A
A

D
A
E
A
Least,
until
the
31st
of
December
right,
yes,
okay,
thank
you.
We
don't
have
any
old
business
I
call
your
attention
to
new
business
and
before
new
business.
Any
person
that
wishes
to
receive
a
copy
of
today
are
tonight's
proceeding.
We
ask
that
you
please
sign
up
on
the
sign-up
sheet,
just
beyond
the
double
doors
or
you
may
contact
the
planning
department
and
they
will
get
the
information
to
you.
I
call
your
attention
to
application,
18
nine,
three:
zero:
zero
one!
A
That's
a
request
for
a
variance
or
rear
and
side
setback
for
an
accessory
structure,
and
that
spurred
zoning
code
table
4.2.1
residential
design
extended
for
property
located
at
219,
Collington,
Avenue
Southwest
and
it's
zone
RS
8
to
the
city.
Has
that
been
any
as
far
as
questions
concerning
this
application.
E
You
received
one
in
your
packet.
I
will
note
that
the
exhibit
we
only
have
an
exhibit
labeled
exhibit
K,
so
we
will
call
it
I
believe
there
are
four
pages,
a
page,
sorry
yeah,
a
a
four
in
this
case.
The
fourth
page
of
your
exhibit
is
a
business
from
a
neighbor.
Regarding
this,
we've
also
received
a
walk-in
today
from
a
neighbor
didn't
ask
me
identified
but
noted
that
they
were
like
we've
agreeable
to
the
letter
that
was
submitted
by
miss
Cunningham.
Thank
you.
E
E
The
petitioners
demolished
an
approximate
12
foot
by
twenty
four
foot
shed
on
the
property.
The
code
states
that
if
any
residential
or
non-residential
structure
is
damaged
by
reason,
a
fire
flood
explosion,
earthquake
riot
war
act
of
God.
It
may
be
repaired
to
reconstruct
it
and
used
as
before.
If
the
damage
does
not
see
exceed
50%
of
replacement
value.
The
petitioner
noted
that
the
shed
in
question
had
extensive
damages.
E
However,
it
was
not
reviewed
by
the
building
official
and
so
the
50%
valuation
determination
was
not
able
to
be
made
as
to
being
able
to
reconstruct
it
at
the
current
location.
So
the
code
would
have
it
comply
with
existing
set
facts.
If
you
notice
on
Exhibit
B,
sorry
exhibit
a
I
would
say,
I'll
bring
it
up
on
your
screen
here.
If
you
have
a
plat
of
the
property
dated
in
111
94
that
shows
the
approximate
location
in
the
it'll
be
the
upper
right
of
this
four.
That
is
the
southwest
corner
of
the
property.
E
You
can
see
it
is
off.
The
property
line
is
off
the
property
line
less
than
the
10
foot
required
setback
for
the
rear
inside
property
lines
for
an
accessory
structure,
and
so
the
applicant
is
requesting
a
variance
to
reduce
the
setbacks
to
the
same
as
the
previous
structure,
which
I
believe
we
have
roughly
at
three
feet,
but
the
applicant
can
verify
also
in
your
packet.
What
I
would
say
is
item.
A3
is
a
photo
of
the
property
and
the
shed
pre
demolition
and
I
had
submitted
to
you
additional
photo
of
the
property
currently
which
I've.
E
E
Correct
we
were
notified
by
the
building
officials
and
it
would
be
more
of
a
zoning
issue
than
it
been
a
building
issue
for
this
particular
case
and
that
occurred
on
10
417,
at
which
case
the
applicant
came
in
and
filed
for
the
variance
application
to
locate
the
the
shed
at
his
current,
the
location
of
the
current
pad
that
it
exists
of
the
previous
shed.
Thank
you.
C
I'm
sure
there'll
be
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
prior
building,
but
it's
if
you
give
me
a
little
clarification
and
education.
It's
my
understanding
and
I
think
you've
you've
written
this
into
your
summary
that,
because
this
building
wasn't
destroyed
by
the
fire,
flood
exposure,
earthquake,
Wyatt
or
or
act
of
God-
and
it
wasn't
within
the
last
12
months-
it's
actually
irrelevant
for
the
present
case
other
than
the
fact
that
the
applicant
is
seeking
to
put
the
building
in
the
same
place.
