Board denies jurisdiction request over 690 Douglas stop‑work‑order release
Summary
The Board of Appeals denied a jurisdiction request Oct. 20 for 690 Douglas St., finding no notice requirement and voting 5–0 to refuse the late‑filed jurisdiction claim.
The Board of Appeals on Oct. 20 denied a jurisdiction request seeking review of a stop‑work‑order release for property at 690 Douglas St.
Kenneth Kollmeyer appeared for Tim Stevens and argued the notice about the release was received late and asked the board to accept a late filing. A representative for the property owner (Kapsack) and Planning staff disputed the claim that planning had failed to notify the requester and cited email exchanges indicating the jurisdiction request had been prepared and issued on Oct. 14. Planning staff confirmed no notice is required for the stop‑work order in question. Citing these facts, Commissioner Garcia moved to deny the jurisdiction request; the board voted 5–0 to deny jurisdiction.
Why it matters: Denying jurisdiction leaves the Department of Building Inspection’s stop‑work‑order release in place and prevents the late‑filing appellant from reopening the matter before the board.
What’s next: The matter is rescheduled per earlier party agreement in that item only when applicable; no further action recorded by the board at this hearing.
