TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGES_ ,7j41.. DATE: SEPTEMBER 21, 1999 SUBJECT: 7646 NEWMARK AVENUE-REHEARING The subject property consists of an owner-occupied single family dwelling with a detached garage which consists of an unpermitted conversion on the lower level and an unpermitted unit on the upper level. The property is zoned 12-1. The aforementioned garage was constructed with benefit of permits in 1983 as a 525 square foot single story structure. This property was previously before the Appeals Board on August 24, 1999. At that time the property owner Ms. Bohne requested the unpermitted conversions be allowed to remain while an addition to the dwelling was being constructed. The Appeals Board directed staff to meet with the property owner on site and perform a more in-depth inspection of the interior of the garage. The purpose of the inspection is to determine if any hazardous conditions exist and to compile a cost estimate to demolish the unpermitted conversion on the lower level and to legalize/convert the unpermitted unit on the upper level to a usable storage room. On August 31, 1999, the Building Official, Steve Bailey met with the property owner on the site. Ms. Bohne signed a consent to enter form and permitted an inspection of the garage interior. The property owner had exposed a portion of the unpermitted construction. The Building Official observed the drainage system for the bathroom was unvented. When the owner was questioned about the location of the vent she indicated she did not know but would ask her husband. The owner phoned the following day and stated the reason the vent had not been properly extended to the exterior was because it would possibly alert the City of an illegal installation. The electrical system in the bathroom was not functioning and therefore was unable to be tested. The bathroom lacks the required ground fault protection on the electrical outlet. REHAB AGENDA SEP 281999 ITEM No. -it-- A. The property owner has requested the storage area on the upper level be allowed to remain. The floor system does not meet the minimum structural design loads for storage areas. Also observed during the inspection was the installation of laundry facilities on the building exterior which includes a gas line, electrical and drainage piping installation. The laundry facilities are situated under an unpermitted patio overhang which is attached to the southern wall of the garage and extends to within approximately (6")six inches of the south property line. A revised list of defects was compiled and mailed to the property owner. On September 2,1999,Ms.Bonne phoned and said she was prepared to submit plans for the addition to the dwelling. To date,plans have not been submitted for plan check. A notice of hearing was mailed and posted on the property on August 26, 1999. CITY BUILDING OFFICIAL'S RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the Appeals Board find the property substandard and order that all substandard conditions be removed or corrected by October 28, 1999. However, if the required permits are obtained for the corrective work and sufficient progress is achieved by October 28, 1999, the abatement date may be extended to November 28, 1999; or, if plans for the addition to the dwelling are submitted by October 28, 1999,the abatement date may be extended to allow sufficient time for the plan checking process.However,plans must be approved and permits obtained no later than November 28, 1999. The correction of the unsafe conditions in the bathroom area on the lower level must be completed by November 28, 1999 to allow temporary use during the construction of the addition. The addition shall be completed by March 28, 2000 at which time all outstanding substandard conditions shall be abated. The aforementioned shall be completed prior to final approval and occupancy of the new addition. August 31, 1999 LIST OF DEFECTS (REVISED) SUBSTANDARD CONDITIONS GARAGE 1.
