tempest dry from a residential single family 5 that is rs 5 zoning district to a planned development for Imus. Card the unified development code garage conversions are only allowed 4 dwelling skins

Trump did prior to JANUARY 31st 1980 for real I did that the site has drive a space to accommodate the same number of the goals as the garage. This home was built in 1985 and therefore does not

qualify for that exception. Hence the applicant is seeking a approval for a planned development to allow the garage the question in their home which has been already completed without the benefit of

apartment. On SEPTEMBER 1620 26 the planning and zoning Commission recommended up cool off the request with the stipulation that the exterior door be removed from the front elevation of the garage

that again has agreed to remove the exterior door. If Council approves this request, the owner will apply for a building part it and after it is approved called for inspection by city staff, the owner

and applicant is Cindy Dean mccoy and she's here to present your case MISTER Mccoy. Come on up here to the podium please. I'm simply the mccoy I live in Arlington Texas. And I just have a letter are

we why do what it did not want MISTER Limmer. 1987 my husband was on his way work when another driver came into his lane and caused a head-on collision after 5 years. 11 surgeries and a relocation my

husband could walk it can but was unstable. When taking a shower he has to sit down. We put a dent in the shower but it was cumbersome it was difficult for him to come in and out, and they fear put

the imagine a bafta that's stepping over to back to wall was dangerous for him. In fact since the accident he has fallen in dancer him which resulted in a broken hip. He kneels in front of the on the

floor in front of backed up to wash his hair. It uses a watch called in a bucket of water to substitute is a shower. When my husband's parents passed away in aired some money. I gave a parking garage

and use the funds to build him a fully and kept answering. With the bands are bedroom on the side we not I lost a garage, I gave up my car and he gave up his and he was staying passed down for his

grandfather and that does but just 2 vehicles so we do not have to park in street. For the first time in years my husband has the luxury of taking a shower. Has anyone else be back which was another

result of the accident the Bagley sometimes and being able to take a shower. It's much better than a washcloth in a pack of water. The thought of having this ability taken away from him is

heartbreaking. Is to build or did not pulled the proper permits for the work he did for himself frustrated that we cannot depend on people to do their job correctly. No I haven't Foundation. If the

permits have been called I would have been aware of that restrictions of the garage conversion. I would like to play for a hardship special exemption. I'm not able to physically construct a

replacement garage carport or extra driveway space. Our law is very small in doing so would violate city setback regulations. I think at the Villa services have given me and then was yes, but there

are conditions and I will fully abide by them. It's this assumption exceptions granted I would like to request a rec director permit so I can start the process of inspecting the builders work. I

understand and obtaining record for permits can be destructive since this since things that need to be inspected maybe in floors or behind the walls. It upsets me but I understand it must be done.

Thank you so much for your time. Councilmember Gonzales. Yes thank you Thank you for being here. I used to live in that neighborhood size to live off of. Excuse me l Dorado. I'm sorry withdrawal that

and I Polish ice and I'm sorry to your husband for what he's going through. As that letter support and I spoke to Jim see there's a lot of neighbors with that type of. Conversion of a garage. So I

know if if we do I approve this you have to take that down and I definitely do not want that to. So I just want to ask for our staff of that they can start looking at other ones because she's not the

only one and I don't want to start something new or people say oh just come we're going to be and they get approved because I we know how some of these. Construction builders want even pull permit and

that's all over the city so I appreciate coming Hampson we have go through appreciate you thank you council member Garcia Dumas. Yeah I have questioned so if it is not approved then what happens

because the work has already been completed. They have to bring it back to the original condition. The 1984 can you tell me the reasoning behind that guy. I cannot remember. Fully veiled but it's

something related to the building code full up date that happened during that time. So now. It's not just like a yearly update that the cibc irc but this was like a full-blown updates. And then at a

question to the applicant. Thank you so much for for being here is there a reason to the eu didn't convert the existing bathroom into an 80 a bathroom. Yes, I might We have separate bathroom the

shower as the back of a bathroom and the toll is right next to it. So if I was too trying to comfort that shower to the site minimum size. It I would have to take the privacy wall down of the toilet

and a pass that would have to remove that all is well conduct or make it opened up the door. I actually laid it out and couldn't make it work. And so then you move to this option and to your knowledge

everything was ok. To my knowledge she was I didn't know I had no I feel what would happen. Okay. Thank you. Ma'am I'm just gonna say I think it's unfortunate that the building. For the construction

worker that you hired him pull the proper permit. But sometimes we just have to do what's right in this case. I believe what's right is to let you go ahead and get your permitting done thanks and

approve that so I I entertain want to close the public hearings and nobody else unless we haven't the other speakers on no mayor there are no other speakers, I'm getting ahead of myself sorry about

that I'm going to go ahead and close the public hearing. I have a motion from council members and solace and a second from councilmember hog please cast your vote. The motion passes. Thank you ma'am

in Arlington I moved to Texas this year for I know I where I spent years working closely with local communities in the Chicagoland area. I specifically chose to plant my roots in Arlington because of

the vibrant family friendly and active neighborhoods that defined the city since moving here in JULY I've spent a lot of time exploring our local community spaces. I want to commend the city. Park

actually live just down the street in district one It is truly a wonderful space that brings neighbors together and elevates the quality of life for everyone living nearby. Recently I was talking to a

neighbor name Ryan won the park right actually lived in the all the part that's that the park place back when he was a teenager he shared with me how incredible has been to see the space transform

into a beautiful Park. But he also noted that the city's original promise master plans for Parker never fully completed due to past budget constraints. Parks are the literal heart of our neighborhood

plans for Park site Kyle Park priority at times in our neighborhood infrastructure keeps Arlington beautiful supports our families and a nurse, a long-term promises made to the residents who had been
