Site Plan (Conditional Use): SPC-2009-0362C(R2) - Waller Creek Tunnel Project- Waller Beach Improvements SPR #2; District 9] ITEM SEVEN SS P C 2000 903 62 C REVISION TWO WATER CREEK TUNNEL PROJECT, WATER BEACH IMPROVEMENTS. S P R NUMBER 2 74 TRINITY STREET. LADY BIRD LAKE. WE HAVE A PRESENTATION BY STAFF. YEAH, I THINK, PARDON ME? JUST GO TO QUESTIONS. WE HAVE A, JUST A VERY BRIEF STAFF PRESENTATION. , YOU CAN IZED. ALRIGHT, THAT'S FINE. WE DON'T BITE. THAT'S FINE. . UM, I'M CLARISSA DAVIS. I AM THE, UH, SITE PLANNER AND CASE MANAGER ON THIS CASE. I DO NOT HAVE A PRESENTATION FOR YOU. THIS WAS ORIGINALLY ON CONSENT AGENDA. RIGHT. UM, AND I GOT PULLED FOR DISCUSSION. UM, BUT I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ABSOLUTELY. I BELIEVE THE APPLICANT IS HERE AS WELL. SO, OKAY. YOU WANNA ASK THE QUESTION FIRST AND THEN I'LL GET TO THE APPLICANT IF WE CAN SEE IF WE CAN MAYBE ANSWER THE QUESTION BETWEEN YOU AND THE APPLICANT. SO I DID ASK YOU AND YOU SAID THAT THE BOAT DOCK WOULDN'T BE IMPACTED BY PROJECT CONNECT. THE PROBLEM IS IF THE, UM, BOATHOUSE IS GOING AWAY WITH PROJECT CONNECT, WHAT IS THE POINT OF DOING WORK TO THE BOAT DOCK? UM, 'CAUSE THE BOAT DOCK WITHOUT A BOATHOUSE ISN'T ALL THAT USEFUL. WHEN I, WHEN I ANSWERED YOUR EMAIL, I TOOK A LOOK AT THE PROJECT CONNECT, UH, PHASES TO SEE WHERE THAT ACTUALLY HAPPEN ON THE, UH, SITE WHEN I TOOK A LOOK AT IT. NOW AGAIN, I'M NOT A PROJECT, YOU KNOW, CORNER, I'M NOT ON PROJECT CONNECT, BUT THE PHASES SEEMED TO BE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE RIVER. THIS PROJECT IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIVER. SO WHERE THIS PHASE IS ACTUALLY SHOWN WILL NOT IMPACT THE SITE AT ALL. IT WILL IMPACT THE BOATHOUSE. YEAH. CAN YOU GIMME AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT BOATHOUSE YOU'RE SPEAKING OF? WALL CREEK BOATHOUSE? YEAH. SO THE, THE BOAT, THE BOAT DOCK IS BASICALLY FOR THE AUSTIN ROWING CENTER, WHICH IS ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE RIVER. THE FLOATING DOCKS THAT ARE ALREADY THERE, THERE ISN'T NECESSARILY A BOATHOUSE THAT IS ON THE RIVER. THERE ARE FLOATING DOCKS THAT ARE ON THE RIVER THAT ARE BEING RECONFIGURED. SO THERE'S NOT A FOUR WALL STRUCTURE THAT IS ON THE RIVER THAT IS BEING MOVED. THOSE DOCKS ARE BEING RECONFIGURED. SO I THAT'S THE, THAT'S KIND OF THE CONFUSION. I'M NOT TOO SURE WHAT BOATHOUSE YOU'RE SPEAKING OF. I, I THINK, UH, I THINK THE CONFUSION'S COMING FROM, UM, THE BOATHOUSE, WHICH IS AT THE END OF TRINITY, UM, RIGHT THERE AT THE OUTFLOW OF, UM, WALLER CREEK. AND UM, IT MAY JUST BE A [00:15:01] TIMELINE ISSUE. MM-HMM. , LIKE, IT MAY JUST BE THAT THE BOATHOUSE IS GONNA BE IN PLACE FOR A FEW YEARS BEFORE PROJECT CONNECT CONSTRUCTION. AND SO THINGS ARE BEING MADE WHOLE. BUT TO, UM, UM, COMMISSIONER GREENBERG'S POINT, UM, THE BOATHOUSE AND THE COFFEE SHOP ABOVE IT, ALL OF THAT IS SCHEDULED TO BE REMOVED AS, UM, THERE IS A RAIL TRAIN, UM, BRIDGE ACROSS THE RIVER THERE. CORRECT. AND SO THE QUESTION IS REALLY COMING FROM THE POINT OF LIKE, WHY ARE WE THROWING MONEY AT, UM, MAINTAINING BOAT DOCKS IF WE'RE JUST GONNA REMOVE THEM IN A YEAR OR TWO OR THREE? FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND OF PROJECT CONNECT, AND AGAIN, I AM NOT ON THE PROJECT CONNECT TEAM, SO I CANNOT SPEAK TO THAT. I REACHED OUT TO A, UH, EMPLOYEE WHO IS AT WATSON WATER WHO TAKES A LOOK AT THOSE PLANS. