1
00:00:24,370 --> 00:00:31,210
Those on board of appeals will come to order. There's a September 24th, 2026, first order of business,

2
00:00:31,450 --> 00:00:33,990
except into the minutes from August 27th meeting.

3
00:00:36,220 --> 00:00:37,920
Motion made in second, all those in favour.

4
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:43,120
Chair votes aye, the motion passes. So for those of you who haven't been here before, the way

5
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,120
there's on board of appeals works. Petitioner presents the case after the petitioner presents

6
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:53,600
the case. We'll go to public import, ask to hear from those in favour. After those in favour,

7
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,120
we'll have from those in opposition.

8
00:00:55,660 --> 00:00:57,880
After those in opposition, we'll go back to the petition

9
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,260
to answer any questions or concerns that might have.

10
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,760
But please make sure if you want to be heard,

11
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,380
you do so at the appropriate time.

12
00:01:06,820 --> 00:01:10,360
Read off the names and case numbers for tonight's meeting.

13
00:01:10,420 --> 00:01:12,620
Let us know if you had case number 3, 5, 2,

14
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,820
lock in 24 main street for the petition.

15
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:16,700
Is there any opposition?

16
00:01:18,060 --> 00:01:19,920
That will be the second case this evening.

17
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:29,660
Case number three, five three sues a Felipe way, property ID 46-337 for the petitioner is any opposition.

18
00:01:30,900 --> 00:01:41,640
That will be the first case this evening. Case number three, five for a dream to reality LLC 160 Bay Street for the petitioner is any opposition.

19
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:48,880
That will be the third case this evening, the fourth case this evening, case 3, 5, 5,

20
00:01:48,940 --> 00:01:53,840
this is a five-dot mystery for the petitioner, is there any opposition?

21
00:01:55,580 --> 00:02:03,200
Okay, so we'll ready to get right to know it here at case 3, 5, 3, 2, 3, 2, 3, 4,

22
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:10,380
away, property ID, 466-337, a special permit from Section 440 attachment, one of those

23
00:02:10,380 --> 00:02:16,440
own ordinance to allow a two-family use in a suburban residential district, attorney Brianna

24
00:02:18,870 --> 00:02:19,310
Corar.

25
00:02:19,530 --> 00:02:20,370
I'm going to excuse myself.

26
00:02:27,370 --> 00:02:28,950
Mr. Fitzgerald, will you be speaking?

27
00:02:29,890 --> 00:02:31,130
Only if I'm asked questions.

28
00:02:32,130 --> 00:02:35,130
So whether that's morning or going to give the truth, I'll turn it off from what the truth

29
00:02:35,130 --> 00:02:35,790
is to help you, God?

30
00:02:36,430 --> 00:02:36,530
I do.

31
00:02:36,530 --> 00:02:37,710
I'm going to address for the record place.

32
00:02:37,870 --> 00:02:42,350
We're at Fitzgerald S.F.G. Engineering, 28 Main Street and Lakeville, Project Engineer.

33
00:02:43,330 --> 00:02:44,530
You're really tall, but you want to do?

34
00:02:44,610 --> 00:02:48,810
Good evening, Attorney Brianna Kerl, with an office at 123 Broadway in S.H.I.N.

35
00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:51,710
if I could just share my screen with you.

36
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:02,800
Oh, wait, hold on.

37
00:03:03,100 --> 00:03:04,640
It would help if I connect with us too.

38
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,960
I only plugged in, and that's my fault I apologize.

39
00:03:10,830 --> 00:03:11,530
I wish it worked.

40
00:03:14,540 --> 00:03:15,200
Okay, thank you.

41
00:03:16,420 --> 00:03:20,900
We are here tonight representing Mr. Susa, and fortunately he cannot join us here tonight,

42
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:29,540
regarding a two-family use special permit for Felipe way and time and this is a portion of parcel 46-337

43
00:03:30,260 --> 00:03:35,220
So I say a portion of that parcel because if you were to look this up on the GIS

44
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:38,540
Unfortunately, the GIS is not accurate or up to date for this parcel

45
00:03:38,540 --> 00:03:41,280
So you'll see what you have highlighted here

46
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:46,680
Our parcel is actually a portion of it. It's around here and correct me if I say anything incorrect Brad

47
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:53,460
But our parcel is around here, it's about diagonally across the street from this parcel here.

48
00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:58,120
Our client purchased this in 2002, there was a confirmatory ID in 2003.

49
00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:01,620
The law is referenced as parcel 4 on those deeds.

50
00:04:01,660 --> 00:04:04,620
I'm not sure why the GIS is not updated to show our law,

51
00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:08,380
but I just wanted to clarify and make sure that that was clear to everyone.

52
00:04:09,340 --> 00:04:11,960
So we are in the suburban residential zoning district,

53
00:04:12,540 --> 00:04:14,540
where adjacent to the urban residential district,

54
00:04:14,540 --> 00:04:17,180
so you can see where that right across the street

55
00:04:17,180 --> 00:04:18,620
is where the urban district is.

56
00:04:19,100 --> 00:04:21,040
The purpose of this suburban residential district

57
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,340
as this board is well aware is to establish

58
00:04:23,340 --> 00:04:25,480
and preserve areas for residential development

59
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,760
while maintaining the atmosphere of open space.

60
00:04:28,420 --> 00:04:30,420
Based off of the size of the lot that we have for you

61
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:31,320
tonight in the proposal,

62
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,720
we suggest that we are meeting those objectives.

63
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,600
The lot consists of 39,024 square feet of area

64
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,680
and the minimum for this district is 25,000 square feet.

65
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:52,280
the minimum lot size for this is actually exceeding 14 by 14,000, so we have 14,000 additional square feet in area over what's required.

66
00:04:52,980 --> 00:05:00,780
We also exceed the minimum front-age, so front-age for this district is 125 feet, we have 238.71 feet of front-age.

67
00:05:01,540 --> 00:05:04,400
So we're exceeding the minimum front-age by 113 feet here.

68
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,300
So it's a rather large lot certainly in comparison to the minimums required,

69
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,640
And we feel is more and more than adequate to accommodate a two-family use.

70
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,020
When looking at the surrounding neighborhood, there are at least four to five other two-family

71
00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:20,600
homes in the immediate vicinity.

72
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:28,040
If you see here, shown in blue, we have white when you enter on the free Bayway right there

73
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,520
on the left.

74
00:05:28,700 --> 00:05:29,800
There is a two-family home.

75
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:35,260
If you continue down, this is a garage, I believe that belongs to the two-family, and then

76
00:05:35,260 --> 00:05:37,060
you have a childplex, which I'll get to in a moment.

77
00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:43,820
And then the street over, we have three to family homes in an eight-unit condo building.

78
00:05:43,900 --> 00:05:46,900
And then you have some, of course, you know, spread out a little bit further away.

79
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:52,100
Aside from those, there's really all vacant land that is adjacent to this parcel.

80
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:56,380
So you have the remaining land that's vacant here that's owned by another a butter.

81
00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:59,380
Our client does not own this land that's around to our parcel.

82
00:06:00,380 --> 00:06:05,040
And I believe that the a butter that owns this property also owns this single family home here.

83
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:11,100
That land, I know you can't see it on this board, but on here you can see the vacant land

84
00:06:11,100 --> 00:06:15,600
behind our parcel goes to railroad tracks, so the railroad tracks are in the rear and

85
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,940
anything that's developed over there is across on the other side of the railroad tracks.

86
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:27,400
You also have all vacant lands on this side as well that you see here along the triplex,

87
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,300
and then you have the U.S. military reserve center.

88
00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:33,700
So really those are the adjacent abutters across the street.

89
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:35,980
You have a newly developed triplex.

90
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,300
So this is a visual if it helps a little bit.

91
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,000
This is the beginning of Felipe way.

92
00:06:41,540 --> 00:06:44,020
And as you're going down this street, this is the two family

93
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:46,560
that I had mentioned the first house you come across.

94
00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:48,300
I believe it has an Eldred Street address.

95
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,540
And then you can see a little bit here.

96
00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:54,300
This is the garage and the shed that I had referenced a moment ago.

97
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:56,180
And if you continue down the road,

98
00:06:56,500 --> 00:06:59,560
the only other structures developed on this way at this time

99
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,500
is this triplex, three family home.

100
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:06,040
So my understanding, Brad, if you want to correct me

101
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,320
if I'm wrong, I believe this is our parcel of land

102
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,120
that we're talking about here, which is pretty much

103
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:12,540
across the street from the triplex.

104
00:07:12,660 --> 00:07:13,180
That's correct.

105
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,980
And if you go down, sleep a way.

106
00:07:15,140 --> 00:07:17,480
There's a turnaround at the end, but there's no other

107
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,320
developed properties on this street.

108
00:07:20,300 --> 00:07:20,940
Excuse me.

109
00:07:21,220 --> 00:07:21,280
Yeah.

110
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:22,700
Go back to the other picture.

111
00:07:23,060 --> 00:07:23,220
Sure.

112
00:07:23,780 --> 00:07:25,000
That's a three family curve.

113
00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:25,480
Yes.

114
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:26,360
Yeah.

115
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,420
Because when I went down there, I just wanted to verify

116
00:07:29,420 --> 00:07:29,900
Yes.

117
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,160
Yep, it was a newly constructed triplex 3 family.

118
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:40,160
So, in looking at comparing a comparison to the surrounding

119
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,280
parcels, so again, ours is 39,000 square feet or 0.895 acres. The vast majority of the

120
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:53,000
abutting developed properties that are here are much smaller in size. The parcels with two families

121
00:07:53,000 --> 00:08:00,120
or multi-family homes are all around 0.3 acres, so they're roughly around 15,000 square feet. So we exceed

122
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:05,960
most if not all of those multifamily lots that are in the area, by at least 15,000 square feet.

