I did bring everything with me because when I got the message back, it just said only part of it was accepted.
Okay, so Ms. Watson, what we're going to have to do is we're going to continue this. We can't accept documents now because we have to examine them, and that's why we asked for them five days in advance. So I'm going to continue the case, and should you have any thoughts in the future about what you need, please call the office, and they'll give you everything and work with you to get your documents together, okay?
everything was uploaded, and I did get the confirmation that it was saved. I don't know
what happened. Yeah, but we don't, am I correct? Yeah, no, unfortunately, the only thing we have
is the refusal, and I think the application for appeal, and the letter you sent to the neighbors.
There's several other things that we are missing. If you're having technical issues uploading those
things, please contact the office, because they can help you, and alternatively, they could be
submitted in advance via email if for some reason the system is not working for
you. But I believe Ms. Dandy can speak with you afterwards and I'll give you some
assistance as well. Thank you. So MI2024

This is a resumptive hearing. Mr. Masters, could you please state your name and spell for the stenographer?
Steve Masters, S-T-E-V-E, M-A-S-T-E-R-S, here with the law firm of JustLaws.
Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth?
So this is a resumptive hearing. Mr. Masters, would you please report for us where we stand?
Yes, I actually have to call up my exhibits on my computer for a second.
But we have, there were four new revised exhibits that we presented to the board last Friday.
One of them is the tax clearance.
One of them is the photos for the resumption hearing.
One of them is a sealed plan from the survey district for the lot subdivision.
And the fourth one is the revised refusal.
So I apologize. I didn't know I was going to get called that quickly.
I have to log in, so that's the delay.
So that's the delay.
dbo computer okay
Yeah, I have to log in is the problem in order to share my screen.
It looks like it's happening.
I need to be a promoted panel.
Here we go.
Mr. Masters, when you see the invitation
to be joined as a panelist,
please accept it.
I believe I am joined now.
Let's see.
The first is on page three of our new Exhibit Binder.
The revised refusal from LNI indicates that we are, in addition to creating two lots from
one existing lot, we are also erecting rear additions to the attached buildings size and
location as shown. It doesn't change the refusal, which is the same grounds, which is that the
width of the lots are too small. The next one is our survey on page 14.
This is the LOTS Subdivision Survey Map plans, and it is signed by the 7th Survey District
project on August 8th, 2024. Our third new exhibit is page 42, the zoning poster, uh,
the zoning notice poster and the posting of the refusal and the date is May 7, 2025 for
hearing and then our last uh and new exhibit is the tax clearance on page 45
issued april 25th 2025 to williams 911 upland street llc which is the property owner

the comprehensive plan recommends no change to the rsa 5 single single family residential zoning
at this location. The proposed minimum lot width is minor and in keeping with the purpose and
spirit of the zoning code. The City Planning Commission recommends that the board grant the
proposed dimensional variance for minimum lot width. Thank you. MI 2024-006-753-1207-209

