situation that happened several months ago for the mobile food court that was placed adjacent to the etrade building. the department notification for this permit -- it is a function of when the restaurant opened. that would define whether they would have been notified or not. other than that, the department has nothing to add that is germane to testimony by the appellant and the applicant. >> the appellant claimed if they appealed, i know that you cannot predict, but what would dpw have done if they appealed? >> the department is required to evaluate a variety of things. if it was within 300 feet, it is highly likely that this department would have denied this location to the applicant. however, in this case, based upon -- it was slightly outside of 300 feet. approximately 400 feet away. that is beyond what we believe to be -- what is defined under the code as it is established. president hwang: what does the code say? i did not see it anywhere. >> notification is 300 feet or the length of the block, which is ever -- which ever is more. if it is a mobile carts, it is from the address to 300
