you're going to need to have that
and I'm not seeing that on these plans
and that's of concern.
Muy bien, sí, entonces mire, y aquí
estoy hablando porque yo trabajé en el Departamento de Salud
por mucho tiempo, pero va a necesitar
diferentes tipos de equipo, como por
ejemplo el lavaplatos, que ese sería un
lavaplatos del estilo comercial, y eso no
lo veo como está dentro de los planos,
porque no es establecido dentro de los
planos. Entonces sí es un poquito
difícil si va a tener máquinas, se va a
necesitar ventilación, entonces sí es
It's hard to visualize it, because it's not in the plan.
And that's what I'm worried about a little bit.
In fact, I have another business that sells food.
So, we have to have, as she said, to have to have the dishes,
we have to have to have something to do with the water,
to have the water, to have other things that need to be done for labor.
Yeah. So as a matter of fact, I have another business and that sells food.
And yes, I know that we're going to need a dishwasher place, you know, the place where you could drain the water appropriately, a place where you would wash the mops and other stuff.
The hand washing sink.
Can we go back to your plans?
Can we go back to your plans, please?
Go quick.
Rapidito.
The far left.
Is that the first or second floor?
La parte izquierda.
El extremo izquierdo.
Interpreted.
Could you repeat that?
You said the far left.
Is that the far left?
Is that the second floor?
Is this the second floor?
This one?
The food prep is going to be on the second floor
with a family dwelling behind it?
The plan on the far left
is the roof plan.
It's basically the site plan.
That's all that is.
I was just a little confused.
With the hot and cold prep.
That's just like the prep.
No, eso lo mete solo en los planos del segundo piso.
No es nada de eso.
Ah, ya entendí.
Thank you.
Gracias.
I just have one question.
Go ahead, Michael.
Is the refusal incorrect?
Because the refusal says of foods, retail sales, beverages, and grocery.
But there's no grocery here.
Sí, porque quería saber si el rechazo estaba incorrecto, porque dice acá que es una venta al pormenor de alimentos, bebidas y otros productos, pero no veo los otros productos.
Eso vienen siendo las papitas, cositas como papitas y también jugos. Eso viene siendo más o menos el grocery.
So the groceries would be like the chips, like the juice.
it's so the groceries would be like the chips uh like the juices and things like that juice boxes
things like that or fruits things like that so are you so are there are the things that you're
selling that like grocery items are those things to go with the food that you're cooking
ahora las cosas que va a vender como los otros productos que va a estar vendiendo las frutas
y los chips y los papitas
y todo eso. ¿Eso es para acompañar
con la comida que usted va a estar
vendiendo?
quien dice? Sí.
Muchas veces, también por
aquí, por el área, hay muchos
niños que le gustan
comprar papitas,
otras personas que le gustan comprar
frutas, que no quieren
comer algo porque ahora mismo no se sienten
por comer sándwich o cosas
Yeah. I mean, the thing is that in the area, there are a lot of kids, for example, that just
want to buy the chips or maybe people that don't want to buy like a sandwich. They just want
something like a fruit or something like that. Okay. So I'm a little concerned that the use
category here is not correct. I think this is more of, it sounds like this is more of a takeout
restaurant as opposed to a grocery store. I don't see aisles where regular groceries are being
sold, just items that you would see at a typical takeout restaurant that are sold to go with your
meal. Y que me parece que me parece aquí de que la categoría no está correctamente utilizado
porque no es como una tienda en sí donde porque no veo no veo pasillos no veo nada es donde la
gente va y elige lo que quiere llevar, sino que son
como artículos que la gente,
es más, me parece como un restaurante para
llevar.
Dile que quiera en un segundito.
El de mi huaseca.
Además, un momento.
do you see the refusal
right i see that's what the refusal says and i see that's what was put on your application
but that doesn't mean that that's the actual use that that you're asking for it appears that
the wrong use may have been requested and so ellen i put the use you requested on the refusal
but that that really isn't what you're doing at the property it sounds like the main focus
is cooking or preparing different types of meals and sandwiches for people and if that's the case
that is a restaurant not a grocery store.
yes like it says here it says more here like half food right so you you can sell as you can sell
hot foods as part of a grocery store but it can only be a small portion of it if it's more than
a certain percent and i'd have to ask what percent but if it's more than a certain percent then it is
considered a takeout restaurant and not a grocery store si es correcto usted puede ponerlo puede
venderlo en una tienda en una tienda en sí lo puede vender sin embargo eso solamente puede ser
como una pequeña porción pero cuando es mayor de esa porción entonces en ese caso ya se consigue
tengo que preguntarle el qué porción es pero en ese caso si es un mayor de esa porción ya se
considera, tendría que colocarlo como un restaurante
en sí.
