1:03 pm
unit while that's available this is a single-family home neighborhood the purpose to provide the accomodation for the elderly mother and the intent not to create a new unit to be rented this is the property owner home so it is not intending to skier to create a second unit that's why we maintain the request for the moratorium and we're here for any questions you may have >> questions for the commissioners? okay. seeing none thank you. >> does the department want a rebuttal. >> it's deservedly in your hands. >> thank you. >> question for the attorney this is we have to vote on this today; right? whether to grant the moratorium or consider it.

you. >> okay. thank you any other comments. >> so this situation commissioner walker trying to lead the point of view the hardship is this is the elderly motto facilitate her and for nomination in the house that's a hardship to me; right? >> i get it now just wanted to can i have another question. >> oh, commissioner walker so we consider the conditions right now but in the event that the person who's being accommodated the elderly relative if there's a passing of that person what prevents someone else from coming in to occupy this i mean, i think that
1:06 pm
we need to look at the short term and long term in how we discuss that i think. >> the answer put a condition in the moratorium for the particular individual is no longer living to notify dbi that brings before you a recession of the moratorium for the date. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner mar. >> so given the information i agree with commissioner vice president melgar i'm ready to move on it i make o a motion to uphold the moratorium for 10 years or if the current tenant is no longer living on the premises one or the other. >> i second the motion.
1:07 pm
>> a couple of other decisions one to be month missouri no further modifications during the moratorium that's one you could add you might want to request a floor plan identifying the issues and not be expanded and changed and incorporate that going into the floor plan many say a tentative decision and you could require the applicant to seek documentation to seek no life safety issues and require the department to save what is needed in the documentation to be considered as well. >> okay. thank you commissioners mr. sweeney the inspection did a inspection and found no life safety done last
1:08 pm
week. >> commissioner walker. >> can we amend this to reflect the suggestions of the attorney we require a floor plan and statement of conditions noting that it doesn't violate no health not safety issues that are imminent here and also require if the person there new months out they have to notify dbi of that. >> and to the further language stating no further notifications are allowed and i assume that's a motion. >> i think i have to start over i think. >> mia any further commissioner comments. >> seeing none, there's a motion and second for this to you uphold the order of
1:09 pm
abatement and so someone wants to restate that motion? >> the motion was a uphold the order of abatement and grant the moratorium with the following considerations that at person occupied the moratorium is uphold until 10 years or the person motives out and no further notifications made during the abatement and documenting the condition and that the donation be submitted to the department confirming no code violations anybody take exception to that. >> okay. thank you. >> yeah. thank you, commissioners i think we're comfortable with the conditions i want to make two points in
1:10 pm
terms of life safety and health issues we've had the inspection i wonder what the property owner will do if in fact, it's happened i feel we confirm that. >> the question for our attorney is it sufficient that the donation is sufficient. >> i think it is fine you should have that incorporated into the decision. >> do you have a record. >> just verbal but we can get a note. >> this dbi can provide that. >> and one other question upheld the order and the moratorium i'm hoping it didn't allow for the fees or finances to accrue during that period that's my only concern. >> does the moratorium automatically stop the fee role. >> i think you put it in one of
1:11 pm
the provisions. >> fees to this point and not beyond. >> yeah. thank you. >> our decision. >> thank you, commissioner. >> is that okay sonya. >> any public comment on that item? seeing none, we'll do a roll call vote commissioner president clinch commissioner vice president melgar commissioner mccarthy commissioner mar commissioner lee commissioner mccray and commissioner walker the motion carries unanimously. >> okay. is there my general public comment for items not on the abatement appeals board agenda? seeing none, i have item h adjournment is there a motion to