123
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,040
This is also almost double in area compared to the largest duplex homes, which I believe

124
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:18,280
would be this one here, or the two family here on the edge of leap away. So we're almost double

125
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,280
in area for those. So we propose that we have more than enough space here for a two family

126
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:29,100
home, certainly much larger than the lots in the area. So the reasons that we're asking you

127
00:08:29,100 --> 00:08:34,260
grant the special permits tonight. First off, this law conforms to all of the zoning

128
00:08:34,260 --> 00:08:38,220
dimensional requirements. So we are not here for any variances whatsoever. As I mentioned,

129
00:08:38,340 --> 00:08:42,880
we are exceeding all of the minimums here tonight. So they could technically do a single

130
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:47,660
family by right here, but we are here for two family to conform to the surrounding neighborhood

131
00:08:47,660 --> 00:08:53,580
that we have here and what's already on the street. They would be two townhouse style condominium,

132
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:58,820
so two units, one duplex, and it would be similar in style to what was already built across

133
00:08:58,820 --> 00:09:03,760
street for the triplex. We suggest that this is in harmony with the general purpose of the

134
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:09,460
ordinance and also the purpose of the district. Certainly because we have a lot of space

135
00:09:09,460 --> 00:09:13,960
still left over in this lot, we're not over saturating the lot, and there's some wetlands to

136
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,480
as well that, of course, have protections that will have to file with the conservation.

137
00:09:19,260 --> 00:09:24,740
But we also are just, we are doing a residential use with presenting some space there.

138
00:09:24,740 --> 00:09:28,340
The proposal would also provide a more affordable option.

139
00:09:28,820 --> 00:09:30,500
Then most single family homes on the market.

140
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,580
I know not everyone agrees or likes to hear that,

141
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,660
but they are certainly more affordable than a lot of the single family homes.

142
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:36,900
And there's a need for them.

143
00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:41,540
I did speak with the real estate agent that sold the triplex lots across the street.

144
00:09:42,180 --> 00:09:45,740
I believe they sold within 10 days as what he had told me.

145
00:09:45,980 --> 00:09:49,720
So there is certainly a need for these types of townhouse units.

146
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,140
And then lastly, we would be utilizing city water and sewer.

147
00:09:53,140 --> 00:09:56,560
So our clients had actually done a roadway improvement plan

148
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,680
and was able to improve the road and also bring utilities,

149
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,300
which they're working on finishing.

150
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,440
This would certainly help finance that.

151
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,480
But there would be cities who are in water

152
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,360
for the two families as well, bringing in more income to the city.

153
00:10:09,780 --> 00:10:13,400
So for those reasons, we ask that you approve the special permit.

154
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,260
We're here for any questions that you have,

155
00:10:15,420 --> 00:10:16,600
and we thank you for your time.

156
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,820
Thank you for your thorough presentation.

157
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:20,940
Questions, comments from the board?

158
00:10:23,690 --> 00:10:24,650
Okay, here we go.

159
00:10:24,730 --> 00:10:27,610
And none will describe them in the morning to the

160
00:10:27,610 --> 00:10:28,230
problem today.

161
00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:29,070
Excuse me, please.

162
00:10:29,150 --> 00:10:30,270
I do have some questions.

163
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:32,840
Okay.

164
00:10:33,180 --> 00:10:33,940
Thank you, Mr. Stratton.

165
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:35,500
All right.

166
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:36,520
Please.

167
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,560
Thank you.

168
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:41,840
Department comments.

169
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:43,560
Board of Health.

170
00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:45,920
A lot will do service by municipal water and sewer.

171
00:10:45,940 --> 00:10:47,260
All dwellings must comply.

172
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:49,780
With the minimum standards of fitness for human

173
00:10:49,780 --> 00:10:51,940
And we have an invitation to stand very cold chapter

174
00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:54,580
to from the city planner.

175
00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:58,780
He has no comment on the submitter request from the city

176
00:10:58,780 --> 00:11:01,180
engineer, no objections from him.

177
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,740
What a common city water is available from the existing

178
00:11:04,740 --> 00:11:06,800
city water may not fully bayway.

179
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,840
It's plans are required in need to be submitted to DPW for water

180
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,840
service of 8,000 curb stops.

181
00:11:12,220 --> 00:11:14,340
DPW payments are required including city license

182
00:11:14,340 --> 00:11:16,660
contractor, road open and indoor trench.

183
00:11:16,660 --> 00:11:22,500
DPW specifications apply including pressure testing materials, installation and new water

184
00:11:22,500 --> 00:11:26,000
meter will update a radio frequency unit and respect it in approval.

185
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:31,900
Pryonis is required before any say water work is to be performed and inspection will be

186
00:11:31,900 --> 00:11:33,520
required before that done.

187
00:11:34,340 --> 00:11:39,820
From the conservation pageant, the applicant will need to file an host's intent with a

188
00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:44,580
conservation commission as a proposed project is within the 100 foot buffer to board

189
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:50,380
run vegetated wetlands. And from the DPW, no objection to the

190
00:11:50,380 --> 00:11:55,060
variance request. And fire department, he's reviewed the plans and

191
00:11:55,060 --> 00:11:57,740
determine that sufficient fire department access does exist.

192
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,200
Thank you, Madam Secretary. All right. There's no further questions or

193
00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,700
enough to pop up. Is anyone here who would like to speak in favour? Anyone who

194
00:12:08,700 --> 00:12:12,100
would like to speak in favour here and none, is anyone who would like to speak

195
00:12:12,100 --> 00:12:12,780
opposition,

196
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:19,530
anybody would like to speak in opposition, and now's the time,

197
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:23,940
all

198
00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:24,200
sat?

199
00:12:24,780 --> 00:12:25,400
Yes, thank you.

200
00:12:25,980 --> 00:12:26,940
Thank you.

201
00:12:26,940 --> 00:12:29,560
If you could go over the microphone, please, and give us your name and

202
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:32,660
address for the record, thank you,

203
00:12:39,730 --> 00:12:42,430
raise your right hand, so other

204
00:12:42,430 --> 00:12:44,650
testimony about to give the truth to all, there's nothing about the

205
00:12:44,650 --> 00:12:45,490
truth to all of you, God?

206
00:12:45,770 --> 00:12:47,630
Yes, a name and address for the record, please.

207
00:12:48,010 --> 00:12:49,650
My name is Attorney Bill Brown.

208
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:52,250
My address is up and now, wait with mass.

209
00:12:52,910 --> 00:12:59,090
It's my daughter. She lives on a hiding street. The concerns she has is over the

210
00:12:59,090 --> 00:13:03,150
development down there. They wouldn't have been notified when the original

211
00:13:03,150 --> 00:13:08,950
hearing was going up there to put that roadway in there. And there you wouldn't

212
00:13:08,950 --> 00:13:13,930
it directly abuts it. The reason we're here tonight is by she gave me this

213
00:13:13,930 --> 00:13:17,630
stuff a little bit late coming down and they were of the concern that that

214
00:13:17,630 --> 00:13:23,670
also is going to go right in next to their lot and it appears for me looking at the plan

215
00:13:23,670 --> 00:13:28,750
here that it's going to be a good distance away from it. So I don't think she's got a concern

216
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:35,170
with that. There was some concern and some talk about where the property line was there and

217
00:13:35,170 --> 00:13:40,970
I'll be looking into that down the road but as far as that house I don't think it's really going

218
00:13:40,970 --> 00:13:42,630
affect them right now.

219
00:13:45,250 --> 00:13:45,850
All right.

220
00:13:46,070 --> 00:13:46,950
Thank you so much.

221
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,660
Anybody else who'd like to speak in opposition?

222
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:54,200
Hearing none.

223
00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:59,240
Mr. Ackerman, do you have your comments that you are kindly reserving?

224
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,280
I will down there.

225
00:14:02,380 --> 00:14:04,100
Since there is a road of improvement.

226
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,040
And there are several two places.

227
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,020
And at least one tried place.

228
00:14:11,020 --> 00:14:12,380
I just didn't believe in my eyes.

229
00:14:12,380 --> 00:14:15,280
because I thought it was only two places, but I didn't see the try.

230
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:28,040
If Proposition 7 passes with the state, that particular property could end up with a minimum

231
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:29,880
of four single family houses.

232
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:39,120
So the proposal today will eliminate that and only have a due class because I noticed the

233
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:48,100
fire and as wetlands which have blocked one and the way the layout is getting an ADU

234
00:14:48,100 --> 00:14:55,040
would be a little difficult also. So I think utilization for that neighborhood is really going

235
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:59,980
be only a doop that so. And I think put a single film in.

236
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:25,600
The fund again, wouldn't be in the character of the neighbourhood. So, you know, I want to at least, before I made a comment, because I didn't want to be contrary, then you are through any fee from the property line and the other side is a lot more. So any problems, I don't see any problems they're going to have with, have building a house in that location.

237
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,840
So, I driven down Aldrich Street thousands of times and never gone down fully pay

238
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:37,380
Wayne or the adjacent Wayne and I, too, was pleasantly surprised with the number of

239
00:15:37,380 --> 00:15:44,140
duplexes and multi-family, so it does seem like something that fits and is consistent with

240
00:15:44,140 --> 00:15:45,380
the rest of the neighborhood.

241
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:47,940
Anybody else have any other comments?

242
00:15:48,820 --> 00:15:49,760
Okay, need a motion.

243
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,960
Motion was made and I need a second.

244
00:15:55,940 --> 00:15:58,760
Motion was made and seconded on the motion.

245
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,100
Mr. Ackerman? Yes. Mr. Joyce?

246
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:01,420
Yes.

247
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:03,600
Chair votes just Mr. Faria?

248
00:16:03,740 --> 00:16:03,980
Yes.

249
00:16:04,220 --> 00:16:07,020
Mr. Dardi passes five notes in.

250
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:07,860
Thank you very much.

251
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:08,260
Thank you.

252
00:16:08,380 --> 00:16:09,800
Have a great night. Thank you.

253
00:16:11,460 --> 00:16:12,740
A second case this evening.

