had issued citations on what it would take to legalize that sword unit. third unit. what s that application got to city planning, city planning said, the zoning will not permit a third unit. that was rh2 at the time. it would have required a variants going back into the 1950 s to legalize the second unit. in order for city planning to have acted to include a second unit, it would have taken an action of the a master at the time and it would have taken an application to planning that did that. the record shows there was never an application that showed an actual change of this building for one to two. someone did overtime by gaining gaming record. reading history, you see the thumbprint of this property owner and the contractor watching how he did what he did at the time. it is an interesting forensic expiration. thank you. mr. duffy. commissioners, when i read this, i thought it was a little unusual. i started reading it. i need to see this building. if you can read all you want. when you go to a building you can see what happened. i did go to the house. mr. paul was enough to give me access. i think the building department put them through the verification true microform and records. that created the building permit. mr. sweeney was dealing with it. when you look at it you do not know what it was. the owner, if you want to say gaming the system or whatever. even the permits to put the door in, he said it was a two unit building. why do you put a door in if you have a unit? the door on the left side of the property, what i thought was interesting was what i was there, the door on the left side, that is where the window was. if you look at the property next door, it has a door and window beside it and it is around the same time they put the door on the left side and bill a wall across were you would have come in on the main entrance which was the right side. you would have turned left and went up the stairs. now there is a wall there. i took some photographs today. i am sorry to link than this. i am agreeing with mr. paul. i went to show you where i was coming from. this is a joint on a baseboard in the middle of the hallway. you would never see a joint in a piece of baseboards so there was a wall put in. my conclusion is i think it was a single family and over the years, this owner got permits and came into the building department, i am not sure how to get issued. he would start off with one and then he went to two. no one said wait a minute. i am ok and i spoke to mr. sweeney before it came to the meeting. based on my site visit. we re ok with the single-family dwelling. however you want to use it to regarding the disapproved permit. all that remains is whether he will rest his case. he just rests his case or whether he needs to add anything. i will ask for public comment. seeing none, director case or do you have more to add? i have nothing more to add. thank you. you used to retire earlier on public testimony. for case to do knew nothing about. anything more from the department? no. commissioners, the matter is yours. a move that we grant the appeal i move we get the appeal and allow this to be properly reconsidered as a one- unit building. based upon evidence from several sources presented by mr. paul and a concession on the part of dbi that in all probability was always meant to be a one-unit building. it was originally a one-unit building. thank you. i failed to add there is a permit to merge the units. if the board does take this action and overturns the denial of this permit, that permit, the scope will change to removal of the illegal unit. it will not be subject to the merger requirement and will continue to be processed. the permit would be issued and the could obtain a cfc. that make sense. thank you. i believe we have a motion from president garcia to grant this appeal. overruled the denial, and issue the permits. i believe you said it was on the basis the building was originally a single-family dwelling. that is correct. with evidence to that fact. and a concession by dbi. the building was originally a single-family dwelling as evidenced by documents presented by the appellant and concession by dbi. with that basis, commissioner fung, aye. vice-president hwang, aye.
