ZBA Hearing - May 10, 2023

let me let me read what i have in front of me for the legalization of the erection of an addition

to a semi-existing semi-detached structure no change in use from single family household living

i i don't so is this single family living or is it a duplex well it it it's been when he bought

it it was a duplex um there's he lives on one level he's not asking to change the use at all

whatsoever and someone else what i'm saying it says here it's a single family household living

i don't understand the glory am i right hillary yes it looks like miss nichols it looks like

ellen high only recognizes this property as a single family dwelling not as a duplex

um wait so that that that needs that needs to be addressed because the board is

yeah can't can't grant that because that's not before them today all right so what do you

recommend that we do i think you need to amend the refusal and uh and then once it's amended

let the community group know and come back to to the board I think we should do well we could we

could hear the whole case today arguably but planning may want I don't know if planning is

prepared to weigh in on that we may need to do a resumption hearing based on the amended refusal

okay that's fine with us I mean we just have to go back before them I assumed let me look back

on atlas because i thought that it was well you would know hillary so i'm not uh you know

disagreeing with you so your recommendation is that i finish what i say here and we and we just

put this on hold until we do an amended refusal correct you just need to yes seek permission from

the board to amend the refusal and once we do that i think we should have a resumption um hearing

okay good catch chair i apologize i thought that um it's fine it's fine it's fine okay all right

um so all right well we were here to legalize this portion of mr mcdaniel's property but we'll

come back before you after we've you know amended our refusal and then you know discuss the um

duplex which it was already not that it was zoned but it was already being used in that manner prior

to him purchasing it is there anything else um no um and and uh we're gonna your testimony is fine

you you're officer of the court um questions from the board questions one other thing chair um just

so i can note there were two garage doors at this property before he um closed it in so again i have

that yeah it was you know it was being used as a duplex although it's not currently zoned that one

okay fine um questions from the board no mr chairman

ish i'm here chair phone people out but yeah no questions right questions or comments from the

virtual audience. I see no hands, Chair. Planning, can you take a position now? Yes. Or do you want

to wait to a resumptive hearing? We can take it now. Okay, go ahead, sir. Okay. The property is

indicated for residential use on the city plan or adopted district plan recommends no change

the existing zoning. Single family at this location, the applicant's hardship is self-imposed

due to illegal, unpermitted construction.

Serious structural encroachments are present.

Therefore, we recommend request of variance not be granted.

The case will be closed until we get an amended.

Am I right, Hillary?

Yes, Mr. Chair.

We'll do a resumption hearing based on the amended refusal

so that the public has a chance to weigh in

on the duplex piece of this.

thank you council thank you all right thank you okay um is there anyone in the virtual

All right. Thank you.

Okay. Is there anyone in the virtual audience who's 3.30 hearing has not been called?

I see no hands, Chair.

Okay, everybody. Thank you.

We could done quicker than I thought we were.

Thanks, Chair.

Thank you for all your help and your hard work.

Thanks, Chair. Have a good night.
