or the permit holders, so that they can supplement their submital. >> any other comments? >> i am going to move that grantee appeal and approve the permit on the conditions and the revised drawings that have been presented. thank you. >> could you call the roll on that please? >> we have a motion from commissioner fung? to up hold this permit with the conditions and revised plans. and the letters dated 7-8 and the plans are dated 7-3. and on that motion, to up hold the permit with these revised

plans, president hwang? >> aye. >> commissioner hurtado? >> aye. >> vice president lazarus? >> aye. >> and commissioner honda. >> aye. >> the vote is 5-0 and the permit is up hold with these revised plans and conditions, thank you. >> thank you. so we can go back then to item 4 a a jurisdiction request, 865 market street, the board received a letter from mary murphy asking that the board take jurisdiction over the mobile food facility permit november 11 fmm-0061 which was issued on july 17, 2012, the 15-day appeal period expired on august 1, 2012 and the jurisdiction request was filed with the board's office on may 13, 2013, permit holder is kettle corn star, the project is the sale of kettle corn of funnel cakes and waffles and

lemonade. >> we can start with the requestor. >> good afternoon, mary murphy and the county of the appellant, we are here today to respectfully request that this commission accept jurisdiction over the appeal of the renewal and by dpw to kettle corn star the respond ant. as set forth in the papers before you, they did not receive notice of the intent to issue the permit and only became aware of the permit after kettle corn commenced operations, the request was rejected who asked to put it to this board. when they filed an appeal it was also rejected. we are now before you requesting that you accept jurisdiction because we believe that this matter meets the standards established by section 10 of your board rules

that the board may accept jurisdiction in the cases where the board finds that the city intentionally caused the requestor in being late in filing an appeal. the distribution lists demonstrates that the city failed to provide the requisite notice. and in making this request, we understand that this is a difficult situation, both west field and kettle corn have been diligent and have acted in good faith. for the reasons that we do not understand, west field did not receive notice of the permit application, this apparent error is at odds with the experience with the mobile food program because west field has received timely notices of other similar applications to dpw, as a consequence of this error, west field was denied due process, it consists of notice and an opportunity to it be heard and west field has been denied both. and notwithstanding that both parties have been diligent and

as between the two, they have received the benefit of this and have been able to obtain the permit and to operate as it was unable to raise the concerns about the permit. kettle corn notes that some of the tenants did receive notice and that observation under scores the reasons for this request, the tenants would expect the landlord to undertake to protect the request and the investment in the neighborhood, the food program intended to revitalize the neighborhoods, however the area in front of the center is already extremely busy and vital not because of the hundreds of millions of dollars that they invested to build the center but because of the tenants that pay rent there and invest as a result. >> we submit that the situation meets your standards for accepting review and we hope that you will do so. thank you for your time and attention to this matter. >> miss murphy, i have a question, when did west field

become aware of operations? >> i believe, i have not yet... from west field nicole is with me here today and i believe that it was after you noticed that they were there operating before or in front of the entrance to the west field center, do you want to speak to that issue. >> nicole with west field. we noticed when they first opened for business. >> when was that? >> i am looking for a date. >> that is the most exact date that you can give me? >> 2012 was last summer. >> is there a reason why there was not an appeal filed before now? >> and we or our office contacted dpw and we were told that the permit would be subject to renewal and the way that they do is has a new permit number and so we had the communication with the dpw advance of the renewal of the permit and then we were under the impression that we were supposed to wait for the

approval. so that when the renewal was issued in a timely fashion filed the appeal of the renewal of the permit. but dpw said that the renewal was properly appealable to them and only heard the appeals of the initial grant and so they instructed us to the appeal of this board, when we filed it was rejected as not this being in your subject matter jurisdiction and it is a bit of a frustrating prospect as you can imagine and we are very aware of the fact that kettle corn has tried to play by the rules as well. everyone has pursued avenue and kettle corn about everything that they can, and this was not an error for west field or kettle corn, for some reason west field was not on the list and did not receive this notice, but the point of this story is that west field has

never been afforded an opportunity to be heard on this matter, neither on the original permit and sent around in a circle with respect to the renewal of the permit. >> and this is my last question, is, or you mentioned that you have gotten notice about the other permits in the past. >> yes. and i guess what i am trying to get at is why you would be noticed as west field given that you are not a restaurant or a similar establishment as kettle corn? maybe that is the reason? but you said that you have gotten notices? the past. >> yes. >> the promissions are the 300 foot radius that you are familiar with and it is curious because the map of the 300 foot radius was from the wrong location and actually notwithstanding that, we actually would still be within 300 foot radius and the businesses are to be noticed whether they are a direct come pet or or not. and there were other tenants

noticed i think as kettle corn has correctly noted in the papers and again we are completely conscious of the fact that this was not their fault they tried to do it by the book and it was a strange circumstance that we would get in the other situations through the people using some sort of radius map service, but not in this instance. >> but if other people were noticed and other businesses presumably within west field, what is the harm to west field, then? if those businesses have the opportunity to appeal or raise the concerns? >> west field is the landlord of a very major enterprise and i would believe that most are managed by someone who is just there working at the facility and would not necessarily think it was appropriate for them to be dealing with any sort of official notice from the city. i think that most people would expect that is something that the landlord would attend to if there is an official notice.

i have not interviewed all of the tenants and i cannot speak to that, i would imagine that would be the case most people are busy running their businesses and west field's interests in protecting their interest in protecting their tenants who are there. and they are people who have been, you know, making an investment and paying rent and you know, have invested in their businesses at that location. and west field has invested in that location by building that center there and as a consequence, i think that is why the rules were set up to afford the business owners and the tenants in those businesses, the opportunity to be heard of. and the point of this story is that opportunity was not afforded to the landlord and it is a million foot enterprise, and it has another half a million feet at the nordstrom's side of it which it operates as part of the center under the school district and you know it
