the gentleman's unit is a dwelling unit as defined in this section as defined a residential unit can be a legal conforming a legal unit or a legal non-conforming unit the law does not permitting provide a third definition the conversion to non-residential unit with non-legal status requires a building permit not a plumbing permit there's nothing that says its illegal and in the paragraph 6 of the regional occupancy two family dwellings there's no pending 90s notices on the non conforming status the september 2013 nova didn't mention it i'm going to be showing you a data sheet hopefully, you'll see that after two recent inspections on june 24th and july 9th any public comment? 2014 the inspections were inclusive as to the existence of a violation of the housing code with respect to the legitimate of the unit. after further use on july 21st entry the housing inspector said it shows an r-3 d 23 facility the legal description further indoctrinates defines two residential units on the ground floor. in fact the housing inspectors findings says the housing unit maybe a legal conforming unit

unit so if someone removes a illegal third non-conforming unit but the removal of an illegal unit is not conforming to the policy we have applied a hearing a discretionary review authorization florida their removing an illegal unit with the response to the mayor's office distinctive to try to preserve housing weight look at ways to legalize those units but in this case that doesn't trigger. >> can i ask again, if you remove a third an illegal unit where there are 3 legal units or 3 units. >> correct so if the building contains 3 unit then removal of an illegal unit. >> a fourth unit. >> if you want to remove one unit we'll require a mandatory hearing one of the reasons there's a break in the building code requirement if i have 3 or more unit there's a standard for safety requirements so somebody has a two unit building with a third illegal unit it's much anymore difficult to legalize the third or fourth or first for existing that's the break in there so it's a nuance so again, this would otherwise not require a mandatory hearing but given there's a b b n the appellant gets the notice

unit. and so, when you look at the exact plain language of the statute, that is or did not happen here. and there is nothing in this permit history, that shows that a new unit was ever applied for and built. and this unit was not constructed with the benefit of a permit. and now, maybe later a permit was obtained and that does not mean that it was constructed with the benefit of that permit and so a bath and a kitchen was added to the bedroom in 1937 and 1966 at some time and it does not mean that the unit was constructed with a permit, and so that is the plain language of the new legislation, and the dwelling unit was in fact constructed without the benefit of a permit and so there is no history that shows that. and we urge you to apply that section and they also repeatedly say that because it is a non-conforming legal unit, therefore the section should not apply and that does not exist, and in fact the legislation was written, if you look at section, e3 g and specifically for those types

unit. >> thanks. >> mr. duffy? >> it was reviewed by all of the agencies here with the building department review. beginning on the 9th of may in 2013 and completing on the 15th of january, 2014 and, that will be for all of the building code, issues. and so, i think that the permit itself, the, i saw some stuff on the plans that i probably would have some questions about, but issues that are normally we come across as a fire resistive wall there and he has a sliding door in there inside of the bedrooms and i am just reviewing that and i would have questioned that and it is not something that we can figure out during the construction with the building inspection division. and in regard to the permit application itself and i would say that they caught it on the job filling out the permit application and from my time working at dbi with these, housekeeping units it is normally, on the building permit application that was part of the appeal package, and on the present usage, it said two units a

we were with the united states in kuwait. we were with united states together and afghanistan. we did not go to iraq. host: there is this threat of terrorism coming out of iraq that could impact many different countries. do you think it was right for the ministers and to go back in? guest: i'm not going to second-guess the administration. when it comes to all of these situations, there is no easy door to go through. we were working with united states and other allies on syria and we still have to get the accounting for the reduction of chemical weapons and we are putting in money to the humanitarian efforts including over $200 million into jordan for all the refugees that are there regrettably. i'm not going to second-guess the president on this and nor would canada. host: thank you very much for being part of "newsmakers." host: we are back with our reporters. what is going on between the canadian government and this white house over the keystone pipeline? >> this is a big point of tension between the two countries. the ambassador tried to separate the two and say we have a di

i'm sorry in the separate units versus the marked unit. the accessories record has an error. the correct count for bedroom count for the each of the exist single units is one bedroom per unit the proposed bedroom is two bedrooms so the project provides more bedrooms in each individual units. based on the staff review it's anothers departments recommendation that the commission take discretionary review and disapprove the property merger. the project will result in a net loss of one dwelling unit from the city's housing stock and replies them with a less affordable house and the r m-1 allows 3 zoning units and the proposed loss of the dwelling unit is contrary to the mayor inclusive including the naturally affordable unify u units and the housing affordability creates a exceptional circumstance such that existing dwelling units should be preserved that concludes my presentation. if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> thank you project sponsor. >> good evening. i'm aaron he miller owner jennifer johnson i have printouts o

isil is the enemy of the iraqi people, our neighbors, the united states, and united states allies. and we must make a common effort to defeat them. this is a dangerous new development in the middle east that requires a new doctor to combat terrorism. on the military front, with its indiscriminate destructiveness, creating its own eventual defeat. experience. from however, until then, ethnic cleansing and systematic destruction of unique altars and heritage will suffer irreversibly. hasccupied muslim, isil destroyed shia mosques, sunni shrines, and more. just last week, they issued an ultimatum, ordering residents to convert to isil, deviant versions of islam. if they do not comply, the ultimatum that clears then they will literally face the sword. along with iraqi christian minorities, thousands of other minority communities have been forced to flee their homes, often leaving all their belongings behind. a recent report by human rights works said isil has systematically killed and shia andchristians, making them an example is crude -- crusaders and heretics. notwithstanding major s

