3. The site is located near the edge of a residential neighborhood, as opposed to being located inside
the neighborhood.
4. The site has convenient ingress and egress to South 25`h Street, a north -south collector street and
to Washington Street/ Kentucky Avenue, a major arterial.
5. There will be sufficient area for off-street parking in the proposed driveways.
6. The homes will not be placed on a short-term rental platform year-round, as the primary objective
of the Petitioner is to have longer-term renters in each house.

of the Petitioner was to have longer-term renters but would like to consider short-term rentals to fill in the
gaps. The Petitioner was present but chose not to speak. She stated Mr. Sommer's description of the
