A
B
A
A
A
C
Two
Communications
this
evening.
One
of
them
is
that
the
next
meeting
of
the
zoning
Board
of
adjustment
will
be
canceled.
We
do
not
have
any
applications
at
this
time,
any
complete
applications
at
this
time.
So
the
next
meeting
was
April,
say
20th
I
believe
yeah
is
the
next
is
the
is
the
next
official
meeting
we're
gonna
be
meeting
in
the
board?
Also,
we
did
receive
an
appeal
of
223
40th,
Street
East.
C
The
gentleman
is
not
appealing.
Every
decision
of
the
board
obviously
did
not
appeal
the
approval
of
the
impervious
surface,
but
is
not
appealing
the
retaining
wall.
Only
the
fence
height.
He
has
proposed
some
modifications,
where
he's
going
to
create
a
tiered
system
back
off
the
property
line
and
then
is
but
but
still
would
be
required
to
have
a
shorter
fence
and
would
like
to
do
a
privacy
fence,
but
it'll
be
farther
into
the
yard.
Off
there.
C
A
C
I
will
okay
and
just
as
a
note,
it
will
be
going
to
the
April
18th
Biz
committee
rather
than
the
March
28th.
It's
it's
being
pushed
off
a
cycle
just
due
to
some
scheduling
issues
and
whatnot.
We
were
right.
It
was
recommended
by
the
clerk's
office
that
if
we
can
push
an
item
off
to
the
to
the
April
one
rather
than
this
that
to
do
so,
so
we've
done
that.
Okay.
D
I'm
curious:
are
we
allowed
to
speak
at
that
meeting,
or
are
we
allowed
to
talk
to
the
city
council?
Folks
about
that
issue?
C
Chair
board
member
grants
course
I
guess
I
would
say
I
mean
as
a
private
citizen.
You
are
as
a
board
member.
Your
sort
of
role
in
this
is
done
as
a
delineating
body.
You
know,
as
a
private
citizen,
I
suppose
you
could.
You
know
normally
the
people
speaking
to
a
specific
issue
are
people
who
live
in.
You
know
in
the
surrounding
area
who
are
notified
Etc,
although
we
do
for
larger
sorts
of
issues.
Do
you
see
people?
C
You
know
contact
that
I
guess
I
would
say
you
know
in
terms
of
speaking,
you
know
at
the
public
hearing
you
know
you're
able
to
there's
nothing
that
would
prevent
you
from
doing
that.
I'd
say
reaching
out
to
an
elected
official.
C
They
are
Tech,
because
this
is
a
quasi-judicial
decision
making
they
really
can't
have
any
sort
of,
like
you
know,
discussion
related
to
that.
That's
not
part
of
the
public
hearing,
since
they
will
have
to
decide
one
way
or
the
other
on
that
approval
or
denial.
You
know
I
shouldn't
I,
don't
know
which
way
the
the
committee
will
go,
but.
D
I'm
sorry,
I'm,
not
I'm
kind
of
done
sometimes
and
I
can't
always
understand
things.
I
want
to
make
real
clear.
I
can
speak
at
the
public
meeting,
but
I
am
instructed
that
it
is
inappropriate
for
me
to
talk
to
the
political
officials.
A
Thank
you
and
Ms
Graham
Grant's
course.
Typically,
if
there's
any
communication
on
behalf
of
the
board
at
a
meeting
like
that,
the
chair
would
make
that
communication.
A
All
right,
any
other
questions,
Mr
Ellis
I
see
none.
Thank
you
all
right.
Let's
review
the
agenda.
I'll
read
the
agenda
number
and
address
of
the
project
and
state
whether
it's
slated
for
consent,
continuance,
withdrawal
return
or
discussion
I'll
just
quickly
cover
what
consent
items
are.
These
are
items
that
will
be
passed
without
discussion
by
the
board.
We
will
be
adhering
to
staff
recommendation
found
on
your
agenda
under
the
item's
recommended
motion
section
and
any
applicable
conditions
will
be
listed
in
the
same
section.
A
If
you
agree
with
this
recommendation,
including
any
applicable
conditions,
you
need
to
do
nothing
and
the
board
will
pass
it
as
recommended
after
the
item
is
passed
on,
consent
you're,
free
to
leave
the
chambers.
Please
check
in
with
the
staff
member
sign
to
that
item.
If
you
have
any
questions
following
the
decision,
if
you
disagree
with
the
recommendation,
please
indicate
you'd
like
to
speak
against
that
item.
When
I
ask
and
we'll
put
on
the
discussion
agenda,
so
we
have
one
land
use
request
before
us
tonight.
It's
agenda
item
number
five.
A
It's
1300,
godward,
Street,
Northeast
staff
is
recommending
this
item
for
consent.
