Similar wording

Está bien que Ángela pueda hacer la presentación.

Ella es la que me está ayudando a hacer todo el proceso.

Similar wording

Would it be okay if Angela helps me make the presentation?

Similar wording

She's the one that has been helping me throughout the whole process.

Similar wording

Angela can show the documents on the screen, but she cannot testify.

Similar wording

Así que Angela puede enseñar los documentos en la pantalla, pero ella no puede testificar.

Similar wording

Okay.

Similar wording

Esta es la carta de la presentación del apoyo de RCO.

Similar wording

so this is the supporting letter of rco we need to see it on this she has to put it on the computer

Similar wording

pero lo tiene que compartir por la computadora

Similar wording

okay so that's a letter from esperanza puede ver ahí así que esa es la carta de esperanza

Similar wording

We need to see what she wants to do.

Similar wording

Necesitamos ver lo que quieren hacer.

Similar wording

There you go.

Similar wording

Esta es la aplicación para el Sony, para dos unidades.

Similar wording

So that's the zoning application for two units.

Similar wording

We have all those documents.

Similar wording

Why don't she go to her plans?

Similar wording

Así que ya tenemos todos esos documentos, puede proceder a enseñar los planes.

Similar wording

Así que ya tenemos todos esos documentos.

Similar wording

Puede proceder a enseñar los planes.

Similar wording

Esos son los planos.

Similar wording

And those are the plans.

Similar wording

This is on three floors.

Similar wording

Y esto es en tres pisos.

Similar wording

Sí.

Similar wording

O es dos y un sótano, ¿correcto?

Similar wording

Sí, correcto.

Similar wording

Correct.

Similar wording

okay could you tell her to explain what what she's trying to do y nos puede explicar qué

Similar wording

es lo que está tratando de hacer sí que queremos hacer el el primer piso es un apartamento de dos

Similar wording

habitaciones en el segundo piso un apartamento de una habitación y el basement cogerlo para

Similar wording

stories the enter requires verification en el primer piso un este un apartamento de dos

Similar wording

habitaciones en el segundo piso usted dijo que un apartamento de una habitación

Similar wording

y en basement que usted dijo para cogerlo para storage okay so in the first floor we want to

Similar wording

make an apartment with two rooms in the second floor we want to make an apartment with one

Similar wording

bedroom and in the third i mean in the basement we want to make it a storage storage the basement

Similar wording

been shown in a living room and bedroom, doesn't it?

Similar wording

Pero el sótano demuestra una sala y un cuarto.

Similar wording

Esa fue la primera exposición que se hizo,

Similar wording

pero la comunidad la negó, y por lo tanto,

Similar wording

solamente lo voy a dejar para hacer un storage,

Similar wording

para guardar cosas.

Similar wording

So that was the first proposal, but the community

Similar wording

objected to it, so we changed it to just make it a storage.

Similar wording

Could we shoot photos, please?

Similar wording

So that's the entrance of the first floor. That's the hallway.

Similar wording

And on the right, it would be the entrance to go into the first apartment with two bedrooms, and that is a living room.

Similar wording

That is one bedroom.

Similar wording

That is the kitchen of the first floor.

Similar wording

that's a closet that's in the kitchen

Similar wording

on the first floor

Similar wording

and that is the door

Similar wording

to go up to the second floor

Similar wording

that is the hallway to the second floor

Similar wording

that would be the first bedroom

Similar wording

and then um that that the answer requires repetition

Similar wording

so um i don't have pictures of the um living room upstairs and the small kitchen

Similar wording

does she have a bathroom in the basement

Similar wording

tiene un baño en el

Similar wording

sótano

Similar wording

no lo que tengo es un

Similar wording

toilet en el

Similar wording

en el sótano

Similar wording

siempre hubo

Similar wording

el de eso del

Similar wording

del toilet

Similar wording

so it's just a toilet in the basement

Similar wording

but just a toilet

Similar wording

cuando la compré la compré

Similar wording

así en es tenía abajo

Similar wording

el baño

Similar wording

con el toilet

Similar wording

so but i whenever i purchase it i purchase it like that with a bathroom and a toilet downstairs

Similar wording

could you answer what's the rest of the block they have duplexes on the rest of the block here

Similar wording

so there are houses that have apartments questions with the board yes what's the

Similar wording

plan for laundry and trash storage y cuál es el plan de este lavandería y para guardar basura

Similar wording

buenos para usar para la bandería the interpreter word p sí para usar para

Similar wording

The interpreter would be,

Similar wording

si, para usar para lavandería y para guardar este basura.

