Building Code Board of Appeals Meeting Minutes 05/0212019 Page 6 of 8 states, the Hine affidavit states Severy Creek Roofing completed the roof without a permit, then asked for payment, the realized Ted asked for a permit —then came to the city for a permit. Root states it's these violations, over and over again, is why the city is here tonight. --it's not because the inspectors don't like Steve Louden. Root states there has been a big change for the better, but overall permits had not been pulled, nor inspections called, which in turn, creates a hardship for the residents. Gstalder points out that what Root says, in regard to Hines, is hearsay. Questions from the Board to Licensee: Novik asks Louden of 100 permits pulled in 2018-19 in Louisville and how many other in other cities? Louden replies less than 30. Knapp asks Louden where his subcontractors live. Louden replies -Denver area. Board Member Final Questions: Berry restates the entire packet is Exhibit A. Knapp asks- who is Isaias Huizar? Root replies -he is our full time senior roof inspector. Knapp asked a question regarding the office at which Huizar letter. Root replies the Louden situation was discussed several times in the point Root called to meet with Louden. Louden, Root, and inspector Randy Dewitz met mid -March of 2019. Root states they discussed with Louden what was taking place in the field. Louden agreed to start pulling permits. Root reviewed the process for inspections. Root stated this occurred before the affidavit was submitted to the city. Knapp asks have things improved since. Root replies there is a huge increase in compliance. Berry asks when the date of the Louden meeting was. Root says first part of March. Louden concurs. Novik asks under normal conditions what is the turnaround time for inspections. Root replies, mid -roof inspections were always next day due to exposure of roof. Novik asks what the turnaround time is for a permit to be issued. Root replies on a normal basis it would be over the counter, during the post hail storm up to 30 days. Closing Statements: Root states the City is here on behalf of the resident. Hine's affidavit in which Severy Creek completed the roof without a permit, then asked for payment, then realized Ted asked for a permit then came to the city for a permit. Plus the work was substandard and pictures of additional drip edge led the city to look at other issues with Louden. Root states the contractor should not continue to work in this manner. Gstalder states Louden has deep roots in the city and most of his work is in Louisville. Gstalder states that the work Louden has started would be messy if his license is suspended. Louden was moving too quick and his subs were moving too quick. Louden understands the problem and is going out to the job before calling inspections. Louden puts good roofs on and does not abandon people. Gstalder states he hopes you find it not necessary to revoke/suspend Severy Creek's license.
