While it was voted in favor mr. Serra you, you voted to abstain and, according to the rules of the BOA, we're not allowed to do that not allowed to abstain. Yes, sir I did not understand that. Well, so Kay.

A

When I've been in other words but I, think I think the most should carry it anyway, where you, without my vote and.

D

B

Been attacked well, the.

E

Order of get points.

B

F

B

Legal was present at the meeting and they did not make a point that you had to well.

D

I wasn't aware that was my first meeting. I was actually thinking about Upstate.

A

And what we could do is we could revisit.

D

A

And so and if so I can go ahead and please I.

D

Don't know that we need to revisit the legal I, have the code right here with enemy, and it clearly says that no more members shall abstain from voting unless there is a conflict of interest, I'm, not sure they know, there's no complications.

B

All right: well, they they were.

A

Advised I don't want to bring that up at this point. Well,.

D

Other than that matter, that's the only thing I would raise as far as the minutes you're mr. Church, okay,.

A

Right do I need a milah motion second, and a second to approve the minutes of the October 10th meeting, with the exception of and a note note brought up by board member to me by the board member louis Lowell, so I will revisit that revisit that that makes me yes.

B

A

Right all right, having said that, we'll move on to the first one first joins letter, a request, a minute by the NFA that it to authorize an exception to the literal interpretation of the rate of land development code, section 24, 77, entitled dimensional standards by granting a variance to the setback departments on lot for block 11 88 Eastern Division, located 28:15 South floodings history. Is there anybody to.

C

Speak bumping up of that this, but is this here number person there all.

A

Right I need the motion open the public area, so we have a motion second of motion, a second open public hearing, all those in favor any.

C

Opposed all right, sir, but this is the country was born and it's ten as we stop and at.

A

Least, a few names for the race was.

G

C

And stop work order was issued, the inspectors visited mrs. at the location, and that was the.

H

Problem, miss Pettis and.

C

Then she decided to rework the house without a permit and that foundation stand as it is bubbling at the house 50 feet away from that from the rear setback, which is required. 20 2015.

A

Okay, we understand everybody understand that wait.

I

What what is being built, it's a hub, okay, there's an existing house! What's the structure at the middle of it, just storage for each okay and it so there's a new house on your.

C

Pops up from the thunders that's.

A

Where the authorizations BP government was granted for no original permanent over okay, there.

B

Was a worst of stuff order because there was not permit.

C

All right back, I, just.

G

B

To to advise the applicants that, even if they get the setbacks, if you have to go through a rezoning, because a second dwelling listed to instruction.

H

C

A

Regard less of what is brought to our word on the issue of the setback. The the issue of fifteen are two verses, are thirty would have to be a rezoning or replanting, and that's plenty is over yeah, so we're.

E

Just here to rule on a setback, yeah right I think that I can.

J

Like to table this, because why we want a setback, if they don't get a zoning permit, they don't get their zoning permit to the setback is yes.

B

To use a variance.

J

It's not I, think I should save this and wait.

E

J

He gets hard onion.

E

In zone, something they didn't come back and.

J

Say: hey we risotto correctly well, can we do the can.

E

Ask a question: yes: if.

K

We would so the table that they would have to reapply they just we. They just recall.

G

L

A

In a like, okay, they're matter, we're not denying it the way they would have to reapply.

C

Excuse me, according to the Board of Adjustment, is for the said by the r2, as well as the r1 r3. It said that and there's an approach a she can go as far as attaching that house to the existing making it a duplex which will meet two setbacks here, requirements by the city. It doesn't.

E

Necessarily have.

C

To go that extent, you converted the r2 to r3, but.

A

Did the planning show that.

B

Right now, this is right now, with the current plans or.

C

B

Structures is that you're.

C

Worth it worse, you just for the set that gets all okay.

A

Wait an r2! No, yes, I, understand that, but the plans that we have is presented don't have it as they do not have it as a duplex. So we cannot rule on the fact based on what you're giving us, because that we would be. We would be off in the groan good for allowing it.

D

But your duplex is two separate structures: right, Juniper's.

C

Such is not separate, divided.

E

C

D

Structures: okay, that's what.

A

I mean I, don't know what the actual interpretation are. The duplex I thought it. Duplex was one common wall.

A

Make them, if you connect to me and I, don't know how you would connect Avia's. It looks like there's a storage unit in the.

E

A

So I don't know how you would connect it to become one.

C

By definition, duplex, it doesn't necessarily mean to have to do a wall just attach. Okay,.

A

L

A

Will need to see that you know probably from billing department. We will need to see that interpreting that actual definition to make certain that we're abiding by it and I think everybody agrees on that. Yes,.

I

I I feel more comfortable. If either we see a duplex in front of us on the planet.

E

Or a nice rezone.

I

K

German and I think, like my colleagues suggestion to table, would allow the applicant sufficient time to be able to present.

