24-58 3 uh good evening uh Michael Giuliano with Eaglebrook engineering uh I have been retained by Mr uh uh Gan G Gregorio to um prepare a plan which the board does have of a
parking layout so over the past month we went out there located the buildings and there walls out there to um place them on a map and laid out um parking spaces um that would uh fit the existing location of the walls and
buildings um also on that plan is a table that shows um parking schedule both um what's required by zoning and what we have um proposed on this plan all right we have three structures on
the building the um existing um what I call fitness facility which is just under 3,000 square ft then an existing residential building which has three units and then there's an existing um garage which is actually um storage for
an HVAC contractor so there's no office in there but it's uh basically um um uh duck vents uh materials that they would use for HVAC and that's the um what I call the existing garage so based on
those Square footages in uses I came up with a schedule which shows what's required by zoning which is a total of 13 spaces and then on our plan uh we have a total of six 16 spaces um with dimensions on the plan to show that we um at least exceed the
requirements of uh parking for zoning okay thank you um Jeff any questions uh I have no questions Madam chairman Ken um I reviewed the plan I have no questions Ken no questions I I also do not have any
questions um Brian we don't have anyone online with any questions do we okay Jeff uh I will Vote for This Ken I will vote for this and I'll vote for this too and I I will vote for this also
I just um want to confirm that uh once we we ruled tonight that um the applicant is going to stripe um the parking spaces so that especially the people using the gym know exactly where the parking spaces are so
would he would he take that as a condition yes yes okay soon as weather okay all right thank you all right to uh Madam chair I uh mve that we issue a finding under table one
of the Danver zoning bylaw to expand an existing non-conforming use as a personal training facility into the remainder of the building where currently only half of the building is allowed to operate as a gym and that that the proposed extension alteration is not substantially more detrimental
than the existing structure to the neighborhood I will second that all in favor I any opposed so it passes Good Luck Good Luck thank you thank you thanks for getting that new plan together yes thank
you ready yes our last case is for Dartmouth Street this is zoned R3 request for a variance to construct a a garage Edition that will be located closer to the front property line than permitted as a right uh the request is
made by Alexandria and Steven DJI docket 25-50 93 um my name is Alexandria djy ali um so we are just looking to add had a garage which part of it would also be a handicap accessible bathroom um my
husband was diagnosed with ALS and we just simply need a way to be able to get him in and out of the house safely regardless of we um that's why the garage can't be shortened at all to make up for that couple feet um because we need to be able to move around the car
um and the gar and the bathroom in part of that garage is would just be a handicapped accessible space okay okay um Ken any questions um so what is the um when you
build a garage what is the set pack going to be from the front to the street um I believe it's 2T 11 in I mean two yeah 2T 11 in I believe it's just under 3T and one and a half on the other side oh to the to the street it looks much further away from the street hold
so it's supposed to be 30 F feet the front set back is 30t they're going in um and so they're they're going to be 27t one inch from the okay yes confused the same thing they're
encroaching two feet they're encroaching a 211 but but what they're asking for is a front setback of of 27 yes 271 instead of 30 yep yes okay I have no other questions thank you Ken I don't
have any questions thank you I have no questions um I also do not have any questions do we have anyone with any comments um online nobody's online okay okay Ken um I'll Vote for This Ken yeah I
have no problem with this it's very minimal yeah the encroachment is very minimal I will vote for this and and I will vote for this as well um could I have a motion uh Madam chair uh I move that we re Grant a variance to construct a
garage Edition that will be located closer to the front property line than permitted as of right uh the variance is uh 27.1 from the front property line where 30 ft is required and that adjacent properties
would not be adversely impacted the reduced Dimensions would not be detrimental to the public good and would not substantially deviate from the intent or purpose of the bylaw second all in favor I any opposed no good luck
passes good luck we have any other business I don't think so think we do not at the moment I move that we adjourn I'll second all in favor I good night dver good night ders good night is that a
