Mayor and City Council Austin, Texав Gentlemen: The Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on November 10, 1936, passed the following resolution, which is hereby submitted for your consideration: RESOLUTION. WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Austin, pursuant to the terms of Section 30 of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Austin, has referred to the Board of Adjustment for its consideration, a petition of the Clyde Hailey Company for a change in the 'Use' District designation of the vacant property located at the southwest corner of West 29th Street and Shoal. Crest Avenue, from Residence "A" to Residence "B" District; and WHEREAS, the Board of Adjustment at a meeting held on November 10, 1936, carefully considered the changing of the 'Use' designation of this property, and has viewed the premises and carefully studied the conditions and developments surrounding same and considered the change from all points of view from sound zoning principals; therefore, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT: THAT the change of the 'Use' designation of the above described property be not recommended and that its present 'Use' designation remain unchanged for the following reasons: 1. That this request is for the change of only two lots under a single ownership and such a change would thus create a spot zone. 2. That all property in this vicinity and neighborhood has been developed as residential property and consists principally of homesteads. 3. That the particular site described also lends itself to residential development fitting into a general residential character of the neighborhood. 4. That a change of this property to a lower classification would tend to adversely affect the surrounding property and would destroy the harmony and integrity of the general development of this area. 5. That the amendments of the Zoning Ordinance recently passed by the City Counoil would not permit the over-crowding of this property by small houses as the re- strictions now prevailing require 4000 square feet per family for correr lots and 3500 for interior lots; and that the corner lot has a total available area per family of 7891.25 square feet, which is not quite sufficient for two families; and the interior lot has an available area per family of 7504.25 which is sufficient for two families, thus allowing only three families on the two lots or possibly four by waiving the deficiency of 108.75 square feet for the corner lot on account of the fact that only 50 feet of the side of this lot abute on Shoal Crest Avenue, the remainder abutting on the small triangular easement between Shoal Crest Boulevard and the east property line of the lot in question. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT, By H. F. Kuehne, Chairman.
