According to a letter dated May 25f 1984, builder and applicant Bob Harstad requested and received approval for this variance from the developer of the subdivision6 The reason stated for the request wag to preserve as many existing trees as Possible. (Process required by Deed Restrictions) [Staff has expressed no opposition to the granting of this variance, however until a- variance of this type is turned down and someone is forced to move a house, requests for this type of variance will continue. P&Z Recommendation: (5-0) Granting of Variance City Council Action: (5-0) Granting of Variance FORA- SAN Location Map 1"=2000' Applicant: Clay St, Joint Venture G.L. Smith and David Dacy 3135 Honey Tree Lane Austin, Tx 78731 Agent: Cox/Croslin and Associates (Ron Kelley) 6907 Capitol of Tx. Hwy Austin, Tx 78731 346-8420 Site plan approval for Eagle's Nest Apartments, a 1.22 acre tract out of the east side of Lot 1, Block 7, of the Gabriel Heights addition, cabinet B, slides 5-7. This approval requirej the following variances: 1. Zoning Ordinance 2.0403 Area Regulations- Request is to grant a reduction in the required front yard from 25 feet to 15 feet. 2. Zoning Ordinance 6.106 Yard Regulations- Request is to grant approval for construction of three parking spaces in the requested 15 foot front yard. 3. Density Standards- Request is to grant an increase in the maximum allowable density standard recommended by the Planning Department from 20 Living Units per Acre to 26 Living Units per Acre. M Facts: Location: West of IH 35, east of Park Lane, on the south side of Clay Street. Surrounding Uses: Mini Storage warehouses and a duplex are to the northwest; Georgetown Inn is to the southwest; a Texaco service station is to the southeast; and across the street (NE) is vacant land. Surrounding Zoning: Residential Multifamily (RM -3) to the Northwest and Local Commercial District (C-1) on all other sides. Existing Zoning: C-1 Local Commercial District Proposed Use: 32 one and two bedroom apartments at a density of 26 units per acre Development Plan: Commercial use is recommended, the proposed District 4b use and existing zoning are substantially in conformance with the plan. History: The site is a part of Lot 1, Block 7, of the Gabriel Heights Subdivision as recorded September 2, 1964. This lot was formed by metes and bounds on April 15, 1975, Vol. 608, page' 390. The most recent research of the planning department reveals this to be an unplatted resubdivision, however in the pre - development conferences the applicant and staff had reason to believe that 1977 was the cut off date for metes and bounds resubdivision. The covenants filed on the record plat require a front building setback of'30 feet. These covenants can be changed by a majority vote of property owners after January 1, 1974. Analysis: All three requested variances revolve around one central issue, over utilization of the site. If the standard density of 20 units/acre is used, the number of units would be reduced to 25 and the required parking spaces reduced to'37. Thus, if the number of units proposed were reduced by 7 and the number of parking spaces reduced by 11, then no variances would be needed. It should also be noted that this reduction in impervious cover would reduce the amount of stormwater run-off and compliment applicants request for administrative variance from stormwater detention requirements. It should also be noted that if this property were rezoned to RM -3 District, which would allow the proposed use, then a 15 foot front yard would be allowed. However, the parking therein would still be in violation. With regard to the density standard, this project as proposed does meet the minimum lot size required for 32 living units under Ordinance Section 2.03032.(a) which requires 1.16 acre minimum lot area as compared to the 1.22 acres of this site. Clearly, the application of "standards" or guidelines in the review of development proposals carries less authority than do the "restrictions" of the Zoning Ordinance. However, they do serve an important role in the creation of a more consistant and uniform development climate throughout the community. The primary justification presented by the applicant for the granting of these variances is that "various City officials" have given direction that the development be reviewed under RM -3 District regulations. According to the applicant this direction was received intermittantly beginning in 1980 and as recently as 1984. Section 11.206 of the Zoning Ordinance establishes the Board of Adjustment (City • as the authority to hear and •- appeals where there is alleged to be error in any determination by the administration official.

