Thank you.
Madam Vice Chair, members of the board, I'm here this morning on behalf of South 24th Corner LLC and Jeff Frederick.
On the screen before you is an aerial view of the subject property, which is located at the corner of 24th and Ellsworth Street.
It is, I'm trying to show you with the hand icon, it's the green grass area right here on the corner.
Just to the left is the single family residential dwelling.
Here's another photograph showing 24th Street and to the left is Ellsworth.
Here we are on Ellsworth so you can see the full lot.
and you can see here at the corner that we are in an RSA5 zoning district. I'll note that you'll
see this is a double wide lot and all of the lots next to it are single lots. Here is a copy of our
refusal. We have submitted updated revised proviso plans to Ms. Saleta and to the board five days in
advance and we have narrowed the number of refusals to only one before the board
and we have narrowed the number of refusals to only one before the board, which I've highlighted for you.
The proposal is for two single-family homes, and what's interesting is that in May of 2020,
there had been two separate lots at this site.
The lots were consolidated into one.
If the lots had not been consolidated with the revised plans before you, we would not even be before the board.
We're seeking to subdivide one lot back into two lots, and we are not able to meet the required 1,440 square feet per lot.
Each lot is proposed as 960 square feet.
There is an exception in the code at table 14701-1.
If 75% of the lots adjacent to this lot were non-conforming in size, essentially, this would be over-the-counter.
We are close to 75%, very close, but not quite there.
So it's a very technical refusal.
The Point Breeze Community Development Corporation has reviewed the proposal and has supported it,
