John, do you want to present, since you're sharing your screen?
Who has to present?
You can be there to answer any questions the board may have.
Sorry, yeah, I was having trouble with the technical trouble.
trouble. Yes, no worries. Can you see the screen of the refusal letter? Yes. Yes, we were, so
it was a refusal for a multifamily three units that's prohibited in the RSA 5 residential
zoning district. And also there was a refusal on a setback of at least five feet. We're not asking
for that that that was a error on our part we're only asking for our variance for the multi-family
three units uh and uh we did uh we met with the rco um let me see okay let me see if i can share this
okay let's just keep up
I'm sorry about that.
We need to share again.
I have to share again?
Stop sharing.
Okay, we met with the RCO on the 12th of November.
on the 12th of November. Here are some results.
Here are some results.
There were a total of 13 attendees. Six, I believe six was on the board community and
it was a unanimous decision. They was all in favor of the variance for the Moti family.
now is this sharing yeah so this is they can see this
are you are you able to see uh the permit uh uh zoning yes yes okay great okay uh i pulled up on
So this is 3246 North Carlisle Street, and I'm 3256 North Carlisle, and they were granted a variance, a zoning use permit in September 2019 for a multi-family, four-unit dwelling.
And also, next door to me, 3258 North Carlisle, they were granted a use permit for a three-family household, I guess a three-unit family dwelling.
yeah i want to pull up a zoning map
um can you see the zoning map
no okay okay
maybe if you can go to your property and give us the show us the exhibit of what it is you're
proposing to build. Okay.
Will my architect be able to explain this? Yes. Yes.
Cheryl? Sure. Okay. Let me share my screen.
Okay. Can everyone see my screen? Yes.
Okay, so same thing as John was just showing you the refusal, our application, our deed, our tax clearances, just go through.
Okay, so currently it's a vacant lot. It's actually a double wide vacant lot. So we would only be, we only own half of this vacant lot, you see.
And as John mentioned, we're proposing a three-unit, a three, is it four-story building.
The first unit would occupy the basement and the first floor.
The second unit would occupy the second floor only.
and the third unit would have the third floor and fourth floor which would be set back and as
John mentioned our roof deck is not going to come all the way out to the front it's going to be set
back the five feet so we don't need a variance for that just to give the third floor unit a little
outdoor space. So this is the elevation. You could see on this side, this is the existing
residence. That's three stories. So from the street, you're not really going to see much
of that fourth story because it's setback a ways. This is just a little parapet wall.
But again, the roof deck access area is only going to be probably five feet wide.
And again, you're not going to see it from the street.
And there's still going to be the vacant property on this side of the lot.
And we met with the neighborhood.
And as John mentioned, we had unanimous support.
And we also had some discussions about, you know, trying to help this neighbor as best we can with, you know, fixing his roof if we can and the porch just to kind of, you know, be a good neighbor and not allow any part of his property to get any extra water damage or anything like that.
get any extra water damage or anything like that.
And here is the letter from the neighbor with the summary of the meeting and their vote.
This is our letter to the neighbors. That's their refusal again.
Any questions? Go back to the floor plan that shows the first floor and basement please. Sure.
this is the basement so the first floor we don't see anything yet but your name
oh i'm sorry i have to share my screen again
okay could you make that a little bit larger please yes i can
so this is the basement floor and the first floors this is what the first floor for first
unit would um occupy so it's only two bedroom the means of ingress and egress from the basement
the basement has an egress window for this bedroom
um we're here very okay any questions from the board yes uh how do no yes i knew tom tom wants
how do you handle the trash each department has access to the yard there is we're one
unit away from the corner and there is an alley or i think we're close to the corner and there's
an alley in the back connecting all the properties there's no rear yard
it's only accessed by the first unit
third floor would have a roof roof deck right yes and we had a discussion with the neighborhood
about that as well hi may i uh for uh the first unit would have access to the to the yard for
trash now the second and third unit they would um need it's a little inconvenient for them but I
think they'll be okay they will need to uh walk uh out and um through the back of the alleyway and
for the backyard there will be a door which they will have a key to to uh put to uh put the trash
back there and let me ask you this how does the second floor and third floor you say could use
the alley do that would they not be able to use the yard they they would have there would be a
door uh from the backyard to the alley so they do will get access to the yard as well
i'm saying so they can store their trash in the yard is that correct yes all right all right so
i think you're you're talking about taking the trash out for trash pickup they would use the
alley is that correct no but for trash pickup i would uh most likely offer uh my tenants that's
there to uh to take out the trash on trash trash nights uh for a fee and um i i i think that uh
most uh i don't think they will have a problem with that so i would give the tenant a type of
like a management uh cleaning fee for them to take out the trash and keep the alleyway clean
all right but again the question is they would all three units would have would have access
to the yard yes correct okay does that answer your question tom thank you okay any other questions
no anyone else anyone else would like to uh testify in this case if so please raise your hand
Mr. Chair, I have a call-in user number two with their hand raised.
I will allow them to speak at this time.
Now I'm allowed to speak.

