Board member, Mr. Thomas Holloman, has a few questions to ask.
Good morning.
Do you...
I'm sorry.
Good morning.
Did you email all the exhibits and documents as required five days in advance to this hearing?
I sent them to the architect?
Thank you.
Please proceed and share your screen.
So, Ms. McCullough, you can continue on with the presentation now with your architect.
Ms. McCullough, can you see what's on the screen? You can see what's being shown?
No, no, that's the problem. I don't know what happened to my screen. I don't have a screen. Oh, maybe that's it.
Can you see, can you see, and Mr. Johnson, if you could put up like a photo or something, I just want to see if Ms. McCullough can see what's being shared on the screen, because if not, we may just need to come back.
I shared the screen. The site plan should be on the screen.
What do you want me to see? I don't, I don't, sorry, excuse me. Mr. Johnson, I don't see the
site plan. I only see a folder that lists documents. Oh, I'm sorry. Let me see something.
That's okay. Stop sharing. Share screen. Share.
That's it. Thank you. Ms. McCullough, can you see plans on the screen?
Yes. Okay. Okay, great. So now, since you can see what your architect is showing,
you can explain about your project, and Mr. Shaheed will ask you a few questions.
so ma'am you can continue on this is the uh architecture plans you want to show
let me know what you're trying to do uh with the extra parking space on the side of the property
with the extra parking space on the side of the property?
Well, it's the back of my house, and what I would like to do is put the driveway in
well um
because there has been – I've lived here for 40 years,
and there has been a great increase in the number of people needing parking.
And they just built a, they just built a, they took the church and they built an apartment complex with no parking.
And all of those people are now parking in all, I live on the corner and they park in all my parking spaces and I don't have any place to park.
so i would like to use um use a little bit of my backyard to put a driveway back there so that i
can come and go as i need to do you have any senior citizen now and um i need to be able to park
reasonably close to my house do you have any actual photos of the street okay
what about the street view
I guess Mr. Kenneth
it'll be right in here
is there a street
degress already
yes from the right
of way yes
Mr. Johnson I'm sorry
but you can't testify
Ms. McCullough has to answer questions
so Ms. McCullough
is there a street
degress right there in the middle of the street
looks like I see an X on the floor
on the ground out front
because the lady behind me
already has a driveway
she has a driveway
and she uses
part of the street in front
of where I would want to
put my driveway
he uses it to come and go
got it
so right now
the driveway would be right in front of another parking space
off the street so you're taking one parking
space from the street to
utilize behind your property correct
that you see there
it kind of goes over
onto where my
yard ends
So when she comes out, if you can see the car there, when she comes out, she comes out partially in front of the area where I want to put my driveway.
So we would actually be not using more space, a complete space, because she's already using part of my space.

of the porch of my property at 49 27 or as3 um this is the violation notice in order to correct
that i received from lni um as you can see on the letter it was sent to my old address in new york
um i got it because thankfully i was still in contact with my ex-husband and he sent me a
picture of it when he got it that's how i became aware of the requirements uh for in order to do
this uh job uh and according to the letter um the only thing they ask on the letter is that i get
the required permit for it which were the construction permit and the zoning permit
permit. They give me some time to get it done. If not, they say that I will have to pay these
fines on the letter. They did send two letters. I'm sorry. You can see both of them on this
page. They sent a second letter to make sure that we did got the permit. Of course, I was
in the process. It took some time. But after that, I never got any notification from them.
But after that, I never got any notification from them.
This is a copy of the refusal letter, where they say why the permit was refused.
This is the application for appeal.
According to the application, I'm applying for an appeal because this variance will not create any environmental damage, pollution, erosion,
or increase the danger of flooding in the area.
It will not substantially increase traffic or congestion in the public street.
