a little losing a little bit with the bass tubule area on the first floor if i'm again i'm not the
architect i'm just yeah i leave it i definitely i think i think we we've kicked it around and i
think we're ready to move on and we'll figure out what we're going to do okay okay i appreciate it
thank you questions or comments from our attorney not at this time mr chair questions or comments
from the audience the virtual lands good afternoon mr chair this is jason hand i will be stepping in
momentarily i do not see any hands at this time planning commission amy boy with the planning
commission the comprehensive plan recommends no change in zoning to the existing rsa 5 residential
single family the appellant has not demonstrated that their unique physical conditions or
circumstances of the property that would prevent it from being used in conformance of the zoning
code the planning commission recommends that the board deny the requested variances for front yard
setback and multi-family household living or if we had a proviso for a setback on the third floor
what's the proviso well we have to have a conversation about that because there were
revised plans submitted here um but then the setback would make further changes to the plans
and depending on whether the applicant agreed with that or not or was going to appeal appeal
it that would that kind of complicates things i mean i understand where the applicant is i think
that's where it needs to please mr chair we'll work with with miss emerson on providing revised
plans based on what i understand the the ruling will be um and then we can you know obviously
submit those and you can stamp off on those right so one of what we what what we do before the board
votes on it why don't you submit revised plans reflecting the board's request and then they can
look at those and and vote at that point i think that'll be just a little bit cleaner okay all right
so we're we're not going to just hold it for one week should be enough right unless the architect
so but my understanding is that the board wants us to set back the third story uh eight feet
Yeah, it's fine.
You need a reference.
There's two on the block.
I already did it.
Look, I know where you are, but I think it's fair.
You need inspiration.
I think it's fair.
We can discuss.
Sir, thank you for staying here so long.
I saw you sitting there all day long.
I kept saying, did his case get cold once he's coming on?
So thank you very much.
And thank you, Alan.
Thank you, everybody.
Thank you.
All right.
Okay, we're going to take a two.
Is there any other cases in the two o'clock list that haven't been called?
I do not see any hands.
Hey, Alan, one point.
Is this a law student you've had with you the last couple of weeks?
You didn't introduce him to anybody?
I mean, you come in week after week with him.
You don't ever say this is who he is?
i noticed i noticed mike we discussed you over coffee this morning okay
oh great there you go congratulations i've seen you come in week after week and i said
once once i was going to introduce us all right thank you and where's all the students from in
the back there oh my god there's all these students in here thank you all
right we're gonna take a two-minute break two minute then we'll be back
My thing was, you get the setback, you need to have the setback, and no setback, no setback.
These two houses right here are setback.
And this is going to be right here, so I'm just saying it don't have to be a discipline.
just i'm saying it don't really just take over the one that was probably you i think that was
I would have won that one.
probably when it was r1 right now okay all right all right but i mean that one is like oh my goodness
just totally out of scale yeah no setback no you know
