no I'm fine thanks uh is this uh are you going to have an office above essentially yes good idea I mean yeah well my wife works remote from home we don't have an office or office I'm sure there's a way that we could do it inside of the home somehow some way we have plenty of basement but just as we're doing the addition we just thought that we could do it in a manner that's appropriate for the house and have that kind of bonus space private for an office I I have to State for the records uh the number one under the variance request whoever came up with an idea that you had to have a building 20 ft away from well I don't know and I I you know asked the Building Commissioner and I asked the fire inspector if there was a fire code or some reason why we do that because I've tracked this backwards in time to numerous codes and they're saying there is not so I don't know if we were doing it with detached garages that maybe weren't drywalled and then there wouldn't be as much of a Firestop capacity if it wasn't finished on the inside I'm not sure if it was Aesthetics I I just don't know why yeah it didn't make any sense to me and it still doesn't but you run into that stuff yeah um I just had one question I can't remember uh has this gone through you HOA yet yes yes yes and we have the letter of approval as well for okay that must have missed up okay do we have that um let's see we should have it I didn't see it um we have a neighbor in support of it Y and I don't I don't think that we do have the HOA ler so you could make

that a condition yeah okay yeah I yeah Pete mcgrogan is the president I talked with Pete okay and very good uh but yeah we would still want it as a matter of record matter record yeah so we'll make that that will be a condition if this is approved that would be a condition that you get that to planning departmentment I could have sworn but it's okay we'll get another one yeah uh any questions no no no questions I I could just add to this that Mr Taylor applied for this um series of variances last fall and at that point in time we could not have per permitted the office use as an additional use in the garage building but with adoption of the new code we sort of expanded the number of accessory uses that could be permitted and we said well okay if you can hold off let's wait because that will be one sort of the biggest item of all would be that use and we can't really Grant a use variant so it would only behoove him to have waited and so we've at least crossed that bridge and said okay so the office use is permitted and so then that gets us down to just these dimensional standards a thanks councilwoman any questions from you or no no all right if you want to just have a seat um we're going to just get into the regular meeting then and then we'll call you back up okay great thanks thank you um with that we'll kind of end the regular or the work session and roll into the regular meeting uh do we have anyone here for public participation seeing none we'll we roll in here back right up sorry sir back right back up here to your variance this is ridiculous standards they make me set for people listening to us right we are being recorded this is Live on YouTube