PO BOX 858 Georgetown, Tx 78627 863-4521 Preliminary/ Final Plat approval for • a 2.02 acre subdivision situated inthe A. Flores Survey, Abstract No. 235, near the City of Georgetown, Williamson Countyt Texas. Location: Lies in the southwest corner of the intersection of County Road 151 and Hwy 81. Lies within the Georgetown E.T.J. and the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. Within 2 miles of Georqetown Municipal Airport. Surrounding Uses: w• • mini -warehouse storage units, and various commercial uses. Proposed Use: Commercial Development Plan: Industrial use is recommended, the District 5c proposed use substantially conforms to the plan. Analysis: The location of this subdivision in the triangular area bounded byCounty Road 151 and Highway 81, across from the high school draws special concern for three reasons: 1.) Its proximity to the school (as indicated in the supplement to the Comprehensive plan) treats a concern that its development be compatible with the school. The exact nature of the proposed use warrants closer examination and some kind of review mechanism further on in the development process as its usage becomes more defined. The traffic generated by these lots and how it impacts on Hwy 81 also effects this area. 21 Because this site is outside of the City limits,and is not proposed for City utility service, developers are not required to obtain building permits for their development.,, Lacking these normal control mechanisms, there is a susceptibility to the proliferation of substandard development in this area. The enforcement of good site planning, the drainage ordinances, traffic safety, and specific land use controls can only be enforced by such mechanisms as an agreement with the County Health Department to coordinatO-;F) the issuance of septic permits or the voluntary compliance of the developer. Therefore, the Commission may wish to recommend that the approval of the plat be conditioned upon its approval of a site development plan. 3.) The final concern is that of fire protection. There are two aspects of this condition, the first of which is public safety. The proposed water source for this development, Jonah Water Company, has indicated that they cannot provide adequate pressures and flows to meet Fire Insurance Board standards. Thup, the risk to life and property is increased. Secondly, the failure to provide "adequate" utilities for these areas during subdivision development reduces the attractiveness of the area for future annexation and will eventually result in either a hole in the area of the City, or the expenditure of capital improvement fundsafter annexation. Both the Fire Chief and the Public Works Department have recommended disapproval of the plat for this reason. Additionally a 10' road widening dedication has been requested by the County Commissioner. This would result in a total R.O.W. width of 60 ft. which matches that normally recommended by City Engineer for "local" streets in Commercial/ Industrial areas. The City Engineer has also recommended a 45 ft. radius be dedicated at the acute angle intersection, with Hwy 81 to allow for turning movements of large trucks. Staff Recommendation: Plat should not be approved until the minimum fire protection standards of the State Fire Insurance Board have been met. However, If approved the following conditions shall apply: 1. Plat shall meet all ordinance requirements, 2. Drainage requirements shall be met, 3* Utilities being adequate. Water availability note shall apply and Water certification letter from Jonah Water Supply Corporation is required, 4. The following notes shall be added to the plat: a.

Lots at right angles: Block "S", Lot 9,10 Block "V", Lot 1 Analysis.- This plat represents the first of three sections for the River Ridge Three 8ubdivisi' on. An adjacent subdivision under separate ownership known as Riverview Estates has also been approved. Thus, coordination with adjacent developments at various stages is important and is an inherent condition of approvali There.are several technical ordinances requirements which will be corrected Prior to plat reoordation including the indication -of proper building setbacks and utty easements, some street data, renaming of Oakwood Drive, etd4 Also the drainage easement on Block "T" and "U" has not been approved by City Engineer and may require adjustment. I Buffering lots 1-7 of Block "S" from the negative visual a�d noise impacts of R.M. 2243 should be required4 A landscape buffer of native evergreen trees U.e. juniper) would be a better noise filter than a fence in addition to requiring less maintenance. A fence or some other suitable buffer should be required along the rear of lots 8-10, Block 11811 to buffer the higher intensity land uses from the proposed single fmaily use in Riverview Estates. While the lots in the multi-famliy area app�ar.t meet minimum ordinance requirements, the buildlini River Ridge III A (con.) department has expressed concern over the difficulty in building units to ordinances requirements on small irregularly shaped lots. Thus, in order to avoid future variance requests we recommend that builders be required to have approved site plans prior to issuing permits. Staff Recommendation: Approval with the following conditions: I. Plat shall be revised to meet all ordiance requirements prior to council action. II. Drainage requirement shall be met. III. Utilities being adequate. IV. A Water Pollution Abatement Plan is required. V. The following notes shall be added to plat: A.

History.- Proper notification for resubdivisioh has been done. The applicant and the person under contract'for the hew lot that would be created by this resubdivislon have had extensive contact with the Planning Department since late June, in order to determine how to resubdivide for the purpose of moving a historic home from Southwestern University property into the City. During the several conferences with the Planning Department.no mention of the water availability note was madei The note states that "no building permits shall be issued until the City's water treatment facilities are operational of an acceptablealternate source is provided." On resubdivisions, the Planning Department has interpreted the policy as being applicable to hew lots cteatedi Subsequent to the pre -development conferences on this tract held in Jute, all prospective applicant for resubdivision have been informed about the applicability of the water note. The applicants first notification of the water policy from the Planning Department occured On August 9th, 1985. The Public Works Department has confirmed that there are to existing water pressure or availability problems in this area4 I Analysis: The issues before the Commission/ Council regarding this plat are: 1. Should resubdivision of the property be approved? 2. Has a hardship for the applicant resulted from the actions of the Planning Department and does this hardship constitute sufficient cause to grant variance from the existing water policy? Regarding the first issue, this resubdivision meets or exceeds all ordinance requirements excepting the detention of stormwater. A variance from Snvder Addition page 3 stormwater detention requirements has been requested because the proposed development will not result it an increase in stormwater run-off by 10% or 5 cf84 Per standard procedure this request will be considered by staff in conjunction with building Permit application. Approval of the plat subject to the following conditions: 1. All ordinance requirements shall be met, 2. Drainage requirements shall be met, 3. Utilities being adequate. A waiver from the water availability policy should be granted due to the circumstances peculiar to this case and mentioned in the analysis section of the Planning Report. P & Z Recommendation-.
