us, you know, up -- applying for our law degrees and doing the constitutional issues and everything like that can't go on much longer. and -- i brought this up with supervisor chiu when he was before us on revocation, and he seemed to just pass it off with comments like, the more we crack down on clubs, the less necessary suspension or revocation hearings are going to be known, unfortunately the more we crack down on club, the more we're going to need advice from the city attorney in order to give everyone their due process. so, staff, if you could pass on a request for -- from at least one commissioner, i'm sure it is probably all of the commissioners that they're going to have to take into account the fact that we need more city attorney time, if we're going to do our job right. i think i resolved that problem. i want to direct the acting director to buy an eight ball, you ask questions to. >> you mean a hanl i think eight ball? >> yeah. >> there are other kinds of eight balls. to answer all of our questions. >> that it would. so just really quickly, i wasn't here at the last meeting because i was in preproduction for -- i'm going, i'm going to shut up real quick here. about the preproduction fo

one. the revocation of the color scheme is upheld. the revocation of the medallion is upheld for one year. president peterson: let us take a short break. president peterson: welcome back to the meeting of the board of appeals. we did not administer the oath early in the meeting. i will ask to do that again, since people may have come in since that was done. >> please stand if you were not sworn in at 5:00 and intend to testify in any further hearing. thank you. do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you are about to give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? thank you. president peterson: thank you. please call item no. 8. >> : item eight, appeal no. 10- 042, arza trust versus the department of building inspection. it is protesting the issuance to bille cayrot trustee, permit to alter a building. president peterson: if you would like to step forward. you have seven minutes. >> president peterson and commissioners, i and the trustee for arza trust. this balcony is about 5.5 feet from our property line, less than the 15 beat planning codes required. they tried to legalize it and th

us. we have under consideration the possibility of revocation, suspension or new conditions on this permit. and i thought long and hard about the issue of revocation. and unfortunately, there's a crying need for clarification of our revocation authority because what you're latching on to is extremely sin. there are only three grounds under which we can revoke a permit. and the one that you choose is false, misleading or fraudulent statements of material fact in the application for the permit. so this is going back to the act of filing a permit back in 2003. and you're identifying such issues as the fact that the manager that was cited in 2003 is no longer the manager, in fact, in 2010 or that the hours of business in 2003 are not the same as in 2010. i'm afraid that's a really think connection other than false and misleading statements on the application, the only thing else in the revocation section of police code 1060, that we can address is failure to pay any fee that's required or failure to surrender the permit when sur rending the permit is required. so that doesn't give us a whole l
