Yes, a bay can accommodate actually about three cars.
And what's the depth, do you know, off the top of your head?
No, I don't know off the top of my head.
But you can definitely get three cars in each bay.
And with the doors closed?
I have a question.
So this is all one business?
Yes, yes.
And are the bays, do he rent the bays out for storage, vehicle storage for some folks?
My understanding, previously, all of these bays had different tents that were rented.
When Mr. Cook purchased it, he began to use them.
Some of them were rented, and he used the balance of them for his business.
So the ones that he rents out, does he have any kind of policy for them not to park on the pavement?
Mr. Cook?
Or signage or something like that for them?
Yes, Mr. Cook, there's two parts to the question. I guess one, is your business occupying all bays? And if you're leasing some of them, do you have some instructions for people who you rent to relating to parking on the street?
Mr. Cook?
Yes, can you hear me now?
You can now, sir.
Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, yes, there would be no parking on the street because I know I'm already getting pushed back from the neighbors.
So I don't I definitely don't want anything else to interfere.
That would include the sidewalk, too. It's the sidewalk.
And yeah, no, no, definitely no parking on the sidewalk.
OK. And the other question was, are you is your business occupying all of the bays at this time or will you know?
OK, you will. You have some of these that are rented to others.
yes you mean like now is it i don't understand the question well and again the question was
they want to know if there's a single business operating the property and you've said no to that
so there's some bays you still rent to others is that's is that correct for storage for storage
only and for those bays have you or have you produced any instructions to those tenants how
to not park in front of their
bay or on the sidewalk in front of their
bay? Yes.
Okay, so they have
that from you? Yes.
And how will that be enforced
by you?
Verbally.
I'll go and check
to make sure that they're not
following the rules.
Okay, and if they
are, would that be an infraction
of the lease that you have with them?
Yes, it's definitely cause for termination
of the lease.
Other questions?
Yes, okay.
asking questions
about the spray
painting, is it?
So we have
you have a
ventilation system for this?
I'll be getting
one installed.
Okay, so
So you're doing, it says personal vehicle repair, but you're also doing body, fender, and spray painting as part of this?
Light body, no painting.
Light body.
Yeah, yeah.
I thought you're asking for paint.
Do you mean now?
don't like no i'm talking about your plan here you're oh yes the plan yes the plan is to have
painting yes okay so do you have like uh you're planning to have paint booths how are you planning
to to do this is that what that is in this space here that you're pointing out on the plan is for
painting yes a paint booth yeah a paint booth okay so that means you have to have um exhaust system
uh yes and then there's the question about um hazardous waste um
removal how are you handling that uh it's a company called safety clean
that that handles the waste removal right and usually for um these paint booths you have to
have a certain fire reading um have you looked into that is that part of what you're planning
to do here yes okay all right you're saying yes but you're my my question is more um have you looked
um have you looked into all the parts of this painting yes it's companies that come out and
into all the parts of this
when they when they build the paint booth they build the fire uh system with it like it comes
installed with it so it's not like you can just get a paint booth without the uh the fire uh system
it's already installed in it so i definitely done my due diligence on that all right and then i guess
I'm trying to figure out okay so um from this plan from what I'm understanding was discussed
before there's this parking lot that's over to the right hand side is that
and then people would come in they they would park the car and then come into an office say
to I guess check the car in and say what kind of services that they're going to have
And then there's no entrances here into these different parts of this, other than from this area, or where are the other entrances to these garages or whatever you want to call them, or this part of the building, the bays?
Well, the two entrances, can you make this screen bigger?
The two entrances here, I believe, the top side of the triangle or the bottom of the garage?
The bottom part.
So why don't you show where the office is and how you would get to the office, I think.
No, I'm talking about just getting into the base themselves because I'm not seeing how you.
yeah the bays only have roll up roll up uh garage door in front of each bay that's the
but there's to your point um there's no there's no pathway from the other side the back side of
the bays to the main area they walking around they have to walk around ah okay all right at
least at this point the way because it's a solid wall there gotcha okay all right thank you other

Application is for six units.
It's legalizing pre-existing use.
Submitted in my 66-page exhibit packet that I'm moving into evidence is a very long history of zoning for this property.
That shows this as multifamily, which is why the coordinating RCO gave unanimous support, as everybody knows this, to be a six-family dwelling.
There was a six-unit rental license.
It's been outfitted, according to the International Building Code, for a six-family dwelling.
and anyway so let's get to
the interior so you can see
what we're talking about. Apartment
number one is this efficiency
apartment right here.
There's a
main hall
and it takes you to the back which is
apartment
two which is a one bedroom.
Going up
the stairs to the second floor
you're going to be in a
main hallway here.
You've got one unit here.
Second floor.
And you've got another efficiency in the front
where my cursor is.
And you have the identical layout at the top floor.
Another efficiency up front.
And a one-bedroom apartment.
