 We're gonna go through them in order of the agenda. I'm not aware of any changes to the agenda I don't think anyone else is either. We've got all the communications in have been posted I don't think there's any new ones that came in today, so everything relevant to these items has been posted online and I guess again if anyone has any changes to the minutes Or which we'll have to work on a procedure for them, but We should figure out how to move minutes around, but Anyway, so I'll just move to our first agenda item for a hearing tonight, which is a certificate of appropriateness for 15 Conger Avenue ZP 2325 demolish existing warehouse and garage construct new single-family residents with ADU The applicant here. Yes And Can I get you to raise your right hand and anybody else who wants to speak on this to raise their right hand? Do you swear that the testimony you are going to give in the matter under consideration is true and correct under the pains and penalties of perjury? I do. All right, so Tell us about your project. We have seen 15 Conger Avenue before So what's what's going on? What's new? What's the plan? Yes, you have seen this project before It was initially Permitted as a single-family residence a few years ago now By my parents my mother is here with me and my father is just behind And they decided to not go through with the project at which point I said let me give it a go So I took over the project and have altered the design to make it Suitable for my needs which meant adding an ADU to it So the the design has shifted a little bit as you can see from the The plans given it's still a kind of a narrower single-family home The carport now has an ADU above it and the kind of the style of the building has changed a little bit But yep overall that's those are the changes adding an apartment above the carport structure to To kind of shift or add additional living space to the lot Okay Now in the staff report Did you have a chance to look at that? Yes, and you went to the DAB? Virtually yes. Yeah, but that's the same There was a calm conversation at the DAB about Side yard setback Compromise oh Front yard, sorry. I was reading the side yard setback and the DAB recommended a seven foot Is that appropriate you okay with that? Yes, so there there's been a bit of a back and forth about the front yard setback The initial plan that was approved was approved at five feet As we have gone through kind of this round of the process We've realized that the the setback according to the regulations should be 10 feet given the average between the two buildings to the the two neighboring buildings and Before fully understanding that section of the code I had hoped there would have been a little bit of room for you know A middle ground between the 5 feet 5 feet and 10 feet because any any more square footage on For the building would greatly help the way the plan functions inside given it's such a small lot but after communication with the the project managers we have determined that the 10-foot 10 foot setback is what is Kind of non-negotiable by the by the zoning Ornances, I should have had it So although I would I would love the seven foot setback the ten foot setback is what we have proposed to To match the the zoning guidelines Scott I have a question. Okay In one of your affirmative findings as conditioned, I think this is your project, right? Yep. Oh Gary and I worked on it You mentioned that it vies to work with Public works I think yeah on the curb cut. Yeah, are you recommending that as a condition of approval or? Yes, okay Have you had any conversations with DPW about bringing the curb cuts into compliance yet? I have not I I assumed that would kind of be the next step in the process Scott if that changes our plans the plans on the project do what do we have to do about that? It depends on the changes. I don't I mean fundamentally what should happen is the very long stretch of the asphalt Along the road should be made into Distinct curb cuts with the green belt restored. I don't think that will actually have much bearing if any within the property boundaries Would we need a new site plan for that at all? administratively Poss I Don't think so right because it's in the right away. Is it conceivable it might affect what's on the property? Maybe but I sort of doubt it, but it's in the right away. Okay, Brad any questions? I remember Talking a lot about this with you years ago Nice to see something actually happen. I bike by down by there and I see it's pretty much the same Money may be a little less. So seems to be the thing. I do have a question You've got some part of this is metal siding and some part of this is wood siding am I understanding that correctly? Yes This goes out wood, but I don't know what kind of is it pine wood? You know kind of would you using it? It's going to be vertical stain ship lap siding Hopefully cedar, but we'll we'll see and even though there's some Metal roofing shown on the materials that is the roofing asphalt or metal The there's a small kind of connector between the house and the the carport Adu structure that would be standing seam and the the rest would be as follow shingles No, I I do a question about trash. How does that work on this building? Yeah, there's there's space kind of within the carport. There's a Let's see Towards the back of the carport on