Thanks Jake.
I cannot believe we forgot about the outdoor bar... What a concept a lifetime ago that is definitely not happening.
Regarding the gas permit/plan, everything matches with the exception of the BBQ and fire pit being removed. The
house, barn and pool equipment are all the same. Looking forward to getting this closed once we can schedule the
“special inspection.”

Scott,
I removed a couple staff members just to avoid cluttering up their inboxes with the details, but attached
are the permits you requested, BPLB2018-0106 & BRES2018-0184. The PDF of the plumbing permit
includes the approved plan, so you can verify it matches and like I mentioned, we can just conduct final
inspections for that gas piping permit as well as the electrical service permit through a "special inspection"
permit.
The detached accessory structure application BRES2018-0184 was never actually pulled, there was only
an application made but no further action. I have attached a snippet of the floor plan of that submittal, it
looks to be a pool bar building.
I think that should address your concerns in the email below, and we'll look forward to moving forward on
the electrical and trailer installation permits.

Good morning Jake,
Thanks for the thorough email, this really helps keeping us on the same page.
We definitely want to get all these items cleaned up as we work towards bringing the property up to code. As you may
or may not know we are in some substantial and complicated litigation(s) with the original owner’s trust/estate related
to building the home without a permit and also with Title for the home being constructed on an existing easement. It’s
been a lengthy processes and we’re not sure home much longer it may last and what the outcome will be. However, in
speaking with engineers and architects it appears the inevitable is the existing house will need to come down with a new
one built somewhere else on property. I mention this as it may impact how we go about the future clearance of some of
these outstanding permits below.
BELC2015-0096 – 600a Electrical, This was before we owned the property (we closed Dec 2017) so I
have no history on it. The same 600amp panel and electrical distribution (besides from adding the pool)
is all the same so we can either inspect the existing, or this could be an item that will change once a new
house is designed.
BPLB2018-0106 – New gas line, can someone please send me a copy of the permit. I thought this was
closed out when the plumber completed the work and SoCal Gas turned on the meter. I hope the plumber
is still around and I’ll work with him to get the final inspection. The good news it we removed some gas
connections (ie BBQ and firepit) since the original install so now the gas just services the house, pool
equipment and barn.
3
BRES2018-0184 – We owned the property at this time, but I have no idea what this would have been
for. Can I get a copy of the permit so I can see who pulled the permit?
BTTR2018-0002 – replaced with different permit, closed
BELC2018-0113 – Front Gate / Trailer Electrical – waiting for electrician to complete another project
then he can finish ours. Hoping within 3 weeks.
BTTR2020-0004 – Trailers – working to gather information and find contractor to pull permit. Hoping to
complete ASAP
Thanks again and I look forward to working together to get these items resolved.

Scott,
Thanks for reaching out. It sounds like you are making some good headway with the trailer installations
and I would like to go over the project as a whole as there are a lot of moving parts here and want to
make sure we are all on the same page and that we all have accurate information. There are quite a few
permits associated with your property, and in the past we have discussed specific parts of the projects at
your property, so I wanted to go over the various permits and give you a comprehensive, all-inclusive
itemized list of all of the current permit activity associated with your address. Please see the screenshot
below from our permitting software showing all of the permits applied for in the past 5 years. Below the
screenshot I have listed the permits and their current status.
4
BELC2015-0096 - This permit was pulled in 2015 for a new 600 Ampere main service panel installation.
There was an electrical release inspection conducted and approved for the rough installation in October of
2015, but the final inspection was never scheduled and the permit has since expired.
BELC2018-0113 - This is the current electrical permit issued in November of 2018 initially for the power
to the trailers, but later was updated to include the relocation of the existing meter pedestal and new
branch circuits to the gate motor, irrigation controllers, and permanent RV pedestal. This permit remains
active due to the continued inspection activity.
BPLB2018-0106 - This plumbing permit was issued in August of 2018 for a new polyethylene gas line
throughout property for a future fire pit, BBQ and other existing appliances. An underground plumbing
inspection was conducted and approved shortly after the permit was issued, but again no final inspection
was scheduled and the permit has since expired.
BPOL2018-0083 - This pool/spa permit was finalized in January of this year.
BRES2018-0184 - This permit was applied for in May of 2018 for a 982 sq. ft. detached accessory
structure. One plan check was completed and no resubmittal was made, and the permit application has
since expired.
BTTR2018-0002 - This permit was issued in September of 2018 but no inspections were ever approved
and has expired, although it looks like the scope of this permit were taken up via the current trailer permit
BTTR2020-0004 so no further action is required on this one.
BTTR2020-0004 - This permit is approved with the condition that we get a project valuation and a
licensed contractor registered. Per state law and CSLB guidelines, this contractor must hold either a C-21,
C-47, or B license in order to pull this permit, so Vacation Pools will not be able to pull this permit due to
their license classification.
BWFE2019-0149 - This permit for the new entry gate was finalized at the end of last year and requires
no further action.
In order to clarify the permit statuses I have color-coded the permits above just to provide some ease of
understanding since I know there is a lot of information here. The permits listed above in red are expired
and require further action. The permits listed in green are active and simply must be completed as the
project progresses. The permits listed in blue are finalized and require no further action on your part.
Since work was completed under the gas line permit and the service panel changeout permit and the
permits have been expired for several years, these permits will be retired and a separate "Special
Inspection" permit must be obtained in order to conduct final inspections of both scopes of work. The
permit application for the accessory structure is expired and a new application will be required when the
5
time comes to permit this structure, so no further action is required for this permit aside from obtaining a
new permit for the detached structure when the time comes. The expired trailer permit requires no further
action since the scope was permitted through the new trailer permit BTTR2020-0004.
Moving forward, I would recommend these be your next steps:
1. Work toward issuing the permit for the trailers (BTTR2020-0004) by providing us with the project
valuation and getting a contractor with the proper license classification hired
2. Request an inspection for the underground conduit, rough electrical, and utility connection of the
trailers through the active permit BELC2018-0113
3. Obtain the special inspection permit through our online permitting portal in order to use this permit
as a means to conduct final inspections of the gas line and service panel changeout permits and
get those off of the list
Again I know there is a lot of information here, I think it's as confusing to us as it is to you with all of the
separate permit submittals, but I'd be happy to discuss this further and field any questions or concerns
you may have.
Thank you,

Hi Jake,
I hope all is well. We’re working with Gerald Hampton (Vacation Pools) to wrap up the remaining loose ends at our
property related to the electrical at the entry and trailers. It’s taken us some time to find the trailer connections that the
state (HCD) inspector requested, but we found them and will be working to schedule the change out and reinspection
with the State. The state inspector also approved us to install the electrical connection and HVAC units since he will
need the trailer units energized to complete his inspection.

From the City’s standpoint I think we just have the following two open permits that relate to this work. I know there is
information needed on the trailer permit which we will get to you so the permit can be issued. But in terms of the
actual work should we schedule some time to meet on‐site to make sure we’re all clear on any specifics before calling
for inspection? I just want to make sure we get it right the first time and don’t waste anyone’s time. Let me know.
Electrical – BELC2018‐0113
Trailers – BTTR2019‐0004
Gerald, if you have any questions related to the information Jake needs for the permit to be issued, please feel free to
reach out.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need any additional information.
Thanks,
Scott
