•meeting of the Greater South River City neighborhood
plan contact team :: ::
There will be a meeting of the Greater South River City Neighborhood Plan Contact Team on Saturday March 22 from 4pm to 5:30 pm at Grace United Methodist Church (Fellowship Hall). We will be electing new officers (Chair, Vice-Chair and Secretary) as per our bylaws. We will also hear from Mr. Saati who is the owner/applicant of properties at 211, 301, 303 Woodward Street and has submitted applications for rezoning these properties from SF-3 to MF-3. The rezonings would require an amendment to the neighborhood plan so the neighborhood plan contact team will take a vote on whether to support the amendment to the neighborhood plan. Anyone is welcome to attend and participate in the discussions though only neighborhood plan team members can vote. The neighborhood plan team would especially like to hear from nearby neighbors of the Woodward properties. Danette Chimenti, Chair, GSRC NPCT

Jim Christianson, Norwood House: Mr. Christianson, former chair of the Landmark Commission, is very concerned about the Norwood House (on Riverside at IH 35) . It has been zoned historic by the City but been allowed to fall into disrepair for lack of needed funds, now estimated to be $1 million. We need to get it in this year''s budget if we hope to save it. He has an 8:00 meeting, which is why he is first on the agenda.

Amendments to the Billboard Ordinance.

•••Dear Neighbors,
We have three serious concerns before us, Reagan Signs office site plan, 222/300 Riverside, and Home Slice Pizza's off-site parking but all three are in process at the city and/or being monitored by committees. No action is required by the Exec. Com. but many of the Exec. Com. are serving on the above committees and have two evening meetings next week and two afternoon meetings.
We do need to search our hearts (and our friends' hearts) to see who would be willing to serve on the Executive Committee! We need co-chairs for nearly every office, Secretary, Vice- President and President. It will cut the work load for those now serving. Please call to get on the ballot for the March 3rd meeting or just call to talk about it.
Jean Mather, President, 444-4153 [notice posted to the neighborhood e-mail list February 16]

contractors on Wednesday, February 20,
6 to 7 pm, Grace United Methodist Church, 205 East Monroe Street;
refreshments will be served; Rsvp by calling 684-3204
Govalle 2 – Blunn Creek Project The City has selected Oscar Renda Construction Company as the contractor. The project location is east of South Congress and west of IH 35 and will include work on Riverside Drive, Alameda Drive, East Monroe, Sunset Lane, East Live Oak and Edgecliff. The purpose is to replace aging wastewater lines which have contributed to sanitary sewer overflows in recent years. About 4,705 feet of new wastewater pipe and 39 manholes will be installed. The staging area for storage of equipment and materials will be located at 1625 South IH 35, northbound service road. The staging area is bounded by IH 35 to the west, Summit Street to the east, Woodland Avenue to the south and an office building to the north. Construction is scheduled to begin in March and will be completed in February 2009.
Project Manager: Robert Wells, 479-1614
Construction Inspector: Phillip Preslar, 801-8558
Govalle 2 – Harper’s Branch Tunnel Project The City has selected Southland as the contractor. The Harper’s Branch Project is a tunneling project approximately 2000 feet in length that will run parallel to IH 35. The tunnel is being constructed for the placement of a new wastewater line that will allow for the abandonment of the existing wastewater line that has been leaking into the creek. The north boundary of the project is Norwood Estate Dog Park just north of Riverside Drive, and the south boundary of the project is the TIG parking lot just south of Reagan Terrace. The staging area for storage of equipment and materials will be split between an area in the dog park and an area owned by TxDot just to the east of the dog park and the TIG parking lot. Construction is scheduled to begin this month and will be completed in February 2009.
Project Manager: Sharon Hamilton, P.E., 479-1642
Construction Inspector: Mike Carpenter, 474-5500
With the addition of these two projects, there will be three wastewater improvement projects under way in the South River City Citizens’ neighborhood (the Travis Heights project began last month and will be completed by fall 2008). However, the Harper’s Branch project is an underground tunnel, so surface impacts will be limited. Project managers are coordinating construction activities to minimize disruptions as much as possible. Traffic control plans will provide detours around construction areas in the street right of way. Access to streets for emergency vehicles will be maintained. The Austin Clean Water Program is the City’s response to an EPA mandate to repair and replace aging wastewater lines or face fines of $27,500 per day per overflow. The deadline for completion of all 100 construction projects is June 2009. (linked maps viewable with free Adobe reader)

•Meeting of the executive committee of
South River City Citizens: Monday, January 21, 2008; 6:00 pm;
Grace United Methodist Church (205 East Monroe)
Dear Folks, All are welcome to Monday's 6:00
Executive Meeting. The meeting should be short and sweet. David Todd has
good news and needs a support letter from SRCC.
From David: I'm applying for a January grant from the Austin Parks Foundation for $6000 toward continued removal of exotics and planting of natives in Stacy and Blunn, much like what we did next to Little Stacy's ballfield. As matching funds, this proposal would also tap the $3000 from the Magnolia Trust and $3243 in RGK grants that we've already raised.
*Just in (1/18/08) is a request for a variance at 1705 Nickerson. The owner wants to decrease the rear setback from 10 feet to 5 feet, 9 and 1/4 inches, "in order to maintain 140 square feet of a covered balcony for an existing single-family residence". The hearing before the Board of Adjustment will be on the 28th at 6:00 +/-. We need neighbors' input.
