changes conform to what was presented in notice sent? >> i believe the original permit issued on the 2011 permit complied with the notice that was sent out. that would be my understanding. >> mr. duffy? >> commissioners, on this permit application it's under appeal from the building code point of view and from a building department issuance position. it appears that it meets all the requirements of the building code. it was properly filed and reviewed by our department and isht on october 16, 2013. i have looked at the plans and i didn't see anything on there that was untoward. i did see

the walls, i can see where the skylights are located, that would be a question for the designer. i think that's where you were getting a. if there wasn't a power pit, that would be for the neighbor. if there is a way to do that but i'm not sure that's the case because of the stairs and location of the building. i'm available for any questions. >> what was the code requirement for the fire rated para pit distance wise to glazing? >> i believe we can do it to 3 feet from property line. it's based on the percentage of the length of percentage of openings in the exterior walls. i think they can do this on 3 feet. i'm pretty confident. >> okay. thank you.

>> is there any additional public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. we can take any rebuttal. mr. mariano if you have anything to add. you have 3 minutes. >> i moved into my home in 1989 and up to this time i have not filed any permit to do any work at my home. meaning that i don't know where ms. santos when he explained that my window is facing the east are on the property line. to my understanding, the windows in the front part of the house is at least 3 feet away from the property line. the property

line is oblique, runs narrow as it goes to the rear of the house. that's the only thing i wanted to say. >> thank you. >> mr. santos, anything further? >> commissioners, thank you for the question, commissioner fung. typically when we go back to the building department to get a revised permit we will bring copies of the previously approved permits. when we sit down at the counter we are showing what was previously approved and what the proposed modifications would be. of course there is no such thing as a perfect document. so mine were not clouded. that included everything. the intent was to make the planner aware that we were modifying something that was previously approved. thank you. >> anything further from the

department? no. okay. commissioners, unless you have questions, the matter is submitted. >> i guess you know the there is two issues here. one is that whether the revisions changed enough to have warranted some type of further review and therefore some discussion as to how those revisions could have been incorporated with a little less impact. that's one

issue. the second issue which is different from that is really whether those revisions if they had been in the original packet would have warranted any changes and therefore modification. i don't think that those changes would have warranted any further changes or impact from the departments. the problem for the appellant really is when the intervening lot gets filled in which is going to create further issues for him. this home won't even buy visible -- be vipt -- visible at that point in time and that is not before us yet.

so i'm weighing those things and satisfied with the question that due process occurred in terms of the comparison with what was the 311 notice set and the scope of what was in the permit set. and as the appellant had indicated previously and in his brief, he did not object totally to that although of was obviously a change from what he had been used to. at this point, i think my position would be that these changes probably would not have warranted any further revision if they had been an original set. >> i agree. can i make a motion. i make a motion to deny the appeal on the fact that the department did not

error in their discretion. >> it's a notable standard. if you think it's code compliant. >> yes, i do think it's code compliant but i think we should have some kind of language in there that the permit holder worked with the department to clean up some of the languages with regard to the work that was performed that may or may not be on the permit. is that what you said earlier? >> thank you. scott sanchez, planning department. perhaps directing the project sponsor -- what is your recommendation? >> the discrepancies on the plan are not material to our review, but i think would be more jermaine to building department review and if the building department is satisfied with the revisions

and discrepancy of the location of the skylight and the roof plan and floor plan. i think that would be relevant to the location of the para pit. it would be in a different location if it wasn't matched up and lined up with the stairs. i think in terms of the things that were shown on floorplans and not on site plans. the work there is okay, but the quality of the plans are -- para pet. >> the construction is already there. those para pet walls are up already. >> it would be a good idea to get an accurate set of plans. i can see what mr. sanchez is saying and that's correct. if the skylights would be

shifted to the left, we would need to get an accurate as built of the plan. if you want to put some language there i'm not objected to that. we can show the skylight that are different from this one so we can get it all fixed with one revision for the language it would we all good. >> did you get that, mr. pacheco? >> i think if the board is going to uphold this permit, i think this board needs to decide whether it's going to uphold this permit and let dbi do what it needs to do. >> i think if we create this would be another appeal. >> why don't we uphold the permit on the basis that it's code compliant. >> i can add if the inspector

finds a discrepancy with these plans with the as built condition then we would have a provision to correct it. >> okay. that works. >> on that motion to uphold this permit on the basis that it's code compliant. commissioner fung, aye, the president is absent, commissioner hurtado? aye, lazarus? aye. the vote is 4-0. this permit is upheld on that basis. >> thank you. >> the next item is a closed session item 12 and the first item is public comment on all matters related to this session. is there anyone here who would like to speak on

item 12? seeing none, then we have a vote to move into closed session? >> i move to close into closed session. >> there is a motion to move into closed session. mr. pacheco, please call the roll. >> on that motion from commissioner hurtado to enter into closed session item 12, commissioner fung, president is absent, lazarus, honda. the vote is 4-0. the board is now in clos we are reconvening in

open session and i will state that no action was taken during the closing session and the matter is whether or not to disclose information in the session. >> i will move that we not disclose the discussion based on attorney-client privilege. >> mr. pacheco, if you can take the roll on that? >> on that motion from commissioner hurtado to not disclose the content of the closed session, commissioner fung, lazarus, honda, aye. the vote is 4-0 to not disclose the content of the closed session. >> there is no further business. we are adjourned. thank you. >> >> [ meeting is adjourned ]