Does.
C
E
E
B
E
Correct
that
was
that
was
the
previous
building
was
demolished.
Yes,
as
part
of
this,
and
I
do
not
have
a
date.
This
was.
This
was
taken
from
a
Google
Streetview
map
that
we
were
able
to
find,
and
normally
those
are
dated.
But
this
one
is
not
so
I
don't
have
a
I,
don't
have
an
approximate
date
of
this.
Usually
those
are
less
than
ten
years
old.
E
The
way
we
would
yeah
we
would
typically
interpret
is
that
is
that
it
couldn't
increase
the
degree
of
nonconformity,
so
it
would
need
to
be
roughly
the
same,
the
same
size
and
dimensions
as
the
the
previous
structure,
its
it
would
be
again.
They
said
repair,
reconstruction
and
typically
on
reconstruction.
It
would
be
yeah
roughly
the
same
size
as
the
foundation
that
was
in
place
previously.
E
Correct
so
yeah,
the
design
review
board
would
have
authority
over
yeah
over
the
the
aesthetic
of
this,
because
it
can
be
seen
at
least
partially
from
right
of
way
with
a
historic
district.
The
design
review
board
has
already
heard
this
item
and
had
given
a
contingent
approval
upon
whatever
the
decision
of
this
board
is
so,
whether
it
be
located
in
its
existing
location
or
able
to
be
located
within
the
set
required
setbacks.
It
has
been
aesthetically
approved
by
the
design
review
board.
Currently.
G
G
Feet
in
order
to
go
on
the
on
the
west
side
on
three
foot:
six
inches
off
the
line
in
the
back,
it's
roughly
four
feet
off
the
line.
If
I
were
to
move
it
to
come
within
the
ten
foot,
either
way
setback
number
one
it
would.
It
would
shrink
the
building
to
a
really
an
unusable
size
and
the
topography
of
our
life.
Once
you
got
to
that
edge
to
make
that
10-foot,
there's
a
there's,
a
severe
drop
off.
What.
G
G
G
Is
a
big
is
a
big
issue
you
know
I
can
I
could,
with
the
expense
of
tearing
up
slab
and
moving
the
slab
and
everything
I
could
move
it
to
the
east.
But
in
order
to
meet
the
setback
requirements
on
the
backside,
then
I've
got
to
shrink
the
building
in
order
to
keep
the
distance
between
the
house
and
the
building
the
same
or
else
I'll
just
have
to
bring
the
whole
building
right
up
to
the
house.
G
G
F
F
G
I
J
I
have
a
question:
Brendon
I
was
able
to
at
least
kind
of
look
over
the
fence,
so
I
I
didn't
know
the
the
drop
in
topography.
But
upon
going
around
to
your
left
side
of
the
house,
it
looks
like
there's
that
transition
down
and
then
there's
trying
to
follow
up
on
Nancy's
line
of
thinking
here
the
is
there
not
a
building
area
down
there
and
once
it
starts
to
level
off
after
your
incline
or
decline.
I
should
say
it.
G
J
G
G
G
Right
now
the
the
slab
as
it
sits
it's
built
up,
and
then
it
ranges
in
elevation
from
just
four
inches
above
grade
to
two
foot
in
the
back.
That's
the
drop
just
from
front
in
the
back.
Okay.
If
you
came
over
and
if
I
came
over
into
the
yard
into
the
lower
yard
and
tried
to
build
it
there
now
we're
gonna.
G
Now
we're
gonna
be
talking
about
something
a
lot
more
sizeable
you're,
gonna,
you're
gonna
go
from
just
above
grade
to
you
know,
four
or
five
six
foot
drop,
cuz
I've
got
I've
got
to
keep
the
the
floor.
Levels
got
to
be,
at
least
above
you
know
the
highest
point.
Without
you
know
some
sort
of
a
water
system.
B
B
So
anyway,
and
I'm
not
about
anything,
you
say
but
I
didn't
have
a
tape.
I
didn't
pull
a
tape,
I
just
piece
or
all
the
distances
and
first
of
the
the
pad
the
pad
that
you're
building
is
on
appears
to
have
been
poured
over
an
older
foundation.
Looking
at
the
brick
and
block
that
I
could
see
on
the
side
yeah
you.
G
Do
that
poor?
