project um repeatedly uh between november and december did you did you think that a zoning
permit had been issued or what did and if not what did you think was happening regarding 6930
no i didn't didn't know that there was a zoning permit issued i thought that there was a proposed
plan of changes to to the property and again like i said on december 15th that's why we joined the
meeting so we could understand more about the proposed plan okay and so did you think it was
more like the variance process like somebody wants to do something and they're going to come
to the community and they're going to present and there's going to be discussion and maybe
and they're going to present and there's going to be discussion and maybe some give and take and
some give and take and did you think it was
did you think it was going to be more like that yes absolutely we thought we because we were
concerned about parking um so we were we were curious in terms of how they were going to
resolve parking um that was one of our concerns okay and i i have a so real quickly that that
proposal of the proposal the petition and this was provided by council previously i think on like i
said february 19th uh alex had provided it via email does that look like the petition i'm going
to flip through it and again this is what they provided does that look like the the materials
the rendering and the floor plans you mentioned yes okay so when i say i downloaded you know i
also can still download this to this day you wouldn't be surprised that it's not the same
petition okay but this is the petition provided by council for the property owner i i've highlighted
in pink um two places where it uses the word proposal does that does that sound like does
that look like the petition that you looked at yes okay and did you see anywhere in that petition
reference to zoning permit already being issued no okay and then i have um mr mr knockamson had
asked you whether you had ever seen a permit posted in the window on ardley street this
photograph that i have right up right now it's a picture i took um that's the property there with
the arrow pointing in it correct yes and ardley street it's the sidewalk to the on the left side
correct yes correct all right so and there's a hill there next to the sidewalk correct correct
and the house is set back pretty pretty far substantially from that sidewall correct yes
pretty hard to see that window wouldn't you yes i mean i'm struggling to look at the screen right
now well yeah that's that's computer so all right um and you're not aware of what the actual posting
requirements are for a permit as far as where they're to be located on the property do you know
anything about that i mean i know that they should be fairly visible because we've had them
in our property and they they need to be brightly colored so they're visible
and that they need to be like located close close to the sidewalks yes um
did the activity that that was going on in the fall this is my last question
did you said that that seemed like activity you had seen at the property
over the several years beforehand correct yes it was it didn't give you any idea that anything
different was happening correct that's correct and in the for the past activity were you aware
that based upon that activity any zoning permits had been issued that you could relate that
activity to a zoning permit being issued no okay i have no further questions okay sure real quick
This will be very quick. Again, I just wanted to clarify because I'm a little confused, Ms. Christo. You said that you went to December 15th meeting of Iman because you wanted to learn more about the project or proposal at 6930 Ardley. Is that right?
That's right.
How did you know that Iman was going to be discussing 6930 Ardley?
um i believe that we would well we didn't 100 well i believe we were told that they
would be discussing it on that particular meeting okay so again there were other persons that were
either members or associated with iman that you believe did know about what was happening at 6930
hardly is that right yes okay um and did anybody at this december 15th meeting of iman say anything
to the effect that they were were other people to the best of your ability to tell were other people
at well scratch the question i don't think i think it's already been asked to answer that's
all right i don't have anything and then just one one question no okay no we're done okay we're done
so um uh we i thought we were going to be a little further on so we're going to have to do this as a
resumptive hearing it'll be june 9th 2026 at 9 30 a.m and before we get back to that uh hillary
will look at your requests for subpoenas and we'll get back to you let you know where we stand with
that and and i would also ask mr chair that mr uh creamer be uh in attendance because we would
like to ask him questions and the councils agreed did i i mean because i said i don't think he's a
party but he's going to testify anyway i think he's relevant again the city's not taking a
again the city's not taking a position because we don't know what was in people's heads at the time
position because we don't know what was in people's heads
but i'm not sure why we need any further testimony at all because the issue is not
whether ms christo herself had any specific knowledge of the issuance of a zoning permit
but whether there was sufficient notice because otherwise then there would be an infinite amount
of time for somebody to say well i didn't know this permit had been issued right
because they as an individual didn't know no that's exactly that's that's that's a loss no
no no actually david that's not all right all right we're going to come back listen
me we're going to come back that's not if you post the corner come back on june 9th
that's not correct 9 30 a.m you know and what we want to do is that particular day we're going to
end the timeliness issue and where we stand that's going to be done that day and um you know we're
going to give it a limited time and we're going to try to we're going to get this done okay thank