Similar wording

lavandería y para guardar este basura

Similar wording

Bueno, sería basura regular y el reciclaje como se hace usualmente.

Similar wording

En verdad, no tengo un laundry abajo en el basement,

Similar wording

pero en caso de que tendría que ponerlo, podría hacerlo,

Similar wording

porque tengo el espacio en el sótano para hacerlo.

Similar wording

So, regarding trash and recycle,

Similar wording

it will be the exact same thing as how as how it is but um laundry we currently do not have a

Similar wording

laundry but we have sufficient amount of space in the basement that if we needed to add um laundry

Similar wording

we could add it there okay but right now there is no notated plan for trash so i don't know what

Similar wording

exactly how it is means así que este pero ahora mismo no hay este como un plan notado acerca de

Similar wording

So what I mean by the

Similar wording

trash would be how it was before is that there's the normal recycle pickup and outside the door

Similar wording

whenever you go to the alley that's where we have the space for the trash as well. So this is at

Similar wording

the rear of the property? Y eso en la parte de atrás de la propiedad? Si. Yes. So how does the second floor

Similar wording

unit access the rear? Y como es que la unidad del segundo piso como ellos pueden acceder a esta parte de atrás?

Similar wording

ese sería para el primer piso

Similar wording

no sé si puede ver la foto ahí

Similar wording

ahora en la pantalla

Similar wording

so that is

Similar wording

in the first floor

Similar wording

I don't know if you can see

Similar wording

the picture on the screen

Similar wording

we can

Similar wording

we see the first

Similar wording

we do

Similar wording

si lo podemos ver

Similar wording

ok

Similar wording

el primer piso

Similar wording

el segundo piso

Similar wording

podría poner el reciclaje

Similar wording

en el balcón

Similar wording

so the second floor

Similar wording

can put the recycling

Similar wording

in the balcony

Similar wording

in what balcony there's no balcony on this plan

Similar wording

so in the first floor um you can see the balcony or the porch the french porch understood

Similar wording

and then just for final clarification the only entrance and access to the basement

Similar wording

currently is through the stairwell

Similar wording

in the main entrance

Similar wording

in the new main entrance

Similar wording

y para confirmar

Similar wording

la única entrada para el sótano

Similar wording

es a través de la puerta

Similar wording

principal que hay una

Similar wording

escalera para abajo

Similar wording

si ahí se ve

Similar wording

que está en el plano

Similar wording

si puede ver en la

Similar wording

Yes, if you can see it in the plan, you can see where the stairs are to go into the basement.

Similar wording

I can, but this was a proposed drawing and you pulled no permits.

Similar wording

So I was not confirmed that they were actually constructed.

Similar wording

So to be clear, everything that we're looking at on this plan has already been constructed,

Similar wording

with the exception of the kitchen in the basement.

Similar wording

Así que, sí, pero estos son dibujos que son propuestos, así que solamente me quería confirmar que lo que estamos viendo es lo que está ahí actualmente y que ya ha sido construido, así que excepto lo de la cocina y el sótano.

Similar wording

No entendí, ¿me podría explicar nuevamente?

Similar wording

the interpreter will repeat

Similar wording

así que como estos son dibujos

Similar wording

que son propuestos

Similar wording

quería confirmar

Similar wording

que eso es

Similar wording

como se ve actualmente

Similar wording

que ahí donde está la escalera

Similar wording

para ir para el sótano

Similar wording

sí

Similar wording

ahí está la escalera

Similar wording
