Yes. Good morning. Good morning, Your Honor. Members of the zoning board adjustments, council staff, and community members. My name is Vanessa Lattimore, and my application is for a variance for a multifamily in the RSA 5 zoning.

Similar wording

Right now, I am the daughter of Charles F. Willis

Similar wording

He was the owner of the property

Similar wording

My deceased father

Similar wording

And I was looking to turn this property into a duplex

Similar wording

To provide housing for low-income families

Similar wording

In the community

Similar wording

Okay, why don't you proceed

Similar wording

Alan, move the documents along

Similar wording

Please

Similar wording

Okay

Similar wording

do you have photos of the dock of your location yes okay that's that's okay okay

Similar wording

so all the work you're going to do is interior work yes and 26 people voted in favor of this

Similar wording

Yes. Okay. Um, just out of curiosity, what's the rest of the block look like?

Similar wording

Um, I have multiple families. Yes, there's two, um, is a duplex on each side of the property.

Similar wording

Either side of it. Okay. All right. Um, thank you. Um, is there any interior photos or just

Similar wording

outside photos i have outside photos i believe the um document i had sent over two files um i

Similar wording

believe the files that i submitted and i'm not sure why this one doesn't have it but it did have um

Similar wording

interior photos as well and all the work you're going to do is going to be interior work not

Similar wording

exterior right i mean not not you're not putting an addition on it's nothing new just interior work

Similar wording

just interior yes all right questions from the board

Similar wording

no chair i have a question actually a couple but can you go back to the floor plans quickly

Similar wording

um is the the image that we saw of the picture is that an enclosed porch in the front yes it is

Similar wording

Okay. I want to just, you know, however this goes, I want to make sure that she knows that there has to be a zoning application for that enclosed porch, because that enclosed porch is not original, right, to the building when it was built. And she may have an issue with that. So I don't know if this is approved today, that that could be approved as part of this, too. If it's approved.

Similar wording

I just seen that.

Similar wording

Hillary. So this is a change of use application only. So if, if there, if that, if the porch was enclosed without permits, then there would need to be a separate zoning application with plans to legalize that enclosure.

Similar wording

And then if it, if there was a zoning related issue to that, it needed a variance. We have to come back to the board. So just to, just to be clear on that.

Similar wording

So I just want to make sure she's clear on that, too. And sometimes you get it and get approved. And then, oh, by the way, you didn't know that you had to do this, too.

Similar wording

Yes. Thank you for pointing that out. We've had a few of those issues.

Similar wording

Thank you. I have a question about the plans for the facade.

Similar wording

What are your plans for the facade of the property? So it needs to be upgraded. What's the upgrades for the facade?

Similar wording

Say it again. I'm sorry. What are the upgrades for the facade of the property?

Similar wording

like as far as what work are you going to work or are you going to do an exterior of the property

Similar wording

make it look what are you going to do i definitely want to do um outside um like siding to make it

Similar wording

look better than what it is now um it has been sitting for a while um i do have a contractor

Similar wording

that has looked at the property um and let me know that it can be done the outside and interior

Similar wording

of the property to get it to look get it out of the eyesore look at it so

Similar wording

other questions from the board I just have one other question and concern that the first floor

Similar wording

unit is the link space is very small and doesn't really work for a three-bedroom unit a two maybe

Similar wording

Similar wording

Office of Councilwoman Cindy Bass, room 508 City Hall.

Similar wording

Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?

Similar wording

Similar wording

Please proceed, sir.

Similar wording

The councilwoman has no objection to granting the variance.

Similar wording

Thank you very much.

Similar wording

Planning Commission.

Similar wording

John Levicar, Planning Commission.

Similar wording

The comprehensive plan recommends no change to the residential single-family RSA 5 zoning at this location.

Similar wording

the property has a documented history as a multi-family dwelling

Similar wording

the city planning commission therefore recommends that the board grant the proposed variance

Similar wording

hillary can we uh provide so two bedrooms on the first floor

Similar wording

um that's that's a tough question because that is more of a building code issue we can provide

Similar wording

The proviso of the number of units, but I hesitate to proviso of the number of bedrooms.

All right.

Similar wording

All right.
