Yes, my client is here on behalf of Green Eagle Properties.
Yes, my client is here on behalf of Green Eagle Properties, Mr. Semi Uxel. He should be raising his hand, but he's in the gallery, I believe.
Okay, our Vice Chair, Tanetta Graham, has a few questions for you, sir.
Good afternoon. Have you emailed your documents and is it fixed five days in advance of this hearing?
Yes, I submitted to the portal.
Okay, thank you.
And do you waive the reading of the refusals and stipulate to their accuracy?
Yes, I do.
All right, thank you.
You can share your screen and proceed with your case.
All right, thank you.
Let's go to...
All right.
sorry one second
it's been quite a journey on this matter
but hopefully we can come to a final resolution
today I'm here in regards to 900
East Shelton Avenue. As you can see in the picture right there, Shelton Avenue, or the
property I'm referencing, my client owns is the little lot. So it's the lot with the wooden gate
around it. A brief explanation of why we're here. We are here.
If I remember correctly, Counselor, you were here before, right?
A few times, yes.
Right. So we're looking for a revised plan.
Hillary, am I right? We're looking for revised plans.
The last time we was here.
The proof of posting and needed updated proof of tax. Is that right?
Correct. Last time, here's the, I didn't get a chance.
I don't think I did a full presentation.
I'll do a brief presentation to explain to refresh everyone's recollection.
So basically what we're asking for is a change.
Right now, the property is listed as RSA 3, and you'll see that everything around it is either RM1 or CMX.
We're asking for permission for multifamily.
The proposal is a three-unit apartment building, and it will bring it consistent to the current structure.
I'm going to jump through some of that.
As you see, there are CMX 1 or 2, or some of them are actually RM1, which is what we're asking for.
uh the owner as i mentioned green eagle properties we'll skip through this here as you see the old
how it used to look in the previous picture post development i'll show you the revised plans
uh well actually i'm sorry here's the example what i was referencing to the board as you can
see my product client's property right here is the yellow one with the like a square with the
extra in debt right here this is his property right here the problem is as you can see this
is cmx this is cmx this is i'm sorry this is a rm1 this is rm1 rm1 rm1 and then these pieces here
are cmx so everything around it is basically has the ability to be commercial and or a multi-unit
except this property here and that and the other one you saw that was next to the to the lot
uh this is a property right here that's to the right this is the property that's here to the
right that property to my understanding is a commercial on the lower floor and on the top
has at least two units possibly three as you can see this is that same unit and you see the
extension of how far that property goes on the other side uh so update on the plans here are
the proposed plans. This picture right here that's looking at you is actually the side
that will be facing onto Boyer Street. They didn't mean to do that. Sorry, let me go back.
So if you see right here on Boyer Street, okay, as you go over here on Boyer Street,
This is the front of the building.
The one that's pointing to this way is the front of the building, and that will be facing Boyer Street.
So that's what you're looking at right here.
Looking at directly in front of you will be facing the Boyer Street.
What we're asking for, just to give you an idea of what the development looks like,
back here is going to be a fire escape.
So it's not fire escape a fire exit. So there will be a door to the back for that exit
Here's where we'll have private trash private trash pickup private trash pickup will be right here located
And then here we anticipate and that's where I think there's needed additional eight foot that we're asking for to extend over
um in that regard from here for the development because it is a little bit of an hour location
In that regard from here for the development because it is a little bit of an hour
as far as the units here's what the units anticipate looking like um as you can see
originally and this is another thing when we first went to the community we were looking to do a six
unit we're talking initially doing a six unit we could we talked to the to the community we had a
negotiation and then decided to come down to the three units as opposed to six um secondly
in addition to coming down to three as opposed to six, we had some discussions about what they
didn't want. So a couple of things were developed or built into this platform program after our
communication. So for example, in the basement, there will be no basement dwelling, no dwelling
in the basement. In addition, we had concepts for a potential rooftop, no rooftop as well.
Instead, what you see here are the three proposed units. As you can see, each of them, if I zoom in
a little bit. The smallest one is 2,100 square feet. You have a 2,200 square foot and then a
2,300 square foot. As you can see, the specs on the bathrooms, all these properties will be
three bedrooms. And you can see the specs accordingly there. In the back, the last thing
I'll show you in the specs is here will be the stairway, which will lead to, as I mentioned
before the emergency exit.
