7:30 pm
i refuse this misrepresentation. there are copies of my registration of incomes. there have been no profit in five years. my real estate license is active. i frequently call my sister on the east coast. i am not transacting calls on the east coast for business. i thank you for your audience. >> you talked about efforts made to mitigate. is there a time you would agree to leave short of the seven months? >> i do not know how well this has been characterized, but this is a two-stage process. there is the work that we believe can be done, and it is done frequently with tenants in
7:31 pm
the building. it is the work where there might be a time worse than others. >> i am trying to get out what that might be. >> part of it is we do not know what the schedule is. >> yes, i would be willing if the relocation payment were adequate to get out of it to make it easier. we doesn't do not want to be hanging out for a year or year and a half. >> anything else? thank you. >> you have three minutes of about rebuttal. >> i am going to have the general contractor to respond to these. >> good evening. i am edward mullins. i have been a licensed contractor id sandford cisco since 1989.
7:32 pm
i have been familiar with these types of projects. i understand there are plenty of projects that have happened, and nobody has gotten hurt. that does not mean something is not going to happen. i have to look at taking care of the building's first, and i have to be concerned with and trained professionals coming into the property and have to worry about them -- concerned with untrained professionals coming into the property. in terms of supporting the property, i did not know if this statement has been brought up yet, but paris this is a house mover who said in order to do this properly he has to have laws in the middle of each property.
7:33 pm
they need to be in the middle of each property to the rules. good all of the wall finishes need to be removed. the family is very meticulous. they are very courteous the main thing about david is that he is always concerned about the next earthquake. it goes to say it is going to stand the test of time. all of these are going to be good for nothing if this building is insecure. i have been involved for 20 years. he finally found one who came up with the design he is head over
7:34 pm
heels for. it is easy to say it only needs to be done in the first floor, but he is taking it to the roof. this is a special properties, and he wants to keep it on track. we will have to shove the toilet is down. i am absent that is a health code. if you look at the pictures you can see the pipes are rusted and cicadas. in building a movement -- they took off a few finishes, and the pipes in the walls are severely decade, which means it is not just those exposed in the garage. is it is those -- it is those in the building. >> you can have another 30
7:35 pm
seconds. i gave the other side another 30 seconds. >> i just wanted to bring oup -- the other thing is it is very simple to say we can -- to say we can stay there. the building is going to be open to all the elements. i do not even know when we are going to start -- december, january? the building is going to be open. the heat is going to be cut off. this is going to add time and a lot of money. i would be worried about setting a schedule, working late and making sure they are back on. that is a little unreasonable. >> i just have one question.
7:36 pm
would you be in charge of scheduling the construction compan? >> i would think so. yes, we do have a timeline we are supposed to meet, and the longer this goes on it is going to be difficult. >> so you can accommodate various elements. >> every project is different. this is a lot different than dealing with a single family. >> can you talk about the timeline, setting aside the loans. just the work. it's the building was vacant, how long the you anticipate a were common -- do you
7:37 pm
anticipated the work? >> there is a dearth the house to be excavated. -- dirt that has to be excavated. this is an intense job. goit is not a walk in the park. >> this include the excavation of 700 yards? >> yes. a lot of it is sitting in the dirt. the garage is a bonus to the project. we have to open everything up to do the foundation correctly. as i mentioned before, he is extremely confident about the design, and that is what he wants to stick with.
7:38 pm
>> you said nine or 12 months. you also mentioned a all the wall coverings off, and things that seem may be cosmetic. i understand he would need some of the plumbing and electrical, but what if you did not need to do that? >> we would be tied into services together with -- tying two surfaces together. >> by the time you have existing finishes, you have to take those into consideration, that you would be disturbing us hester's while you are trying to put the new finishes in anti
7:39 pm
those together. -- anti those together. the best thing would be if everyone can do their job. >> i understand that. from the general contractor perspective, that makes sense, but there are tenants on fixed incomes for whom it is not so easy to go someplace else. i am trying to see if there is some way they can stay. >> anyone can stay. it might take 50% longer. >> thank you. >> it raises another question i would have for the owner.
7:40 pm
i understand these three tenants have had what some would consider to be a terrific deal. is the street right there? >> yes. >> they live in a beautiful area. they probably have views. they are getting a good deal. let's make the assumption they actually to have financial problems ascribed. somebody talked about equity, and it has been stated it would be far more expensive, take longer, and i do not know anyone would consider a reasonable compromise, but if we were to double the allowance offered
7:41 pm
nine iron who rent board. it allows for three months, and doubling it will only allow six months. goowould that be something to consider bowman -- something to consider bow? >> given that answer, the other members would agree, but how quickly can you get in touch with them? >> i do not think we have jurisdiction.
