We got them, I think, a day or two later.
And then we were following up with the staff of Council President Johnson because this is his district.
And they told me that they were conferring with the RCO to find out why it was they didn't give us a meeting.
yesterday we found out for the first time that there was a meeting on uh on monday night i
believe or i think it was monday night we were not invited to it so that would have been the rco
meeting we would have we would have uh flired the neighborhood in addition because we already put
out the the mailing that we needed to do from the planning commission uh but we didn't have a date
for the meeting so we wanted to to have a date and then we would flyer uh so we're basically ships
passing through the night we haven't had that kind of conversation um i think um what i would prefer
is that if we could go forward today and then if if you want to hold the vote and have a and have
a an rco meeting happen in the next couple weeks that that um seems to me to be an appropriate
response here. I certainly want to have an RCO meeting, but I don't want the RCO to be delaying
things when this case has, it has been going on for a long time, but it's not because we have
been delaying things. It's because there were issues with, that Al and I, we wanted to address
with Betsy Baldwin, and ultimately, she determined that she couldn't help us. All right. So, Craig,
Greg, we're going to hear the case.
We will hold the vote, and we will try to get this done in the next couple weeks where you can have an RCO meeting, okay?
So I'll call you when your case is ready.
Thank you.

Así que puede proceder a enseñarnos las fotos del proyecto y planos del proyecto.
Ok, muchas gracias. Ya se lo envíe.
Y si puede, puede regresar para atrás al principio y ir un poco más despacio.
Así que esta es la parte afuera de la propiedad, ¿correcto?
Esa es la parte adentro.
Esa es la parte adentro donde están los parques.
but but hillary we only have we're doing that just the yes so yes the parking the
the parking is listed on the application as two existing spaces ok así que el estacionamiento
está listado en la solicitud como en todo espacio existente
y la propiedad corrientemente la está utilizando como un duplex
así que ya un duplex y lo está tratando de legalizar que yo resido en el primer piso y
so yes i live on the first floor and that's why i'm requesting um permission for the second floor
so that i can rent it out wait a minute wait a minute but it's already done it's already
it out to be a duplex right micro pero ya usted terminó el trabajo ya está como un duplex si me
pido perdón por hacerlo antes de antemano y en 10 años for forgiveness for doing it beforehand
hand okay all right all right so show us the first show us the drawings of the first floor
so this is the first floor and it has like washer and dryer and everything
Okay. How many bedrooms in the first floor?
¿Cuántos cuartos en el primer piso?
Dos cuartos.
Two rooms.
Two rooms, one bathroom.
Este es el segundo piso ahora.
And this is the second floor.
How many bedrooms on the second floor?
¿Cuántos cuartos en el segundo piso?
Dos cuartos.
Y un baño.
Two bedrooms and one bathroom.
and how long has it been a duplex like this?
and how long has it been a duplex like this?
like a year
like more or less a year
tell me about when he met with the RCO
he tried two times
you tried to meet with the RCO
you tried to meet with the RCO
yes, I tried to meet with the RCO
yes, I tried two times
So I had two meetings with the RCO.
One of them was declined because of the snow.
but here is one of the meetings that we have with the neighborhood and these are all the signatures
of support from the neighbors could show us that please y si no puede enseñar este la firma por
favor si señor yes they're here just about the people next door the people next door agree with
it y la persona o vecino a su alrededor están de acuerdo con esto y si ellos son soportes
yes so the people that are list on the list they um showed complete support and they even said
that they're available to come to any meeting if they need to come and they were at the second rco
meeting to show support as well all right questions
so 60 um 36 is the uh house that's closest to me and they're on the list
as well and all the ones on the list are closed by
okay questions from the board do both units have access to the rear yard in
si ambas unidades tienen acceso a este la yarda atrás y el estacionamiento sí correcto y es correcto
así que veo los planos para el primero y segundo piso cuáles son los planos para el sótano
so it has the basement has an uh front and back entrance
and the basement is for utilities okay so there's no laundry on site for either unit
y adónde está la lavandería para las unidades los dos a los dos
dentro de cualquier ficción a qué se refiere con los dos
ahí está la lavandería y dentro del apartamento
y si puedes señalar a dónde está eso en los planos
and also what's the point of what's the point of the full bathroom in the basement
if it's just for utility permitan me permitan un momento un momento por favor y cuál es el
uso de un baño entero en el sótano si es solamente para utilidades como fue la pregunta
The interpreter will repeat,
¿Cuál es el uso de un baño entero en el sótano
si solamente es para utilidades?
No, lo que pasa es que ya estaba
cuando yo compré la propiedad.
So the bathroom was already there
whenever I purchased the property in the basement.
Solamente arreglé las paredes.
I just fixed the walls.
Okay, the question is,
could he point out
where the washer and dryer is on the drawing?
Ahora en los planos, ¿puedes señalarnos dónde está la lavadora y secadora?
Aquí, en esta parte.
¿Estás able to see it there? It says laundry.
¿Qué es eso?
¿Estás able to see it on the plants? It says laundry.
Al lado del baño.
Al lado del baño.
¿Algo más de las preguntas?
questions questions from our attorney hillary emerson
so just so i have a couple of things
first can you show the parking plan again
Así que este es Hillary Emerson, que es la abogada.
Y si puede enseñarnos dos cosas.
Si nos puede enseñar primeramente los planos de estacionamiento.
Correcto.
Thank you.
On this plan, it looks like you are proposing multiple parking spaces,
but the refusal says two parking spaces.
parking and this is the interpreter can i let them know that if a party is speaking the other
No, dile que dos parking spaces.
Permítame, and this is the interpreter.
Can I let them know?
party cannot be speaking because it's interfering asi que si están hablando por favor no pueden
hablar yo necesito escuchar lo que están diciendo por favor manténgase en silencio en lo que yo
escucho you can continue okay no i just wanted to i was a little bit confused because the refusal
So the proposal says there's two existing parking spaces and this appears that they're proposing six parking spaces.
Así que no está muy claro porque la denegación dice que solamente hay dos estacionamientos existentes
y eso como aparece en la propuesta y en la propuesta de usted están pidiendo seis estacionamientos.
so we're just asking for two parking spaces one for the first floor and one for the second
okay um and then i just wanted to note that the fence that you have in front of the parking
it looks like it's non-compliant so you will need to um get a permit for that um it's it's about
six feet tall and it's completely opaque which is not permitted
así que también acerca de este la cerca el frente del estacionamiento aparece
que no está en cumplimiento usted va a necesitar un permiso para eso porque
hace seis pies alto y está completamente opaca y eso no está permitido aunque lo
voy a hacer y también este la petición que usted enseñó nosotros nos recibimos una copia de eso
