thank you this application is for the proposed use as a multi-family household living
it was listed as three dwellings i understand now it's two am i correct
No, it's just a single home at this time.
No, no, but what are you asking for, two years?
Oh, yes, yes, yes, duplex.
All right, that's right.
Whereas the proposed use multifamily household living is prohibited in the RSA3 zoning district.
Our vice chair has just a few questions for you, okay?
Good morning, Mrs. Platt.
Have you emailed them all the required documents and exhibits that are needed to proceed with this case five days in advance of this hearing?
I have. Thank you. Please proceed and share your screen.
Okay. Please let me know if can everyone see my screen? We can. Thank you. Okay.
Okay. So that's your application for appeal itself.
This is. Okay. Okay. This is my application. I'm just going to go through these with you.
And this is my refusal letter. Okay. This is the deed to the property. Thank you.
This is the zoning attachment that needed to be put in the window.
uh zoning uh attachment that needed to be put in the window okay
and this is the inside of the home um the house was boarded in 1972 as a gift to my grandmother
as a wedding present when my grandparents got married so unfortunately my grandfather being
a tourist did not update anything in the home so the home needs love and care um i do want to um
just briefly express that I am not a developer. I am not an investor. This is my home. My mother
went into labor with me in this home. So I do have an emotional attachment to this home. This is the
basement. This is the exterior of the home. It is a twin detached shared driveway, detached garage.
And again, I will be tearing that garage down, as you can see back there, to also create a little bit more parking space back there.
I know that that was an issue with some of the other residents on the block.
This is the front of the house.
And there are triplexes at the beginning of the house on both sides of the street.
This is the garage, which I will be demolishing.
This is the tax clearance.
This was the plans for the first, it was the triplex, but I will be doing the duplex and
I do have those plans at the end of the slideshow.
This is the receipt for the mailers.
This is the actual letter of the mailers for all the for the residents in the community.
This is also the letter from the Cops Creek neighbors stating that they were not in agreement with the triplex.
However, they are in agreement with a duplex. And I am OK with that.
And these are the plans for the duplex.
So you guys do have a copy of that as well.
And again, this is not, I'm not a developer.
This is to bring my family in so that we all can,
you know, just, you know, this is not-
And the council member is in favor too, am I correct?
Yes, yes, Jamie McCarthy, yes, she is.
I'm sorry, Garthier, she is in agreement, yes.
Okay, thank you.
Questions from the board?
no mr chairman no chair no chair questions or comments from the virtual audience
mr truth this is hillary excuse me i just wanted to interject quickly um miss platt you mentioned
that you were going to you plan to tear down the garage and add additional parking i just wanted
to let you know that that will require separate zoning permit and plans because this is only a
change of use application um so you can't you can't do demolition and add parking as part of