254
00:16:12,740 --> 00:16:19,760
Key 3, 5, 2, lock in, 24, lane, waste, street, a variance from section 4, 40, dash,

255
00:16:19,980 --> 00:16:24,620
6, 2, 4, 40 attachment, 3, there's only no evidence to allow the development of a lot

256
00:16:24,620 --> 00:16:29,200
having zero feet of front, you'll not with, instead of 150 feet of frontage and 100 feet

257
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,360
a lot with, but having a 15 foot wide, right of way for access.

258
00:16:40,380 --> 00:16:43,700
Is there any other testimony about the commitment to the total truth that's but the truth

259
00:16:43,700 --> 00:16:44,420
I hope you got?

260
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:45,640
I do.

261
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,340
All right, Scott Ferry, a J.K.

262
00:16:47,340 --> 00:16:50,400
Hongren, 1024, Pearl Street, proct and mask.

263
00:16:53,270 --> 00:16:54,490
Tell us what you wanted to do with this.

264
00:16:54,910 --> 00:16:55,910
All right.

265
00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:56,650
Yes, oh.

266
00:16:57,410 --> 00:17:00,370
I need to make a disclosure on this at the expirances.

267
00:17:00,810 --> 00:17:04,470
The petitioner on this case is a co-worker of mine.

268
00:17:04,570 --> 00:17:05,930
So I need to make that disclosure.

269
00:17:06,290 --> 00:17:08,970
I do believe that I can sit and get this impartially.

270
00:17:09,150 --> 00:17:10,610
So I will be sitting on the case.

271
00:17:11,650 --> 00:17:12,610
Thank you, Mr. Joyce.

272
00:17:15,300 --> 00:17:16,260
Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

273
00:17:16,300 --> 00:17:18,740
Again, Scott Ferry, a representant Tom Lacken.

274
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,400
Tom's hoping to construct a home at 24 lane-way street.

275
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:25,180
I have a call up.

276
00:17:25,340 --> 00:17:27,960
I'm looking at a blank block behind you, Mr. Chairman.

277
00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:30,000
But I think over there, you guys can see everything,

278
00:17:32,140 --> 00:17:32,140
so.

279
00:17:32,500 --> 00:17:38,860
So the property at 24 lane-way street has zero frontage.

280
00:17:39,180 --> 00:17:45,220
The reason we have for a variance we have adequate light area, adequate setbacks to meet all the zoning requirements.

281
00:17:45,220 --> 00:17:50,160
the LAT has zero frontage. Lainway Street is a private road that comes off of

282
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:57,580
birch street. Our LAT is a budgeted by a segregated golf course to the east, and then

283
00:17:57,580 --> 00:18:04,000
number 27 Smith, number 27, Lainway Street owned by the Smith pretty much surrounds our

284
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:11,420
property. Our property was taken out of the larger property back in 1925, so over 100 years ago,

285
00:18:11,420 --> 00:18:14,840
the property was taken out of the parent property and

286
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,800
deeded at the time to a family member with zero frontage on

287
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,180
Lainway Street by getting access to Lainway Street through a

288
00:18:22,180 --> 00:18:26,280
right of way. So that right of way from the subject

289
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,860
property to Lainway Street was in use from 1925 until I

290
00:18:30,860 --> 00:18:35,460
believed 2016, the home on 2016 exploded and burned to the

291
00:18:35,460 --> 00:18:39,620
around in a sat vacant sense, then since 2016.

292
00:18:41,780 --> 00:18:46,000
Mr. Lockin is, I'm going to try to click to the plan.

293
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:50,060
Mr. Lockin is proposing to build a single family home,

294
00:18:50,060 --> 00:18:52,100
meeting all the zoning setbacks.

295
00:18:53,420 --> 00:18:56,580
Smaller than the former footprint, the former footprint

296
00:18:56,580 --> 00:18:57,580
is shown in red.

297
00:18:58,180 --> 00:19:01,540
It was quite a large home about 4,000 square feet.

298
00:19:01,540 --> 00:19:08,020
Mr. Locken is building a small-a-house single-family home within that form of footprint.

299
00:19:08,660 --> 00:19:15,200
The septic system was replaced relatively recently, so it has a current septic system.

300
00:19:15,820 --> 00:19:19,560
We did go to the Conservation Commission back a couple of months ago and received conservation

301
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,060
approval as we do about the Segurganza River.

302
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,420
We have an addition to wetlands.

303
00:19:25,580 --> 00:19:29,920
We have riverfront concerns that we had to hash out with the Conservation Commission,

304
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,440
So we've already taken care of that.

305
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,920
So again, in this instance, our our high chip is certainly the

306
00:19:38,540 --> 00:19:43,720
decides and the shape of the lot of peculiar lot layout having zero

307
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:48,020
frontage being created that way over a hundred years ago is our

308
00:19:48,020 --> 00:19:48,560
high chip.

309
00:19:49,340 --> 00:19:52,620
The home certainly fits within the character of the neighborhood as

310
00:19:52,620 --> 00:19:56,420
there was a house there for 90 years and until the fire.

311
00:19:56,420 --> 00:20:04,480
So I think we're in meeting with the character of the neighborhood and I think the fact that we have zero frontage on a hundred-year-old lot

312
00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,720
meets the hijack requirement, Ms. Jim.

313
00:20:11,330 --> 00:20:12,710
I'd be happy to answer any questions.

314
00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:15,110
Questions comments from a board? Mr. Darden?

315
00:20:16,070 --> 00:20:22,150
So this existing problem you're showing in the land. Is that just the right way? Or is it that

316
00:20:22,150 --> 00:20:22,930
red line?

317
00:20:24,330 --> 00:20:25,950
No, it's the existing driveway that

318
00:20:25,950 --> 00:20:28,270
That you clearly have a lot of things.

319
00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:29,670
Yep.

320
00:20:29,670 --> 00:20:29,930
Okay.

321
00:20:30,050 --> 00:20:30,990
So it's a gravel in front.

322
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:31,650
Exactly.

323
00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:33,870
A gravel driveway comes off of Laneway Street.

324
00:20:37,660 --> 00:20:37,840
Yeah.

325
00:20:37,980 --> 00:20:40,220
It was a foundation that before.

326
00:20:41,340 --> 00:20:43,640
There was a house there for 90 years and right.

327
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,220
And what do you need of areas?

328
00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:49,320
Well, it's been over 10 years since the house burned.

329
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,680
So any grandfather protection the house had or the lot had with zero frontages.

330
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:59,100
loss that I figured if you have two years or three years to build on a grandfathered lot.

331
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:05,900
So because it's that bacon for ten years at this point, it's no longer grandfathered.

332
00:21:05,900 --> 00:21:07,060
As we understand it.

333
00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:13,020
Well, I don't, I guess it's a loss of what I can agree with it because I think that it was

334
00:21:13,020 --> 00:21:13,420
there.

335
00:21:14,020 --> 00:21:19,080
There's a foundation there and there's an existing right way to get in to the property

336
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,160
And it should be, in fact, a lot.

337
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:22,000
I am single.

338
00:21:22,340 --> 00:21:23,360
All right.

339
00:21:24,420 --> 00:21:25,700
That's how I am going through the question.

340
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:26,460
Thank you.

341
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,280
Thank you, Mr. Dardi.

342
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:28,020
Mr. Ackerman?

343
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:34,760
I think it's important that a neighbor sent him a letter.

344
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:44,020
I think that should be read, and then I'll have some questions in some of my responses once

345
00:21:44,020 --> 00:21:44,760
the letter is read.

346
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:45,020
Okay.

347
00:21:45,020 --> 00:21:57,600
But just so, prefer a reason requirement that you have to deal with in a certain period of time and if you don't, you lose the grandfather rights.

348
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:07,720
So, I know it's difficult, I mean, but the property sat there, so that's why they're here tonight.

349
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:14,280
And the most important thing I think once the letter is read is that you've already got

350
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:20,900
conservation approval, you want to conservation because a lot that's in the letter once

351
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:24,100
the letter is read, you want to see why I'm saying that.

352
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:42,620
Right? Yeah. That's what I said. We're going to do a time. So we have a opposition. Yeah. Well, we'll read the letter when a time is appropriate. Anybody else have any other questions, comments?

353
00:22:44,940 --> 00:22:56,500
Thank you, Mr. Chair. Although I'm not voting on this, I had a little concern in the beginning when I heard that there was absolutely no frontage, but now that you'd have explained it, makes all the sense in the world to me. Thank you.

354
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:06,100
Stero, question, communications from the

355
00:23:08,500 --> 00:23:09,240
Board of Health.

356
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,480
The lot will be serviced by an on-site septic system and private well.

357
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:17,140
All dwellings must comply with the minimum stain as a fitness for our human

358
00:23:17,140 --> 00:23:20,420
evitations, state, sanitary, cold, chapter two.

359
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,900
From the, I'm sorry, the city planner.

360
00:23:23,460 --> 00:23:26,760
He has no comment on the submitter request from the DPW.

361
00:23:27,220 --> 00:23:29,460
No objections from the, I'm sorry, the engineer.

362
00:23:29,460 --> 00:23:32,400
No objection from the engineering department.

363
00:23:33,420 --> 00:23:36,680
From the water department, city water is available from the existing

364
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,020
18-city water made on Lainway Street.

365
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,260
And they require the standard plans required and need to be

366
00:23:42,260 --> 00:23:44,140
senior to the DPW for water service.

367
00:23:44,700 --> 00:23:45,720
Gate valve curb stops.

368
00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:48,960
DPW permits are required including city license contract,

369
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:50,600
a road open and a trench.

370
00:23:51,180 --> 00:23:54,360
DPW specifications apply including any back load devices

371
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:57,600
must be inspected by the plumber or city inspector.

372
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:05,400
prior notices required before any city water work is to be performed in inspections will be required before that fill in.

373
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:10,900
From the conservation agent, there are no conservation issues regarding the concerns for the variants.

374
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:16,500
There is an approved order of conditions with this project issued on August 19, 26.