Sí, yo creo que lo que tiene que hacer
primero es, lo siguiente
que tiene que hacer en este momento es
ingresar una
carta donde
se haga una enmienda al rechazo
yo no frente frente fili latin 6 que
you know uh frente a frente philly latin 6
que es el restaurante que está es grocery
en restaurant que está frente a frente al negocio
es más o menos así
yeah so the the so the store that's right across
that's right in front of right across the business
it's more or less like this
pero no venden sandwich
ellos solo venden aquí se vende
yeah but i i don't i don't know that that we we still have to have this one straight so
uh we want to see what if there's any comments from the audience or
where do i need to send the amended letter for the amended refusal letter
we will provide you the email addresses in the chat
and hillary will have a resumptive hearing with to put this or do we want to go to the audience
the virtual audience
we can do a resumptive hearing yes i think that would be the most appropriate in this case
All right, so she'll take care of the letter, things of that nature. We're going to have schedule a resumptive hearing, and that will be on 1 13 26 at 9 30 a.m.
Muy bien, entonces vamos, le vamos a mandar la carta. Vamos a volver con eso. Vamos a hacer una reunión de revisión y esa reunión de revisión va a ser en el 1 de enero 13 del 2026 a las 9 y 30 de la mañana.
Okay, I have some updated drawings, I mean some clearer, you know what I mean, drawings, I don't know we can ask for that.
So I think what you need to do is you have to put on the drawings what you intend to do there.
And the architect will know how to do that.
And the architect will know how to do that.
okay interpreter thank you very much we appreciate your time and uh thank you for sitting through
the fire drill and everything else and uh we'll we'll see you uh shortly thank you

it'll come right up to you right hi could you please state your name and spell it for the
stenographer kevin k-e-v-i-n valentine v-a-l-e-n-t-i-n-e attorney for the property owner
wang maizian right do you swear or affirm to tell the truth the whole truth and nothing but the
truth i do our board secretary cheryl l gaston has a few questions for you uh good morning council
did you submit your documents uh for this hearing five days in advance
and uh do you waive the reading of the refusal and stipulate to its accuracy
thank you yes you may proceed and share your screen
Well, I'll get to my narrative initially.
My client is trying to erect a pergola in her front yard, and she's seeking a variant
from Zoning Regulation 14701 that stipulates that any structure for an RSA-5 property,
the setback for that structure be no longer or shorter than setbacks on the immediately
adjacent properties. The issue here is that there are no pergolas on the immediately adjacent
properties however there are a number of pergolas in the um surrounding blocks one on that block
and one on the surround two on the surrounding blocks that have no adjacent pergolas
so now and as you as you start as you make your presentation we we've had some comments this
morning as we've started to look at the case that we have two different there's a photograph that
That is a just a fence.
a fence and then we see a photograph where it's behind a large
And then we see a photograph where it's behind a large.
bamboo fence. As you make your presentation
just try to explain this. Okay, I'm just going to try to pull up what
you said there was a photograph
with... Yes, so when you had
submitted some documents initially when this case was listed
there was photos of the pergola already built
and a three-foot chain-link fence around it,
which was consistent with the plans.
The photos that were submitted for today
show about a six-foot-plus opaque bamboo fence
around the pergola, so you can't even see the pergola.
And that was not in the plans,
and that was not included in the scope of work here.
So that is something that would need to be addressed separately.
I think, yeah, I think that the bamboo fence was put up because the owner didn't want the construction of the pergola to be like a distraction to the neighborhood.
So that was just something that they temporarily put up.
The chain link fence still exists directly behind that bamboo encasing.
Yeah, but all the pictures that were submitted just showed that fence, not what was behind the fence for today's hearing.
So that's why it was a bit confusing.
It looked like they had added a fence because the prior pictures showed the pergola already built as well as the chain link fence.
The pergola has been erected.
The chain link fence is there.
As I said, that bamboo fencing was a temporary thing just so when they have their workers coming in that it wouldn't disturb onto the street.
But it looked like it was put up after the pergola was built.
that's that was the confusing thing so i don't understand why it's why it's addressing
if it's a construction thing because it's our it's already been built you just leave it on
just leave it on okay all right great great great the um why don't you start showing your photos
okay all right have that discussion while we're doing okay
This is the, oh, you can't see that.
I can see it on my screen.
I'm trying to get it to yours.
All right, okay, let's see.
Screen button, bottom of the screen.
