. >> i would like to ask mr mr. dredler, who was a commissioner, to explain to us if he in his practice as a commissioner has ever used the provision he was quoting us. would you mind speaking to us about that. we are in a very awkward situation as the definition of demolition between d.b.i. and the planning department is definitely not on the same page, not to say they're at odds. could you explain in your time of how you used that provision, if at all. >> i was on a different commission. >> oh, i thought you were on the planning commission
