Please proceed
We have a band where we put the trash in and then every Monday when the truck
pass by, we put the trash
and the truck.
So, is that a regular trash can
that is
that's removed
like that's movable back and forth
or is stationary in the rear?
It's not movable.
So, it stays in the rear?
So, it stays in the rear, right?
And is it covered by any other structure?
Like, is it covered so that if you're walking past, you won't see the trash can?
Is it covered?
In the sense that if you're covered in the bag, if you're going to pass it, you won't be able to get it.
No, it's covered.
No, but it's covered.
All right. Other questions?
I have a question about the entrances.
I noticed that you have two on the side,
the one that was listed as the front entrance
and one that was listed as the rear.
Are customers only allowed in one or both?
Another question that you have is to enter.
You have to mark that you have two on this side.
You have to enter the list that shows that you have to enter in front of you.
and get a lot of entry
in the company.
Do you have the client
to enter all of the two?
No, the client
has the authorization
to enter all of the two.
Now, customers are only allowed
to enter
to the biggest entrance,
the man.
Okay, and then,
I know you're asking for
food on site.
What type of food
are you hoping to serve?
I don't know if I'm understanding correctly, we will not serve food, it just...
It's not cooked food. It's just
product and goods.
Counsel, do you
want to... Joe, what's the answer
to that? There is no cooked food.
It's retail sales of packaged
goods only.
Okay, so they're not going to be
using the kitchen for the business.
That's correct. Okay.
Cheryl, you have a
question?
Yes, I guess I'm still
confused about how these
two work together.
So this is
printing?
printing or
are you doing in these two
spaces here?
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
I couldn't hear the question, and I can ask again if that's okay.
Yeah, I'm trying to figure out, you know, what, Mr. Consul, what are these businesses?
I'm having a little trouble with understanding how they work together, shall we say.
Oh, so interpreter, so Mr. Gracia is asking for business support services and retail sale of groceries and packaged goods. The board member is asking, could he explain how these two uses go together in one place and what his vision is for the space?
So, now let's try to understand because the question was for you to understand how you can get your company together.
so we will try to understand because the demand was for you to gain
So, you can get one to say you can sell an alimentary product and you can explain how you can sell an alimentary product.
I think it will be just one because it's a retail store where I can sell all those
product together.
Interpreter, he was also asking for printing
and copying business
services. Could you ask him about
that? I'll
bring that on to the screen.
Of course.
Would you like to ask
to put a photo in there
when you make a photocopy or
print?
Yes, it's all in there.
That's what I said.
I have a
print in there.
and we'll have a printer there
where I could offer the service
if people want to print or copy things,
they can do that there as well.
And then can you show the picture again
with the entrances?
yes okay so is that the side of the house the
is that what i'm seeing like behind that or the steps that say go into the steps that take you
to the two apartments that are occupy the floors above it the two floors above it and then this is
That's basically the bottom level of the property. Is that?
Yes, correct. Yeah, street level.
Okay. And then is that a sidewalk there? So people are coming off the sidewalk into the door?
That's the sidewalk. Yeah, it's a wide sidewalk.
All right. Okay. Thank you.

The comprehensive plan recommends no change to the RSA-5 residential single-family zoning at this location.
This neighborhood has been zoned as residential single-family since 1974.
This property has a documented history of commercial retail use. Therefore, the City Planning Commission recommends the Board grant the requested use variance for retail sale of food, beverages, groceries, and for a business support in an existing structure.
So, for example, we will be able to support the structure that exists already.

i'm going to just go through the kind of presentation and highlight some facts and
then have my client come on um as you can see 12301 medford road is not your typical single
family home um this is we are in an rsa4 district but what you're looking at right now is actually
used to be a medical office um and this is academy road so this is the corner intersection of medford
and academy road uh another vantage point of the property the taller part is the residential
and the bottom portion was historically commercial
this again is this is the metro roadside where you see this is the entrance way to the apartments
upstairs in their three-bedroom one-bath apartments uh that my my client currently
has tenants in and a rental license for um i want to highlight the highlight the plans
And what has what has changed, actually, as a result of even meeting with the RCO just last week is the blueprints didn't change at all.
But this is the Pilates studio. This is the entranceway, that gate on Academy Road.
And this is Medford Road. This area right here was going to we were going to propose an apartment studio.
We are withdrawing that. It is just going to be office storage space to support the commercial the commercial Pilates studio.
uh inside uh these are just this is this is the commercial space this is going to be the waiting
Inside, these are just, this is the commercial space.
room uh that we're proposing of the pilates studio and this is the rendering of what my
client hopes to do hopes to beautify beautify this building in this area and again this is
another vantage point you can actually see this is the actual studio itself this door right here
is the door that the commercial door that faces out towards academy road and this is what my client
