if the request is abandoned, the requesting party is entitled to a full refund of deposit or fees paid unless the city has already spent more than an hour preparing those findings and for the appeals board to notify all parties that the request for findings has been abandoned. again, this is to codify the existing procedures that the assessment appeals board already uses and in doing so to fill a gap in state law that was left there for us to be able to develop these procedures. one non-subsanative declaration, on page 2, line 4, i believe that it should read, "finding fees shall be waived" instead of just "findings shall be waived," and so it should be waived if any of the following occur. so i request that slight modification be made and don duran from the appeals board is here to address any details that i left out. >> i have a quick question. so this is designed and so this is prior to having a hearing that you'd get essentially a written response. is this prior to having the hear something. >> i think that is the case. >> okay, great. please come forward, mr. duran. >> good aftern

the planning department has reviewed the appellant's request and found it does not comply for the request. it does not contain any new information that has not been provided on this matter. last we be the other appellant raised questions. to support their claim, they provided one page ever a four-page document stating that the top floor was not legally constructed. they reviewed records and found the document in its entirety. upon reviewing the report based on a site inspection in further ans furtherance of a condominium, they found that the top floor was illegal. they cited 13 minor items for correction. the report was a fached to per -- attached to the permit. top floor of the building has existed since at least 1935 although there is other evidence that it was earlier. it appearses on the 1950 sanborn map. they cite it three storeys over basement. the appellant cited two per pits from the 1950s stated two-storey over basement. the balance of evidence including the 1981 report support the legality of the structure. the appellant has been informed to pursue the matter furd with dbi as th

the $94 billion requested for puerto rico is a realistic figure. the application of that, how we prepare for the future in terms of sustainability, had we lower energy costs, had we make the governors there more transparent and accountable, these are issues that still have to be dealt with. but to hold relief and recovery support hostage because of an inference that you cannot trust the government, or that somehow there is a different criteria for order rico then there is for rico thana for puerto anywhere else in the u.s. is a huge mistake. .ongress has the power we should utilize that. we should not open this up as a , somehere privatization of the instances we saw in louisiana that became a experiment's in terms of providing relief in the long run, we need to do that. we have lessons to learn from other recoveries and we have an opportunity here to do something right that will require resources. , iyour question, right now wish i could be more optimistic about where my colleagues in the majority are going in the house in terms of puerto rico. i
