But anyway, I received from him a list of signatures from local residents in support of this application, but it hasn't been submitted to the board yet.

Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chair. May I be excused?
Yes, you may. Any other requests for
continuances or withdrawals?
I'm sorry, Chair.
This is Tanya, the administrator.
If I could mention
the attorney about herald gate um if they are not able to get in touch with them at the next
continuance they could also reach out to the council purchase office to make them aware as
well as send us letters of their efforts so that we can be able to go pardon the interruption
as soon as you began speaking i lost you i went it went out and just came back on so if you don't
mind okay um i was just suggesting that um if he's unable to reach harold gate by the time of
the next hearing that he reach out to the council person's office to inform them as well as submit
to the rco box letters of his efforts to reach out to them hopefully mr mayner is still on
i think he has to be excused he may not may have left is there any way we can get that message to
him yes we can email him thank you chair thank you tanya thank you um okay any other other requests
for continuance or withdrawals again i will get back to 4520-40 worth street momentarily
All right, why don't we proceed? I'm not seeing anything. No hands are up.
I believe, I'm sorry.
hi can you hear me yes and you are
please uh spell your full name and i'll swear you in sure augusta a-u-g-u-s-t-a my last name
is o'neill o apostrophe n-e-i-l-l where from to tell the truth the whole truth nothing about the
the truth? Yes. Please proceed. Thank you. Mr. Chair, I just wanted to let you know my
office had submitted a request to withdraw 1314 North Broad Street. The calendar number is MI
2021-002025 and Ron
2021-002025 and ron patterson from my office had submitted that request on september 24th
i just didn't hear it being called sorry what was that address again 1314 north broad street
and that's a two o'clock listing yeah that's on the letter um that he sent in that it was for the
two o'clock on our sheet let me check with staff tanya uh sharon anyone have that i think we have
you down for the continuance case at 18 817 ellsworth right and then um i just wanted to
make sure that you got that you had received the request to withdraw this other matter
so if the request came to me then it was taken care of that's why it's not the stick
um so we don't have it on here today okay all right thank you so much thank you we'll be
talking to you shortly okay any other requests for continuances or withdrawals
there are no hands at this time chair all right we'll address worth street when we get to that
on our list. First case on the two o'clock list is MI 2021-003372-10169 Northeast Boulevard.
This is an appeal against L&I.
Chair, we have Mr. Leonard Reuter.
Reuter, please identify yourself, and I'll swear you in.
Chair, this is Sharon. I was going to say that we don't have exhibits for this, but
I believe we were expecting that the appellants who are the prior
property owners were going to appear to request that it be withdrawn.
uh mr reuter did you hear that uh i just i just got re uh placed as a as a panelist here so i
missed the first part of that let's do this first give us your full name i'll swear you in
sure uh may it please the board leonard f reuter that's l-e-o-n-a-r-d middle initial f
uh last name is r-e-u-t-e-r uh senior attorney for the city of philadelphia
you were firm to tell the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth i do
mr reuter this is sharon if um it might make sense for us to see if the opponents are here
because if they are indeed going to withdraw them it might not be necessary for you to
make any argument sure all right is there anyone here for uh 10169 northeast boulevard
if you're out in the audience please raise your hand
i see no hands share thank you sharon are we okay to dismiss this yes i was just going to say in
alternative you could dismiss if mr reuter would like to put something on the record though um
this is tanya i'm sorry to interrupt would it be okay to withdraw um because i received
documentation from the previous applicant stating that they're no longer the owner
sure if you wanted to i don't think there's any really practical difference between it but
of course um if they sent you something indicating that they wanted to withdraw
then that would be sufficient. Thank you. If I could just ask the withdrawal was requested by
the same party that filed the appeal, right? From the applicant who was previously the owner
and now they've sold the property and that was why I requested a withdrawal just to be on the
safe side. In case it was an appeal against a violation. I didn't want it to affect the other
person, the new owners. Okay. I mean, you know, again, I think the only distinction would be
a dismissal. Theoretically, they could ask for reconsideration
or ask for a new hearing, whereas a withdrawal, I think, would be pretty much permanent. I don't
think they could back off from a withdrawal, but I'll leave it to the discretion of the chair.
uh well it sounds from the documents that tanya just spoke to and sharon that
withdrawal would be appropriate if anyone disagrees please chime in
i don't see any so mi 2021-003372 10169 northeast boulevard is withdrawn
one zero one six nine northeast boulevard is withdrawn
uh having said that we will now go to number three thank you number three on our two o'clock
list and that's a companion to the number two on the 9 30 list so i'll read them both on
for the record mi 2021 that's 000459 1502 west area avenue and there's a letter of support from
the 13th ward and the other companion piece to that is mi 2021 that's 000458 1504 west area avenue
That application has also received a letter of support from the 13th Ward RCO.
Having said that, Mr. Clinton is the attorney of record.
Please identify yourself.
You're still under oath from earlier today.
Good afternoon, Mr. Chairman, members of the board.
