of the building and this is the front actually in the rear of the building I'm

sorry there's an action in the rear of the building too right no there's no

exit to the rear you can't get into the yard no oh no you can't from the side

I'll show you.

Let me show you.

From here, see this opening right here that goes into the yard?

Yeah, but I'm saying the house.

In the back of the building, can you step out of the house?

No, you would go out through the front and go out to the yard.

There's only one entrance?

The front of the house is the only entrance you have?

That and the sides are going to the basement.

Hilary, is there any way we could do a resumptive hearing for this?

We can, Mr. Chair.

I do want to note that with three dwelling units, in order to get a certificate of occupancy, which would be required because this is a change of occupancy from a single family classification,

she would need to have sprinklers and provide plans to make sure she met all fire safety requirements.

You hear that?

Yes, I'll pull up the plans right here.

Here they go.

So you have, you come into the first floor here, and then this is the first floor apartment.

office, living, kitchen, and you have the two bedrooms and the bathroom.

So, say you're on the first floor.

Is the only way to get out is through the front door?

So, we could do a proposed rear door.

But I'm saying there's no rear door now?

No.

We're waiting for approval.

and do people live on the first floor now no okay all right show us the second floor

sure so here's the second floor you come up the stairs and you come in here then you have the

kitchen the living area the first bedroom the bathroom and the um the second bedroom

and then you have the one hour rated start stair detail going all up the stairs

and then you have the one hour rated partition going up to the third floor which is you have

the front you come in and you have the kitchen the living area the bath the bedroom bathroom

and then the front bedroom

um and you have the one hour fire rated floor ceiling assembly

and all the utilities are outside and in the basement and the basement will not be occupied

Hillary I I still think we're going to need a resumptive here and get a better look at the

the property. Mr. Chair, what would you like the applicant to have prepared for

the resumption hearing? I think complete photos of the back, complete photos of all the property,

really just a better understanding of what, I really had a hard time following what was going

on with this. Okay. So particularly focusing on the means of egress for the different units.

Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Understood.

So we're going to have a resumptive hearing for this. We'll be in touch.

Okay.

Sorry, Mr. Chair. I just want to note, Charles Richardson does have his hand raised, so he may have some additional information.

Mr. Richardson.

Good evening again, Mr. Chair.

How are you?

Tired.

The councilwoman is going to hold her support at this point in time until the resumptive hearing to see exactly what it is that they come up with.

until the resumptive hearing to see exactly what it is that they come up with, because it doesn't

sound like the, I know that there were only four people at the RCO meeting, and I don't know what

was shared at that point in time, but we need to have further details as far as what's actually

going on before we make a determination. Thank you very much, Mr. Richardson.

So we're going to have a resumptive hearing, and we just need a better, you know,

practice with the computer whatever you have to do we just need a better way of

seeing everything understanding it okay and then you know especially like how would you get out of

the building you know if you're saying you you don't have that now then you're going to have to

let us know what you're going to do okay okay all right hillary okay that's fine mr chair and i just

also wanted to note that at that time we'll take testimony from the public as well as the

recommendation. Right. Okay, everybody. Is there anyone in the virtual audience whose case has not

been called? I do not see any further hands, Mr. Chair. I want to thank everybody. I hope
