Board of Appeals: reschedules, jurisdiction grant and penalty reduction among Jan. 14 actions
Summary
At its Jan. 14, 2009 meeting the Board of Appeals rescheduled two appeals, granted jurisdiction for a tree-permit appeal at 3575 Geary Boulevard, and approved a department-requested penalty reduction for an appeal concerning 33 Francis Street; votes on administrative calendar items were unanimous or recorded as noted.
The Board of Appeals took several administrative and calendaring actions at its Jan. 14, 2009 meeting, including rescheduling appeals, granting jurisdiction on a jurisdictional request, and approving a department-requested penalty reduction.
- Reschedules: The board voted to move Appeal No. 07-132 (2220 Castro Street) to the Feb. 11, 2009 calendar and to move Appeal No. 008-161 to the Jan. 21 calendar. Both rescheduling motions passed by recorded votes (3–0), with Vice President Fung and Commissioner Peterson absent for at least some tallies as noted in the record.
- Penalty reduction (Item 8): The department informed the board it consented to reduce the penalty on Appeal No. 08166 (Solar Zano v. DBI, 33 Francis Street) to two times the regular fee when the work predated the current ownership. Lawrence Kornfield, Chief Building Inspector, explained the building code permits an administrative reduction in such cases. Commissioner Mandelmann moved to accept the reduction; the motion passed 4–0.
- Jurisdiction request (Addendum Item 4A): The board accepted a jurisdictional request for DPW Order No. 177774 at 3575 Geary Boulevard after hearing from Donald Lusty, the project manager for the 150-unit affordable senior project, and from Carla Short of DPWBUF. The board granted jurisdiction and created a new 15-day appeal period (vote 4–0).
These administrative matters were recorded in the minutes and the board moved on to rehearing requests and contested permit settlements later in the meeting.
