Building Code Board of Appeals Meeting Minutes (DATE) Page 14 of 27 signed. Gollin continued, it says the valuation was $3500. Root stated the application was for two squares at 1655 Cannon Circle for $3500, which does not compute ---that is not what was happening at the property. If were no inspections done, then the permit expired. Gollin asked, was this permit abandoned? Root continued, work did not take place during the 180 days. Gollin asked, what determines the cost of the permit? Root stated it depends of the valuation, which is labor + material. Gollin stated, (inaudible). Root replied, as far as we know there was no midroof or final inspection on this permit. Root continued, after 180 days the permit becomes abandoned under the code. Gollin referred to the Amended Show Cause. Gollin also referred to violations to the Municipal Code, starting with 5.12.090; i.e., the contractor shall be responsible for all work in the contract performed either by contractor or sub -contractor. Root stated that Severy Creek violated that section of the code because there was no control of Mr. Louden's sub -contractors at 641 St Andrews and the work was not compete. Gollin referred to Municipal Code 5.12.100-1 i.e., all contractor's must observe safety measures and protect the workers and the public. Root stated that the deck was unsafe. Gollin continued with Municipal Code 5.12.120; i.e., it is unlawful if you do not obtain permit and inspections when required. Root stated that is a violation as well, for the siding and the deck at 641 St Andrews Lane. Gollin continued, Municipal Code 5.12.130; i.e., it is unlawful for a contractor to abandon a contractor's undertaking. Root replied, at 641 St. Andrews the felt paper on the house was good up to 14 days but was left on the roof for 60+ days. The deck was abandoned because the deck was torn apart and not completed. Gollin asked, the city of Louisville has adopted the 2018 IRC? Root replied, correct. Gollin referred to IRC 105.1, permits required for roof, siding, deck, and IRC 109.1, requiring inspections. Gollin referred again to Municipal Code 5.12.130. Root stated the permit at Fordyce Auto Center was abandoned, plus there were no inspections and the permit was expired. No work had even begun —that is abandonment. Gollin asked Root to tell the board why he also made the allegation of fraud and misrepresentation. Root stated, the misrepresentation came from the extension request on behalf of the homeowner of 641 St. Andrews. Root continued, at Fordyce Auto the valuation of the work that was reported plus what he saw and heard did not represent what damage was really done. Gollin asked Root, do you have a problem with Severy Creek profiting from the Fordyce Auto Center property? Root replied, I do. Gollin asked, what is the basis of the city's request to this board? Root replied, he has received many calls from Severy Creek's subcontractor's saying he has not paid them, and will put liens on Louisville residents' homes. Root continues, this is the second time Severy Creek has been in front of the board. Both times in front of the BCBOA, it has been with Severy Creek. Root continued, he had a list of nine Severy Creek permits that are expired/abandoned permits ranging from 2018- present. 14
