de atrás del apartamento
si era de acuerdo a
o la medida de la propiedad
la línea de propiedad como tal
pero eso en sí no importa porque lo que
a mí más me preocupa es que
cuando ellos salgan del apartamento
en el sótano
No, que ellos entren directamente a la entrada como tal y que estén expuestos a los otros vehículos.
No es como los demás edificios que ellos tienen un lugar para estacionamiento,
pero que cuando salen de la habitación como tal o de la vivienda como tal van directamente a la entrada y pueden ser expuestos a vehículos.
No, pero la parte de atrás, la parte de atrás que tiene va a ser privada porque solo va a tener su carro parqueado allí.
So that wouldn't be a problem because in the back, that would be a private driveway for their vehicle only.
And then on the side, there is an emergency exit. And that would be it.
I think that's
Mr. John's point
Is there other questions from the board?
I have a question
Where is the trash stored now
and where is
I guess in terms of
access to
the utilities
the mechanicals
how is that achieved
in your drawing?
Así que ahora tengo otra pregunta.
¿Cómo es que tienen acceso a basura y para también las utilidades en este esquema de planos?
Esa basura está puesta enfrente porque el basurero siempre pasa enfrente allí de la casa.
So the trash is in the front of the house because the garbage truck comes from the front of the house.
other questions
and who has access to the basement like how much access is given to the basement in terms of like
and who has access to the basement like how much
the second and the third units on the uh of the building would they have access to the basement
y la unidad es of the basement y la este el segunda y tercera planta de la unidad van a
tener acceso a el sótano no no no eso es aparte los apartamentos están aparte arriba eso yo este
so um they don't have accents to um the basement the only two entrances and exits
are the emergency exit on the side and then the back entrance
so the back entrance is considered this his main entrance to that uh lower unit
You can't do that. You cannot enter through a bedroom. You can't enter a unit through a bedroom and a room that's subject to locking. You can't do that. That can't be your main entrance.
So that can be your main entrance, because they can't enter for a fourth unit.
Yes, that can change. That can be different.
I'm trying to do what you ask me.
I'm trying to do it with permission, because many people have induced me to do it without permission,
but I don't want to do something illegal.
So that could be changed and that's why I came here so that I can get your permission so that I could do it the correct way because there's been many people that told me, oh, that you don't need to get any sort of permits and don't don't do it that way.
but I wanted it to do it the legal way.
So I'm here to listen to what you have to say
so that I can make those changes
like you're telling me.
Other questions from the board?
Questions or comments from our attorney,
Hillary Emerson.

Are we just,
I'm just basing it off
of the letter
that was in the exhibit packet
that said a meeting
was occurring
on July 25th.
Yes, and they were there and they checked the basement and everything.
Okay, so it was a site visit?

It appears that the letter

All right, questions or comments from the virtual audience?
Preguntó comentarios de la audiencia virtual.
And, Mr. Chair, I just ask if the applicant could submit this letter to us for our records along with a copy of the floor plans.
And I think there were some additional photos that were not previously submitted as well.
Whatever you have, please send now to our office, OK?
Así que todos esos documentos, la carta, los planeos y otras fotos que uno había incluido previamente, si no los puede enviar.
Thank you.
Planning Commission.
No hands, Mr. Chair, please excuse the interruption.
Thank you very much. Planning Commission.
Amy, what the Planning Commission?
This property is indicated for residential use on the city plan.
Así que esta es la Comisión de Planeo. Esta propiedad está para uso de residencial en los planos.
El distrito recomienda que no haya cambio en la zona como estaba previamente en esta ubicación.
the applicant has not demonstrated that the property cannot be used in conformance with
the zoning code due to unique physical circumstances or conditions
y el aplicante no ha podido demostrar que esta residencia puede ser utilizada como está
adecuadamente en la zona y en las condiciones necesarias therefore we recommend that the
requested variance not be granted.
Por eso es que nosotros recomendamos que las variencias pedidas no sean dadas.

Welcome.
Hey, so my name is Robert Klein.
We've owned 444 Oakmont Street since 2003.
44-44 Oakmont Street since 2003.
It was the very first apartment me and my girlfriend at the time moved into, now my wife.
It was, you know, very
We started our family in this home, quickly outgrew it when our daughter was born.
The home means a lot to us, and we're hoping we can get this visitor accommodation license so that we can continue to own it.
The city introduced new licensing requirements, or I'm sorry, sorry.
After losing both of our tenants around Christmas in 2022, we decided to make improvements to the apartment and try it out as an STR.
We spent roughly six months improving the home so that it would be a good STR rental.
We'd work on nights and weekends when we didn't have any other commitments.
It was the perfect storm for us.
Right after we finished everything and went live, the city introduced new licenses, requirements, and we're fine getting whatever license we have to get.
But right now, we cannot get the license because of the zoning.
So that's what we're here for today, to seek a variance to the zoning that will allow us to get the visitor accommodation license.
We have a landscaper that we've had probably for 15 years.
Trash is put out weekly.
We have two dedicated parts.
Why don't you start showing your documents besides just the one, okay?
So this is just showing that we post at the meeting.
This is the bedroom.
This is the back driveway.
This is the, it is a corner property.
This is the front corner.
Trash is inside the yard and right outside, you know, right along the side of the house.
This is the kitchen, living room, kitchen, picture, living room again.
so that's pretty much all of our our pictures let me let me ask you this let me ask this is it
two apartments it is two apartments yes so shows again should you show the second
floor apartment shows the kitchen on the second floor
that's the kitchen on the second floor yes all right then what's the first floor
so i don't have any pictures of the first floor right now um i thought it was just because so we
we're not doing anything in the first floor. We, we had a tenant get out and then we did.
But my question is, are you going to put a tenant in the first floor? You're saying you want to
make that an Airbnb too? We want to make that an Airbnb as well, but we haven't,