Adrienne Fernandez, F-E-R-N-A-N-D-E-Z.
Do you swear to the firm to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth?
I'm testifying for one of the affected RCOs, our RCO is Swampoom Neighborhood Process Association RCO.
We want to give provisos for this.
Overall, we're opposed to this project because it's multifamily.
However, we understand that there was unanimous vote at the meeting.
We're opposed to the rooftop deck, also the basement living.
And we would like to have provisos of all the trash being kept indoors or on the property
because it will end up in the front of the property or, you know, all over the sidewalk.
That's been our experience with the multifamily properties.
So we're asking for that proviso of all trash being kept indoors and or on the property.
The alleyway is a fire lane, and I don't think it's legal to keep to say he's going to keep his trash in the alley.
They're not keeping it in the alley.
According to the testimony, all three units will have access to the backyard for trash.
Okay, well, can we have a proviso that all trash be kept on the property, within the property lines?
And also, can we have a proviso of limited occupancy of six adults and three children?
I don't think we can do that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, Sharon.
No, you're correct.
Okay, so we'll have one proviso just for the trash?
That's correct.
Okay, thank you.
Thank you.
Any other questions?
Anyone else would like to testify?
Please raise your hand.
no further hands at this time chair thank you planning commission

use on the comprehensive plan and is on an existing single family block the applicant

Accordingly, we object to the granting of the variance.

I do have a question again for the applicant or the architect.

Yes, it is a multi-family, three units right next to it.
And I would like to point out across the street, on the other side of the street, they have

ms clark yes okay good morning good morning carol did you uh read off the rest of the uh
requirement well we were trying to confirm before we went forward that she have her
send her email well i'm sorry have you found that miss sunkett oh no we're waiting for her
to let us know. Well, I did go through my email, and I do see where it was sent to rcozba
at filler.gov. Okay, but did you send the full? I'm sorry, somebody say something?
Yeah, when was that email sent? That email was sent last week. The only thing that it was missing
That email was sent last week. The only thing that it was missing was the compliance letter
was the complaint.
because I just got that two days ago. Was it also emailed to, was it emailed to any address
other than the RCO mailbox? No, I just had that one. I was going by the zoning notice paper
at the bottom. No, you had instructions. It needed to go to the solicitor who's speaking now,
Sharon Saleta. Also, my staff
research, and it appears as though all
documents was sent.
Let me go back to what they said.
Is it a summary form we have
and a traffic study?
Is what they
received, so that was
I'm sorry
to interrupt you, but that traffic
study might have been
a mistake on a traffic study. That was for
another address, my bad.
So was all the exhibits submitted?
can i share the documents that i have yes uh-huh okay i do have them and from what i can see the
only thing we have for the address right i understand you have them however you're supposed
to submit them and that's what we're trying to confirm that's a part of the requirement okay
so if you can provide the email where we have the addresses that were supposed to be sent
because it has to go to the attorney for her to review to determine if you okay with going forward
okay because i just sent it to that one email address so that wasn't correct is that okay yes
and unfortunately miss clark um the idea on the the instructions that we send out
is to ensure that those email boxes listed on the instructions receive the documents within five
days so that we can all review to determine that everything that should be submitted is and it's
for the record that we have to keep okay so it's it's up to the chair we could continue this case
and um i could work with miss clark offline to give her a good date yeah why don't we do that
okay miss clark okay this miss sunken will do her best to get you an early continuing okay
So 001260-2152-North 21st Street is continued.
Calendar number 1263-3901-North 3th Street.
I have no record of having received exhibits and I see no hands raised for that particular
address.
