You're calling me.
I'm sworn in, but you've got to go through the list on the waivers.
Sorry about that.
Have you emailed an exhibit packet with the required documents, including proof of ownership, tax compliance, refusal or referral, photos and or plans of the property five days in advance of the spring, and have you met with the RCO, and do you have a letter?
Yes and yes.
A few of the tax compliance documents I emailed in yesterday.

have other,
Do we, do we have proof of ownership?
copy of the refusal or referral?
And you have photos and plans?
Uh, yes.
And you've met with the RCO?
And do you have a letter?
Uh, yes.
You may proceed.
All right. The variance is simply to build a staircase from the exterior deck down to grade inside the backyard of the of my home at 566 West Clapier Street.
um if i can share my screen um is it sharing
no so mr fuller yes if you open up your documents and have them present on your screen are you on a
computer yes yes okay so open up your documents have them okay you're doing it now you're perfect
Okay, yes. So this is the rear of 566.
The staircase in question is in character with the neighborhood.
Most of the other houses on this block of Clappier have them.
This is facing east towards Schuyler Street.
You can see there's a staircase here.
There are staircases all the way down.
This house here has a staircase that's just hard to see because it's against the house.
And these are to the west, towards Rosahickam Street.
There are various staircases coming down from the decks here as well.
um the okay um i can show the uh plans for the house it's for the uh the staircase itself it's not
For the staircase itself, it's nothing extraordinary.
extraordinary
Let me see again. There we go.
I mean, the staircase simply comes down parallel to the end of the deck.
Also with me is Aaron White.
He's the contractor in charge of building the staircase.
And so he is available if there are any questions more technical than this.
So, yeah, we met on the 4th with the RCO board about this.
There were no objections voiced.
they were
there was general support
they voted 6-0
to support
and I do not know if there's anything else
any other questions
questions from the board

truth the whole truth nothing but the truth yes i do please proceed
yes i do please proceed yeah i i just wanted to testify and say uh i'm the
I'm the contractor hired to build the staircase and the staircase is fairly straightforward.
We had our plans made by a structural engineer and submitted and there is there was a small
hiccup that we had in the code and I every almost every house on that same block has this staircase
so it's kind of an unexpected issue for us but as I mean it's very standard very straightforward
and we just want to make sure we just make a good staircase that's to code and compliant
