ZBA Hearing - March 1, 2023

Hi, could you state your name and spell for the court reporter?

Of course, that's Brent Heflin, H-E-F-L-I-N.

Right.

Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth?

I swear.

Are you a neighbor?

Yes, you can see my house directly through that gap.

So not directly related to this property in question.

Okay, all right, in the back there.

Correct, you got it.

Okay, go ahead, sir.

So I think others have mentioned the obvious concerns around the size of the structure

related to the size of the lot.

Another concern that I have, and forgive me, I had this on intermittently.

but it has been quite a delay. That tree you see there, which is directly beside the lot in

question, I know that that tree was subject of prior committee reviews and at one point was

actually saved. So I'm just interested to know if that's been a consideration throughout this

process or not and how the builder intends to account for that throughout this project,

if at all. So just a separate thought that I had in addition to my objection to the build.

Thank you, sir.

Before we leave, I'll let him follow up.

Is there anyone else in the virtual audience?

I don't see any more hands, Chair.

Mr. Okowski, you want to respond to any of the comments?

All neighbors were notified of the RCO meeting as per instructions.

It sounds like they did receive it, so not sure what I can do about that.

Conversations and my address is posted.

He could knock to my door and talk to me.

Mr. Mesner has my number.

I spoke to him as attorney.

throughout this process.

So I'm easy to find and have no problem speaking

with the neighbors.

As for the tree, I don't think it really applies

to the zoning and the reason we're here today,

but the overhang on my property will be removed

in order to build the structure.

Me and Mr. Mesner have spoke about that at length.

Thank you, Mr. Okafsky.