K

You know what exactly they like to do, whether they want to go through a rezoning or they want to go through a put in a duplex, and they would.

L

Grab whatever comes back to do, plate I'll need a difference that they won't have to go through the cluster. We're.

K

Applying for no.

L

They won't under so that that.

H

K

Opportunity to kind of reassess what they're gonna do and bring it back to us so I'm, all in favor of the table.

J

D

Every one second, that motion said: that's.

J

Actually, if you, if you do design it as a duplex with a common wall, all that you probably would need to come back for more dress a.

C

Setback, the setback you two won't be met, oh don't be. That knows it elsewhere.

J

They have a duplex or to us.

C

Asking us to move, he.

D

Still had the opportunity to come back mr. chair I think there's a motion to table.

B

Needs to be closed first.

K

A

Let's add more testimony from the public: okay wait: he wants to speak on behalf of it or against it.

H

Well, consider for us casa, para de la casa, PC Sierra,.

K

F

Of Rwanda Zoey lo que estamos in the scheme of bed, mat inform us here.

A

Go ahead, I'm on the globe. Second, ever.

K

Motion decided.

A

To close the public hearing, all those in favor actually vote alright. Now, having said that, I have a motion, and the second is that the table, the item until we get more information on this any discussion, all those in favor hi any opposed motion- carries all right, so we're gonna do if you'll get that information, we're not we're. Not. We don't have to reapply again, but if you get the information bring it back to us, it'll be either rezone to or if it's, if it meets the definition of a duplex that we could address it.

A

Then we get address to set back before over all right.

A

All right next one is a request submitted by Hickey pena architects to authorize an exception to the literal literal interpretation, Lorena, land development code, section 24 77 in title of national standards, by granting a variance to the lot wit requirements on the north. Twenty six point: zero six feet of the south one half of what what happened.

B

B

A

That I got it and the East 31 point ninety four feet of the North twenty six point: zero: six of the south one half of seven of and the West 23.62 feet of the South one half of Lukather, seven, a block 50 Western Division, located at 102 one and a half Kevin.

L

A

I have a motion and I need a second second motion. Second Oklahoma Theory, not any discussion, all those in favor any opposed motion carries all right, sir, for.

M

The record Rick Solis, with keeping our cadets we're here, were actually have been working with the owner and Community Development, that's part of their housing and rehab program. We have a lot of these types of projects. In fact, we have another one you're currently working on in the same neighborhood, we submitted our plans, and the issue was that we were reviewing this of a lot of record and in order for it to be classified of the water record, we needed to meet the 30-foot minimum.

M

This lot is really narrow. It's about 26 feet. What we're able to put a house on there on given the state of their current residents and their eligibility to participate in this program.

M

So all we're asking for is a variance from the 30-foot line with minimum to allow us to build it on a.

M

A

Another month, the street, do we have any questions.

M

You're with here so the house, it's their age, the house to make it these are piss. So why don't? You need a variance on the width and that's because for a lot of record under the dimensional standards in the land development code, it says that your minimum lot it needs to be 30, okay, so the.

J

Lot itself the line is 76 and that's why you're turning it? This way, yes to.

M

J

M

And I mean we're really improving the situation there, that houses there doesn't need any sort of setbacks where we're tearing it down. We're gonna give it the 5 feet on either side we're building retaining wall, because that's at the edge of.

M

N

To our homeowners.

N

Mr. mrs. Valdez has become fond of stress, essential for peace, even an established su casa victim. It's that way, Melissa Tita iray pyros on the way now chosen of the mostess programa Mona's, whom grants fear of the I wanna casita, will do something minimum right. We prepared from me it's like a band-aid on a big big, big room right. So then there's a housing, rehab program, housing rehab is we have to bring up the program, the house up to code for thirty, five thousand thirty, five thousand. It's not gonna. Do nothing to me.

G

Another thing have to go to I.

N

E

N

N

A cell phone you see it was done in Google Maps and that's how they're parking right now, not even not interesting is this alligator waters. I see severe paranoia. Do not posses. Is that too much so they are gonna, be we're doing a future chaining project.

N

There's no section for girls and effective okay.

M

Kind of shape- yes,.

N

The question so so we are trying to help.

N

Secure a muchos like you, see those intros of commitment on their site or something you know contamination. So do you know, don't do any demolition, we don't have a building permit right, so we start them videos. It is content and, oh and super of it cannot suppose your content.

Once you get this.

D

A

So these would be the sides.

N

Gonna go in the front, so this house is gonna, be operating and then there's gonna be a routine. You want to.

N

D

So, as far as the setbacks, it does comply with the site, setbacks and the rear setback for.

M

The if we look at it as well, a residential lot of rectory meets all the setbacks front with your proposal. Yes,.

B

Breakfast birth verification of the application says of the request, was for the log with of 26. Is it 26 for 26 minutes.