7:42 pm
>> i am not opposed. when i am done, if you are to take them somewhere else, i would welcome them. the delay is going to cost money. we might offer it as a compromise. >> you understand it is between the parties. goowaxman we tried to -- >> we y to make it as convenient as possible. we did not want to postpone this
7:43 pm
hearing to 2 our time line, so i cannot get a hold of them now. >> assuming someone else would be willing to have a continuance. we do not meet again until the 26 of october. >> that is where i have to leave it i suppose. >> thank you. crux of the parties reach an agreement, the matter could be withdrawn. is there any more from the department moment -- from the department? >> just looking at the plants, i am not sure how much work is in place in the units.
7:44 pm
if you look at it, someone needs to clarify how much work has taken place inside the dwelling units. i see some details, but there does not seem to bee -- part of this is having to move people out of the unit, but how much work has taken place in the actual dwelling units beaumon? i think the majority of work is on the ground floor, but i cannot say how much work has taken place inside the units. >> we heard them talk about removing all the wall covering. >> we would need to get clarification of your johan -- clarification.
7:45 pm
that is just something i thought i would mention to you as well. >> thank you. >> it is up to our president. >> excuse me. >> we were able to contact my parents by phone, and they were able to agree to donuble relocating costs. >> that was a question by one member. we are not trying to mediate the issue other than to suggest you talk to each other. >> we are welcome to suggestions. all we want to do is move forward. >> i will have to talk about it. we were talking about something
7:46 pm
not as long. we were talking about a six- month limit. we were hoping for something shorter than that, and our willingness to live with the obstruction and norway'noise thn happen until it is moved, but i would have to talk with sadda--. >> would you be open to a continuance? >> i think we will be open for a continuance. >> you would not wait until the next case? >> we karen. -- can. no problem talking to my clients during the next case.
7:47 pm
7:48 pm
august 18, of a permit to alter the building, and remodel, and i addition, a three-story addition commo, basement additi, reconfigure basement and sparta. i see both parties. who would like to speak first? >> i will speak first. >> did you work that out? >> he gave me the green light. if i have helped him with this, and we reached a settlement agreement in the hallway, and on that basis, we have requested the appellant withdraw, and i am
7:49 pm
now going to let the appellants representatives confirmed he represents the appellant and we have reached an agreement. >> i am representing the appellant in this case, and we came to an agreement, and we would like to withdraw, and thank you for your patience. >> would you like your agreement on a record? >> yes. goohere it is. basically, our our will paraphrase it. it is that now our project sponsors will conduct the boundary survey.
7:50 pm
the boundary line will be marked in plain view of thosboth parti. the project sponsor will use of us engineering practices. also naming the appellant as additional ensured. the private sponsor will pay 50% of the cost. there will be flash to fill any gaps between the buildings. the prostate sponsor will pay
7:51 pm
for creating a boundary fence on the western property line. they will allow reasonable access to the property to make needed repairs and maintenance. there are other terms that are not performing, but we reach. the agreement is on a computer screen. these are most of them, but there are more of them during good -- more of them. >> we have dealt with that.
7:52 pm
>> in other words, we have made physical changes to the properties. >> since we have heard from the parties, i think we should see if there is any public comment. i see no public comment. the matter has been withdrawn, so there is no need for action on your part. >> congratulations to the project sponsor. i hope you raise a lovely family. >> we moved back to item 10. maybe you can go and see if the parties can come back in the room. >> why don't we take a five minute great. >> ok, five minute break.
7:57 pm
7:58 pm
they could move into any of the three units available after six months, and then move into their own unit, if they do not get anything done. they only have to get three units done, but i think they have a problem with the time limit. >> we spoke briefly in the hallway. we definitely could agree to more money to alleviate the problems, the financial concerns. it is difficult, especially in this short a time, to commit to a six-month time to get the work done. i am not a contractor, but i am sure the contractors here would agree that is too short a time. there are too many variables to commit to a time like that. but we are certainly willing to negotiate and work with addressing financial problems with temporary relocation. we would prefer to start right
7:59 pm
away. we will continue to negotiate with the tenant. before we can even serve a notice, we have to file for our petition. we anticipate the work will take longer than three months. then we have to give a 60-day notice. depending on what mr. collier and his clients want to do, which could end up with three jury trials. negotiation is important to us. i am sorry that got misunderstood early on. we are perfectly willing to negotiate. vice president garcia: as our director explained, if we were to continue this, at any time between now and the date we continued it to, you could simply call and withdraw the appeal. if that would accommodate both sides, that might be the best sides, that might be the best tack to take.