I think I went the wrong way.
I didn't get it.
My computer's been making funnier than that.
What else?
Generally speaking, before I take any questions,
The developer, Mr. Semi, he can, if he can be brought in so he can affirm the testimony.
But generally speaking, what we're looking for, we did meet with the community.
We have had several meetings with the community, at least three.
We did eventually get a letter of support from Faith, I forget the name of the entity, but it was one of the RCOs.
There were several RCOs we had to deal with.
and we finally
organized the last RCO and we did
get a letter of support that was dated
from earlier this year.
Can Mr.
Semi-Yuksel be coming on so we
can... Sure.
Yes, I'm here.
Hi, sir. Could you
please state your name and spell for the stenographer?
Sure. It's Semi-Yuksel.
It's S-E-M-I-H
and the last name
is y-u-k-s-e-l
you swear or affirm to tell
the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth
yes I do please proceed
counsel thank you Mr. Uxel
can you state your what is your position with
this company
I'm the managing member of the
Green Eagles properties
okay and did you hear the testimony
that I said earlier
yes I was I was there and I did hear
okay do you agree and affirm
with that testimony
yes yes i do exactly that's correct i do agree okay and and do you and do you have uh do you
accept that testimony as your own yes i do all right i have nothing further uh board council
you you started with six units and you're down to three yes yes we started with a rooftop deck
and there's no more rooftop deck no rooftop deck no basement living no basement questions from the
board. What's the width and the
length of the building? And is there a rear yard?
Give me one second. There is not a rear yard. Give me one second
to look at the width and length.
It's like the 18
like it's 24 by 90 I believe or
It should be
The front
Right here is the dimensions
Oh, I didn't mess that up
No, if you go to the other page
It should be on the other page
On the floor plans
Yeah, on the floor plan they have it
And you've got, what, an 8 foot rear yard?
Yeah, on the floor plan
I think it's 24 by 91, if I'm not mistaken, but...
Let's see.
Are you able to go to the floor plans?
Yeah, it looks like 90, 92, is that not 90?
91, oh, it's right there, actually.
92, I'm sorry, yeah, 92.
92, I'm sorry, yeah, 92.
24 by 92, so I was off by...
24 by 92, so I was off by
one inch, yeah.
91, it's 92.
These are
very huge
gracious units.
They're larger than,
the floor is larger than
a typical row house.
So, they're
very, very, very,
very gracious units.
Yeah, we could actually
go smaller, to be honest.
Like, as far as my understanding.
I'm not saying that I'm asking you to.
I'm just, I just, when I sold 2,200, 2,100 per square foot, you know, for a floor for, you know, a three bedroom apartment is very nice.
I mean.
I think we're definitely above or before the market, but I also see that the area is changing.
I think you'll notice that even with the future 20, the recent plan from the city,
they anticipate changing a lot of that area into commercial and or RM1.
So I think it is just, you know, we're a little above it.
But as you saw, that corner is a perfect segue almost, or egressway,
where it's kind of like, it's kind of by itself.
So it has the ability to do a lot of that.
Yeah, well, it's good to see larger bedroom sizes too.
yeah and also i i'm sorry to cut you off but like since we we had a revised plan from six unit to
three units so we didn't really change the the general and so we just changed the unit types
and whatever the the community requested so we kind of focus on those changes but so that's why
the floor plan is probably will go a little smaller too you're absolutely right on that
but i'm just trying to get make sure if we can get this the zoning change so we can revise the
plan because this plan is kind of low
now that things have changed so we may just
do a little
along the way.
Just to make it much better.
You have to come back.
without a rear yard
you do have two
means of ingress and
egress here, right?
I'm sorry, you said something about the rear yard.
You don't have a rear yard,
right?
So my question is, do you have two
means of ingress and egress for these
units? Well, the first way
at least coming in, if you can see, is the
front. Actually, I should have stayed back there. I'm sorry.
So right here is this front. Well, my computer eventually changes.
You see right here is the front. That will be the egress into the
property. As far as the back, there will be an emergency
exit that will be available when you come down those stairs that you saw on the floor
plane level.
There is the rear open yard to some area here on the back.
I won't say back.
That's actually to the end left.
If you look at the top of my screen where it says rear open yard, there is some area
