I guess does the interpreter want to interpret the question first?
So, the criteria is that they're a member of this Jeep club or the softball team.
It's mostly adults over the age of 40, men and women.
In terms of dues, I would ask the interpreter to ask my client to see collect dues from the members of the clubs.
Así que la criteria para los miembros del club de Jeep y el equipo de softball, la mayoría son adultos sobre la edad de 40 años, hombres y mujeres.
Acerca de cuotas, se lo voy a preguntar a usted, señor Mota, ¿hay alguna cuota para los miembros?
no no no dudes so can you ask my client if he maintains the property with all his own
money así que señor usted mantiene la propiedad con su propio dinero entonces
So we do raffles.
There you go.
No, I mean, I'm just, I'm just trying to figure out. Yeah. I mean,
there must be some kind of upkeep. Bills. Yeah. Bills, you know,
that come up as part of this. So I'm just trying to figure out, okay.
So is this just a group that kind of chips in a little bit whenever the bills
come due or how they manage to, you know, keep things going?
exactly and it's a pretty lean operation so you know so then the thing with the jeeps i mean
does anybody keep them there already he keeps a jeep there but when like the jeep club is this
is i'm not in this sort of i'm not in the jeep sort of social circles but my understanding from
talking to him is that you know they'll meet up you know the group will meet up there and then
they'll sort of do a drive about in their jeeps but they don't no one's keeping their jeeps
there overnight except he has one car that he keeps there along with the motorcycle
así que este lo que estaban preguntando es que para el club de los jeeps que si este otras
personas mantenían los jeeps en la propiedad este su representante contestó que usted solamente que
tiene su jeep y su motora en la propiedad pero todos los demás personas solamente se encuentran
ahí y después hacen sus giras en este al salir
y así que el espacio no se renta a otras organizaciones
questions for questions from our attorney yes i just i just have one question you indicated that
uh your client parks his jeep there so i assume that the existing non-accessory parking use is
to remain with the uh yes please request okay then we need to make that a proviso
remain with the uh yes please request okay then we need to make that a proviso then
all right proviso that would be um one second existing non-accessory parking use to remain
existing uh non-accessory parking use to remain if you are going to grant the variance request
either temporary permanent whatever it is that needs to be another
question from the virtual audience did you get that to him

no asesorio.

i'm here on behalf of ahm properties llc but my client is on the call leftler dima
This is a request for a two-family dwelling on a block that has other multifamily units on the block, including the right next door at 3943 was three units.
And the back story on this is, and the reason we had such a late community meeting is, we had an initial community meeting where we suggested exactly what was next door, three units.
The community group did not like that.
Now, grant you $39.43 is a corner property.
The board granted three dwelling units there.
We asked for the same thing.
Didn't go over very well, so we came back with a revised set of plans asking for two units rather than three.
The refusal, this is an RSA 5 zoning district.
Household living, you can see the application requested three dwelling units.
And as I say, we have downsized that to two dwelling units.
RCO letter of support, just coming two days ago.
Photographs, 3900 block of Mount Vernon. We're right here, one vacant lot in off the corner.
That vacant lot is now, the structure is up and I have photographs of the existing building triplex that's there now.
Again, here's the corner property, which I'll show you. Ours is one in.
so this is the corner property 3943 and we are 3941 and then there's one or two lots in between us
and the next two-story homes
these are the revised plans uh that were submitted and then approved by the rco the other day uh
Three stories, bays at the second and third floor with a rooftop deck, all brick, and some hardy board siding on the second and third floor.
What we've done to accommodate some living space in the basement, and we've done this on other projects, actually on one on this particular block.
We have spiral steps in the egress well, which permit one to walk up and out if there is an issue of any type in the basement.
floor plans
I can walk through them
enter the front door
I walk down into the basement
in the basement there are two bedrooms
front and rear
there's an egress well
a large one in the front
as well as sliding doors that come out
the spiral stairs and up into the rear yard
there's also two baths in the basement
come back upstairs
have the living area, dining area
and then a bedroom in the rear, access to the rear yard.