375
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:24,000
Once the project is completed and the site is established, a certificate of compliance will need to be filed to close it out.

376
00:24:26,010 --> 00:24:31,530
from the GPW commissioner, no objection to the variance request,

377
00:24:31,790 --> 00:24:34,010
and then he has the letter from the Navy.

378
00:24:35,230 --> 00:24:35,290
The Navy?

379
00:24:35,290 --> 00:24:35,990
The Navy.

380
00:24:36,670 --> 00:24:36,950
The Navy.

381
00:24:38,090 --> 00:24:38,330
OK.

382
00:24:39,510 --> 00:24:43,690
It's from Aaron and Karen Smith.

383
00:24:44,510 --> 00:24:47,910
This communication is a response to the notice of the aforementioned

384
00:24:47,910 --> 00:24:50,430
here in First of all, I would like to thank the board for the notice

385
00:24:50,430 --> 00:24:53,770
of public hearing and the opportunity to be a part of the process.

386
00:24:53,770 --> 00:24:55,910
the better off of our system of government,

387
00:24:55,990 --> 00:24:59,810
reciprocity, ability of the citizens, citizen-3,

388
00:25:00,030 --> 00:25:01,270
to be part of this process.

389
00:25:01,930 --> 00:25:03,650
Based on the proposal's various exemptions,

390
00:25:03,810 --> 00:25:06,150
listen to ZBA's communications and the taps

391
00:25:06,150 --> 00:25:07,990
led up provided by myself,

392
00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:09,690
outlined in the historical narrative

393
00:25:09,690 --> 00:25:11,710
based on my family's ownership of the

394
00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:14,070
bottom property since 1962.

395
00:25:14,490 --> 00:25:16,210
We respectfully request a ZBA

396
00:25:16,210 --> 00:25:19,450
as a delirited body to consider the following.

397
00:25:20,130 --> 00:25:21,690
Right away, field markings,

398
00:25:21,690 --> 00:25:26,390
It will appear that it would appear to be reasonable to request that the 15-foot right-of-way

399
00:25:26,390 --> 00:25:33,030
V clearly marked in the field so that all parties may be allowed to re-o the right-of-way and

400
00:25:33,770 --> 00:25:34,810
determinist legitimacy.

401
00:25:35,410 --> 00:25:39,910
This would especially, this would be especially important at the beginning and the end

402
00:25:39,910 --> 00:25:40,810
in another right-of-way.

403
00:25:41,650 --> 00:25:45,210
Liability, hold-homeless, agreement, de-modification.

404
00:25:45,810 --> 00:25:50,770
Based on the attachment occasion that has outlined the various concerns over the last 64

405
00:25:50,770 --> 00:25:58,030
years, I have a concern regarding implied liability with regard to detailed, with regard

406
00:25:58,030 --> 00:26:01,990
to severe weather events to include flooding and high impacts, no events.

407
00:26:02,450 --> 00:26:07,110
Both deeds should include detailed verbiage that outlines and protects the owners of 27

408
00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:12,730
lane-way street, both current and future, from any and all liabilities to any and all

409
00:26:12,730 --> 00:26:16,430
the properties that are generally west of the Saragenset River dam.

410
00:26:16,430 --> 00:26:20,290
This would include the large parcel and the three outlets tied to it.

411
00:26:20,490 --> 00:26:23,630
To be clear, these concerns are not about me and my family.

412
00:26:23,790 --> 00:26:27,270
This is about potential assumed liability and put you in.

413
00:26:27,570 --> 00:26:30,630
Not for a week, not for a month, or for a year, or whatever.

414
00:26:31,230 --> 00:26:35,390
We cannot accept any liability that could potentially be tied to these properties

415
00:26:35,390 --> 00:26:39,230
and will vigorously defend the property from civil liability.

416
00:26:40,430 --> 00:26:41,330
Other liabilities.

417
00:26:41,330 --> 00:26:47,470
The right-of-way traverses through our property as heavily wooded with moderate tree growth on both sides.

418
00:26:47,830 --> 00:26:55,050
The right-of-way will have to be clear to the extent needed to prevent the trees from block at access to the 24-lane-way steep property.

419
00:26:55,590 --> 00:26:56,950
Should they come down for any reason?

420
00:26:57,430 --> 00:27:06,190
In addition, there is potential liability related to impact for future buildings, power lines, and people walking along the right-of-way and border in areas.

421
00:27:06,190 --> 00:27:11,710
these areas should be addressed so that these concerns be mitigated to an agreeable extent.

422
00:27:13,050 --> 00:27:15,590
Expense share and related to access maintenance.

423
00:27:16,170 --> 00:27:19,450
Since the current and future owners of 27 layway street,

424
00:27:19,950 --> 00:27:27,030
and the associated Western face and properties will be responsible for all costs related to the upkeep and inspections of the serigens at River Dam.

425
00:27:27,530 --> 00:27:33,190
I feel it is reasonable for there to be a formal agreement that outlines some monetary contribution

426
00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:36,570
to an Esquire account held for the purpose of these expenses.

427
00:27:37,550 --> 00:27:38,910
The concept is fairly straightforward.

428
00:27:39,230 --> 00:27:42,350
24 laneway contributes to wear and tear of the robbery,

429
00:27:43,010 --> 00:27:44,030
which includes the dam.

430
00:27:44,570 --> 00:27:48,110
24 laneway also has invested interest in maintaining the dam

431
00:27:48,110 --> 00:27:50,770
and therefore they should contribute to the expenses.

432
00:27:51,410 --> 00:27:54,210
I cannot see how this would be anything but fear.

433
00:27:56,950 --> 00:27:59,390
In conclusion, I would like to once again thank the ZBA

434
00:27:59,390 --> 00:28:01,190
and the conservation provision for the opportunity

435
00:28:01,190 --> 00:28:02,970
to bring these matters to life.

436
00:28:02,970 --> 00:28:07,810
And I sincerely encourage the board in the commission to care as we consider the proposal

437
00:28:07,810 --> 00:28:14,350
at hand and to provide all deliberative discussions online in all the circumstances that have been brought forward.

438
00:28:14,810 --> 00:28:21,750
As a point of reference, since we are not the ones requesting these variances, we should not be required to address them.

439
00:28:22,050 --> 00:28:28,210
The participants should address them. In addition, we realize that some of these issues are generally not the purview of the ZBA.

440
00:28:28,210 --> 00:28:31,690
However, I feel they should be a matter of record.

441
00:28:31,970 --> 00:28:34,570
These points may hear a fear in a reasonable

442
00:28:34,570 --> 00:28:37,370
based on the actual conditions and historical events

443
00:28:37,370 --> 00:28:39,790
as outlined in the separate document.

444
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:42,140
What do you mean by that?

445
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,040
Because this is all I got.

446
00:28:44,860 --> 00:28:45,260
Thank you.

447
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:45,940
Thank you so much.

448
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,120
Madam Secretary, Mr. Aquaman, did you want to comment?

449
00:28:49,460 --> 00:28:50,680
I'm going to wait for the meeting.

450
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:56,220
If the need is to speak, I got some questions of the end in here.

451
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,820
Anybody here would like to speak in favor?

452
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,900
Anyone like to speak in favor here or not?

453
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,280
Is anybody here who would like to speak in opposition?

454
00:29:07,910 --> 00:29:09,850
Okay, come on down to the microphone.

455
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:28,060
My name is Aaron Smith.

456
00:29:28,260 --> 00:29:29,940
I live at 27 Laneway Street.

457
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:31,340
Raise your hand.

458
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:32,640
So are the testimony?

459
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,420
Let's give the truth to hold for itself.

460
00:29:34,660 --> 00:29:35,500
You got it?

461
00:29:35,500 --> 00:29:35,900
Yes.

462
00:29:39,580 --> 00:29:41,220
Name an address for the record, please, man.

463
00:29:41,220 --> 00:29:45,580
I'll Karen Smith, 27-Layon Way Street Tont, Mass.

464
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:47,140
Oh, no.

465
00:29:50,350 --> 00:29:50,630
Okay.

466
00:29:51,650 --> 00:29:53,790
Thank you for inviting me to speak this evening.

467
00:29:53,990 --> 00:29:55,450
I appreciate the opportunity.

468
00:29:56,270 --> 00:29:57,610
I will be as brief as possible.

469
00:29:57,830 --> 00:29:59,770
I'm sure that you folks want to get home to your families.

470
00:30:00,300 --> 00:30:06,220
Although on somewhat unrelated data decision today, the historical record matters as it relates to the project.

471
00:30:08,770 --> 00:30:17,910
Let me say for the record that I have no opposition to responsible development within the city, responsible development fuels the local economy and fund city services.

472
00:30:19,010 --> 00:30:27,110
You, as the deliberative body, make critical decisions regarding many projects. My assumption is that most of them are fairly straightforward.

473
00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:33,790
and require you to lay out a few conditions that will mitigate the concerns I assure you

474
00:30:33,790 --> 00:30:35,350
this project is not that.

475
00:30:37,820 --> 00:30:41,040
There's a due diligence issue. The original home was tragically

476
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:48,280
lost in 2015. Since that time, the property has been on and off the market several times. It

477
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:53,980
is well documented with the current state of the real estate boom that listing times for building

478
00:30:53,980 --> 00:30:55,440
lots are very short.

479
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:05,020
It would seem fairly apparent to any potential buyer that access to and

480
00:31:05,020 --> 00:31:11,960
from the property is unusual to say the least. Some of the questions a reasonable person might

481
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:23,960
ask would be who owns the road? Who maintains the road? Where is the right of way? Where is it

482
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:25,280
will it be impacted?

483
00:31:26,100 --> 00:31:28,380
Can I get to my house during severe events?

484
00:31:28,860 --> 00:31:33,520
I ask these questions because I've lived there for 62 years and every one of those things

485
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:34,400
has been a problem.

486
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:41,060
No questions were posed to me regarding the project prior to where we are now.