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS IS A 10 TO MAYBE 20 YEAR OUTLINE OF HOW THIS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. THE BOAT DOCKS THAT ARE CURRENTLY ON THE PROPERTY WERE A TEMPORARY USE TO BEGIN WITH. THEY WEREN'T ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO BE THERE AS LONG AS THEY HAVE BEEN. SO THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING IN TERMS OF THIS, UH, APPLICATION COMING IN TO RECONFIGURE WHAT IS THERE. UM, SO REALLY ALL WE CAN REALLY DO IS LOOK AT THE APPLICATION THAT WE HAVE IN FRONT OF US, GO AHEAD AND IMPLEMENT THAT. AND IF IT ENDS UP IMPACTING IT WITHIN, YOU KNOW, SOME TIME, THEN IT CERTAINLY CAN, BUT WE DON'T WANNA STALL DEVELOPMENT ON, YOU KNOW, WHAT COULD BE SOMETHING THAT'S FURTHER DOWN THE LINE AND AN ON REALLY KNOWN, UM, CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE. SO. OKAY. AND CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY THIS CHANGE IS NEEDED AT ALL? THAT WOULD BE THE APPLICANT PROBABLY. YEAH. SO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT? SURE. OKAY. SO GO AHEAD AND GET A PRESENTATION FOR THE APPLICANT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU. AND ARE YOU WITH THE CITY OR AUSTIN ROWING COUNTY? UH, I'M WITH AUSTIN ROWING CLUB. MY NAME IS MARK EATON. I'M ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND I'M A, I'M THE ACTING DIRECTOR FOR FACILITIES. UH, THESE ARE ALL VERY GOOD QUESTIONS. UH, THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN, UH, VERY MUCH ON OUR MIND TO ANSWER THEM DIRECTLY. UH, OUR BEST UNDERS, FIRST OF ALL, THE MONEY THAT'S GOING TO BE SPENT IS COMING FROM THE AUSTIN ROAMING CLUB. UH, WE ARE DOING THIS BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN TOLD BY THE WATERSHED DEPARTMENT THROUGH PAR THAT THE DOCKS THAT WERE PUT THERE TEMPORARILY OR THE BULKHEAD DOCK THAT WAS PUT THERE TEMPORARILY NEEDS TO GO. AND THE RIPARIAN ZONE NEEDS TO BE RESTORED. NOW, THEY TOLD US THAT ABOUT THREE OR FOUR YEARS AGO, OUR APPLICATION HAS BEEN PENDING FOR NEARLY PERMIT APPLICATION HAS BEEN PENDING FOR TWO YEARS. SO WE DO HAVE SOME TIMELINE ISSUES. UH, OUR BEST UNDERSTANDING IS THAT, UH, THE BOATHOUSE AND YOU SEE THAT ON THE SLIDES, THERE IS A BOATHOUSE AND THEN THE, THE DOCKS, UH, OUR BEST UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE, UH, REMOVED AROUND 2017 AND 2027. YOU MEAN 27? UH, 2027. SORRY. WRONG DECADE. I UNDERSTAND . YEAH. UM, AND, UH, BY A CITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION LAST NOVEMBER, THE INTENT IS FOR THE AUSTIN ROWING CLUB TO MOVE DOWNSTREAM TO THE SITE NOW OCCUPIED BY, OR, OR NOT STILL OCCUPIED, BUT WHERE THE AUSTIN YOUTH HOSTEL BUILDING IS. SO WE'VE TAKEN THAT ALL INTO CONSIDERATION AND WE'VE DESIGNED THE DOCK PROJECT SO THAT IT'S ESSENTIALLY MODULAR. AND WHEN THE TIME COMES FOR US TO MOVE THE DOCKS, WE KIND OF UPTAKES FLOAT THEM DOWN THE RIVER AND REASSEMBLE THEM. