>> scott sanchez planning department. really, we need a day or two to review the plans, and if they're submitted to planning or building at the same time, we can confirm that they're compliant with the planning code, we can have the hearing next week. >> and if it doesn't happen in a timely manner, then it won't be heard. >> i make a motion to continue it to the next meeting. >> okay. we very a motion from commissioner -- we have a motion from commissioner honda to get the plans in shape and heard at the next hearing. so on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: okay. that motion carries 5-0, and we'll see you in one week. okay. let's move on to item number nine. thank you very much for your patience, the people here for item number 9. [agenda item read]. >> i need to make my reuben and junius disclosure. i need to disclose that i am on a board that has hired reuben and junius. their presence will not effect my position. good evening. >> good evening. this is a case about demolition. demolition seems like a simple concept.

>> thank you, scott sanchez, planning department. we did work with the permit architect to provide plans that address the issues. there was only one outstanding question of what was actually there in 2008. all we have our aerial photos from the time that will provide us with a perfect understanding. what they have provided was a good resolution. there was maybe still some lingering questions from d.b.i. i know senior inspector duffy was out talking about the last case and whether a firewall be required. the deck -- the stairs and landing that are being -- as long as they're reconstructed in the same area as they were before, they could be constructed without the firewall and i think this is the assumption that you are all working with here. as long as the plans that they are showing here, d.b.i. can confirm that the firewall is required. we would -- we are focusing on the rear stair and landing, that was the only issue that we had in the department with the permit. the vertical addition, we didn't have any issue. i'm not even sure if

. >> we will now hear from scott sanchez. >> thank you, scott sanchez planning department. also joined by dan adams who is deputy director for housing community development and jacob senior planner for for special projects and policy team for the planning department. intimately familiar with the process that led to the change of this policy and the methodology calculation. i appreciate that the appellant has put it down to a fine point. it really is a question of what methodology applies to the subject permit. i think with respect to what the appellant has said, it does have locations beyond this application. which has caused grave concerns for the department. the appellant misunderstand how fees are assessed. they actually are assessed at site permit issuance. also in the building code. what happens later on is they are collected typically at first construction document. in the interim, if their annual indexing of the fees those get calculated then. when you pay your, ultimately, the first construction document. assessment occurs at site permit issuance. the application fo

scott sanchez, planning department. i was trying to process the question that commissioner santacana asked about a.d.u. properties. i think what was submitted by the permit holder in their summary, they noted two permits which consolidate all previous permits. the first one for 40 alta does not exist. i looked at permit, the 201807241285, i looked at it as 2018 or 2019 and did not see that, so maybe that's an error in that permit number. the 50 alta does show, but i just wanted to raise that to maybe avoid confusion or maybe it was just confusion that i alone had, so thank you. >> so who -- mr. sanchez, i think what's clouding my view on this is we have to go back to november hearing, and then, we go back to the second hearing and -- whereas we unpeel this onion, we found a lot of rot. we found that there was an apartment that was being used as an office illegally. we found other inconsistencies with the truth and with what would be considered ethical or legal behavior. i'll focus on the legal. and so i don't know if th

scott sanchez, planning department.he board has her the appeals of window permits before and often the ones before you are the ones were planning department has denied a permit to legalize window replacement. this is not the case. this is the permit to allow for replacement of the same opening of a window that is not on a faÇade that is viewable from the public right-of-way. the planning department does not typically review window replacements that don't have a change on the size of opening if they are not visible. the exception would be for certain historic buildings, in particular for the landmark buildings, and then we are looking at all of the faÇades, and you could need a certificate of appropriateness to allow such a change, even if it is in the same opening. in terms of the window here that they are proposing to replace it with, it is within, it is a historic resource. the property is within the eligible panhandle for the historic district. because of that, does have a heightened level or view. does not appear th