487
00:31:43,340 --> 00:31:48,820
My assumption is, and a question I would ask is maybe we were thinking we were just going

488
00:31:48,820 --> 00:31:50,320
to be all fly this thing under the radar.

489
00:31:51,020 --> 00:31:51,880
That's not going to happen.

490
00:31:51,880 --> 00:32:04,700
This project in the deed should include language related to flood liability, access, and maintenance agreements and clearly agreed upon and added to the property records of both parcels.

491
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,200
There is only one way in and one way out of this property.

492
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,820
Should that access become impaired for any reason?

493
00:32:13,820 --> 00:32:24,760
That responsibility, if alleged, to be under my control, will be my concern related to

494
00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,200
24 lane-way street.

495
00:32:27,300 --> 00:32:33,620
Sometime in the late 1920s, a one-and-a-half acre parcel was separated from a 250-acre

496
00:32:33,620 --> 00:32:37,700
parcel as a result of a marriage between the Chafes and the Gamble.

497
00:32:39,780 --> 00:32:47,000
I do not know why an odd shaped parcel, basically on the river, was pulled out of a 250-acre

498
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:50,440
parcel, and I don't think we'll ever know that.

499
00:32:51,380 --> 00:32:57,360
The parcel now known as 24 laneway street is bounded easterly by the Segregansett River.

500
00:32:57,980 --> 00:33:03,080
The couple decided to build the structure very close to the river's edge, most likely

501
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:04,940
for aesthetic reasons.

502
00:33:06,020 --> 00:33:09,700
The front door was 35 feet from the Ridge's Rivers Edge

503
00:33:09,700 --> 00:33:11,320
at mean water level.

504
00:33:12,260 --> 00:33:15,460
The water level fluctuates wildly, widely.

505
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:19,940
Sometimes, as far as 45 feet away from the front door

506
00:33:19,940 --> 00:33:24,800
under drought conditions, to as close as 25 feet away

507
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,140
under flooding conditions.

508
00:33:26,840 --> 00:33:29,960
During extreme flooding conditions, such as the 2005

509
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:37,180
and water levels did creep much closer than 25 feet to the front door.

510
00:33:38,580 --> 00:33:41,440
We all know that a new project of this scope,

511
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:46,860
as originally conceived in 1920, would be virtually impossible in 2026.

512
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:52,180
In 2026, there would be concerns regarding the proximity of the river,

513
00:33:52,700 --> 00:33:57,200
the ACEC, setbacks, septic systems, well water, et cetera.

514
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:06,120
In the 1920s, I am fairly confident that the permit approval process was either non-existent or very limited.

515
00:34:08,060 --> 00:34:16,280
Due to the size and shape of the property, and its proximity to the second against river, structure placement options are very limited.

516
00:34:17,620 --> 00:34:23,680
Over the last 60 years, the home has had issues due to its proximity to the waterline.

517
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,900
These include soil wash out.

518
00:34:28,580 --> 00:34:35,920
So oil wash out is a process that involves continual intrusion of water in an area and

519
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:42,060
as the water level rises and falls, silt washes out of the soil structure and leaves

520
00:34:42,060 --> 00:34:42,540
a void.

521
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:49,800
Over time this can form a large void against the foundation or under a foundation.

522
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,600
When this occurs, failures can happen.

523
00:34:56,020 --> 00:34:58,980
This was happening to the previous structure throughout its life.

524
00:34:59,300 --> 00:35:03,560
At one point, the ground level against this foundation, for the original house,

525
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:08,540
had sunk about 18 inches at the entire perimeter of the home.

526
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,720
Meaning, you had a soil level here, you had a soil level here,

527
00:35:13,940 --> 00:35:16,820
originally against the foundation, it was down 18 inches.

528
00:35:16,820 --> 00:35:22,440
again due to the soil wash-out. This was obviously a major structural

529
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:28,300
concern since the river elevation routinely rises above the foundation floor.

530
00:35:28,540 --> 00:35:31,540
There's no practical way to engineer this out of the equation.

531
00:35:33,940 --> 00:35:34,400
Water and

532
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,380
truzen into the cellar is another factor or was another factor. Pumps went

533
00:35:39,380 --> 00:35:42,840
stalled in the cellar to control water and truzen. This may be marginally

534
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:47,420
affected to some degree under drought or even mean water levels.

535
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:53,940
But this was an essentially an exercise in futility, pumping water in a circle when there

536
00:35:53,940 --> 00:36:01,480
is power under river flood stage, there is no some pump that can keep up with it.

537
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,480
Then we come to liability and litigation.

538
00:36:03,820 --> 00:36:07,660
Should the project move forward, there will be problems and there will always be problems.

539
00:36:11,020 --> 00:36:18,620
If there is some sort of failure related to flooding or soil wash out, the legal process will begin.

540
00:36:19,860 --> 00:36:28,960
First, the insurer of 24 laneway will look at the associated cost and repairs, see the high numbers and start looking to point the finger elsewhere.

541
00:36:30,060 --> 00:36:40,240
Most likely at the engineer, and the builder first, then they will look at various aspects of pathways to project completion, and at some point, I will be brought into that.

542
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:44,460
Simply because I control the segregants at River Dan.

543
00:36:48,540 --> 00:36:52,140
These are the simple facts of 2026, we all know it.

544
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:59,400
We live in a very litigious society. I must defend the property from this scenario. I have no choice here.

545
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:06,040
this is in perpetuity forever. It's not about me, not about my family, it's about a hundred and ten

546
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:11,480
acre piece of property that is going to have assumed liability in perpetuity.

547
00:37:12,740 --> 00:37:18,160
You as a deliberative body have the authority to require an in personal third-party review,

548
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:27,880
chosen by this body to review and advise this body of the project paid for at the petitioner's expense.

549
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:29,980
this will ensure that the project

550
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:37,540
Post is reasonable responsible and prudent. It will also allow you to review and require appropriate conditions for the project.

551
00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:47,660
I am sure that the project plans are accurate and complete. However, they may be unknowingly incomplete or inaccurate, as they were proposed

552
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,500
from the perspective of the petitioner.

553
00:37:54,700 --> 00:37:56,720
and reviewed not by a third party.

554
00:37:57,260 --> 00:37:58,760
In conclusion, I have a simple question.

555
00:37:59,540 --> 00:38:02,540
It was a mistake to build this home 100 years ago,

556
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,620
and we're going to do it again.

557
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,280
I'll be using improved construction methods.

558
00:38:10,380 --> 00:38:12,480
In the end, there are three things.

559
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:17,200
There are known unknowns, unknown unknowns, and known unknowns.

560
00:38:17,860 --> 00:38:21,560
It is clear that this is an example of a known unknown.

561
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:29,120
one. We all know that there will be future flooding events. It is unknown when or how bad

562
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:34,240
there will be. So I'll piece into New England whether runs in cycles approximately in

563
00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:39,740
a 20 year cycle. If you start with a hurricane of 38 and carrying on through the hurricane

564
00:38:39,740 --> 00:38:46,460
of the 50s include Hurricane Carol, the Blizzard of 78, the damn crisis of 2005, the Blizzard

565
00:38:46,460 --> 00:38:52,780
of 2026 sprinkling Hurricane Bob and Halloween storm of 1991, and you've had some doosies.

566
00:38:54,220 --> 00:38:59,320
We have survived the wall down there, mainly through planning and hard work.

567
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,640
If we ignore the history, we're doing to repeat the mistake.

568
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:14,200
The true issue here is related to dam and the access across the dam and the control of the

569
00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:16,220
and the liability to my property.

570
00:39:18,950 --> 00:39:19,810
I appreciate your time.

571
00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:24,940
Thank you.

572
00:39:25,720 --> 00:39:27,700
I'd just like to add something.

573
00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:33,820
In regards to the house that was there at one time,

574
00:39:34,500 --> 00:39:37,560
it was not built per se as a house.

575
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:41,320
It was basically built by the gambles

576
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,520
to be kind of a guest home that was very large.

577
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:51,380
It had a ballroom because I remember it going over there in 93.

578
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:57,140
It had a huge ballroom and all along up above on the second floor,

579
00:39:57,140 --> 00:40:03,920
we're a little rooms that people could stay because the gambles that lived in our house

580
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:12,180
originally, they had a cattle, the raised cattle, and I think dairy cows,

581
00:40:12,180 --> 00:40:18,020
and they would have quite a few visitors coming up because they were from Virginia, they would

582
00:40:18,020 --> 00:40:26,760
have visitors come up and that's where they would like to put them over at that 24-lane way.

583
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:34,140
So I think that part of the reason that they never really got involved with all specific

584
00:40:34,140 --> 00:40:38,740
things is that they just needed a place for people to like kind of an overflow.

585
00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:47,280
And I know there's only because of people that have come to the farm that have used to work for the gambles way back when.

586
00:40:47,460 --> 00:40:53,140
I mean, I'm sure the person has passed away because he was like 80 when I was like 50.

587
00:40:53,740 --> 00:41:00,400
But they worked at the farm and all. So he would tell us, you know, all about the place.

588
00:41:00,980 --> 00:41:06,620
So I don't think originally it was for a regular living dwelling.

589
00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:14,840
and over the years the people that have stayed there have never stayed there for very long

590
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:20,590
because of all the problems with the host. The last people that lived there were at Burnt down,

591
00:41:21,780 --> 00:41:30,460
they had two pumps in the house running 24-7 and that's one of the reasons why the host

592
00:41:30,460 --> 00:41:38,280
burnt down is because they got a, they're always losing electricity, they got a, a generator,

593
00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:47,700
run by propane, and they didn't run the wires of the propane correctly, and that's how it

594
00:41:47,700 --> 00:41:48,300
burnt down.