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE PLAN, WE ARE, WE'RE, WE REALLY DON'T WANNA WASTE OUR MONEY AND, UM, WE, WE'D LIKE TO REUSE AS MUCH OF, FIRST OF ALL, WHAT'S THERE. THEN WE WILL BE ADDING SOME NEW DOC FEATURES, BUT THEY'RE ALL MODULAR AND WE INTEND TO REUSE THEM. SO THAT WON'T BE MONEY WASTED. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND YOU'RE BEING TOLD TO DO THIS BY THE CITY, SO WE NEED YOU TO GET IT DONE. YEAH. THE, WHEN WE, WHEN THE BOATHOUSE WAS CONSTRUCTED, UH, THE CITY PROVIDED A TEMPORARY BULKHEAD DOCK THAT WE MOVED OUR OWN OLD ROWING SHELL DOCKS TO. AND THAT'S WHAT WE USED WHILE THE BUILDING WAS BEING BUILT AND THE NEW ROWING DOCKS WERE BEING BUILT. NOW, THE PLAN THAT WE DIDN'T DESIGN WAS THAT THE BULKHEAD DOCK THAT WE USED WAS SUPPOSED TO GO AWAY, BUT NOBODY EVER REALLY SAID WHEN OR WHO'S SUPPOSED TO DO IT. AND IT'S REALLY FUN TO. OKAY. THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? YES. THANK YOU. THAT HELPS A LOT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. UM, ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON ITEM SEVEN? NOT DO I HEAR A MOTION I MOVE TO APPROVE. SECOND. MOVED AND SECONDED. ALL THOSE IN THE PAPER SAY AYE. AND IT'S UNANIMOUS. OKAY. THAT CONCLUDES OUR AGENDA. NOW I GOTTA GET BACK TO MY PAPERWORK, UH, ITEMS FROM THE COMMISSION. YEAH. ALL RIGHT. ADAM 15, DISCUSS REGARDING [15. Discussion regarding meeting schedule for calendar year 2024. (Sponsors: Chair Smith and ViceChair Greenberg)] ITEMS FROM [00:20:01] THE COMMISSION WOULD BE NEXT. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING FROM THE COMMISSION? OKAY, ADAM, 15 DISCUSSION REGARDING MEETING SCHEDULE FOR CALENDAR YEAR 2024. CHAIR COMMISSION. LADIES ON, UH, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT YOUR CALENDAR FOR 2024. I BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY SUGGESTED DATE CHANGE WAS TO YOUR JANUARY MONTH, AND THAT WAS CANCELING JANUARY 2ND AND UTILIZING THAT FIFTH TUESDAY, WHICH WOULD BE, UH, JANUARY 30TH. SO HAVE THE ZAP MEETING ON THE 30TH AT 6:00 PM OKAY. OKAY. UM, YEAH, IT'S, THIS IS ONLY FOR DISCUSSION. UM, AGAIN, WE'RE, WE'RE NOT, NOT POSTER FOR ACTION AS YOUR BYLAWS.

THEN WE, IT'LL, IT'LL CHANGE OUR CHECKLIST THAT WE GET IN OUR, YES, IT WILL CHANGE OUR CHECKLIST AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM ON THAT. AND THEN THE OTHER ITEM WE HAD A PRESENTATION ON WAS, UM, I'M DRAWING A BLANK. UM, HANG ON, I'VE GOT IT IN HERE. I THINK OH, THE PROPOSAL, THE, UH, GRANT PROPOSAL. THE GRANT PROPOSAL, YES. WE HAVE A, A GRANT PROPOSAL WE'RE GETTING, PUTTING TOGETHER THE CITY STAFF IS, UM, TO GET SOME MONEY TO LOOK FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND HOW DO WE GET DIFFERENT AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND, AND ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE HOUSING.
