And if you guys can please bear with me, I do appreciate it.
We understand that.
so as you guys see um i did file a zoning permit for a commercial vacant uh first floor with a
single family upstairs um the refusal was for multiple principal use prohibited in this
residential district also commercial use prohibited in the district so before i do
show all my exhibits i would just like to show you guys um so fifth street as you guys know
It's nothing but commercial, all up and down from 5th and Sheltonham all the way down to 5th Street and South, even going.
As you guys see, my property is right here with this blue square right here.
On my side, on the corner, you guys see it's commercial, commercial in front, commercial up the block.
I can keep going.
I'm going to go to the other side now, just a little brief.
so yes as you guys see it's all commercial all up and down the street from even on my side from
where i live um also this is the property right here uh there's a phone store right next to me
there's also a doctor on the corner on the same side as my house um there's a barbershop i can
go across the street these are also all the other stores um i can go up the blog there's more stores
I can go up the blog. There's more stores. And as you guys see, there's storefronts with upstairs.
and as you guys see um
And most of them, if you guys do look them up, they're all mixed use residential commercial storefront with either single family or multi units upstairs.
um and as i keep going i would just like to show my exhibits the application of appeal
um the project information form i'm sorry if i am going too fast if you guys want me to slow
you're fine you're fine you're fine you're doing all right um so as you guys see my mom is under
under the property with me her name is irasem agriava i got the notarized letter that i can do
what I want with the property with her consent.
This is the certificate of tax clearance.
This is the deed of the property when I bought it back in 07-26-2018.
The deed.
The zoning permit.
The poster.
so that was the deed the the poster let me put this back up as you guys see this is the property
right next to the i philly service this is the street this is the backyard so as seen on what
i was saying um so i would like to get it commercial vacant first floor because i would
like to rent it out to somebody who would like to use it as a store only with the consent of not
not having no bar no food there anything that will harm any residents around me any neighbors
um there won't be a lot of trash because as you guys see um in the past tense i will show i will
show this is the front again um this is the inside of the property the front to the back
and this is the back to the front. This is the notice of zoning applicants to the RCO and
neighbors. This is the other one. I also have proof that I sent that out to 116 addresses
all around my area. This is the support from my RCO. She was very supportive on what I wanted to
do since I bought the property when I was young at 19 years old. I had this property, I bought it
right before COVID. And as you guys know, COVID shut everything down for everybody for at least
two years. So there was no opportunity for me to even get into trying to do something with the
property. So as you guys see, I've owned the property for over five years now and has not
been able to make no type of income. I've been paying bills and taxes on this property for as
long as I've owned it. This is her letter of support. As I stated to her that I would not
use the business for no alcohol beverages, no food, no grocery store, no bar, hookah lounge,
