To begin with I want to clarify what actions were taken on which permits on September 14, 2009. They are as follows: 1.

Permits EL08 -1541 and EL08 -1547 through EL08 -1555 were also extended an additional 180 days, through March 29, 2010, per the Building Official. 3. On the other hand, permits EL08 -1540 and EL08 -1542 through EL08 -1546 were cancelled per your request on September 2, 2009. Your current request to rescind the cancellation of the permits has been reviewed and denied by the Acting Building Official. The actions that were taken on September 14, 2009 stand.

EL08 -1540 through EL08 -1546 Dear Jennifer Marshall I have submitted a letter dated 8/21/09 requesting extensions to permit nos. D08 -261, D08 -262 and EL08 -1540 through EL08 -1555. At that time I asked city policy of refunding permit fees paid if no work under the permits were done as yet. You informed me that city will refund 80% of permit fees paid after deducting 20% for administrative expenses. You further informed me that I will have to request refund through a formal letter. That is the reason I submitted a letter dated 8/26/09 requesting refund of permit fees paid. Since then I have received a letter from the city informing me that city will not refund any portion of permit fees since refund request was submitted past 180 days from the date permit fees were paid. You did not informed me either on 8/21/09 or 8/26/09 that city will not refund permit fees past 180 days. Since I will not obtain any refund of permit fees paid I am withdrawing my letter dated 8/26/09 and consider the request I made in the letter dated 8/21/09 that city extend the permits for Permit Nos. EL08 -1540 through EL08 -1555 in case I obtain funds to complete the work in the future. Sincerely yours, 1/1""V c/lik- /CPA/ Chul M.

The Building Official has reviewed your letter and considered your request. It has been determined that Permit EL08 -1541 will not be cancelled. This determination was made due to the fact that inspection approvals on other permits for this same unit were contingent upon this permit being issued. Consequently, the expiration date has extended through March 29, 2010. Permits EL08 -1540 and EL08 -1542 through EL08 -1546 have been cancelled. There will be no refund given for these permits per Ordinance Number 2215 (a highlighted copy has been included). Per Section 1.F, "Refund of any permit fee paid shall be requested by the original permittee in writing and not later than 180 days after the date of fee payment." The payment for these permits was received December 31, 2008, well over 180 days ago which makes them ineligible for refund.
