Why don't we, why don't you start your.
Thanks.
Share your screen and we'll start.
I've already shared my screen.
Can you see it?
Yeah, I can, sir.
Okay, thank you.
5844, come back.
This is a pretty straightforward case.
This has long been a child daycare, child dancing school, child oriented operation at this home.
My client simply would like to be able to use all the floors and the basement for that use.
At one point, it was, in fact, these are the floors, by the way, second floor, third floor, first floor and basement.
Currently, when we put it in for the application, the basement level was not was no longer apparently able to be zoned for the for the use.
and that's why we're here. This is the building itself.
There's entrance to the basement from the exterior.
Some other exterior shots. Here's some interior shots.
So, it's a very well-regarded, this was taken over by my client and it had become one of
the gold, blue metal, gold star daycare centers.
The first time since there's been a daycare center in this building that has gotten that
kind of recognition since my client took it over, revamped the operation.
It's a real amenity to families in the neighborhood.
And we'll continue to show you some additional interiors.
They provide daycare, after-school care, breakfast, lunch, even a light dinner when necessary.
It's owner-operated.
She works here.
She manages the property herself and the business.
and i'll spare you the additional interior photos we have a lot of them we've got proof of posting
this is the letter that went out to all the near neighbors
we also did a custom flyer at the request of concern community
We sent out to 111 individual households.
The RCO meeting was very well attended, approximately 25 individuals.
Overwhelming majority of the folks support the continuation of the business.
Many of those immediate neighbors that have their children go here.
And here is the prior use.
this is from 11 years ago
and we've got proposed expansion of the daycare
to the basement and third floor
with the existing daycare on the first and second floors
and this was approved like I said 11 years ago
at some point that use
lapsed
so when my client submitted for the use application
believing that she'd be able to get it as a matter of right
she received the refusal uh this was the refusal data 2012 that ultimately led to the zoning
appeal which was granted by this board or the board at the time
When she tried to pull the permit again, it generated the refusal.
when she tried to pull the permit again it generated the refusal
So we simply want to have exactly what there was attached to this property in 2013, the 2013 permit, which is the daycare center to be extended to all the floors, including the basement.
That's it.
And that's exactly what we're doing now, only without the use of the basement.
illegal property addresses 5844-46 come back on the property itself you know the address plaque
the owner decided to put 5846 which is their right there is no real 5846 on the tax rolls
though the tax rolls are for 5844 this is a consolidated lot which is why you have a double
address. Right there, 5844 and 46. Hillary, does that answer our question about the address?
Yes, Mr. Chair. I had looked into the address previously when questions were raised by
the RCO, and it appears that that was a former address. If you look down,
um i don't know if one one oh wait one moment please um if you look at if if uh mr anastasio
is on atlas you can scroll down further but on the license and inspections tab it indicates that
there are no records for this address so you know this this this address actually and it even says
here exists as part of 5844 north camax street okay um so yeah we're we're fine yeah i'm putting
my cursor around the partial address it's actually the legal address is 5844 of course it reverts to
5846 on atlas because it's a consolidated lot bern do you want to bring your client on yes thank you

Thank you, Mr. Chair. Ms. Pearsall, did you hear
my presentation to the board this evening?
And is it true and accurate to the best of your knowledge?
And do you adopt it as your own testimony?
I have nothing further, Mr. Chair.
Questions from the board?
No, Chair.
No questions, Chair.
Questions or comments from our attorney, Hillary Emerson?
Just a couple little things I just wanted to clarify for the record, because I know there was some confusion on this case.
So I looked up the zoning history, so I was a little bit confused how the history is written on the refusal.
and it looks like there was a permit a youth permit pulled after the one that mr anastasio
showed a couple it was pulled a couple months later that actually removed removed the child
care use from the third floor and the basement so i think that's how we we got here is it was
approved and a permit was issued but then somebody went back and decided to just use the first and
second floor um so just to clarify um that's i guess how that's how we got here um the other
the other thing i just want to mention this is also um an rsa3 property um and depending on the
amount of square footage in the property um a parking space or two may be required so that may
have been a refusal that um had been had been missed so i'm just putting that on the record
in case it was missed. Thank you. Okay, questions or comments from the virtual audience?