No,
no
I,
didn't
know
we
didn't.
We
didn't
build
this.
The
original
building
this
building
was
built
sometime
in
the
60s
years.
We
could
tell
when
they
formed
it
up.
They
used
broken
brick,
all
kind
of
stuff,
it's
filler
material.
That's
why
you
see
some
of
that.
You
can
even
see
it
in
the
front
wall
in
front
of
the
house
mm-hmm,
because
we
need
to
redo
it,
but
it's
all
filled
with
like
broken
brick
and
whatever
they
could
find
to
fill
the
area
with.
B
B
That
would
be
the
point
yeah
that
you
would
do
your
measuring
from
just
three
foot,
six
and
again
I'm,
not
doubt
what
you
say,
but
I
pasted
off
approximately
three
paces,
ten
feet
more
or
less
added
a
little
bit
to
it,
and
it
was
I
used
the
reference
a
tree
on
your
back
lot
lines
on
the
back
fence
and
it
looked
like
that
that
it
looked
like.
Maybe
you
could
you
could
possibly
possibly
get
it,
but
I
agree
with
you.
B
B
G
Older
building
the
older
building
to
the
apex
of
the
roof
is
126
inches.
Okay,
what
I
had
inside
was
barely
an
eight-foot
ceiling,
but
I
had
five
12
pitch.
What
I've
done
here
is
I've
taken
a
foot
out
of
the
pitch
added
it
to
the
walls
and
reduce
the
pitch
to
3
and
12
126
inches
one
hundred
twenty
six
inches
I'm
trained
ape
x-ray,
pegs
exact
same
height,
no.
G
G
C
G
B
G
G
So
it'll
be
a
walking
door,
be
a
single
four-foot,
wide
door
single
door.
The
original
building
had
windows
on
it.
We're
not
adding
windows
will
not
have
glass
in
the
door
because,
as
I
stated
to
the
design
review
board,
since
that
road
has
been
turned
into
a
dead-end
street
when
they
redid
the
Lauren
Street
bridge,
we
have
had
an
up
recently
even
had
some.
You
know
things
getting
missing
off
the
porch
things
getting
missing
out
of
your
vehicles,
things
like
that
for
so
from
a
security
standpoint
and
for
our
use
of
the
building.
G
D
G
The
comment
you
made
about
you
know
an
act
of
God.
What
precipitated
us
going
ahead
and
tearing
this
down
to
the
to
the
slab?
Was
water
damage
and
active
termites.
When
I
found
the
active
termites,
there
was
no
question,
I
wasn't
asking
any
permission.
It
was
gone
because
I
can't
have
them
spread
into
the
house.
I
had
to
get
rid
of
it.
So
you
know
that
to
me
is
an
act
of
God.
You
know.
So
that's
just.
G
G
Did
ideas
because
I
told
the
building
down
I
told
the
building
down
to
the
slab
and
I
I?
Guess
in
retrospect,
if
I
had
to
do
it
again,
I'd
probably
go
in
and
just
replace
one
wall
at
a
time,
and
you
know-
and
this
would
have
been
a
you
know,
a
moot
point
because
then
it
would
have
been.
You
know
where
the
renovations,
you
know,
I
I
guess
maybe
I
took
it
as
more
of
a
libertarian
view.
You
know
it
was
already
there.
It
was
built
in
the
60s.
The
house
is
102
years
old.
I
Louder
into
the
microphone,
my
name
is
Judy
Cunningham
and
I
live
at
Rose,
Bank
condominiums
on
the
other
side
of
the
fence,
from
the
Woodward's
property
and
then
upstairs,
there's
a
different
owner,
and
she
also
I
think
she
spoke
to
mr.
bland
this
afternoon.
She
couldn't
be
here
at
the
meeting,
but
she
you
know
it
impacts
her
view
out
of
her
home
more
than
it
does
mine
actually
because
she's
on
the
top
on
the
second
story.
So
she
looks
out
directly
at
the
building.
I
I
I
I
I
If
there
were
room
on
their
side
of
the
fence
for
them
to
plant
any
shrubbery,
but
you
know
it's
it's
so
close
I,
don't
think
they
could
plan
any
shrubbery
over
there,
because
the
roof
I
assume
like
on
that
original
one.