the united states, correct?haracterize the relationship today between the united states and mexico. >> the relationship of mexico with the united states has been so intense, i would daresay this relationship of the two countries at the institutional level is at one of its finest moments. there is good cooperation in topics that are common to our security, for instance. border security. it is working to increase productivity of our economies. the free trade agreement will give us economic growth, which is the objective of both countries, and more development for our society. our relationship is very intense. let me give you data here. i don't think many know this. about 80% of our exports go to the united states. mexico is the second most important destination of u.s. exports. what does this mean? practically, the u.s. sales to our country are the same as to other countries. more than what it sells together to russia, china and india. its sales to mexico are higher than all those countries put together. let me al

that is to say, if i want to make a permanent relationship with the united states, a citizen of the united states, you might want to have that cost less. i just want to maybe hang around for ten more years, not make that permanent. because the guy that does want to become a citizen or the woman, he learns english and civics and takes a big chance because he might fail the test. whereas, the other person just pretty much automatically gets extended for ten years. might want to switch that around since there are 8.8 million permanent residents that can become citizens today, 6 million of them mexican nationals that could become slcitizens overnig. might want to think about that so they can defend themselves. >> we thank the gentleman. now recognize the gentleman from iowa, mr. king, for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. director rodriguez, i do appreciate your testimony. i'd like to give you a little bit of a narrative of what's in the front of my mind listening to this. that is that i took mr. gutierrez's advice last weekend and went down to the border. started at the mouth of the r

what marriage to you and yours is a united states. law to all countries and says everybody regardless of their sovereign state yesterday are law and goes we and there were sections on iran. if you buy a can and then a country finance business with the rand we are going to penalize you and if you don't pay were not we'll let you conduct operations in the united states so i'm not sure what the bike is broken any law goes in montana and united states government does not have the option of dictating law to sovereign countries but it's been doing it for a long long time it did it to switzerland. and now they're starting on the commerce fight in germany they're trying to same thing to it that they just didn't trench by . i think that part of this is that washington uses. american clout over of the people by threatening them to be excluded from the american market. and all of to her those financial institutions in order to end ban . the financial interiorly isn't all the american banks so when they beat up on barclays they beat up on the fre

and yes it is, a matter of a matter of interest to the united states and important to the united states that we articulate our own understanding of when their use is appropriate and hope that others will take heed of that. i think doing the kinds of things, there was a report issued by the simpson center earlier this week. general abezaid-- the use of drones. but i think that the-- the issue of whether you have a comprehensive strategy towards counterterrorism, that's an important backdrop to whether we use this particular tool or special forces or other things that are used in counterterrorism. do you have a wide strategy for doing that. because counterterrorism is something that isn't going to go away. it's going to remain a mission. >> is the threat today bigger than it has ever been and are we looking at another time like 9/11? >> i don't think its-- i think that -- >> even though a bin ladsen dead as they say. >> right. well there are lots of sources of terrorism around the world. al shabab, various other ones. and i think in the longer, longer sweep of history, charlie, if you sta

criticism of the united states what do you make of it is it perhaps a sign of. i don't know a change of tone arm even a shift in the chinese poster a result of the united states well china since two thousand and eight has been the period when it feels a sense of superiority its economy has continued to grow while the western economies were taken down by a financial crisis that started in the united states and china has perceived itself as being on the rise and america on the decline now many thoughtful chinese know that's an over simplification especially in military and terms of education research and development all these many categories where the u.s. still has a substantial lead but the theme that that somehow that china is rising in the us is declining and the china deserves more respect in international affairs is a overwhelming theme inside china's media and i condemn me sir but mr paul a you mentioned in your answer to superiority and china demanding more respect to those and not that there is a not synonyms i mean demanding respect them being a given mo

side as an aggressor but it seems to me that this aggression is a very different caliber because the united states has the whole list of countries that it essentially ruins through intervention whereas russia is charged with one count of quote unquote bloodless an exception is that really fear to compare the two well you know we haven't seen the end of ukraine yet but if you go back into history you know russian then soviet intervention in. afghanistan in hungary and even it is germany in one nine hundred fifty three not exactly very pleasant the u.s. intervention was in afghanistan in two thousand and one and that was after nine eleven and the jury's still out on what's going to happen there the big american mistake of course was in iraq but dr friedman i think your reply to my question is very telling here because most examples of the quote unquote soviet aggression in fact the human example that you just mentioned the invasion of afghanistan it dates back to the soviet times where is all the examples that russia can cite its example . vantage of american aggression are very very recent i

would he in the united states. the -- we in the united states finance less than 5% of u.s. exports. exports are really done in the private sector, but this tool helps commercial banks and helps commercial manufacturers get their product when other avenues aren't available in the private sector. so here's an example of one of the programs of how the export-import works. you can see that the u.s. exporter sells to the foreign buyer and that commercial financing is still part of the equation. the export-import bank is only used as a safety net to make sure that that financial commercial obligation is secure in the situation. so it's not as if we are replacing commercial banking. it's not as if we aren't making even market rates. we are, for products like aerospace. so the issue is if we need to make sure commercial banks are willing to guarantee these kinds of sales, we're providing a safety net with the export-import bank. and what has the cost been to the u.s. government? well, we've had incredible success because everybody pays fees into this system. and those fees and the success o