595
00:41:48,460 --> 00:41:57,320
We had in February the snow in the ice off the roof, caused the pipes to burst and go all

596
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:04,400
the propane going to the cell, and when somebody went to take a shower, just blew up the

597
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:10,640
house. So, I mean, it's had its problems. It is a beautiful spot. I don't blame anybody

598
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:16,200
for wanting to be there, but they, you know, they got to realize that they could run into that,

599
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:21,020
because no one's ever been happy there. It's not as many people there. They like being there

600
00:42:21,020 --> 00:42:26,380
first, and then it was just a headache, you know, for everybody, but just to be

601
00:42:26,380 --> 00:42:30,780
aware, and the thing is basically what my husband, he doesn't mind if somebody

602
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:36,240
bills their lives there, but he just doesn't want to be responsible over the years to

603
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:43,740
have to, you know, do anything more than what we do already, you know, for taking care

604
00:42:43,740 --> 00:42:47,780
of things to make sure this isn't like that, because now there's someone else

605
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,800
Thank you so much, Pam.

606
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:52,400
Okay.

607
00:42:53,060 --> 00:42:53,700
Thank you.

608
00:42:53,720 --> 00:42:54,900
Thank you.

609
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,920
Anybody else who would like to speak in opposition?

610
00:42:59,540 --> 00:43:00,600
Mr. Farrey, you're on.

611
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,380
Thank you.

612
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:09,080
Really, the only thing I have to, I guess, to respond, Mr. Chairman, is the environmental concerns

613
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,600
that concerns about the flooding of the Seger Gants at River.

614
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,360
That's exactly why we went to conservation first before we came to you, folks.

615
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:19,320
in the flood elevation of the Segurganza River

616
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,400
set by FEMA is elevation 90.

617
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:26,420
Our finish floor is gonna be 17 feet above that elevation 107.

618
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,680
Our basement floor is gonna be nine feet above it.

619
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:31,560
So the basement floor is nine feet above the flood elevation.

620
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:36,140
So I think we've got knowing that's the flood elevation,

621
00:43:36,580 --> 00:43:38,420
knowing the history of the area,

622
00:43:39,300 --> 00:43:41,820
and knowing that there could be some basement

623
00:43:41,820 --> 00:43:44,740
and flooding issues, that's why we've got the house

624
00:43:44,740 --> 00:43:50,680
that fire up in the air. So certainly a nine foot buffer between the flood elevation in the

625
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:55,460
basement floor where pretty comfortable and confident with that. And again, that's exactly

626
00:43:55,460 --> 00:44:00,260
why we went to conservation to give the conservation commission a chance to review everything.

627
00:44:01,060 --> 00:44:06,180
In this case where it is along the river, it's a little bit more complicated with the DEP regulation,

628
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:12,180
so it goes through a pretty good review from DEP as well. So we feel like it's been vetted pretty

629
00:44:12,180 --> 00:44:14,180
Well, at this point, invite mentally, Mr. Chairman.

630
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:18,420
Mr. Faria.

631
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,680
Is that street private all the way from birth street all the way down?

632
00:44:23,780 --> 00:44:24,140
Correct.

633
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:26,280
And who maintains that street now?

634
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,680
I believe Mr. Smith does.

635
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:34,480
There's nothing formal and I would need that speaks to any maintenance,

636
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:38,930
but Mr. Smith does take care of it.

637
00:44:38,930 --> 00:44:40,030
It's a private way.

638
00:44:42,050 --> 00:44:43,590
So I think like most private ways,

639
00:44:43,590 --> 00:44:45,830
be a butter zone up to the centerline.

640
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:04,720
I know the three pretty well. Mr. Darden, I'll stop.

641
00:45:05,100 --> 00:45:08,560
It's an unaccepted public way. It's not private, please.

642
00:45:09,140 --> 00:45:09,720
Mr. Ackerman.

643
00:45:12,500 --> 00:45:16,800
First, I want to thank the individuals who are coming up.

644
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:17,800
It's a fascinating view.

645
00:45:27,010 --> 00:45:27,410
Yes, sir.

646
00:45:27,610 --> 00:45:29,070
You're a certified engineer.

647
00:45:30,450 --> 00:45:36,310
Your company is registered with the state qualified.

648
00:45:38,590 --> 00:45:40,570
You went to conservation,

649
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,140
which was a very smart move.

650
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:50,720
Because if you didn't, and you came here first, we tried to tell you to go there, and then come back.

651
00:45:51,220 --> 00:45:51,560
It was tons of...

652
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:52,080
Those tons of...

653
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:52,260
Those tons of...

654
00:45:52,260 --> 00:45:53,140
Those tons of tons of tons of tons of tons of tons.

655
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:55,380
That was a very great...

656
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:56,620
He's smart.

657
00:45:56,800 --> 00:46:01,540
You're talking about a 4,000 square foot half.

658
00:46:01,620 --> 00:46:03,080
I'm running it off.

659
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:05,760
And cut in half, done a 2,000.

660
00:46:06,820 --> 00:46:15,260
We have major new building codes for the commonwealth of the mass in the city of Tornin,

661
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,380
which this house will comply to.

662
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:28,000
The city engineer will be monitoring the development as far as the engineering aspect,

663
00:46:28,300 --> 00:46:32,880
the building department will monitor the actual structure.

664
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,620
It is a right away per what you're showing.

665
00:46:43,910 --> 00:46:54,370
In your mind, have you found any written notification of the right away where there was agreements made.

666
00:46:56,070 --> 00:47:00,530
So now it becomes a civil matter between the two parties.

667
00:47:01,530 --> 00:47:05,420
This board is only responsible to look at.

668
00:47:05,420 --> 00:47:13,900
Is there access to it is a illegal right away, which is shown, and you said it's registered.

669
00:47:15,320 --> 00:47:22,640
And the city, the partners will monitor the actual structure and the whole property.

670
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:32,880
conservation have many points and I haven't seen the conservation decision but we got a very good

671
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:43,760
conservation board, a monitor and a very stringent on conservation issues, be it alone or

672
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:47,940
other way, you've got to get also me DEP required, right?

673
00:47:49,620 --> 00:47:57,480
I along with my colleague at Carrera, I first looked at this thought, I'm going to be

674
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:03,840
a long night because I'm going to be really awesome questions and probably negative, but

675
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:11,400
after reading everything, and it was very detailed letter and a very detailed explanation here,

676
00:48:12,980 --> 00:48:20,640
to very important points come. Most of them are conservation issues which was handled.

677
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:27,040
If they approved that the move forward, I'm not going to be the end of challenge.

678
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:34,940
You know what conservation type? I go all whatever their decision is. I know the city departments

679
00:48:34,940 --> 00:48:41,980
who are going to monitor the construction and look out things, fight a parliament, gave a

680
00:48:41,980 --> 00:48:46,440
approval, they can get there, that's what counts.

681
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:54,560
So to me it comes down and now being a civil matter determined, what agreement can be made

682
00:48:54,560 --> 00:49:01,300
between the two parties, and this board is never, and I've been on the board on the study

683
00:49:01,300 --> 00:49:11,800
one years of jumped in and ordered that you have to do this and do that. We've recommended

684
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:17,500
please sit down, try to work things up and I'm going to say please sit down and try to

685
00:49:17,500 --> 00:49:23,460
work things out. But we don't have the authority to tell you you have to do X, Y, and

686
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:28,490
and we don't have authority to tell the owner to do that's why it's

687
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,900
that's, again, that's what the courts are, that's what neighbors do.

688
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,100
So, in light of that,

689
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:54,800
you've been here before, I know you're from, I know you're going to be

690
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,280
And this was done.

691
00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:01,080
So again, when I first looked at it, I was a definite no.

692
00:50:01,820 --> 00:50:06,160
But again, as I dug into it, I became a marginal no.

693
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:14,900
And after knowing the conservation of truth and looking into the matter, I'm sorry for

694
00:50:14,900 --> 00:50:17,300
the Smiths, but I become a positive yes.

695
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:37,190
And I think the main draw is if this board approves it, I think the owner and the smiths should get together and try to work out something legally that could be done because this board does not have that authority.

696
00:50:41,180 --> 00:50:43,120
Thank you, Mr. Strachman. Mr. Doddy?

697
00:50:44,620 --> 00:50:50,140
Yeah, so I have to assume I'm not going to someone else.

698
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:56,200
This right away is it not part of a deed is it not a deed right away going into the property?

699
00:50:56,620 --> 00:50:59,000
The right of way off of Lainway Street, correct?

700
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:00,060
Okay, yes.

701
00:51:00,460 --> 00:51:06,880
And Lainway is a public non-accepted role in the Smith.

702
00:51:08,380 --> 00:51:10,000
And are there any other house on the street?

703
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:17,020
I think if you look here, just the three houses weigh up in the front off of Burt Street, but they do front off of Lainway.

704
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:18,020
So there are three houses.

705
00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:23,180
Thank you.

706
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:23,780
Mr. Joyce?

707
00:51:24,720 --> 00:51:24,880
Thank you.

708
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:26,800
I have any comments.

709
00:51:27,040 --> 00:51:27,100
I know.

710
00:51:29,140 --> 00:51:29,680
Mr. Turner?

711
00:51:30,140 --> 00:51:30,400
Paul Scott?

712
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:31,300
Okay.

713
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:34,150
All right, gentlemen.

714
00:51:34,770 --> 00:51:37,030
Well, we've emotional.

715
00:51:39,420 --> 00:51:40,140
I'm emotional.

716
00:51:40,320 --> 00:51:40,620
Motion.

717
00:51:40,620 --> 00:51:44,220
Motion approved as presented was made by Mr. Dardy.

718
00:51:44,340 --> 00:51:45,020
Do I have a second?

719
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:45,780
Second.

720
00:51:45,780 --> 00:51:48,420
Okay, motion made in second. Any further discussion?

721
00:51:50,660 --> 00:51:54,240
Okay, here we are, on the motion, Mr. Dordi. Mr. Faria.

722
00:51:55,020 --> 00:51:56,440
Chair of Ocasmas, Mr. Joyce.

723
00:51:57,120 --> 00:51:57,760
Mr. Aquaman?

724
00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:58,240
Yes.

