photos and or plans of the property five days in advance of this hearing. And do you have
and do you have
a letter from the RCO who I assume you have met with? Yes, totally above me. And I'm actually
represented by an architect. His name is Bart Bida. So if you will, can we allow him to speak?
Excuse me, the architect cannot present. You will have to do it yourself.
Okay. You can be represented by an attorney, but you have to now begin to present your case.
The architects can present, if he wants to share his screen, to present plans.
Right, right.
So you may begin.
Okay, so essentially I'm applying for a variance in zoning.
I applied for two open air parking spots, and I received a refusal because where my house is, I am not zoned for that sort of usage.
Oh, there he is.
so is there anything further i need to state for the record do you have pictures of your house and
of the um area where you'd like to park cars all of that is in the packet um it appears my architect
is actually sharing photos can you see that yes we can okay so essentially this is the um front
of my property um i believe the people that i bought the property from were using it for a
similar purpose but they never actually went and got the property zoned so at this point now i'd
actually like to go ahead and attempt to do that so okay and you met with north uh northern liberties
neighbors association yes and there we have a letter of support yes is there anyone in the
virtual audience who would like to ask questions i see no hands madam chair thank you does the
board have any questions no no okay planning commission ron bednar city planning property
is indicated for single family residential use on the city plan we believe the applicant
It's not demonstrated a necessary hardship regarding requirements of the code standing policy of the city planning commission is not to support off street parking.
It's not accessed from a rear driveway. The application is inconsistent with the established standards. This illegally installed space is only 14 feet deep. We recommend the request for advantage is not.
with that. So you do have parking on the street in Northern Liberties don't you? Yes that's correct
however um we feel it would be beneficial not only for us but for the neighborhood as well because
the parking is quite congested in the area and this would serve to remove two cars off the street
of already crowded parking situation so yes while there is parking it is it getting quite tight
especially as of late and it's on the uh it's on the opposite side of the street from where there
is parking so we're not actually going to be eliminating any additional any uh existing parking
