Do you have any other testimony?
Just that it did not demonstrate the least modification possible.
It's going to increase congestion in an already congested area.
All right. Thank you. We see all that in the letter.
Mr. Chair, do you have any questions?
Just a statement in closing here.
That letter and the last test, you know, part of the testimony presupposes that we're here for a use variance.
There's no use variance here. This is a dimensional variance.
We've already shown under Hertzberg that it is the least requested.
The unique physical condition is that it's a monster lot of 3,200 square feet.
And if we were forced to build a single family home, it would be the only single family home on any such size lot.
anywhere near Springer Street.
It just would be an anomaly.
It doesn't make any sense.
If we're not allowed to build two singles
and forced to build up one giant single family home,
then maybe it needs to be rezoned
because the way the code now requires us to build,
it's just bad planning.
This is what we're proposing.
Is there any other comments from the virtual audience?
Chair, we have Nina Curlett.
Could you state your name and spell for the court reporter, please?
Sure. My name is Nina Curlett, N-I-N-A, C-U-R-L-E-T-T.
Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth?
Yes, I do.
Proceed.
So I am a near neighbor to this project.
I actually live adjacent.
I want to make clear that the garages that were originally part of this project were not removed due to any compromise.
The garages that were originally part of this project, as I believe you have read in the review sent by Eman, were essentially misrepresented and impossible.
In order for the turning radius to have been accurate, which it was not, it was not represented accurately on the plans, it would necessitate removing several parking spaces, not only on the other side of the street in the only parking lane, but also necessitate having to use part of the sidewalk in order to even be able to make the turn into and out of those garages.
the egress was an impossible proposition it was completely misrepresented they were removed not
because of compromise i object it was approved by the streets department hold up i object mr
chair was approved by the streets department i i i understand wait um let me ask a simple
question to you do you support the project or not i do not support this project i believe
with garages with no garages involved that particular project do you support it i i do
not support this project with no garages with the re the with the um the design that is on the screen
right now thank you thank you very much thank you very much and thank you for calling in mr
chair by any other comments chair we have edward jones mr chair by the way that last uh um i
understand the last witness lives on a lot that's uh 1600 square feet just like these okay thank
you um mr jones please unmute jones could you state your name and spell for the court reporter
please yes can you hear me and speak just a little louder can you hear me yes do you swear
nothing but the truth yes could you all right proceed one second
I'm sorry.
In regards to the developer,
I mean, I don't think
he realizes that
what originally existed on a lot
was a single family property.
So that's
I'm pretty sure that's why by right
there wouldn't be a problem.
But I just want to, I am a near
neighbor and
And I just want to say, I do not support the project because it's going to add to an already congested block as it is.
I just want to say I do not
support the project. Thank you.
Mr. Jones, thank you very much for calling in.
Mr. Chair, a six bedroom, six bedroom, single family home.
I know. Let me let me get through and see if there's anyone else has something different.
Is there anyone else in the virtual audience has something different to offer?
Chair, we have Susan O.
hi could you state your name for the for the court reporter please and spell is spelled oh
i just want to comment that wait wait one minute do you swear or affirm to tell the truth the
whole truth nothing but the truth yes could could you please offer something that we haven't heard
already what i'm offering is that these conversations keep happening where we're
basically being threatened um this is a threat where we're where it appears that we're given
two choices but this other option of buy right um you know we keep calling it that you have to
have this monstrosity of a single home which it doesn't um so these choices that we're given
um it's it's kind of it's just a dead end street so so miss oh let me let me just ask you this
The only choice that I see right now is what's up.
The twins with no garages in the front.
Do you support that or not?
And I'm speaking this more to the developers
because this is just an ongoing theme.
I know, but what I want to try to do
is concentrate on what we have today.
So do you support this project or not?
All right.
And by the way, thank you for calling in.
Is there anyone else in the virtual audience?
i see no handshare planning commission
thank you mr chairman david fecto city planning commission mr chairman and members of the board
in 2019 the zoning map was amended in this area in accord with recommendations from the
comprehensive plan the property is unusually shallow compared with other lots in this zoning
district the proposed dimensions are also similar to those of existing lots and structures on east
springer street the granting of the variance will not impair the use of adjacent properties
so the city planning commission recommends the board grant the variance from the required
minimum lot area requirements of the zoning code thank you mi 2021 003849 244 east springer street
