Madam Chair, if I could point out that this case and the next on your list are adjacent properties. However, there are two separate property owners. I'm not sure whether they were requesting that this be heard together.
um presumably they should be heard individually since they are separate property owners just so
that you're aware of that okay so i think i should hear them separately don't you think
yes unless um the owner of the first case indicates that she is requesting that they
be heard together okay madam chair miss miss narrow has her hand raised i will can

okay planning commission
Good morning, David Fecto, City Planning Commission, Madam Chair, members of the Board.
The comprehensive plan recommends this property for residential multiple family use.
The setback requirement was placed into the zoning code to require new homes to match the
context of the block. In this case, since most of the homes do not have their third story set back
from the front of the property, we believe that the proposal matches the rest of the block.
We recommend that the Board approve the requested variance.
Okay, is there any, thank you.
Is there anyone else in the virtual audience
who would like to speak on this case?
Madam Chair, Mr. France-Pierre has his hand raised.
I will allow him to speak at this time.
Thank you.
good morning sir can you put your name and address on the record and spell your last name
absolutely good morning madam chair fellow board members that's france pierre council member
johnson's office last name p-i-e-r-r-e council member johnson joins the coordinating rco
in the community and their support of the appeal.
Okay, thank you.
Madam Chair, this is Sharon.
If I could ask that this not be voted immediately,
if you could hold it for just one more case
till the end of the next case,
because I haven't been able to check the tax compliance yet.
Okay, great.
Thank you.
Calendar number 0258-335 East Price Street.
The attorney is Joe Consul.
Mr. Consul has been promoted to panelist, Madam Chair.
Thank you.
Hi, Mr. Consul, can you put your name and address on the record and spell your last
name and then I'll swear you in?
Yes, of course.
Joseph Consul. Consul is C-O-N-S-O-L-E. My address is 1 West 3rd Street, Suite 204,
Media, Pennsylvania, 19063. Do you swear or firm to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
I do. Do you also agree to waive the reading of the refusal and stipulate to its accuracy?
I do. Have you emailed the exhibit packet with proof of ownership, tax compliance,
have you emailed the exhibit packet with proof of ownership tax compliance refusal or referral
refusal or
photos and or plans of the property five days in advance of this hearing and have you met with the
rco and do you have a letter yes to everything okay great you may proceed hey board uh joe
Council here on 335 East Price Street. This is in East Germantown. We're here with two
representatives from National Sign Corporation. This is an appeal to put signs on a storage
facility at this property. The refusal that we're getting is because in ICMX, you're
prohibited from putting signs above the second floor windowsill, and we are seeking to do that.
I'll show you guys what we're trying to do. Hopefully you'll agree it's pretty unobtrusive.
um so one of the signs that uh is above the the legal space is uh this one here um the it's in
the gray or the light gray and then uh the other one is here uh and it's on the corner of the
building here, just above the second floor. So we got a refusal for two of the signs.
And if you have specific questions about the signs or the shape, I can call the folks that
drafted all this. But I guess the takeaway from my end is we met with the RCO and we have full
support the proviso being they asked that the um that the developer of the builder or the owner
install safety lighting on the sides of the building uh facing both rittenhouse and osceola
streets which we wholeheartedly uh agree to and you know if that's enforceable by the board
it is not it's too vague for it to be enforceable by lni but if they can reach a private agreement
that it would be completed yeah happy to we have emails um saying we agree to that so if they'd like
anything in writing that's perfectly acceptable and the rco is faith community development
corporation oh yeah part of support faith community development corporation if you look
on the bottom here we got support with proviso as i just explained okay does the board have any
questions? No. No. No. Okay. Is there anyone else who would like to testify on this case in the
virtual audience? If so, please raise your hand. Madam Chair, Mr. Charles Richardson has his hand
raised i will allow him to speak at this time thank you hi charles
