Yes, sir.

Similar wording

Thank you.

Similar wording

Tom had a question.

Similar wording

I was wondering if the city reviewed the curb cut.

Similar wording

I think the way it works is they won't approve until it's approved by us.

Similar wording

Yeah.

Similar wording

We never got that far.

Similar wording

Yeah.

Similar wording

Yeah.

Similar wording

You're not going to get it.

Similar wording

Okay.

Similar wording

Thank you.

Similar wording

Anyone else to testify in this case?

Similar wording

Anyone else to testify?

Similar wording

Planning Commission?

Similar wording

Good morning.

Similar wording

David Fecto, City Planning Commission.

Similar wording

Mr. Chairman, members of the board,

Similar wording

The Comprehensive Plan recommends this property for single-family use.

Similar wording

There is no unique physical characteristic of this lot that would require the addition of parking spaces to enable viable use of the property.

Similar wording

We recommend that the Board deny the requested variance.

Similar wording

sharon's notes that there was a mistake in submitting revised plans they're not required

Similar wording

okay so you may proceed yeah right should i go ahead and talk now sorry yes okay i just want to

Similar wording

just want to ask to be able to continue to do my uh group i've been doing family care i had been

Similar wording

doing family care since 2015 in the home and in 2018 i was approved with the variants for three

Similar wording

years in my home uh due to covid19 and everything some of my stuff got pushed behind and with my

Similar wording

some going off to college, some things got pushed behind.

Similar wording

And we just wouldn't have been able to manage

Similar wording

a policing

Similar wording

and also trying to take care of our household.

Similar wording

So I was just asking

Similar wording

to either get an extension or have that

Similar wording

variance taken off. The three-year

Similar wording

extension I could take

Similar wording

and I would greatly appreciate

Similar wording

or to have the variance taken off

Similar wording

so that I could just continue to do the group in my home.

Similar wording

The group is just so that I could have

Similar wording

the seven children instead of the six

Similar wording

children in my home.

Similar wording

Ms. Adolph, pardon the interruption.

Similar wording

I didn't hear you quite clear

Similar wording

You said something about taking the

Similar wording

Variance off

Similar wording

I had a variant before

Similar wording

For three years in the home

Similar wording

And my variants was up

Similar wording

So I had to reapply and ask

Similar wording

For an extension

Similar wording

To continue to do group in my home

Similar wording

Because you have to have a special exception to do group

Similar wording

Not family

Similar wording

And I had been doing family since 2015

Similar wording

And then I

Similar wording

Switched over to group

Similar wording

because i had a family that had a child and i wanted to be able to accept that one child

Similar wording

which i wouldn't have been able to do if i had um if i was family so i was just asking if i could

Similar wording

continue to do my group in my home with the suspension of the three years or a very without

Similar wording

the variance of three years well the rco did send a letter of support as you probably are aware

Similar wording

with a proviso

Similar wording

that a three-year

Similar wording

variance.

Similar wording

Okay.

Similar wording

Okay.

Similar wording
