons riding their bikes, and pedestrians walking/ pushing their children in strollers, and walking their dogs to Longview Neighborhood Park are forced to walk on the narrow streets because there are no sidewalks. A blind hill on Longview Road is especially dangerous. The requested termination would exacerbate an already unsafe situation by adding a large number of vehicles to both streets. In lieu of granting Applicant's request for terminating the Restrictive Covenant, the city should implement safety measures to stop speeding and improve traffic and pedestrian safety on the subject streets. Thank you for your attention to this objection. Sincerely, Claudia Morgan 3107 Sacbe Cove Austin, TX 78745 From: Celinda Guerra Sent: Monday, September 2, 2024 7:40 PM To: Estrada, Nancy <Nancy.Estrada@austintexas.gov> Subject: Regarding Case C14-05-0151(RCT) External Email - Exercise Caution I, Celinda Gonzalez Guerra, resident/owner of 8304 Longview Rd, Austin, TX 78745 object to the termination of existing 2006 Restrictive Covenants regarding the project located at 8420 Longview Road and 3114 Cameron Loop. Comments: The Neighborhood Traffic Analysis and Restrictions should be upheld as the traffic analysis in 2005 recommended the pavement on Longview Road be upgraded to 36' and Cameron Loop 40'. The current pavement for both roads average approximately 21" with NO sidewalks. Longview Road and Cameron Loop are very dangerous streets that are heavily trafficked because it's a cut through between Brodie Lane and Westgate Boulevard. Residents riding their bikes, walking/ pushing their children in strollers and walking their dogs to Longview Neighborhood Park are forced to walk on the narrow street with a blind hill because there are no sidewalks. We need to have some sort of safety measures installed to stop speeding. As a resident of Longview Road, it is often difficult to back into my drive away because oncoming traffic is speeding and they won't stop. They drive around me. I have two small children, 7 years old and 22 months old and I back into my drive fear that a car is speeding and will run over myself or my child.

I often fear for our safety, as there are no sidewalks and cars frequently speed through that stretch of street.

We need to have some sort of safety measures installed to stop speeding. The original restrictive covenant allowed for only 28' tall buildings (two stories), and no more than 8 units. The current plan, as I understand it, will have many more units that would create additional traffic on an already unsafe street. Building larger than two story buildings will allow direct viewing through the windows into my home. Currently there is no fencing between my property and the proposed improvement. Even with a fence, the proximity of the buildings, if more than two stories, would create an issue with privacy. We have a small backyard that would back up directly to the new complex. I propose an easement between Sacbe CV and the new development. In short, Longview is not a major street but has become a thoroughfare for many vehicles driving between Brodie and Westgate. The street should be upgraded before any major new developments with a hundred or more new cars are put in place.