M

I guess it's just the wrong: isn't it 26? Okay? Would you read memory 26 point zero, six, yeah yeah right.

You'll see on the on your sightline. It is this structure that it's pricey spend the property line that I used to be like. He said a cardboard and clean closed it and now it's prescription, but.

I

I can't reconcile the request with the drawing I see 9.10, as the approachment I mean as the.

B

I

Says 9 foot, 10, I think.

B

O

I might could maybe see only is it limited, so you know you know. These are especially because this is.

O

Ctep, the most rare.

B

I

If you look at this.

O

A

Mean I think I'm agreeing with mr. Kravitz is. It looks like that little structure.

D

Is within you know, the setback yeah I mean the big main house looks like it's got the five foot setback and then the 327 foots us work with structure, looks like I've.

J

I

Happy looks like it's further: it's.

J

Further because it's.

I

Encroaching north-south Oh Oh what you thinking yeah! You can see the building setback, my name here, so it is encroaching but he's asking for a variance of pipe a pipe in. But it's really 10 nine nine foot 10 from yeah.

D

It's a building setback right, okay for the front, okay, yeah for the front, most of the front looks kind of how to work.

K

What's a setback before 2020 is.

A

That the front right through we're looking at then.

D

This drawings, all wrong yeah, is dry, doesn't escape.

E

The car is parked in the front. Yes, okay,.

A

So that's that's the front! So that's right here and.

E

Was the sector request number wet, yeah yeah.

I

From the front, the building setback was 20 feet so.

D

We're talking the front setback line drives, the sizes have knocked every other, all right, something's, not adding this we're in the it's. A 20 foot, prints effect, yeah.

K

From the front.

D

So he looks like he's it: okay,.

A

Let me let me understand something: the building is already.

B

There sorry that's an eye, closed direction, so.

A

White, in other words, why.

E

If it wasn't done before.

A

What prompted him to come? He.

B

Got a vacation on a.

A

B

E

Works when I was in a sharp board, no.

K

B

Already finished, but he got a citation after okay.

K

B

He was taken to court.

D

Put those pictures up on that screen.

D

M

The carpet does comply with the the front sent back.

M

To the carpet, it has to be at least 10 feet: okay,.

A

But what you're saying is as a carport as a country.

F

A

A carport it was conforming.

E

Yeah but the minute he closes it, it's.

M

Not so it's like, if you want to build your home in the front yard and leave no, no, no! So how.

J

Much is how much setback does he need 20.

O

M

He's asking for a 5 but I'm pretty sure it's just a 110.

D

Or no way, building front setback is what we're playing.

J

For fighting for the industry and then if it's 20 feet on the side.

A

Of it and it's conforming now that would have been 10 there's a carport. Yes, sir, with three open on three sides: okay,.

E

So now that he closes.

F

It and he needs those 10 feet. Yeah.

M

This can be an hour, the room, a living room. It can be anything so listen close. We don't know. What's inside uh-huh.

A

All right there, any other questions for mr. Dibble yeah.

J

Cbgb's, how many feet extra? What's the essence, 1515.

F

A

I

G

C

I

A

So really, if someone is playing 20.

O

To 29 28 10 thing is on the center.

A

As parents in I know, IRA's.

L

Any divine you, if you a lesson the operations, not.

E

Because of equity in clothes.

L

Appoint monthly, it's not as good and now the items in this current president or says, but at the request is ask you for more than what right really.

K

K

I

Is Carter? Here's a property line right, yes, he's asking for a five foot setback that would be here, but the building's only its back here. So he doesn't need it that extra and.

A

This after says that the it's it's come, it's conforming as a cardboard as.

M

A carport you might have those ten feet. Yes,.

J

He's had a car park there now yeah.

C

A

Loses the capability of reducing twenty to ten right and now that ten foot would be that's what he's requesting right, but he's written down this fire right.

L

B

In his application.

K

Not so much the drawing, but.

A

The measurements have to be accurate, just make certain that everything is. You know. Kosher is on that in the sense that it's he's asking for five, that he really is not asking for five. The way it appears is that, at the end that he's asking for, but let's make certain by either going and revisiting as.

L

A

And verify this, but.

L

Anyway, I need.

A

A national clinical assessment, 15 it's like means champ what do clothes, mostly the close, the public hearing, but.

E

Most of the second to close, the.

G

Public hearing.

A

All those in favor aye any opposed all right. Having said that, I need a motion. Credible takes a motion to table until we get this clarified on the myths on the paperwork, about a motion and a second to close. The public here huh me death motion to table is the item. Yes, all those in favor, any opposed motion carries see.

