3:30 am
number of riserers that may be make a right angle turn working with dbi we filed a applicant and new modification permit on that permit and have met several times with dbi plan checkers and inspections to make sure we meet the building code we were confident it met the building code the current staff supports the project and haven't found extraordinary circumstances and brought this to you as a abbreviated dr now back to the roof deck 20 years ago the owner of 26 broadway rake filed a permit that include exterior modeling and property the roof deck and the stair penthouse the project sponsor removed the deck and penthouse
3:31 am
if the scope of work it was done by hand and the department staff don't change the scope of applications they can make notes about code references but if those have to be done that i the project sponsor they could also dispassive it the penthouse were removed if the scope and sometime between 1985 and 1990 the stair penthouse and the roof deck were constructed illegal without rectify they were apparently built to the professionally architecture and engineering plans we've done some exploratory disruption to check the if i may the main thing commissioners what are before you are two site permits
3:32 am
they're here no planning review the technicalities of the soil and co-hemorrhages maybe aren't properly discussed in this venue if you want to discuss we have a our engineer here but those are planning approval if the commission moves to beginning the beginning dbi brown will check the aspects submitted by the project sponsor and his engineers at this point the consultant and gentleman will have an alp opportunity to look at the dbi safety issues that are part of the normal city review process we know from the planter permit that was referred to and upheld at the proilz the gentleman is not shy in inserting himself onto the process so that opportunity
3:33 am
about come should the commissioner paragraph those proprieties the general altitudes of dbi and the city attorney's office are not to pursue the punitive things especially in if the property owner doesn't cause the violation this is not a reason to take dr both projects had preapplication review with the neighbors both projects received 311 notice and have been transparent in review with the department of building inspection their appropriate and mirror certain elements and improve the reliability the dr requesters is unhappy with the projects for for his own reasons he has a few valid points we want to work with the flashing
3:34 am
at the roof deck graduate wall and the removal of the stairs for i am had maintain his property if we get a assess policy in place our soil reports it is less than a foot in several places we want to conduct a boundary survey of the buildings you saw the gap the gentleman made the assumption that entire gap belongs to him and could bridge and encroach open the caseys property when you have abutting buildings with a small grandpa in their roofed over or made waterproof and nobody has issued issues if didn't it explicit matter who is
3:35 am
flashing as long as something is between the buildings, however the inspector expects the department of building inspection to impose financial burns on folks for a rotted fence this is a finite life in the packet you'll see this rotted fence it is true the casey soil probably contributed how is mr. casey responsible for rot on his fence my gentleman
3:36 am
assumes it is an off commissioners we believe this project should receive the planning approval please don't take dr and allow those to move through the proper process. >> any public comment in support of project sponsor seeing none, dr requester you have a rebuttal for i believe 4 minutes. >> good evening structural engineer i'm delighted to hear that the gentleman is willing to work with us in regards to the retaining wall and trying to do this for quite a while i know
3:37 am
this is an engineering issue that has to do with the retaining wall we have absolutely no desire to prevent our neighbor from this code no desire from having him restruck our only concern he does it without structurally effecting our wall that discussion took place a long time ago i offered a solution a structural solution per bonding to have it implemented many difference ways to retain or remove or eliminate surcharges having big trees next to our wall it is over 91 years old is
3:38 am
not a neighboring act we ask you lower the grade that's why we're here it's been 4 years in the making. >> may i have the screen please hi, i'm frank i'm geotechnical engineer i wish to take the retaining time there's a lot of comments about the fill a f-3 it is, in fact, for more like 18 inches form of o foreman to properly lower the fill height between the stairs and the building you must remove the stairs first then remove the fill if you want to put the
3:39 am
stairs back that's fine but not place a surcharge open the wood two on the wall and third in so doing if you look at the footing that footing sits on old file i hope a new design will properly design the foundation so it sits on competent material like the that's the issue the fill is a recent fill as recorded by connecticut insuring that is an excellent geotech firmer you have to take the stairs do you think that's the issue here that's the issue as far as, mr. dui listency it was because of his injection into the planner that is being removed and new one being built
3:40 am
if it wasn't for him we have another issue with the planner thank you very much. >> thank you project sponsor you have the rebuttal. >> commissioners, i have no other information to add out of respect for our time i'll wave them. >> that clicks the public hearing portion. >> commissioner richards. >> i i guess i recalled a situation where a neighbor built something up against my house we came to an agreements i sad with the neighbor we talked about it he pulled his fill away and another neighbor removed the thing like a gate attached to my house and this was the neighboring thoing thing to do
3:41 am
mr. license platecy we had an issue of who is house was leaning we talked a survey and oh, my god so i cut a piece of my house off and went on my merry way i thought why didn't mr. casey do this and that you've offered to do so i think the process for the building inspection will take care of a lot of the issues i don't support taking the dr those are side permits. >> is that a motion. >> motion. >> second. >> commissioner antonini. >> yeah. i too have experienced the first house we sold a sub grade and part of the
3:42 am
sellers expense was directed at the problem somewhat similar but i'm not quietly quite sure what we're able to do at this point sounds like both sides are awe meblt to the caseys going ahead and removing the fill and laughing the folks that make the repairs as part of the agreement and putting a new foundation for the stairs in bedrock and building the new stairs on that side and the other issue everybody is able to a survey to determine the line and put their deck on whatever it is appropriate can we condition any of this stuff or is this all dbi stuff. >> i think it's all dbi. >> okay. well my finding will
3:43 am
be i've heard the discussion that sounds like the way it some precede, however i'm not sure we can take dr we have to allow for the process of legalization of the deck or the and then you know the process of legalization of the stairs that are existing in completion of the deck sir, you have a comment on that. >> you have to come up to the microphone. >> thank you frank i just i understand it's a dbi issue but you have an understanding and that understanding is that mr. casey is willing to remove the stairs and lower the fill height and allow the gentleman - can you motion say your motion is based on the understanding those things will be done so in
3:44 am
confusion and we may be able to say we have a finding i would feel a motion of we do not take dr we'll have to disapprove but we're not taking dr but with the recommendation those things be done if it's okay. >> i'm even though maker of the motion i have licensed approvals in architecture and spiritual jerry civil engineering the applicant has its own engineers here he building that the standard of care in all profession represented here are enough with the dbi to have the competent obligation to adhere to what the professional conduct requires if you're doing the process of dbi it disputes this
3:45 am
commission didn't have the professional quantifications to get into the things except the department urging the dbi expertise to deliver a project that a.d. here's to all higher standards of professionalism we all can testify to that you all have our licenses so i'll leave that with that, i can only port authority what it does want asks it commission to do so you can defer to the commission planning meeting on in meeting. >> commissioners, if i may the staff feels it the inappropriately in front of you those are not appropriate in front of you, we do not recommend you take action.
3:46 am
>> thank you for clarifying that director ram. >> commissioner hillis and unless we want to take dr and ask the people to be good neighbors i've roved that by getting up on my roof with my neighbors i have good neighbors. >> please call the question. >> a monoxide and second to not take dr. >> commissioner antonini. >> commissioner hillis commissioner johnson commissioner moore commissioner richards commissioner fong that and commissioner president wu so moved, commissioners, that motion passes unanimously 78 to zero lae and place you on general public comment. >> general public comment general public comment is closed. we would like to generous or adjourn the meeting in honor of jennifer mac