There's
anyone
who'd
like
to
speak
against
this
item,
order
any
board
member
like
to
pull
it
I
see
no
one.
That
concludes
our
land
use,
requests
items
so
now
we'll
go
on
to
reviewing
items
on
the
agenda
for
consent.
There
item
number
five:
is
there
a
motion
to
adopt
this
item
on
consent.
A
A
A
We
have
some
old
business
and
that's
our
annual
report
has
everybody
had
a
chance
to
look
at
it.
Are
there
any
questions
of
Mr,
Ellis
I
think
we
had
one
written
piece
of
feedback
from
Mr
softly.
C
Yes,
chair
Perry
by
Sheriff
softly,
did
have
a
couple
of
comments
just
in
terms
of
the
phrasing
around
it
and
also
having
us
double
check
the
dates,
and
there
were
some
inconsistencies
in
in
the
dates.
So
actually
it
turns
out
that
I
believe
it
was
I
can't,
remember
I,
believe
it
was
board
member
softly
who
had
Sean
K,
Hill's
Original
start
date
accidentally
in
there,
for
some
reason,
I
think
is
what
had
happened.
C
It
was
just
like
transposed
over,
so
you
know
it's
been
a
while
there
so,
but
that
that
we
think
we've
corrected
all
the
issues
on
that
and
that
amended
report
will
be
available.
So.
A
F
Thank
you
for
your
for
the
staff
for
putting
together
this
report.
It
was
really
interesting
as
a
new
board
member,
to
see
all
the
work
that
the
board
has
done
over
the
last
year.
F
One
of
the
questions
I
had
was
about
I
know
that
the
land
use
rezoning
study
is
underway
and
wanting
to
know
what
percentage
of
cases
that
the
board
heard
last
year
would
have
been
approved
by
right
under
the
zoning
amendments
being
proposed.
As
part
of
this
reuse,
study
and
I
know
that,
like
that
might
be
a
question
like
you
might
not
have
that
right
now,
but
I
would
love
to
be
able
to
know
that
information
or
I
included
in
the
report
in
some
way.
C
Okay,
okay,
chair
Perry
board
member
Callahan
that
we
can
get
into
that
I
know
most
of
them
we're
not
proposing
most
of
the
land
use.
Rezoning
study
isn't
affecting
a
lot
of
what
would
be
impacted
by
the
just
by
what
the
board
of
adjustment
sees.
C
There
could
be
some
issues
related
to
tweaking
set
back
distances
Etc,
so
there
could
be
situations
in
that
I
think
there
may
be
some
changes
to
Interior
side
yard
setbacks
proposed,
but
for
the
most
part,
setbacks
for
regular
residential
properties
that
will
be
in
the
urban
neighborhood
as
it's
called
Now
versus
just
residential
will
be
remain
largely
the
same.
So
it
might
not
be
too
many
to
be
honest,
but
we
can
certainly
check.
F
F
F
C
Certainly
and
I
would
like
to
say
that,
with
the
adoption
of
the
built
form
overlay
districts
so
again,
most
of
the
built
form
for
the
lower
density.
Residentials
remain
pretty
much
the
same,
but
there
were
changes
to
implement
the
built
form
for
larger
sites.
C
The
there
has
been
some
reporting,
I,
don't
know
the
exact
numbers,
but
the
City
Planning
Commission
saw
quite
a
few
num
like
a
large
reduction
in
variances.
Just
because
staff
is
unable
to.
C
You
know,
recommend
approval
on
some
of
these
variances
anymore,
and
you
know
one
of
the
points
of
that
was
to
create
a
more
I,
don't
want
to
say,
streamline
but
more
cohesive
understanding
of
the
built
environment
and
what
could
or
could
not
be
built-
and
you
know
a
set
reset
expectations
to
developers
that
you're
not
going
to
be
receiving
variances
and
whatnot.
C
You
still
may
have
site
plan
reviews
Etc,
but-
and
you
know,
variances
are
still
granted
I
think
it
I
think
it
only
went
down
by
25
or
so
from
the
prior
year,
but
that
was
still
a
substantial
drop
for
the
Planning
Commission.
Our
numbers
dropped
slightly.
The
board's
numbers
I
mean
you
can
see
in
the
report.
I
went
from
I
think
we
had
96
last
year
and
111
the
year
prior,
but
that
can
be,
as
just
explained,
by
Randomness,
rather
than
any
sort
of
actual
change.
C
That
would
allow
people
to
do
things
as
of
right.
I
know,
though,
however,
there
are
people
waiting
for
some
tweaks
to
the
to
that.
That
would
reduce
it.
