changed up the site plan to account for rear loading okay yeah I noticed the garages are in the in the rear now and and yeah with the access from the front but the garages are in the rear it's not front entry yeah um Commissioners any questions for the applicant yeah white no I would just like to compliment the gentleman then on um working with staff to relocate um the garages in particular cuz

compliment the applicant and thank him for working with staff it's a working together to get this accomplished like we did is a model for how this process should work and I thank you for that yes I Echo those thoughts uh we need more infill we need more affordable housing and sometimes they don't necessarily uh come easy you know there are challenges in doing infill development and affordable housing when you combine the two that even makes it doubly challenging um I notic where you actually have to raise it four feet from the uh uh the curb level also so you have a lot of work ahead of
