The certificate of appropriateness were granted. Supervisor it allowed alterations to be made and they were made . Yes. The other thing in regard to the rear yard modification argument, the attorney for the appellants mentioned there was no year yard modification. Its my understanding there was based on lou how it came out of the planning commission. How was the rear yard modification decided . We werent a party to the approvals in terms of the variances and didnt bring the planner but if the question is was the variance legal, i think the Zoning Administrator has the letter ready to approve this variance but hasnt issued it yet pending this appeal. So its going to the appropriate channels though. Correct. Supervisor that concludes my questions, president yee. I dont see anybody else on the roster and ill invite members of the public in opposition to come forward. Youll have up to two minutes to speak. I see none. Thank you very much. There are no speakers for this. I will close the co
Restriction that you could only rebuild it within five years to the same size as it was originally there. Its not a prohibition from selling the property, its not a prohibition from rebuilding on the rear lot. It is, however, something that is germane to just how this property has been handled. Cy would agree uphold decision 5year moratorium that it can be rebuilt to the same size or sold in its current state with that restriction. It is an appropriate course for this unfortunate circumstance. President mccarthy ill close out my comments. I concur my commissioners here.

Its a shame really because i do believe you would have got this emergency demolition as i see on the building. I think you would have got all the substantial service that need to get this done. I understand t
Able to rebuild the property back to its past condition, whatever it was before the fire. As a result, its going to have to sit there for five years, the way it is, with nothing but a foundation thats probably not up to code anyway. You have to tear the whole thing down and shes asking that 5year moratorium be lifted so she can sell the property or its going to sit there for five years. Her financial situation, and because of her age and proximity to where she lives in relation to the property. Shes owned this place since 1988. Shes maintained it. This is a sole source of income. It is a burden to have to go through this process. Especially since it wasnt her fault, were asking it the fire moratorium not be imposed on this property as a result. Thank you. Hi, i represent the demolition company. We have been in business peninsula hauling for the past 15 years doing this. We had no intentions of doing anything outside of what the city requirements were. With regards to demolition. We kno