It
seems
like
the
roof,
went
a
little
beyond
the
wall
or
I'm,
not
sure.
But
you
know
there
was
only
three
feet
there.
It.
A
D
C
Just
make
a
comment
relevant
to
mrs.
Cunningham's
testimony
in
position.
The
purpose
for
the
setbacks
is
to
provide
separation
between
buildings
between
properties.
There
should
be
20
feet
between
those
buildings,
10
feet,
Freed's
setback.
The
purpose
for
this
is
number
one
ascetic
number,
two
less
of
a
feeling
of
crowds
being
crowded
and
third
and
important
is
flavor
protection
so
that
a
building
started
in
the
garage
where
you
may
have
gasoline
and
paints,
and
things
can
easily
spread
to
an
adjoining
property.
So
just
a
comment,
thank
you.
Mrs.
communion.
Thank.
A
G
G
G
G
You
know.
As
far
as
the
know,
there
won't
be
any
gasoline
or
flammable
liquids
stored
in
this
building
and
in
the
certificate
of
appropriateness.
We
actually,
they
allowed
me
to
put
use
a
fiber
cement,
siding,
which
is
you
know,
tremendously
fire
resistant.
So
you
know
when
you
get
those
those
buildings.
Close
I
understand
your
point.
You
know
your
get
them.
That
close,
you
need
to
take
extra
precaution
for
the
fire
or
anything
the
possibility
of
fire
and
that's
been
taken
care
of.
G
You
know
with
the
type
of
materials
that
were
using
if
it
would,
if
it
would
help
to
go
to
the
question
about
you,
know,
shrubbery
or
anything
like
that,
I'm
a
meaningful
to
anything
I'll
going
on
the
side
and
put
an
arbor
up,
because
from
my
standpoint,
I
would
just
soon
not
have
any
access
around
there,
except
for
what
I
need.
You
know
for
maintenance
of
the
building
and
if
it
would
help
you
know,
we
can
come
up
with
plantings
or
vines
or
whatever
she
would
like.
I
mean
whatever
to
make
it
pretty.
G
B
Mr.
chairman
question,
regarding
the
in
since
we
have
met
in
March,
but
since
March
I'm
looking
for
maybe
it's
sometimes
there's
a
staff
recommendation
back
over
this
week
that
we
can
look
at
and
then
formulate
formulate
a
a
motion
from
that
last
bit
of
wording
that
the
staff
usually
puts
down
and
I
don't
see.
One
is
that
something
that
we
write.
E
D
E
A
E
B
Okay,
mr.
chairman
I'll
attempt
all
right
the
bank
of
motion
and
feel
free
to
amend
that,
but
the
sake
of
discussion,
I'm
gonna,
move
that
the
variance
be
granted
provided
that
there
is
planning's
on
the
side
and
back
of
the
building
and
the
building
remains
at
the
same
mic,
the
same
height
as
the
existing
building.
Now,
how
that's
done
is
it
gets
it's
no
higher
than
what
it
is
now
Kate
to
the
apex
of
the
roof
and
that
there
planning's
and
then
the
proper
reporting
of
this
variance
be
duly
noted
in
court
records.

You
like
me
to
try
to
repeat
the
way.
I
have
the
motion,
the
language
right.
So
my
understanding
is
that
the
motion
and
the
second
is
to
approve
application.

Just
just
to
finish,
the
comment
on
that
I
guess
where
I
struggle
is
on
condition
three
trying
to
find
a
compelling
reason
that
he's
got
to
have
a
structure
in
some
way,
not
replacing.
This
would
be
not
allowed
to
replace
a
structure
where
it
is
he
chooses
economically
or
for
whatever
other
reasons
to
not
move
it
somewhere
else,
make
it
small
or
whatever
he
needs
to
do
to
conform
to
the
variance.
You
know.
What's
the
compelling
arts
yet
for
him
not
to
have
the
Builder,
that's
where
I'm
striving.
C
Yes,
I'm
afraid
I
can't
agree
and
support
the
emotion,
very
simply,
as
we
started
out
the
fact
that
there
was
a
previous
building
there,
a
fire
building
is
irrelevant
to
this
particular
decision
as
the
city
has
prepared.
This
is
strictly
a
decision
based
on
the
criteria
and
the
question
is,
as
a
brand
new
building
doesn't
meet
the
criteria.
