there. Very small but 200 square feet, give or take. The applicant is looking to slightly and modestly increased by naturally breaking into the room next door, which is currently a garage mate for a second small modest room for the leasing office space for the applicant to facilitate the daily needs of the residents. - Mr. John Buchholz was sworn in by Mr. McPherson and was accepted as a licensed architect by Chairman Bagoff. Eagle Rock Apartments is looking to take these are older multi-family units. Mr. Buchholz showed plans of taking an adjacent garage that you can see to the left of this existing and when our plant is to take the garage door out, provide a masonry block with brick to match the rest of the garages and put two windows in there that will be windows that can ventilate. They will be matching the windows on the building so they will be double hung. Windows will do infilling of brick. Put it put in there so it looks like it was part of the building since day one and probably one of the biggest improvements for the people that will be using this space. It will have anew ADA bathroom. So that when the management is using the space, it will better serve the people that are on working with the tenants that are in this space. So one of the one of the things that we're being told by management is that COVID has changed things. -Mr. Buchholz explained that the reason appearing before the Board is slight and only one reason. The site is currently under parked under the code, so the code requires. 338 spaces. There's 271 today and the applicant is proposing one more to be removed, so technically they are in a variance position going down to a proposed 270. The space looking to utilize is currently a garage bay for a vehicle which hasn't been utilized for a vehicle in many years. In fact, there are about a dozen garage spaces available that residents declined to take for purposes of cost because it's an added cost for enclosed garage space. In their opinion it is better suited as a leasing office space for limited staff as opposed to just sitting dormant.
