ZBA Hearing - May 13, 2026

Just storage.

Just storage.

And only the unit on the first floor has access to that basement?

Just one person.

Okay.

And then, what's the plan?

I see you've got the trash closets.

Is the plan to have each tenant store their trash in their unit?

Yes.

All the way that I'm going to use for trash.

and you're going to add an enclosure okay it looks like in the side yard yes we're demolishing the

garage okay um i think the biggest comment i mean obviously there's no uh laundry here on site i

think that's not typical and you've got a whole basement and you've got two ways in and out i

think to figure out ways to get that on site would be nice and then to the

second floor unit is really tight I think you know it doesn't have a living

room I think you got a you've got two bedrooms and a relatively smaller living

space on the second floor one bedroom yet you said one bedroom but the plan says

two yeah let's read the pictures i don't show the picture i show the picture pictures

okay it's the liberal probably works as a one-bedroom and not as a two no it's a one-bed one-bedroom

this is the bedroom that's the living room

Go on, I'm just a liberal.

these are the photos yes that's the second floor not the first yes yes

and you go back to the plan really quick sorry

so it looks like it's furnished as a living room but it's called out

as a bedroom on the plan yes

all the questions questions from our attorney um did you say that

something's going to be demolished oh it's next door no we probably piece of the garage

is that on your property yes all right you're going to be demolishing that okay i just want

to be clear that this zoning permits for a change of use only it's not for demolition of a structure

so you will need no i'm not i'm not going to suck i just forget yeah i just want to make sure you're

you're you're clear that you need a separate zoning permit for that yeah so 36 inches

um walkway go back there okay all right thank you questions from the virtual audience

all hands raised mr chair planning commission

Dana Solomon of the Planning Commission, the comprehensive plan recommends a change in zoning from CMX one commercial mixed use to RSA five residential single family at this location.

There is no unique physical condition or circumstance of this property that would prevent it from being used in conformance with the zoning code.

The city planning commission recommends that the board deny the proposed use variance for two dwelling units.

So, Mr. French, what we're going to do is we're going to talk about your case next Wednesday in the morning when we are in the executive session, and we're going to vote at 2 o'clock next Wednesday on your case, okay?
