10
00:08:58.640 --> 00:09:13.120
hearing, I would ask if there's any proponents, anyone in favor. Seeing and hearing, if you'd like to get up and speak, you just have to. Okay. So, seeing and hearing, then I'll close that side of the hearing. Are

11
00:09:13.120 --> 00:09:33.680
there anyone opposed? Opposed, please step up to the microphone, state your name and address for the record. So, if you can just move aside if and it's on already, so if you just state your name and address for the record, please. >> Sure. Anthony Serminara from 324

12
00:09:33.680 --> 00:09:52.320
American Legion Highway. >> Okay. >> Butter um to Letty Blanco. and I oppose the applicant's request to close our second floor porch. Um, our main concern is that we're concerned this addition will not be limited to storage only, but for additional living space and our

13
00:09:52.320 --> 00:10:08.240
primary concern is that the parking is already crowded on that street as it is. We're just afraid that this is going to pose a uh basically a hazard backing out of the driveway and we've already had some documented experience with uh Mrs. Blanco disregarding some established

14
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:25.040
rules. We are currently handling a private boundary dispute with her due to encroachment onto our property. Our property has been formally surveyed and remarked twice be uh due to repeated inter uh interference with the boundary markers. Um we also believe there may be some additional construction going on

15
00:10:25.040 --> 00:10:41.440
now and we have some questions and concerns about that. Okay, just to make this clear, this if this is voted on to enclose this porch, it would be nonhabitable, meaning that it could only be used for storage. It

16
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:56.959
couldn't be used as a living area. >> Okay, >> that would be a stipulation stipulation. I guess our concern is that the I guess the distance from uh a storage area to living space

17
00:10:56.959 --> 00:11:14.160
um you know if it's not being monitored there's a possibility that could that it could be converted um to living space. I guess that's that would be our main concern. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Thank you. >> Are there any other opponents?

18
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:39.000
Seeing here none I'll close that side of the hearing. Any members wish to speak? >> Hi. You want to come up? >> You do understand that it's only for storage that it can't be living space.

19
00:11:42.079 --> 00:12:04.640
Yes, she understands that. Okay. What's so wish of the members? There's a motion to approve. >> We would ask for a roll call and with the condition that it's a non-habitable space >> in an standard condition.

20
00:12:04.640 --> 00:12:26.880
>> Can she make a comment or not? She would like to say something >> if you she has to say something to it now. Yes. Okay. She just wants to make clear that between her and the neighbor next to her, there's a driveway. There's nothing that she would do in the porch that is

21
00:12:26.880 --> 00:12:46.800
going to affect the other family because that's not what she's looking for. >> No, I we understand that just based on the plan. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Okay. It is a motion to approve. >> You'd have to ask for a roll call with our conditions.

22
00:12:46.800 --> 00:13:02.800
>> If approved, the conditions would be as follows. If the rights authorized by this variance are not exercised within one year of the date of the grant to this variance, the right shall lapse. This variance shall not be valid until the appellent has recorded this variance and plan in the SEPA county registry of deeds and submits document recording