725
00:51:59,040 --> 00:51:59,420
It's approved.

726
00:51:59,780 --> 00:52:00,040
Five nothing.

727
00:52:00,420 --> 00:52:00,900
Thank you.

728
00:52:00,980 --> 00:52:01,280
Thank you.

729
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:01,980
Good night.

730
00:52:04,860 --> 00:52:07,500
Okay, next case, Dreams to Realty LLC.

731
00:52:07,860 --> 00:52:09,840
16, A Street.

732
00:52:10,020 --> 00:52:11,540
Case number 3, 5, 4.

733
00:52:11,900 --> 00:52:15,140
The variance from section 440 attachment through the zone known in

734
00:52:15,140 --> 00:52:19,960
allow the reconstruction of a two-family drawing on the existing foundation, have been a

735
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:27,480
front yard setback of 18 feet, seven inches from north, south instead of 25.

736
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,380
Raise your hand, please.

737
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,120
Sweat the testimony, everyone, to give the truth.

738
00:52:33,260 --> 00:52:35,360
The whole truth, nothing left the truth to hope you got?

739
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:37,100
Name an address for the racket?

740
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:39,900
Jason Barrow, 69-12F.

741
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:42,040
Tell us what you want to do, start?

742
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:45,220
I'm going to read off this.

743
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:46,200
Of course.

744
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,220
Good evening. My name is Jason Barrow.

745
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,900
I'm here with a question in front of your setback.

746
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:54,980
We're leaving, so I can continue to re-construction of the existing two-family dwelling

747
00:52:54,980 --> 00:52:56,500
at 160 Bay Street.

748
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:01,320
During demolition, the work went further than originally planned because the existing

749
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:04,200
still play and surrounding structural components would be on repair.

750
00:53:05,060 --> 00:53:08,580
The building department advised me that my options were to remove the portion of the

751
00:53:08,580 --> 00:53:13,260
foundation within the setback, demolished the existing foundation and relocate the structure,

752
00:53:13,980 --> 00:53:15,760
or request relief from this board.

753
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:21,680
Removing or relocating the existing foundation would create a substantial financial hardship

754
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,620
and requires to never get redesigned in additional construction.

755
00:53:26,480 --> 00:53:29,900
This property is also a corner lot, so the front yard

756
00:53:29,900 --> 00:53:33,640
setback applies to both the front and side of the structure.

757
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,100
A typical interior lot would generally have a 15-foot

758
00:53:37,100 --> 00:53:40,980
side setback, but this property requires 25 feet

759
00:53:40,980 --> 00:53:42,420
setback along that side.

760
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,420
The existing structure has approximately 18 feet,

761
00:53:47,180 --> 00:53:50,200
which would normally be sufficient if this was not a corner lot.

762
00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:57,100
I am requesting relief to continue rebuilding the two family dwelling using the existing foundation location.

763
00:53:57,220 --> 00:54:03,000
I believe the Cornelot conditions create a unique hardship and granting this relief for a lot of property

764
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:07,340
to be safely completed and returns a productive residential use.

765
00:54:07,500 --> 00:54:08,980
Thank you for your consideration.

766
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:10,040
Thank you.

767
00:54:10,200 --> 00:54:12,180
I drove by that today along with all the others.

768
00:54:12,340 --> 00:54:14,960
And I noticed that your lot was exceptionally clean.

769
00:54:15,460 --> 00:54:18,560
Are you going to be first for a second for?

770
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:25,320
It's going to be two-and-a-half stories, so first of all, it's like one-and-a-half story on the top.

771
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:28,380
Any other questions from any other board members?

772
00:54:29,740 --> 00:54:32,940
So are you going to increase this square footage of the new building?

773
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:38,260
Yeah, so initially it was permitted to do, I'm keeping the same.

774
00:54:38,300 --> 00:54:39,980
I'm not changing the plans from the permit.

775
00:54:40,620 --> 00:54:47,580
It's just since we was trying to keep the existing first floor and the frame on the first floor and the sole plate.

776
00:54:47,580 --> 00:54:49,720
But by the time we got on the brick exterior,

777
00:54:50,620 --> 00:54:53,140
we realized we wasn't going to be able to save it.

778
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,180
So once we get to that point, then it brings me to here,

779
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,700
because I guess there's no longer a grandfather

780
00:55:00,020 --> 00:55:01,340
in for the use.

781
00:55:06,930 --> 00:55:10,350
It should be any questions from anyone else.

782
00:55:11,310 --> 00:55:14,470
The problem is please, Madam Secretary.

783
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,700
From the board of health, a lot will be serviced

784
00:55:19,700 --> 00:55:21,000
by Ms. World Water and Sewer.

785
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,100
All dwellers must comply with the minimum state

786
00:55:24,100 --> 00:55:26,360
as a fitness for human habitation state,

787
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:30,800
Senator Co-2, City and City Cleaner

788
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:35,330
has no comment on the request from the engineer.

789
00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:37,550
No objection from the engineer's office

790
00:55:37,550 --> 00:55:40,350
from the water department, City Water Services,

791
00:55:40,470 --> 00:55:42,890
the existing buildings, no comments at this time.

792
00:55:43,550 --> 00:55:47,270
From a conservation, there's no conservation concerns

793
00:55:47,270 --> 00:55:54,610
regarding the special permit, and then from DPW, no objection to the plan, but the restored

794
00:55:54,610 --> 00:56:02,110
bulkhead nearest to North Avenue, appears to be closer than the 18.7 variants request.

795
00:56:08,180 --> 00:56:09,880
See the little bump out?

796
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,860
That bump out has to meet setbacks too.

797
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:14,480
Let me just point this out.

798
00:56:14,860 --> 00:56:15,420
I didn't know this at all.

799
00:56:15,580 --> 00:56:16,700
Can we measure that?

800
00:56:16,820 --> 00:56:17,360
Well, we didn't know.

801
00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,600
that probably the bulkhead really that have to be removed

802
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,600
and that's probably re-avitized.

803
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:25,700
So you're advertising 18 point?

804
00:56:25,980 --> 00:56:27,060
No, but.

805
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:28,940
Did he measure it?

806
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,420
We measured it when we was in a, when I came in,

807
00:56:31,500 --> 00:56:35,000
we measured the bulkhead on the map for the scale roll

808
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:35,500
or something.

809
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:36,740
Yeah, she used her.

810
00:56:37,620 --> 00:56:37,960
Hold on.

811
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,120
I mean, look at, well, that's the engineer.

812
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:41,720
I'm not going to.

813
00:56:43,040 --> 00:56:44,560
The bulkhead on the end up?

814
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:45,460
Yeah, existing.

815
00:56:49,230 --> 00:56:55,010
So you have to be 25, if the house is only 18,

816
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:03,080
so the house, the measurement is 18 point.

817
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,400
Yeah, but I can't, when I came in and we measured it because see how the house is on the angle.

818
00:57:07,720 --> 00:57:09,060
So like it opens up as it goes down.

819
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:13,800
However, if it's obviously, well, let me look and see, I have a, I have a clean here.

820
00:57:14,300 --> 00:57:16,260
If it's, yeah, you know what you say that?

821
00:57:16,300 --> 00:57:18,260
Yeah, I thought we'd double check it before we came.

822
00:57:18,260 --> 00:57:22,360
more than we don't have to rehabilitate because

823
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:26,960
I thought Kevin was here wasn't

824
00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:31,040
so are you gonna hung up later on huh we don't want you to hung up no no no no no no it's a

825
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:34,400
come on let me see I think

826
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:48,060
we did yeah I remember we did because I I noticed it too

827
00:57:48,060 --> 00:57:48,240
then.

828
00:57:49,740 --> 00:57:50,260
I have them.

829
00:57:53,690 --> 00:57:54,730
Let me see.

830
00:57:56,010 --> 00:57:58,630
This is going to work for you.

831
00:57:58,830 --> 00:57:59,250
What is this?

832
00:58:04,150 --> 00:58:04,890
I don't want to do it.

833
00:58:05,370 --> 00:58:06,370
Why don't you go swimming?

834
00:58:06,830 --> 00:58:09,010
I don't think I have a 20.

835
00:58:09,170 --> 00:58:10,090
I don't see.

836
00:58:10,910 --> 00:58:12,030
Just do it for you.

837
00:58:12,870 --> 00:58:13,990
30, 20.

838
00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:22,680
In 16, yeah.

839
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,320
I might be the same because of the white.

840
00:58:24,700 --> 00:58:24,920
Yeah.

841
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:25,220
Very long.

842
00:58:25,220 --> 00:58:25,680
This is well.

843
00:58:25,700 --> 00:58:25,940
No.

844
00:58:26,180 --> 00:58:27,080
I think it's a good one.

845
00:58:29,860 --> 00:58:33,640
I had to guess I had to go out my glasses.

846
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:38,140
Maybe 18 or 17 that's 15, 16, 17.

847
00:58:42,340 --> 00:58:42,500
Yeah.

848
00:58:45,220 --> 00:58:46,440
This is what I could be closed.

849
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:51,120
If you were, if I mean if you can try it, the plan is really

850
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:52,120
kind of on the end of the end of the year.

851
00:58:52,660 --> 00:58:54,240
But he used to be, he's an end of the year.

852
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:55,800
He's a DBW Christian now.

853
00:58:56,180 --> 00:58:57,020
Who pointed out.

854
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,320
The lot does well enough so I could really maybe get into it.

855
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,780
It's something that you could sort all day to run either.

856
00:59:06,780 --> 00:59:08,700
You could adjustment or modification,

857
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,860
or you can come back and search, you can come back.

858
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,140
You'd have to advertise correctly,

859
00:59:16,500 --> 00:59:19,400
but the one one can make a way to see.

860
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:22,340
I wish you all the same.

861
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:24,280
Yeah, just.

862
00:59:24,580 --> 00:59:26,080
Well, is this the answer to the book?

863
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:28,600
You'd have to try to read it.

864
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:30,920
Would I have to make it?

