And that's Verne, V-E-R-N, like November.
Yeah, I was just spelling for the.
Okay, for the court reporter.
Yeah, but I guess we're good.
Does the court reporter need that spelled?
No, I do not. Thank you.
Thank you.
Do you agree to waive the reading of the refusal and stipulate to its accuracy?
Thank you. So this is...
Mr. Aestasio, can you hear me?
Yes, I can. Can you hear me?
Yes. Do you agree to waive the reading of the refusal and stipulate to its accuracy?
Okay, have you emailed the exhibit packet with proof of ownership tax compliance, a copy of the refusal or referral, photos and or plans of the property, five days in advance of this hearing, you met with the RC, and do you have a letter?
Yes, to all of that.
Thank you. You may proceed.
Thank you. So this is the subject property. It's right on the corner.
there's the side of it previously this lower level was a doctor's office approved by the
zoning board of adjustment and then there are two previously approved apartments above we are
simply dealing with this first level the application is for personal services nail salon
here's the interior as it exists it needs considerable amount of work which my client
is willing to do. There are two parking spots that come with the property. One of the provisos
that the RCO had asked for was that we make these spots available to clients of the personal
services center. And of course, we agreed to that. In exchange, we were able to receive a letter
of non-opposition which is here not opposed with proviso and again it speaks to the available
parking spots excuse me this is Sharon Mr. Anastasio can I ask because this is the there
are existing two residential units was parking required for those units and concerned with so
would this generate another variance? Parking was not required with those because the application
was not for, the previous application did not speak to parking at all. It was just use.
Okay. Thank you. You're welcome. And the variance that was granted was in, I think that says 19,
yeah, 61, was actually for the doctor's office. The two-family dwelling was already in existence.
okay thank you and you've met with the mayfair civic association and the 64th democratic board
there's a letter of non-opposition i met with mayfair and i believe the other rco was
included in that but we have a non-opposition with provisos as this shows
okay does the board have any questions no I have my client here no if I could get her to
uh to uh just adopt my testimony absolutely thank you I appreciate that Judy could you raise your
hand she's been allowed to talk
it's right here here hello are you there judy yes yes i'm here thank you did you hear my
presentation to the board this morning yes and is it true and accurate to the best of your knowledge
and is it true and accurate to the best of your knowledge yes and do you adopt it as your own
yes and do you adopt
testimony uh-huh thank you very much okay i'm sorry this is sharon can i interrupt for one
more minute um i'm only concerned that if the board adds this proviso that the existing parking
spaces will be made available to clients of the business are those the existing parking spaces
have they ever been approved are they legal do we know
if they were approved it was prior to 1961 and everybody parks back I mean it's a there's a
shared driveway so it appears as though they were at one point legalized although they don't speak
to it in any of the history on Hanson or Atlas okay so if the board adds that proviso it's just
with the understanding that you may have to legalize those spaces understood thank you okay
judy are you still on yes do you swear if i'm to to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth
yes okay um planning commission we get her spelling as well
sure judy your name can you please spell your last name yes j-i-a-n-g down