F

Only that are asking lo que está pidiendo is that being in the sequel PSMs it up, it is only a syncope SMS and tones of caramel is passable. The lock estamos viendo Camaro and don'ts s 4k, and rally that low low key so is what's up and ex-officio SLO CSPs. The new step is a piano syncope, as mass carry must carry most bed low en no estamos llegando. The approve on doe for a password, the middle información correcto illness control of lo vemos Dana.

E

A

Alright, the last one request submitted by Tarun a bum doc, who authorized an exception of the literal interpretation of Louisville and development, Code, section 24, seventy seven and five dimensional standards by granting a variance of the setback performance of lot. Eight blocks, 98 Western Division, located at 511 fairly ridiculous.

A

Because I am sick, alright, it up I need to blow the bill. Very little, have a motion, and a second second and the second to open the public hearing. All of the verify any opposed motion carries all right, sir.

P

Go ahead, I for the record. My name is Aaron Banda I'm here to I, guess: ask for for two things: mainly I purchased this house and so on. Five, eleven perigee and a lesson for the variance of the setback requirements on the front and on the side, looks like yes on the front and on the north and on the west to to stay the same and and I believe.

P

The the second guess, variance that I'm asking for is, is to allow me to build and additional 700 square feet: writer Mecca via the existing property and what.

K

B

Addition just to put on record that doesn't need of aries because he's complying with the site setbacks. So it's just a front and the website.

B

D

You saying the front is the door site?

D

I

The west side would be weight on this time. Words for the street.

B

It's just the North arrow. Is it correct? Yes,.

P

D

On the plan, worship, the North.

P

Arrow, yes, it's put where the parent is in the buttom, the Northeast. Is this way? Okay, what.

D

I

E

It says existing house, is it already built demolish.

I

B

P

Not just I'm not planning to demolish it, I'm just gonna, remodel it I'm, not planning to break any of the walls. The only thing that I'm planning to do is is take off the roof and put a new roof, and maybe some drywall and the inside stuff like that, but I'm not planning to break the outside walls. So why does.

I

He need a while.

B

Okay, he originally got sent to our department because of an addition. The thing is, this is a legal non-conforming structure and in order to add more than five percent, he needs to come to the board. So when he's adding that portion, he's gonna comply with the site, setbacks and the rear setbacks in the new addition, but it would.

G

D

That he was right.

G

E

D

Complying basically, yes,.

B

Yes, with our current standards, it's not complying locations.

K

B

Gonna add more to a non compliance structure. He needs to comfort.

D

Them since he's adding that's this back part you're saying they had issues in the new carport. Yes,.

B

That new portion will be in compliance, but it's because he's adding to it. It.

K

Triggers the legal non-conforming.

E

K

That's why he's before us? It's not the actual new structure, he's gonna put in the.

B

Background and if you did mention that you wanted to oh my god, the pictures are.

I

It's a little dark. Yes,.

P

The outside from the inside.

D

We need better photographers.

D

The Norge side.

P

That's that's exactly what I want to do the front faces which the rug.

D

Got it's a nice moisture share on historical.

E

P

Suppose it is 1789 that 1719.

D

That has very structure.

P

That person piece you.

D

Know the walls solid brick, the.

A

Walls are all vibrating them as a heritage.

J

D

What are you gonna do with this house? Are you know they might use.

G

A

E

A

D

Walters gonna be a resident.

E

It's for them. Yes,.

L

G

D

You got a non-conforming structure that you just want to add to you. That's correct.

P

In the back yeah.

E

And the only thing.

P

You're actually.

E

Doing to this one other refacing answer the.

P

Music, okay, so still remain illegal. Non-Conforming.

D

A

Something that is illegal, non complaint right now: Beasley the non-conforming he's already on the north side, material and at zero and on the east side, the.

G

West side has zero and it's already there we're not going to tear anything down. No we're.

D

Not gonna add anything.

A

To it obviously- or you could bet on the south side, yes, on the south side, you're gonna, add your not requesting.

P

Any seven bite at all.

G

I

Probably going.

K

To be safer, another wood.

K

D

I had a question on I guess to orbit the chair up: can we condition our approval based on and say so long as you don't head? Well, you could even you for one to I mean so long as you don't exceed the zero setback on the north and the zero setback on the West. We approved not.

B

That I know we've never placed the restrictions.

E

A

Weaken conventional.

D

I asked that question.

A

Once we can't conditionally like if you tear this down, we don't will.

D

Allow it we can't condition a problem. That's.

B

Not that that was the directive from legal a while back.

K

Is your plans, don't change, especially with a newer structure in the back.

J

But I changed all that has.

G

J

Which means you can conditions on the fact.

G

You know the Thunder you're not.

A

Yes or the plans that he submitted for his application when the private yeah that's what he said, yeah right he did, which week we would make our decisions based on these plans. Now, if he went change the plans, then he's got in conformance. You know and.

K

Simply for the back to be president, but the structure he's pleading to the south. He triggered the Houston threat to come back here.

D
