And could you ask them, does he waive the reading of the refusal and stipulate to its accuracy?
de el rechazo, and this is the interpreter speaking, waive the reading of the refusal,
and what is the last part? We're actually going to read the refusal into the record because
he is representing himself. This application is for the legalization of an addition
at the front of a semi-detached structure for use as a two-family household living.
The proposed use to family household living is prohibited in the RSA 5 zoning district, whereas the RSA 5 zoning district, the distance between the front facade and the front lot shall be no less than the distance between the front facade and the front lot line of the principal building on the immediate adjacent lot.
This is the interpreter.
You do it, and I'll pick up where you might have missed that, okay?
yes are you are you reading from the page yes from yes from the document right in front of you
under application four and then the two refusals okay así que esta aplicación es para legalizar
la visión en la parte del frente este semi sacada para el lado de una estructura de un
domicilio o un hogar de dos familias este viviendo en esta ubicación y demostrado en
en los planes de la aplicación.
El permiso de arriba está ubicado y que no puede ser dado
porque la propuesta no cumple con las provisiones siguientes
del código de zonas de Philadelphia.
Ese código lo puede acceder en la página de web en la pantalla
y que son los códigos sección 14-7012B5.A
y notar la tabla de 147011 donde dice que el RSA 5 distrito, la distancia entre la parte de al frente del lote,
este al frente, la línea del lote del frente no puede ser más que la distancia entre medio del frente y la línea del lote del frente
con el edificio principal y el lote al lado inmediato.
Y la tabla 146021, donde dice los usos permitidos de distritos residenciales,
dice que donde se propone el uso del domicilio de dos familias viviendo
es expresamente prohibido
a través del distrito de zona residencial RSA5?
Ok, yo nunca me he salido de la línea,
simplemente estaba en la galería
y subí la pared de mición de la galería.
Subí y yo no me salí de la línea,
simplemente cerré la galería.
So the only thing that I did, I didn't cross the line.
I just raised it and I closed the gallery and I just raised it up.
Okay, why don't we do this?
Let's start making the presentation and we're going to show things he can,
We're going to show things he can, we'll ask him questions through you and we'll try to figure out if we can get through this, okay?
we'll ask him questions through you and we'll try to figure out.
All right.
Okay, we have that, the posting, I see it.
which is the greenhouse there
y la casa de la verde
Do we have more printers of the inside of the property?
¿Y hay más imágenes de la parte adentro de la propiedad?
just asked him what what it is that he wants us to do yeah i mean give give us an idea where
So, give us an idea of what you want to do.
I took that house from the bank and it was impossible to keep it paying because what
they give me from social security is $945 and I was atrasada with the bank and my daughter
the interpreter requires verification
okay so i owe the i still owe the bank uh the bank the house so it was impossible for me to
make payments on it because through social security only got 945 dollars and i was um
delayed on the payments so um my daughter said that she was going to move with me so that she
can start paying um helping me pay all right so he's in one apartment she's in another
so we are currently living together because the other section is still not done

Could you ask him when he went to the RCO meeting, tell me what happened.
there were some paperwork that was missing and they spoke to me through the phone and i sent them in
So the RCO, when he went to the meeting, did he get a chance to give his side of the story?
Cuando usted fue para la reunión de RCO, ¿ustedes le dieron una oportunidad de dar su parte de la historia?
No, simplemente me dijeron que tenía que proponerla y me pusieron esta fecha.
So, no, they simply told me that I needed to propose it, and they gave me this date.
So, there's a petition for people who didn't want the project.
We were just trying to figure out if they relayed that to him at the meeting.
If they said why they didn't want him to do this.
Así que hubo una petición firmada por personas que no quieren ese proyecto que está haciendo.
They had a meeting with you, letting them know why they didn't want that project?
So, no, I didn't have that meeting.
sir we received a letter from the new 42nd ward rco and they said that they they met with you
and issued a letter in opposition can you talk about that meeting
Así que recibimos una carta de el 42RCO, donde ellos nos entregaron una carta que no estaban de acuerdo con el proyecto. ¿Usted recibe esa carta o la hablaron usted?
Sí, yo la recibí.
So I did receive it.
the one who sent the letter, we divided, but she has a room in Ebelman,
Sacó un
Algo atrás
There was something behind it, and it was the one that he called here.
So, the one that we divided is the hallway.
So, the person whom we share a hallway with,
that is the person that was the one that complained about and had called for the meeting here.
Okay. Planning Commission.