First,
criterias
are
something
extraordinary
and
exceptional
pertaining
to
the
particular
piece
of
property.
C
C
You
know
that
you
could
just
roll
a
garage
in
almost
anywhere
the
fact
that
you
might
have
to
if
you
moved
it,
build
it
up
a
block
or
two
to
pour
a
new
slab,
his
kind
of
usual
stuff,
it's
a
matter
of
putting
in
a
footer
a
couple
blocks
and
or
in
a
new
slab.
I
agree.
It
has
to
it's
very
tempting
to
say:
let's
put
it
on
the
same
place
both
for
economics
and
just
convenience
and
hey.
C
You
know
it's
no
more
of
them
nonconformity
than
it
was
for
the
last
50
years
until
it
fell
down
so
other
conditions.
Do
these
apply
to
other
properties
in
the
vicinity,
same
conditions?
There's
nothing
unusual
about
this
property
due
to
the
conditions.
The
ordinance
applying
the
ordinance
to
this
particular
piece
of
property
would
effectively
prohibit
or
unreasonably
restrict
utilization
of
the
property
where
the
site
did.
You
have
to
move
it.
A
couple
feet.
I
realize
this
convenience.
C
The
conditions
are
not
the
result
of
the
applicants.
Own
action
forget
about
the
prior
building.
It
was
there.
It's
gone
the
conditions
as
far
as
of
making
an
application
to
build
it
within
the
store
inside
the
setbacks.
Is
the
applicants
decision
so
like
I,
say
this
application
simply
doesn't
meet
the
criteria.
J
E
F
We've
approved
these
types
of
things
before
not
that
we
go
by
what
we've
done
before,
but
there's
never
been
a
next
door
on
the
ones
that
we've
approved.
There's
never
been
a
next
door.
Neighbor
objecting
an
item
number
six.
The
authorization
of
the
variance
will
not
be
a
substantial
detriment
to
the
adjacent
priorities
and
the
adjacent
property
owner
feels
like
it
would
be
a
detriment.
So
I
might
have
a
hard
time
doing
it
because
a
item
six.
F
F
Think
that's
a
very
tough
situation,
but
a
variance
should
be
considered,
but
I
have
a
hard
time
when
it's
the
property
owner
very
next
door
that
it's
affecting
the
way
that
their
outdoor
living
would
be
and
I
believe
I
could
be
wrong
because
I've
not
gone
in
the
backyard
there,
but
I
believe
there
is
a
way
they
could
work
this
out
and
the
existing
property
if
they
called
him.
Maybe
an
architectural
type
person
well.
D
Also,
though
I
like
sad,
looked
in
the
wind,
you
know
in
the
fence,
so
I
didn't
you
know
I
couldn't
see,
but
there
was
that
big
drop-off.
The
yard
is
not
being
in
the
back
anyway.
When
you
move
over
ten
yard
ten
feet,
then
you're
going
to
you
know,
take
care
of
that
property.
It's
not
going
to
like
say
it's
going
to
be
kind
of
almost
right
in
the
middle
of
the
property.
So
it's
because
it's
not
a
big
backyard
with
the
big
slope
and
everything
and.
F
H
A
That
is
all
of
the
agenda
items
before
adjournment.
I
want
to
reinforce
the
announcement
that
we
have
all
received
the
indication
that
mr.
pet
Nene
is
going
to
be
leaving
the
board
at
the
end
of
December
and
I
wish
to
take
a
few
moments
for
the
board
to
him
and
I've
already
expressed
to
him
my
sentiment.
It's
been.
It's
been
a
real
ride
for
11
years
that,
yes,.
A
F
C
Been
together
for
11
years,
in
my
part,
all
right
we're
getting
divorced
there.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you
for
once,
I
want
to
dress
you,
as
mr.
chairman,
my
friend,
Larry
I've
enjoyed
working
with
every
one
of
you,
particularly
new
and
I,
do
concern
one
of
my
good
friends.
I
wish
I
could
do
this
forever,
but
I've
had
my
fun
and
it's
been
a
thorough
enjoyment
and
great,
a
very
great
grete,
gratified
that
the
city's
allowed
me
this
opportunity
and
I've
gotten
a
lot
of
enjoyment
out
of
it.
Well,.