And as I say, there's a spiral stairs.
If you come in the front door, you want to get to the second unit,
go up the same set of stairs, bedroom in the front, bathroom, kitchen area,
living in the back, and there's a small Juliet balcony in the back
for recycling and trash.
And then up to the third floor, repeat was basically in the lower level in the basement.
Two bedrooms, then access to a rooftop deck on the top of the building.
Basically similar to the house next door.
Side view, closer front view, elevations.
These were the plans we presented to the community May 28th, which were not well received because, again,
it was a i'll show you the presentation was for three three family and client
rethought his plans and we came back again for a recent meeting
the remaining documents from one that you typically see in a presentation like this
the PIP form, the proof that there's no taxes owed with regard to the property, 3941 Mount Vernon,
the zoning map indicating, again, one lot off the corner in an RSA 5 zoning district,
the deed indicating ownership of the property.
This is our notice letter that we sent out for both meetings, one earlier,
and then another on July
20th. Here's a second
Here's a second letter we sent out Monday, July 20th at 5.30 with the ZBA hearing today at 2 p.m.
letter we sent out Monday, July 20th
at 530.
Proof of mailing, 143 pieces went out.
Mount Vernon Street, Mellon Street, Haverford Avenue, Union Street.
And then these are the zoning records of the other properties on the block, including the one on the corner.
As I say, three units.
39.23 is two units.
39.32 to 36, it's 14 units.
39.04 to 10, two units.
And then on the corner of 39th Street,
there's two properties that have two units each.
And I have the backup for all this summation
to show the board.
39.43, approved 10.24, excuse me.
Maximum three units.
issue 2026
two family dwelling
39-32 to 36
this is from November of 2021
multi-family
14 dwelling units
39-04 to 0-10
this is where there's two
two family dwellings, two units, and then 620 around the corner, at the corner actually
of 39th street, two rental units.
So that is a presentation.
We have a vacant lot that the community was interested in multifamily, but not what they
considered a bit of an overreach at three.
we've scaled that back to two and it was well received at community meeting on monday night
i do have my client participating if he could unmute himself and maybe adopt
my testimony and then i can feel the questions i'll go back to the floor plans
leffler can you unmute yourself
then we're coming back in as a panel shortly at council thank you
Thank you, Mr. Han.
Lefter, are you there?
Yeah, I'm here.
Hi, my name is Lefter.
Hold on.
Could you please state your name and spell for the stenographer?
My first name is Lefter, L-E-F-T-E-R, and last name is Vima, D-H-I-M-A.
Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth?
Yes, I do.
Counsel?
Mr. Dima, you were on the call when I presented your project for 3941 Mount Vernon.
And were you also at the community meeting Monday night, which took place via Zoom?
And are all the characterizations that I just made concerning the project true and accurate?
And would you adopt them as your own?
Thank you, Mr. Dima.
questions from the board yeah question what's the depth of this uh unit compared to the new
unit on the corner do they have the same size rear yard uh i'm going to go back to the site plan
it doesn't she's not showing that i don't want to i don't know or or is it i can't tell i don't
want to represent that that dash line is actually the end of the building because i don't know that
for a fact, although let me blow it up.
Leifler, do you know the answer to that question?
Our 70 is 56.6.
The building in the corner is more longer.
They have probably like, we have around 10 foot 0.6 backyard.
The building in the corner, probably they have around four foot back
or maybe between uh four or three foot backyard building in the corner we have a larger backyard
just need a slightly larger so that does the uh building on the corner also have roof decks and
other locations around have roof decks yes and also the building at 3923 has a roof deck also
leffler yeah and what's the depth of the the basement slab below grade
uh i think so i were like uh five foot below the sidewalk can you pull it this that elevation up
so you're
so you're you're 5 foot 2 below grade 2 foot 10 it would be good if you can raise that up some more
