Show all pagesMs. Weiss asked if they should vote on this application first before listening to Mr. Ben-Zvi’s application. Chairman Neuer said no because the request to subpoena financial records relates to this application and it is important that they take care of this procedural matter. Tal Ben-Zvi approached the podium and stated that he lives at 5 Allsop Court. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Ben-Zvi if he received the subpoenas that he issued for him for documents; he replied yes that he served Mr. Williams and received the documents he requested. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Ben-Zvi if there is a supplemental request from him for subpoenas for financial records; he replied yes. Chairman Neuer asked Mr. Ben-Zvi to state the reasons for his request for the subpoenas. Mr. Ben-Zvi said there are four reasons for the request. Mr. Ben-Zvi said the first reason is that the applicant’s 990 report that they submitted to the IRS in 2015 showed that their total assets were less than $50,000. Mr. Ben-Zvi said that it was his contention in this hearing that the delay for the applicant taking down the structure was because of lack of funding. He said full disclosure of their finances was required in order for his expert to provide testimony regarding their lack of funding. Mr. Ben-Zvi said that the second reason was for impeachment. He said that Anita Thani is listed on the application ZB-16-01 as a trustee and she is not a trustee. Mr. Ben-Zvi said that Mr. Williams was aware of this and did not disclose that. He said that he believes that the financial records can disclose that. Mr. Ben-Zvi said that the third reason is because there is false information in the corporate disclosure regarding the nature of the property owner, Sun King. He said that there is a document from the New Jersey Treasury Department showing different facts regarding that corporation. Mr. Ben-Zvi said the last reason is because in March he requested a subpoena for Kumar Mahtani whose address on the application was listed as 23 Laurel Avenue. He said that was not the correct address because the house at that address was vacant. Mr. Ben-Zvi said that he requested a correct address and was supplied an address in the United Arab Emirates that was also incorrect. He said that the financial report submitted to the IRS shows that Mr. Mahtani has an address in Essex County New Jersey and he could have been served

He said that the financial report submitted to the IRS shows that Mr. Mahtani has an address in Essex County New Jersey and he could have been served the subpoena.

Chairman Neuer asked Mr, Ben-Zvi if all of the statements he just made on the record are under oath; he replied yes. 19
