Let me share my file.
Let me share my file.
Okay, we see it, so why don't you start telling us what you want to do here?
can you see my slide yeah it's it's up okay present present for uh 838 south halvard street
why don't you start okay thank you so much sure so this is a request to formally recognize the
existing property as a duplex okay and uh so so why don't you start moving through show us the
property and plans and things of that nature okay so this is a clear the text uh so let me quickly
say that uh thank you so much remember about this probably as a view was in 1979 it's a block of
six duplex and it built at the same time and uh so it was already functioning as a tool home
for each duplex so why i'm requesting there's no construction nothing no expansion
and so allow this duplex continue as a duplex okay so why don't you show us the property
so so this was six duplex built at the same time in 1979 okay and this is uh uh i made with the
uh sir sir sir listen to me why don't you show us the duplex the photo that you have in your file
okay okay this is uh uh the front door okay no no we you you don't have anything up sir
all we see is the headline that says presentation four now we we don't see what you have so why
don't you show us the documents oh i saw you uh let me try to bring up right i think you've got
to bring them up yourself on the side here see the side hi mr lynn this is ian hegarty the executive
director i'll help you through this so there you go there you go yeah that looks like you
you have the photo there um you're right now you're showing us the window that just has the
um the powerpoint program instead of the presentation so i think what you might need
to do is to start um stop sharing and then start your presentation and then start sharing again
so we can see the presentation screen instead of the screen that shows where you edit the document
does that make sense oh sorry about it i saw you can see that oh no that's okay happens a lot no
worries so can you see this diffusion can you see this so mr ling go ahead and stop sharing
and then um start sharing again and show us oh yeah and now start sharing again but just
share the screen that says presentation instead of the PowerPoint document.
Let me see.
Say stop sharing.
You want me to stop sharing?
yeah so the screen that we are seeing now is the screen where you edit your presentation
the screen that we want to see is the screen that shows the final presentation right so
those are two different um application windows that you from what you'll have to select so what
you'll have to do is stop sharing and then start again and select that correct uh second version
which is the final presentation yeah can you put it in the mailbox and her
yeah mailbox should be open germaine germaine germaine your mute yourself
okay oh so i need to bring up my my powerpoint
so what do you see now but we we don't see it sir we're still seeing we're still seeing your
powerpoint uh presentation where you edit the presentation instead of the presentation itself
so um what i would suggest is uh stop sharing stop sharing yep and now click start sharing
uh stop sharing stop sharing yep and now click start sharing again but before you press anything
you're going to see a few options the one at the top that says entire screen
and then below that you see application windows do you see that
do you see a section that says application windows when you're press select screen
sorry why don't you press uh share screen
sir on the right hand on the right top corner do you see a section that says application windows
um i don't see application window do you see something that says entire screen
and a button
He's saying after you hit that share screen button at the bottom of your Zoom application, it should open it to a new window, and that window will either tell you to share your entire screen or the application windows, meaning your document that you have open.
So I choose entire screen?
Yes, why don't you choose entire screen?
Oh, I see, I see, I see.
Then we'll see what you see, okay?
Okay, now I know that.
thank you sir nice job so then what do i do
so we see what you see so just bring up uh bring up your presentation there there you go beautiful
okay oh now i understand okay so this is a refusal that that was in my file yep yeah so these are
the text is clean yep and uh so again thank you both members so uh this probably was built
as a sixth duplex in 1979 they are all identical the six due process and uh so i request that uh
this basically is very low relief there's no construction no expansion nothing just
recognize this is a duplex all right why don't you show us the properties or the
pictures yeah the show is the property show the pictures yeah so these are the
six duplex view at the same time and I met with the Queen's village neighborhood
Association on June 10 so they after my presentation they approve this
support they support my my request so this is a A38 South Howard Street and this is the main
entrance going in and there's a stairs the downstairs this unit one up there's you need
two okay so right hand side you can see the unit two so this is the back the first floor is gosh
there's a uni one you need two up there so i uh share this before the uh community meeting
so again this is a front door the main entrance
so this is a uni one you can see the three pictures and there's a unit two
so let me just quickly summarize so so so let me ask this question is all the properties along
their duplexes all six houses are all plexus they are all duplex okay thank you yeah you
in the same time in 1979 okay okay so supporting this request in the community's best interest
it keeps the party function as it always like this in the past
it simply allowed the building to be used as it was originally designed
and promote the stability prevent vacancy and the use so preserve that the way it is
and so the artificial context is just being consistent as the neighborhood okay so that's
all I want to say any questions questions from the board yes how where are the tenants storing
their trash oh this uh there's a this front yard okay this is the inside is a common use
at entrance and also there's a front yard
the basement but i mean the the garage is a uh the trash there okay thank you yeah other questions
the basement i mean the the garage is

mi2026002157838 south howard street i vote yes michael johns my vote is yes
sarah gaston my vote is yes tanetta graham my vote is yes ryan mcadams my vote is yes
iowen my vote is yes you have your vote sir okay thank you so much thank you uh jermaine
jermaine is rejoining us now
what happened what what are you straight now we're good i'm i'm i god willing i'm i should be good
um you got a chance to be a stand-up comedian because you got the whole place
all right questions from the board for jermaine where you have the picture
so you have pictures of the the building the exterior the exterior of the building sure
specifically the entrances right yeah from the outside these are the two
not not saying anything
you got it you got to share oh i'm sorry i thought i shared all right
okay let's get back to it
right this and this right right see they're both on the side and this is the current condition
this is a current photo of the house correct okay that answered my question
i have one quick question did you say the house adjacent to it is also a multi-family
yes do you know what that address would be 1800 8200 okay and 1801 directly
across the street from that building which would be this one right here and then just because the
it looks like there's been considerable hard surfacing and hardscaping at the site versus
what's currently in um google google maps or google earth what is going to be the sort of
security plan and outside trash plan at the site so i believe she testified that she would place it
on the side a bit miss sidler um you know because i don't want to speak for her because it also
looks like the the deck was removed right let's see right that that was that was what i mentioned
first was the deck was removed and the concrete pad was put in so they've got to make sure that
they have legitimate egress wells out of the the basement um right in the front
uh but let me uh if i could i'd like to just have miss sittler
um be promoted again okay hopefully she's still on the call
miss sittler could you raise your hand please
he's coming in now okay
there was the up a lot and I guess they're not opposed to a CEO.
