to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth yes i do sir great uh thank you uh
proceed. I don't know if this is appropriate or not, but I just wanted to let you know that the
comments have been wonderful, but we have to be mindful that that's not a new neighborhood.
There are people who have been in that neighborhood longer than I've been on the planet,
and these people, the elderly people who are not computer literate, they're not being represented
it by the Zoom meeting. I just want you to know there were people in opposition and it's not fair
to everybody that she's put on here or that have spoken have been young. I can tell by how they're
speaking and by what they're saying. That's a very old neighborhood and to not take
into consideration what they feel based on technology, this digital divide which keeps
their voices should be at least thought of and that's all I wanted to say thank you for your time
I believe I believe the councilwoman uh councilwoman bass held the community meeting
were were any of those neighbors at the meeting it was a zoom meeting okay they were able to uh
call in and we did have people that did call in okay and just to um just uh echo the comments
Ms. Logan, we also did add every proviso except one that the community asked for in order to be
considerate of some of the concerns around trash, hours of operation, entering and exiting the
premises, keeping vehicles on the premise, things of that nature in consideration for the community
concerns expressed at the meeting. So I just, I don't know if you were aware of that, but just
wanted to add that for the record out of 11 provisos um i guess we're you're agreeing to 10
of them yes chairman okay all right is there anyone else in the audience that wishes to uh
speak on this no hands okay uh does the board have any questions no no questions
okay all right uh planning commission hi members of the board uh mason austin representing the
planning commission property is indicated for multi-family residential in the comprehensive
plan and is owned for that use the district plan recommended reinforcing multi-family residential
at this location and directing commercial development to nearby commercial corridors
however given the historic use of the property and existing structure and the non-opposition
of neighbors and the district council office planning has no objection to the granting of
this variance with the request provisos okay uh and i'll go over these provisos these these 10
uh provisos excuse me chair um yes i did i did email a list of the provisos i tried to abbreviate
them but um they aren't much shorter oh did you just email them i did okay hold on one second
we like them short no I think I eliminated maybe five words but it's the best thing to do
okay all right you did shorten them up all right so uh it looks like one two three four five six
seven looks like uh council shortened them up to eight okay I mean but they're all included the
one you agreed to. All right, so I'll read off the eight provisos. Number one, vehicle repairs only.
Number two, all vehicles stored on premises and all work performed are to be done indoors.
Number three, no storage of tires. Number four, waste oil or fluids are to be stored inside
and picked up by licensed disposal service. Number five, hours of operation Monday through
Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed on Sundays. Number six, no dogs on the lot after closing.
Number seven, commercial trash pickup. And number eight, no vehicular access from Champlos
except in an emergency. All right. Did we miss any there? I think that covers it all.
Yes, Chairman.
Okay. All right. So we're going to vote. So with those eight provisos, my vote is yes.
my vote is yes with proviso my vote is yes with with provisos and just for the record that was
for uh calendar number mi-2021-001242-6000 lime kiln pipe all right okay