865
00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,040
Can I ask you a question?

866
00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:36,460
But if we don't vote tonight, and it's continued a month, is that going to affect you?

867
00:59:37,420 --> 00:59:37,460
Yes.

868
00:59:39,500 --> 00:59:42,140
I have a question here with you now, but you want to vote?

869
00:59:42,140 --> 00:59:44,880
Now, would I be able to keep it within that?

870
00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:45,000
Yes.

871
00:59:45,300 --> 00:59:45,680
18.

872
00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:46,800
Exactly.

873
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:47,480
Yeah.

874
00:59:47,860 --> 00:59:48,560
I can make that one.

875
00:59:48,580 --> 00:59:49,380
I can make that one.

876
00:59:49,980 --> 00:59:53,220
So if you advertise 18.5 feet, you have to be with me.

877
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:55,800
Anything outside of that, it's going to be an issue.

878
00:59:56,580 --> 00:59:57,060
No, we'll find it.

879
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:00,760
Questions?

880
01:00:01,340 --> 01:00:07,380
Um, from, you know, Jackson, I just want to make sure I do that. I did okay, yeah.

881
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:12,020
You sent this, and then the others was fire. Fire department reviewed it and determined

882
01:00:12,020 --> 01:00:13,800
that fire department access to success.

883
01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:20,900
Thank you, Madam Secretary. Anyone here would like to speak in favor? You know,

884
01:00:21,140 --> 01:00:24,520
a nine, anyone who would like to speak in opposition? Need a motion?

885
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:31,960
Okay, motion made and seconded on the motion and Mr. Opponent.

886
01:00:34,830 --> 01:00:41,530
I have no problem with the project. I feel uncomfortable voting with a major question there.

887
01:00:42,610 --> 01:00:51,570
If he's understanding over the next few days, did he certify that they needed advertising

888
01:00:53,350 --> 01:00:59,590
then he should be informed that he has to come back next month. Or he could choose to modify that.

889
01:00:59,630 --> 01:01:02,570
He should modify the plan. He's almost here.

890
01:01:03,710 --> 01:01:05,090
He's almost here in the stairs.

891
01:01:05,430 --> 01:01:09,350
What that? I'm not asking to change anything.

892
01:01:10,170 --> 01:01:14,370
I'm just just wanted to bring it up so I can vote yes on this.

893
01:01:15,910 --> 01:01:17,190
Is that your vote, Mr. Ackler?

894
01:01:17,310 --> 01:01:18,530
Yes, it'll be yes.

895
01:01:18,530 --> 01:01:21,030
Okay, thank you, Mr. Actman. That was the long issue.

896
01:01:21,250 --> 01:01:25,430
That's in the history of, uh, Zona White, I don't know what it is.

897
01:01:26,150 --> 01:01:33,170
Mr. Joyce, Chair of O'Jazz, Mr. Varia, Mr. D'Arty, to prove five nothing

898
01:01:33,170 --> 01:01:34,530
congratulations. Thank you.

899
01:01:34,570 --> 01:01:39,030
I made a further motion that should be have to come back that the fee be wait.

900
01:01:39,510 --> 01:01:40,810
Okay, do I hear a second?

901
01:01:41,970 --> 01:01:44,890
If he has to come back, we'll wait for the fee.

902
01:01:45,790 --> 01:01:47,830
So, a motion made in second, all those in favour?

903
01:01:47,830 --> 01:01:52,510
signify by saying aye, the Chair votes aye, motion passes, five nothing.

904
01:01:53,270 --> 01:01:54,010
Appreciate it.

905
01:01:54,310 --> 01:01:55,070
Have a good night's aye.

906
01:01:55,190 --> 01:01:55,770
It needs to be this.

907
01:01:57,050 --> 01:01:57,070
Okay.

908
01:01:57,590 --> 01:01:59,170
Case number three, five, five,

909
01:01:59,390 --> 01:02:03,890
Disuse a five-dot mystery, a variance of Section 440 Attachment 3,

910
01:02:04,170 --> 01:02:06,830
and a special permit from Section 440-503,

911
01:02:07,490 --> 01:02:09,350
the zone ordinance will allow the extension.

912
01:02:09,790 --> 01:02:12,330
We're pre-existing on conformant structure by allowing

913
01:02:13,510 --> 01:02:19,750
820 square foot one story edition with a walk-out dog hose having a 4.7 size

914
01:02:19,750 --> 01:02:22,230
I'd set back instead of 15.

915
01:02:27,210 --> 01:02:28,830
Raise your hand sir.

916
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:32,880
My right hand.

917
01:02:36,890 --> 01:02:40,210
It's where the testimony of the truth, all truth, all truth, all truth, all truth, all

918
01:02:40,210 --> 01:02:41,050
how can you guide?

919
01:02:42,030 --> 01:02:43,070
Name an address for the rocket.

920
01:02:43,910 --> 01:02:44,230
Thank you.

921
01:02:44,970 --> 01:02:45,430
Thank you.

922
01:02:47,610 --> 01:02:48,170
Thank you.

923
01:02:55,350 --> 01:02:57,870
I'm here as the engineer from North County Group.

924
01:02:57,870 --> 01:03:00,270
I do not own the house.

925
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:12,060
All right.

926
01:03:14,140 --> 01:03:24,700
So back in 2018, we originally submitted the plan to this board, and we received an approval

927
01:03:24,700 --> 01:03:31,140
for the expansion of the house, and at that time was presented to the board that my

928
01:03:31,140 --> 01:03:35,460
client is looking to do a master suite on the back side of the house.

929
01:03:37,260 --> 01:03:45,120
Unfortunately, my client, the funds ended up being a little tight and I never got constructed.

930
01:03:46,060 --> 01:03:52,060
So we're looking to come back in front of the board to reactivate the previous approval

931
01:03:52,060 --> 01:03:59,040
and we're going to look to add the master room on the backside of the house.

932
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:06,340
The light's only 66 feet wide when it was created, it's got almost 9900 square feet,

933
01:04:06,380 --> 01:04:11,000
it's one of the old-time original lights for the downtown area.

934
01:04:12,500 --> 01:04:29,020
Everything else is stained as there's a two-car garage on the backside, there's a

935
01:04:29,020 --> 01:04:38,960
The House currently sits at a four point at a seven feet off of the north, west-leave

936
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:44,160
whole property line and the expansion of the House and again any closer to that.

937
01:04:44,860 --> 01:04:50,540
The bulkhead, which is basically almost in the middle of the House right here, is getting

938
01:04:50,540 --> 01:04:57,700
located to the back of the House over on the northwest corner of the House.

939
01:04:58,740 --> 01:05:03,060
So, if the board has any questions, I'd be more than happy to answer.

940
01:05:04,740 --> 01:05:07,080
Mr. Darden, do you have a question about the application?

941
01:05:08,660 --> 01:05:09,260
No.

942
01:05:12,260 --> 01:05:20,880
So, there's a current permit right now for the enclosure of the, what used to be the real

943
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:25,760
who watch, because that's getting converted over to a kitchen space.

944
01:05:26,060 --> 01:05:30,380
So there is an act of a building permit for that, and no experiences of where we're

945
01:05:30,380 --> 01:05:31,660
required for that.

946
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:34,360
Mr. Tarrer, any questions?

947
01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:39,200
Mr. Tarrer, any questions Mr. Joyce?

948
01:05:39,660 --> 01:05:41,640
This is a three family structure, correct?

949
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:42,020
The existing?

950
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:43,840
No, only two.

951
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:51,360
It looks like a three family, because originally what happened is they used to rent out the

952
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:57,560
on the second floor, and the third floor was the bedrooms for the second floor.

953
01:05:58,180 --> 01:06:01,360
So it's listed as two, and it's still a two-family.

954
01:06:06,820 --> 01:06:10,200
Thank you Mr. Joyce, Mr. Aquaman. Any questions, comments?

955
01:06:11,980 --> 01:06:12,500
Mr. Correra?

956
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:14,460
Okay.

957
01:06:15,380 --> 01:06:16,060
Mr. Correra.

958
01:06:17,940 --> 01:06:18,240
Mr. Correra.

959
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:19,440
Mr. Correra.

960
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:22,100
Mr. Correra.

961
01:06:22,100 --> 01:06:22,120
Mr. Correra.

962
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:22,580
Mr. Correra.

963
01:06:22,660 --> 01:06:23,320
Mr. Correra.

964
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:28,600
as a fitness for Human Habitations State Senator Quote Chapter 2 from the city planner.

965
01:06:29,220 --> 01:06:36,420
They have no comments on the submitter requests from the NGNair, you know what Jackson is.

966
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:42,400
From the Water Department, the City Water Services is just in building and what is for

967
01:06:42,400 --> 01:06:43,780
comments from the conservation.

968
01:06:44,260 --> 01:06:46,360
There are no conservation uses regarding requests.

969
01:06:47,020 --> 01:06:55,360
And from the DPW, no objection, and then the fire, if I can get it.

970
01:06:56,180 --> 01:06:56,700
No comment.

971
01:06:58,520 --> 01:06:59,620
Thank you, Madam Secretary.

972
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,320
Is anyone here who would like to speak in favor?

973
01:07:04,280 --> 01:07:06,340
Anyone who would like to speak in opposition?

974
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:08,300
Okay, here are none.

975
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,320
Motion was made to approve this presenter, need a second.

976
01:07:19,940 --> 01:07:24,600
Okay, motion made and seconded on the motion, Mr. Dardi.

977
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:40,260
It's a barrier. Chair votes. Yes. Mr. Joyce? No. Mr. Aquaman. Yes. Motion passes for one-to-one, it's approved. All right. Thank you. Congratulations.

978
01:07:43,290 --> 01:07:45,750
If there's no other business, motion.

979
01:07:48,110 --> 01:07:49,770
Motion to adjourn.

980
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:55,280
All those in favour?

981
01:07:58,560 --> 01:08:00,840
We're adjourned. Thank you, everybody. Have a good night.