the right of this kind of the storage area there's a little wall that juts out to hide the The trash and recycling just before you got that back door. Yes Sort of need to go from no use to lots of use on the property, so it's I should happen like I said, it's what using the site quite well Okay, anybody else on the board of any questions, I mean it'd be great to see something other than the garage there All right, well hearing no more questions anyone else here to speak on the application No, everybody. All right. Well, we'll close the agenda item and given the length of our Agenda tonight will probably deliberate Shortly after our meeting Thank you all. Thank you So the next agenda item is 78 Crescent Road Zp 2357 Request to remove 20 trees and This was marked on our consent This was recommended for consent approval So first we don't have a consent agenda tonight, but this was recommended for consent approval I'm assuming you're the applicant or the owner. I'm not I'm the real estate agent representing John keeping Okay, so you're here for the applicant then right? Is there anyone else here to speak on behalf of this application and you are No, no, okay, all right, and you'd be doing the tree removal. All right Is anyone else here to speak on this? Would any members of the board object to treating this as a consent approval many questions? All right, I Would recommend that we approve this on the consent. I don't think we need to open a hearing on this Okay We prove the application adopt staff findings recommendations Brad seconds that all in favor. I prepared all these documents You can still tell us how much time do we have I don't know let's see Look, I said nice. We understand it. It's well prepared. No, it's take down trees. So there you go Thanks They're massive trees too close to a lot of houses great great. Thank you 65 trees still on the property Thanks for doing the legwork to mark it well and and thanks for coming in to get tree removal approval before doing it So We have another business we have other business item, which is the request at 98 Sunset Cliff Road to reopen our Here our hearing on zp 23-9 98 Sunset Cliff Road typically when we've handled requests to reopen We don't Have a hearing on it. We just consider whether or not we should reopen it We don't often allow Testimony or argument till we decide what we want to do on it. I Assume you both Jeremy you're here to speak on it. Are you here for the? Applicant or the neighbor or Okay, and Okay, so we've we've received Comments we've rude all the reviewed all the comments on it and I think we'll take it up on our deliberative to determine whether or not that We'll reopen it or not Fred I Just if it's appropriate and I'd ask Scott I think yeah, actually it's yeah, we could do that Just because I don't think we can ask him that during deliberative fair enough Scott Can you just walk us through the request to reopen Sure, but I'll start a little bit earlier than that so notice for the DRB Very which meeting in February it was the 21st. I think I did go out The short story is that the software used to generate the Jason property owners Inexplicably picked a property a few doors to the north So notice went deaf went out, but the immediate neighbors didn't get that notice so First Bonnie Farrow came into the office last week to ask me about the project and said gee I never got notified and I looked at the butters list and She wasn't on it and then I got an email later that day from Carol Clark another neighbor on the other side Basically about the same thing asking about the project and saying never got notice and she wasn't on the butters list either so It's still within the appeal period through the 23rd. I said you have two options You can request the board reopen to allow you to comment on the project Where you could appeal it to in Burma, La Courte? And since then we've got what six or seven requests from other neighbors as well asking the hearing be reopened and Given the mistake and notice. I think it's prudent, but that's your call Question on this Scott is We actually have no authority to approve anything outside the property boundaries of a submitted application. Do we? That's correct. Yep I got what'd you say? Yeah, it does. I mean, I guess I guess we could sort of just act on it in reality I mean, I mean to me. I think You know, I don't think there's a big dispute. I think we have to reopen it and I would move to reopen it Do we have to re-notice it Scott? I doesn't need to be re-noticed is not a public hearing. So Yeah, we need to re-notice it so we'll put it on for April 4th or the 18th, okay Yeah, correct, so I would move it Jeff seconds all those in favor All right Re-opened Scott will let everyone know using that same software. I'm sure You've corrected the problem Can I just ask Scott something really quick about the date? Bonnie Farrow couldn't be here because she's in the meeting She's the she's the one you met with she would prefer the fourth because she has some other commitment in London She really wants to be here for it because she's right next door to the yeah I mean we can still do the fourth because we only need a week for a slight clean review like this So probably the fourth Okay well that takes us to the end of our agenda and Meeting is adjourned Yep, we have to vote on Conger Avenue. Oh, yeah, yeah
