Any objection? If not, we'll go forward with this case. MI 2020-000162, 701 West York Street.
No hands are up at this time.
Do we need to go through with confessor's statement?
No, I believe because this is a follow-up hearing if you just get the number of units that are required so you can add it as a proviso.
So we can vote on it, right? MI-2020-000162, 701 West York Street. My vote is yes with the Proviso. Maximum 40 units?
Yes with Proviso. Yes with Proviso.
Yes with Proviso.
If I may just add an accessory meeting room to the Proviso so we can have that without LMA.
Maximum 40 units and an accessory community room.
Yes. Thank you. Thank you. All right. We concluded.
Chair, if I could just add one more thing to the record. Number 11 on your list for today
was the request to withdraw. And I believe we continued it on record. If we can put on record
that this is withdrawn by the attorney, Oleg Sokolov. At Baltimore Avenue?
Correct. Okay. MI 2020-001079-4015 Baltimore Avenue is withdrawn.
Yes, thank you. And I do have an additional hand up. Attorney Justin Crick.
Actually, I just emailed Mr. Crick because this was one of the
add-ons for Erie Avenue it was um we were he was given another week to submit the letter or to try
to obtain the letter in the meantime we just received the letter um and I wondered if it

you in please you swear and affirm to tell the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth
i do thank you please proceed members of the board i've reached out to the rco four times
last week i reached out to the councilwoman bass's office as well to try to have any response to our
requests through a community meeting in this matter we have heard none i understand that
the board would like to probably continue this case as a result which we're fine with for this
time but i ask that must listing next listing if the rco is not able to meet with us so we don't
hear a response from either them or councilwoman bass's office that we'd be allowed to proceed
before we go any further is anyone from councilwoman bass's office
listening in and if so please raise your hand
chair we have charles richardson from the councilwoman's office
mr richardson you're still under oath from this morning please identify yourself for the record
good afternoon mr chair and board charles richardson from the office of councilwoman
cindy bass room 312 city hall um logan civic association has uh been unable to do any type
of rco work uh due to the pandemic or their their feeling that they can't do anything with regard
to the pandemic so zoom is out and so is uh any in-person meeting but uh i've been working with
the planning commission and what we're going to do is reassign those cases that are outstanding
with logan at this point in time to some of the other rcos in the area so mr mulvihill will be
hearing from from uh the planning commission sometime very shortly with regard to the new
assignment thank you so we will continue you're not adverse to continuing this case correct no
affair not at all and mr mulville basically asking for a must be heard i believe yes your honor
pardon me uh chairman this has been going on since september 1st i've sent multiple emails with zero
response which is not difficult for even an rco not holding a meeting i would have loved to have
known this earlier or have been contacted by the council person's office to be made aware of this
fact rather than spending several months spinning my tires with an ineffective rco so i understand
the council the council person's position here but my clients just one guy this is for a single
property at this point and this puts a significant financial stress on him
so okay heard for next listing with irrespective whether an rco is assigned or not would be ideal
for us chairman understood i have faith in mr richardson and councilwoman bass's office i'm
sure they'll work it out. Having said that, MI 2020-001229-542 West Rockland Street is continued.
