Excuse me.

We do not.
Since you just got promoted, you'll have to unshare and then reshare it.
share screen okay i think now it's starting to work one second here we go
now did that work yep started to stick square to share
it's up thank you perfect perfect um if you can see this is 2084 east allegheny avenue
this existing restaurant for more than 30 years and before 1995 um we went to request a copy of
a zoning but when we requested we noticed there was nothing reported into the property
so we went to the community meeting they gave us the letter of support all our licenses are
compliance we have cameras we have lighting we have commercial pickup we keep the area clean we
work with the community we offer employment to the community so all we want to do is actually
legalized this because it doesn't show anywhere in the zoning archives that a zoning was ever
documented before 1995 or after even though we are able to get all our licenses and we thought
it was grandfather in because that was way before 2012 when zoning codes change there's nothing
documented in the miss cadillo do you have any photos of it yes i do um could you could you show
the photos yeah this is the application then you'll see the refusal right that's your extension
this is the letter of support that they gave us the rco power gate when we went and met with them
okay this is the flyer that we put out the lease
So you would like him to repeat so he could be there for you?
I have to reach out to our attorney just to chat.
Thank you.
My name is Cadillo.
She's going to find out.
Melissa, are you there?
I'm sorry, Rebecca.
I apologize.
Rebecca.
Hello.
Oh, I think if Mr. Cadillo adopts, essentially, Ms. Bajitza's testimony or repeats the primary points as she scrolls through.
Mr. Cadillo, did you hear your wife testify?
Did you agree to everything she said?
yes is that your testimony too mine yes thank you
i would ask that we just um not um voted today so we can confer because it's typical not to allow
that and i believe an attorney would be the one who could ask for the testimony to be adopted
but i would like to speak to mr mr letter because we've had issues in the past this is i'm checking
with Soletta again. I apologize for speaking out of turn. No worries. No, I just wanted to make sure
so it's on the record. And if anything, he's right here in the camera, so he could wish him, wish him.
Thank you. Rebecca, are you calling? Yes, I'm conferring with Miss Soletta now.
Thank you for your patience.
Thank you.
Rebecca Coole, Okay, this is Rebecca Coole again um my understanding is that if.
If Ms. Pedica can walk through Jose repeating the presentation, we do need him to actually
present.
And I understand you're both there, however, technically he needs to be the presenter.
Yes, he will read everything now.
Thank you.
I'm sorry to repeat ourselves.
So to get that confused.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, okay.
My name is Jose Cadillo.
What brings me here today is 2084 East Allegheny Avenue, Philadelphia PA 19134.
So what brings me here today is a big building that has been used for commercial restaurants, check-out, and under 49 people.
So I rented this property as a check-out restaurant, believing that zoning was not a problem because this use has been active since 1995.
But I was not found anywhere when I dropped off for zoning permit.
Copy was informing that I had to legalize zoning because it was never recorded.
We have attachment copy of flyers and mailing to community also.
We met with the community of Rico.
They give us the support.
So all my lenses are update.
I have cameras in a location.
We police departments always have access to them.
Lighting online if you drive a location.
Commercial pick up and clean up dumpster weekly when it gets empty.
Sidewalks get clean daily.
we employ people from our community so today we ask the cba also approve this only

Thank you, Chair Bergman. Ian Hegarty for the Philadelphia City Planning Commission.
Members of the board, this is a special exception, and this proposed special exception will not cause
detrimental impacts to the neighborhood beyond what normally might be expected for this use.

21 41 east ann street zen jin is the attorney somerset neighbors for better living letter of
support councilman squilla letter of non-opposition mr jen's been promoted to
The panelists, he should be rejoining shortly.
Good morning.
Mr. Jin, you've already been sworn to state your name.
Jin Jin for the applicant.
Mr. Holloman has a few questions.
Counselor, do you agree to the reading of the refusal and stipulate to his accuracy?
According to our records, you have submitted all of the required documents. Is that correct?
That is correct. Please proceed. Thank you. I'm going to share with the board the
documentation we previously submitted. It should be up before the board at this time.
This application, we have submitted the refusal, the support letter from the community organization,
petitioning support, as well as related plans and photographs. This application is for a
legalization of an existing two-family dwelling at this particular location. My client actually
purchased the location some time ago, and it came with the two units already presented and existing
in the property. Somerset neighbors met with us and it was voted in support primarily because
majority of the neighbors are aware that this is in fact the situation with this property for many
years. They were not aware whether it was legalized at any point. However, since my client
have acquired it, he has taken care of the property, kept it clean, and generally has
a great relationship with the neighborhood and the neighbors. And as such, he received strong
support from the neighbors for his legalization request. As this stands, the property is already
two units. It is, I'm sorry, the photographs tend to shrink when we move it. So as you can see from
the front, the property looks like any other property. I do want to point out also that the
the next door property is also a multifamily. And on the other side, it is a storage garage. And
again, another property that is not used as a single family as well on the other side.
So this property has existing two units, one accessed, they're both accessed through the