Thank you. Thank you so much. Okay, thank you, sir. Mr.
so mi2025 000447 4921 haverford avenue um would you please state your name and spell for the
sonographer? Alan Nockamson, A-L-A-N, last name Nockamson, N-O-C-H-U-M-S-O-N. Do you swear or
affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth? I do. Could you identify your
client, a relationship to the property? Yes. For 4921 Haverford Avenue, my client is SNC
Legacies LLC, the owner of the property. And coming up to the left of me,
Ms. Camille Parcell, who's the owner of that entity.
Okay, and I understand that we have a letter of support from Mill Creek Advisory Council,
a letter of non-opposition of account to Member Gauthier,
and a letter of support from Rebuilding Together Philadelphia,
and also a petition with 30 signatures on it.
That is correct.
Our vice chair has a few questions.
Good afternoon, counsel.
Do you agree to wait to read another refusal or stipulate towards accuracy?
Have you emailed in all the required documents and exhibits that's needed to proceed with this case
five days in advance of this hearing wait we have thank you sir council please proceed and share
your screen thank you all right we're here to present uh 49 21 havertford avenue uh we have
11 exhibits in our packet we're going to start with exhibit number one which is the notice of
refusal this is an rsa 5 property we're looking to do two family household dwelling as you'll
see in our presentation packet it makes sense given the history of the property and you know
this around the area here's our letter of support from the mill creek advisory council that the
chair stated as well as rebuilding together and then there was a letter of non-opposition from
the council member as well our petition of 30 signatures is also included here as an exhibit
so why don't we start our presentation okay uh yeah so in terms of our presentation so this was
advertised to us as a two-family dwelling as you can see here from zillow
maps of the area you can kind of see where we are in the neighborhood
we're right off of haverford avenue um i think this is really our exhibit a this we purchased
this as a burnt out shell previously it was used as a two-family dwelling with a front entrance for
each of the units and this is um haverford avenue to the rear of the property so we go street to
street from fairmont from haverford to fairmont avenue and then this is the property in in 18
just to show you that this was an active two-family dwelling in 2018 and then these are orange notice
posters, Haverford Avenue to the right of the property and to the left of the property, Fairmont
Avenue to the right of the property and to the left of the property. Our plans and drawing very
simplistic but makes the point. If you look at the floor plans for unit number one, we get in
on the right-hand side. We have a dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and one bedroom. There is no
living in the basement. Unit number two, you go to the door on the left, you go up a flight of steps
And again, an open floor plan of one bedroom, one bath.
RCO meeting notice that we had on March 10th, along with proof of mail, email that notice, as well as mailing in that notice.
You know, our application for appeal that we filed with the ZBA.
The, you know, our application for appeal that we filed with the ZBA, and then the deed to the property showing the SNC at Legacies LLC is the current owner of the property. And then finally is our certificate of tax clearance. With that being said, I would ask that Ms. Parcell get sworn in and I have a few questions for her.
Could you please state your name and spell for the stenographer and try to sit close to the microphone, please.
afternoon everyone camille your soul camille c-a-m-i-l-l-e here soul he light full e-a-r-s-a-l-o
you swear or affirm to tell the truth told truth nothing but the truth yeah please proceed counsel
uh yes camille you heard everything i had to state today about your zoning matter
is it true and correct including the fact that it was built out as two units um it was advertised
to you as a two-family dwelling, and do you adopt my testimony as your own?
Yes, I do.
Thank you.
Helen, could you tell us how she's going to handle the trash in the building?
Well, there's two options.
We go to the community like a picture of what the property looked like in 2018.
It looked like there was a trash area in the front between the two front doors.
She would put a trash enclosure there.
That's pretty, but efficient.
um that's option number one option number two if the board feels so inclined to put a proviso
about trash being stored inside you know that's the prerogative of the cba all right thank you
questions from the board looking at the layout i always have an issue with having to go through
a bedroom to get to to a backyard um so is that the only way to get to the backyard and that first
and the ground floor unit is through the bedroom.
Camille, I think we're taking a pre-existing floor plan here,
board member Johns.
And we don't have much luxury in terms of making changes
given the size and the width and the dynamics of this building structure.
so is that the only way to get to the backyard um good afternoon board member johns that as of
the previous um floor plan layout yes but it can be um a door added to the side i'm not sure if the
plan showed where it was an existing window if that is something that we could be approved
approved in the review of my um final plan so there's a there's a there's a breezeway
that where you can i mean if if you're able to do that that is a much better
livable unit to access the rear yard through uh you know that side because having to go through
a bedroom you're having a barbecue trash is out there the dog is out there everybody's coming
through your bedroom. That's just a horrible condition in terms of livability, but I understand
it's laid out. So, but that's my comment. All right. Any other questions? Questions for our
attorney? Not at this time, Mr. Chair. Questions or comments from the virtual audience or the
present audience here? I see no hands at this time, Chair. Planning Commission.
good afternoon chair the comprehensive plan recommends no change to the existing rsa5
residential single-family attached zoning at this location there is no remaining unique
circumstances or physical condition of this property that would prevent it from being used
in conformance with the zoning code therefore the planning commission recommends the board
deny the proposed variance for two-family residential use hillary if we were to do this
can we provide so that side door
where was the
side door because I thought there was two front doors