One
proposal
that
we
have
in
the
land
history
zoning
study
would
eliminate
the
the
front
yard
variants
where
you
know
we're
trying
to
do
it
so
currently,
a
corner,
a
side
yard
can
go
up
or
back
a
non-conforming
one
if
at
least
three
feet
off
the
property
line.
C
We're
proposing
a
similar
thing
that
you
can
just
go
straight
up
off
the
front
since
that's
generally
granted
every
time
I
think
there's
only
been
one
semi-contentious,
one
where
somebody
was
out
farther
than
the
remainder
of
the
houses
on
the
Block
and
was
doing
off
the
enclosed
porch
in
the
front
to
go
straight
up
versus
the
house
and
I
know.
Staff
had
recommended
Denial
on
that
one.
A
few
years
back
and
the
board
of
adjustment
did
Grant.
That
variance
so.
A
C
We'll
be
able
to
yeah,
we
can
do
an
analysis
of
the
priorities
work.
The
unfortunate
thing
is,
we
won't
be
able
to
do
an
analysis
of
things
that
didn't
happen
as
a
result,
you
know,
even
though
we're
aware
that
the
like
the
example
I
just
gave
we'll
see
fewer
variances
related
to
that.
C
G
G
I
don't
know
how
we
would
do
it
if
we
would
comb
or
quantify
these
things
as
it
comes
up,
but
it
would
be
interesting
to
use
that
information
to
uncover
some
of
the
gaps,
whether
it's
you
know,
public
education
or
going
back
to
what
you
said
about
it's
just,
you
know
simply
kind
of
a
time.
Waster
yeah.
C
C
So
if
something
came
out
of
enforcement,
they're
more
likely
to
proceed
regardless
of
Staff
recommendation,
just
because
I
mean
it's
worth
the
shot
to
just
pay
the
money
and
hope
you
know
make
a
try
to
make
a
good
argument
and
hopefully
get
your
approval
versus
you
know.
Just
if
you
asked
on
the
front
end
the
answers
no
and
we
would
strongly
discourage
them
from
doing
it,
and
you
know
from
from
you
know
from
even
recommending
or
we
would
disc,
we
do
discourage
applicants
on
something.
C
We
know
we
can't
recommend
approval
on
everyone's
always
able
to
apply
for
a
variance
but
we'll
discourage
an
applicant.
When
we
say
you
know,
staff
is
not
going
to
be
able
to
recommend
approval
of
this
Etc,
and
sometimes
we
can
point
to
certain
types
of
variances
that
have
never
been
granted.
To
my
knowledge,
certain
things
like
egress
window
wells
and
there's
fence
variances
have
been
approved,
but
they
are
much
much
harder
to
get
than
most
types
of
variances.
It's
hard
to
hard
to
prove
a
practical
difficulty.
So.
G
It
is
yeah
I
I,
like
the
additional
recommendation
about
some
of
the
new
built
firmware
really
but
yeah
I'm.
A
A
No,
that's
a
good
suggestion
and
so
I
think.
Maybe
what
we
can
do
is
if
staff
can
be
on
the
lookout
over
the
course
of
the
next
year,
for
when
those
things
come
up
where
we're
saying
this
is
really
not
the
purview
of
this
board.
I
think
that
is
important
and
and
being
able
to
point
to
that.
As
Ms
Wang
is
saying
to
people
who
are
seeking
variances,
they
can
look
in
the
report
and
see
this
is
not
the
best
place.
The
best
route
to
go
Miss
grants
course
yeah.
D
I'm
just
curious
about
the
history:
if
you
don't
mind
indulging
me,
only
three
people
went
on
to
appeal.
The
process
is
that
sort
of
typical
I.
B
D
C
Chair
Perry
board
member
Grand,
scorcher
I,
don't
know
the
exact
appeal
rate.
It
is
fairly
low,
okay,
but
I
I,
guess
that
I
have
to
go
back
through
and
look
at
prior
annual
reports,
but
I
would
say.
On
average
we
probably
I,
think
it's
low
to
be
honest.
I
think
we
usually
would
see
six
to
ten
a
year
with
slightly
more
applications.
Then
again
we
have
96
111
versus
100.
C
120
the
year
prior.
That
you
know
can
create
some
different
things
and-
and
it
also
it
depends
on
on
the
type
of
applications.
We're
seeing.
You
know
we're
trying
to
streamline
it
to
the
point
where
you
know.
Obviously
we
don't
want
to
see,
we
don't
want
to
see
variance.
C
Is
it
possible,
but
obviously
there
are
you
know
you
do
have
to
see
them
sometimes
because
there
needs
to
be
an
outlet
for
the
code
were
allowed,
but
you
know
we're
also
trying
to
tweak
it
to
make
sure
that
we're
balancing
the
needs
of
the
public
and
the
needs
of
maybe
an
individual
property
owner
or
other
development
rights
within
a
property
but
yeah
appeals
of
denials
I.