All right, Jermaine, your client's one.
Okay. Ms. Sittler, I'm sorry.
I just wanted her to be available to answer any questions that I may not,
that only the owner may be able to answer. So, um,
So I don't think I don't think I need an answer to that.
I don't think, I don't think I need an answer to that.
You know, if you get a CEO, you've got to have egress windows that that meet code.
Right. I think, you know, you've got two side doors. One enters directly into the basement.
You can go out to the I think the layout kind of works. I don't have that personally don't have an issue with it.
It's just got to comply with code. That's the thing. And the front windows in the basement bedroom just do not.
so they got to get a co or whatever they got to get permits questions
um i do have a question i was asking about security because there's a driveway at the
rear of the property and before there was a fence and it looks like from your photos
that the fence the perimeter fence was moved
yes do you did you i i guess there was a question about do you plan on having any
sort of security for the uh rear of i i guess for the building do you plan on having any fencing or
anything maybe fencing on the front where is the patio and the cameras
did you under i'm not sure miss when did you understand what my client just said
i know could you could you tell us i put cameras she said cameras and fencing
maybe fencing i don't know yet like on the front like everybody has like my neighbor across the
street and is your plan to like on the view that we're looking at right now on the photo
are you going to use that as parking uh this is on the back it's like parking like everybody has
on the side like we split this is a backyard with the neighbor
correct where the stairs are uh-huh yeah
and you built those stairs in partnership no it was exist it was exist
this well this the concrete stairs existed when you purchased the property
uh it was different but i fixed it it was like very old you know and i just
fix it like for uh like nice okay understood questions from our attorney
yes um i wanted to clarify is there parking at this um location
no okay i thought you just mentioned there was parking no i'm not parking right now nobody
there's nobody parked okay um there is that area that looks like flat that's cement what is that
used for uh what do you mean the flat cement it just picture that your lawyer i'm sorry just let
just put on the record so it can be descriptive um the picture that your attorney is showing
is of the building and right next to it it looks like two could be used as two parking spaces and
it's cement and then there's like steps that are going up what are those for no this is you you
you can't use like for a parking for two spaces not enough place over there it just puts a garbage
can on there on the uh on the side and talking area that's it like maybe for barbecue can you
go back to the photo that you just had up of the of the rear of the property with the stained glass
sure so then this might be a better view this is that same this is like if you this is the this
is adjacent to the alley okay i just want to clarify because so like this is where all the
other neighbors are parking like up against their house in that in that spot okay and also uh there
is there also street parking uh is there also street parking miss uh siddler in front of the
house yeah it's a lot of parking covered there on the streets these are twin houses right on this
block is that the character of these uh houses is that they're twin yeah okay uh the reason why i
is asking if you're saying there's no parking uh just wanted to put on the record that the
refusal for parking is missing and if the board grants the request there would be a variance for
um this parking if um if it is approved
do you hear that charming there would be i i heard a couple voices i'm sorry could you repeat that
please sure um you're saying that there's no parking and if that's so i just wanted to note
on the record that a refusal for the parking is missing so that if the board grants this request
So that if the board grants this request, there will be a variance.
There will be a variant for parking.
For parking that's included in the approval.
Okay, yeah, but we have parking like on the back, uh, on the back of this house.
It's like back from other house over there.
Why should your comments from the virtual audience?
Yes, chair, um, Alice, you will be allowed to speak.

being duplexes however the entire rest of the row are small single-family twins this is a complete
overuse of this property trying to fit a small apartment in that basement which doesn't even
