Unfortunately they didnt do that to that request was not made even though that expectation was created. Regarding the bbn, that is a service we provide. You can request any specific parcel in the city that you be notified when certain types of applications are filed. If you look at the language it is to be notified when an application the filed, not for providing notification when a decision letter is granted. It doesnt mean it could be worded that way. That could be requested and we may accept a bbn that requested that, but the language states we receive notification when we receive certain permits to notify those parties that we received this application. That application did not mention anything about using the bbn to be made aware of any specific decisions on a projebt and as was referenced we dont have a variance tracking system online. There is no public space where someone with track when a variance decision letter is issued. They would have either have to request a copy of it a
Everybody was getting along fine with the new house. Instruction was well advanced and the project architect went to the Planning Department counter with a set of plans for a revision, is what he called it, a new permit revising the previous permit adding a roof deck and skylight and saw over the counter approval of this. It was brought to mr. Omakaro, but many knowledgeable architectings might go to the planning counter at that time if they were trying to get approval for something that might be questionable or sketchy.

Its very unfortunate that the project sponsor sought to permit it in this way and frankly, im kind of baff

Its very unfortunate that the project sponsor sought to permit it in this way and frankly, im kind of baffled by the argument made by the project sponsors council saying that the neighborhood discussions were conducting in good faith and that the fact that they didnt abide by those agreements is a civil matter. Ive done this kind of negotiation with rubins office for 27 years and never heard something quite as cynical as that, that people should stand by what they say theyre going to do and neighbors fulfill

There is no public space where someone with track when a variance decision letter is issued. They would have either have to request a copy of it ahead of time or once it is issued contact the department and request a copy. So in terms of notification following the code that was literally applied but the planner agreed to send a copy of the decision letter to the requester and that didnt happen until much after the appeal period. Ill available for any questions you may have. Is that common practice for your staff to provide that level of service . For var
[inaudible] hearing before you where there was evidence that the department had caused and you relied on that. Youve gone down this road before and you have been able to decide that discretion.

The requester asked that the board take jurisdiction over applicant holder which was issued on a
