As we understand it,this variance concerns an apartment that was pre-existing when Ms.Giuliani purchased her home. Our home,which we purchased in 2016,is immediately behind hers. At the time of our purchase,the apartment was a pre-existing condition. As we understand the use variances,one of the criteria is the potential impact of granting the variance might have on the neighborhood. As an immediate neighbor, we see no such negative impact,especially given that the apartment was there when we purchased our home. Not granting the variance would be worse as we would have to bear the construction noise of removing it. As is, Rose's property is extremely well kept,which adds value to all of our homes. We would not want to lose her as a neighbor. While we understand that the rules of the City are what they are,we feel that both she and we would be best served by allowing the variance. We fully support her request.