C
There
were
a
few
last
year,
I
would
just
say:
I
was
surprised
that
they
did
not
appeal
that
we
believed
that
they
were
going
to
appeal
and
they
just
decided
not
to
one
of
the
ones.
This
year.
That
was
appealed
and
withdrawn,
for
example,
was
the
the
fence
height
variance
of
the
of
the
union,
building
police
and
fire
Union
building
there
was
appealed,
but
then
they
went
through
their
application
prior
to
going
to
business
committee.
D
C
Yeah,
chair
Perry,
a
board
member
Henderson
I
can
check
with
the
clerk's
office
I
believe
either
the
clerk's
office,
or
it
can
tell
us
page
views
for
an
individual
thing.
I
would
imagine
it's
not
too
large,
but
agreed.
C
We,
but
they
they
can
do
individual
page
views
and
get
an
idea.
E
Yeah
no
I'm
a
little
bit
interested
on
page
two
I
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
good
I
I
really
don't
have
anything
to
complain
about
for
this
year,
but
in
the
future,
I
would
love
to
see
where
they
have.
The
number
of
acted
items
by
Ward
also
have
the
percentage
there
to
see
how
many
were
approved
by
Ward
as
well.
Okay,.
B
A
Is
there
something
that
we
can
change
for
this
time
around,
prove
it
and
improve
it?
I.
C
B
A
F
I
wanted
to
build
off
of
board
member
Ingram's
comment
around
the
ward
breakdown,
which
I
agree
is
very
interesting
and
I
would
love
to
also
see
The
Proven
denial
rates.
In
addition
to
that,
I
would
be
curious
to
see
what
the
variance
types
that
came
in
for
for
before
this
board,
in
terms
of
where
the
majority
of
them,
in
specific
Wards,
by
setback
or
by
parking
like
just
curious,
to
see.
If
there's
a
trend
that
we're
seeing
in
specific
neighborhoods
yeah.
C
C
That
we
have
is
like
it
basically
is
a
manual
thing
for
us.
We
don't
there's
no
data
pulling
and
we
just
go
into
the
actual
things
and
then
a
staff
member,
in
this
case,
oh
and
that's
one
thing
and
I
forgot
last
time
and
I
do
not
want
to
forget
this
time.
They're
not
here,
but
I
would
very
much
like
to
thank
Sarah,
Roman,
Christopher,
Coda
and
Alyssa
Brandt
on
our
staff
for
putting
it
together.
Chris
did
half
the
analysis.
C
There
did
half
the
analysis
on
some
of
the
rioting
and
Alyssa
created
all
the
maps.
C
Sorry
I
got
sidetracked
on
that,
but
the
what
was
the
question
again?
I
apologize,
oh.
F
About
whether
or
not
we
could
add
like
in
for
the
word
map,
if
there's
a
way
to
also
break
it
down
by
what
type
of
variants
came
before
this
board,.
F
Yeah
I
think
just
obviously
I,
don't
know,
I
mean
personally
I
don't
feel
like
we
need
a
full
breakdown
of
these
are
all
the
different
types
of
variances
that
came
in
each
Ward,
because
some
of
these
have
like
two
but
I.
Think
if
there's
like
a
majority
of
cases
in
specific
boards
tended
to
be
X
or
Y
type
like
that,
I
think
would
be
interesting
for
us
to
know.
C
I
would
like
to
postpone
that
to
like
maybe
the
next
report:
okay,
just
because
the
staff
time
it'll
take,
it
would
be
nice
to
have
that.
You
know
on
that
understanding
on
the
front
end
versus
on
this.
Anyone.
A
Else
so
you've
got
some
good
feedback
to
work
with
and
Mr
Ingram
has
one
change
that
I
think
you
can
do
this
year.
So
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
annual
report
with
the
amendment
of
Mr
Ingram's
changes
so
moved
it's
moved
and
seconded.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
on
it?
E
A
Against
indicate
by
saying,
nay
and
any
abstentions,
that
must
that
motion
passes.
So
the
annual
report
is
approved,
we
simply
have
to
say
that
our
next
meeting
is
April
20th
2023,
and
that
is,
as
Mr
Ellis
said,
due
to
the
fact
that
there
were
not
enough
there
weren't
any
items
for
March
30th
meeting
and
that
notification
has
gone
out
as
I
understand.
C
It
okay,
yes,
the
clerk's
office
has
that
through
that
notification
sent
out
the
email
blast-
and
you
know,
notice
of
cancellation,
great.
A
All
right
anyone
want
to
move
to
adjourn.
