And yes, it was an existing three parcels that was recently consolidated into one single lot in 2019.
Excuse me.
This is Sharon Saleta.
I'm looking at the exhibits, and I don't see a deed or lease.
Did you submit one?
I did not.
I thought it only said if it was for recent share of sales that that needed to be submitted.
No, we always need a deed, lease, or agreement of sale.
Gary, let me ask this.
Could we go forward with the hearing and hold for those documents?
For the deed?
I would take that.
I mean, this has been in their possession for over 40 years, but I don't have that offhand
right now.
We have the deed, I mean, we need it here.
We need a copy of it.
Right, right.
Could you provide it to us by the end of the day?
Sure, yeah.
Perhaps we could vote it at the 3.30 session, assuming that we receive it by then.
we get it before 3 30 then we'll vote on it at the 3 30 session
okay so in the meantime the architect can show us some of the exhibits
okay what the plan is am I able to share my screen
it's good thank you so you can give us a brief description that would be helpful
This is the court reporter.
My screen is frozen.
Hold one second, please.
Okay, I'm good.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Mr. Estepani? Are you there? Ben? Can you hear me now? Now I can, yes.
My apologies. Okay, so this is an existing auto services shop located at 2129-33 South 8th Street.
The existing auto service shop was going to remain, and we're proposing three two-bedroom apartments above.
We're only adding a second story above, and as mentioned previously,
the parcel or the building is located in RSA 5 zoning district which doesn't allow for
multifamily use but previously this was three individual parcels so we think that
Previously, this was three individual parcels, so we think the scale of the addition fits what this was previously zoned as, as opposed to having three single-family homes in this area.
We're proposing three apartments above the existing one-story building.
And if we can scroll to the elevations here, we're not only adding the addition above but
also improving just the appearance of the front of the building. So as you can see on the top
elevations, the existing CMU building with the auto body garage or auto services garage doors
remaining. We're removing the existing signage and then placing a new brick veneer at the front,
new extruded metal signage at the top with the apartments above so hopefully you know with this
variance being granted we can you know provide or continue to provide services to the to the
community while also providing apartments above and also improving just the front facade along
8th street here. The only other refusal that we're seeking is for rear art encroachment
and that's only because the building is the rear of the building is non-conforming by seven inches
and for ease of construction we'd like to build on top of that CMU wall just for again
ease of construction structural purposes but that's that's what we're looking to have approved
chair today okay thank you uh any questions from the board no anyone else would like to testify
in this case please raise your hand no hands at this time mr chair planning commission
this property is indicated for residential use can you hear me yes we can this property is
indicated for residential use the density seems appropriate to the neighborhood and single family
scale according we have no objection to the granting of the variances thank you very much

that deed before the end of the day we'll vote
