TAI: I can wrap it up anytime, because I sent you <br />RAFFIPIY: —And then we're going to move into public testimony. <br />TAI: Okay, sure, I sent you the <br />RAFFIPIY: —Thank you, sir. <br />TAI: very long, those letters was not sent to the public as far as I know. <br />YEE: Mr. Tai, just for the record, did you have experience building, developing affordable <br />housing prior to purchasing this property? <br />TAI: No, I don't but I didn't know that HHFDC had that requirement. They have at least one. <br />YEE: SecondI just lost it. It'll come to me later. <br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you. We're going to move into public testimony. <br />CLARKSON: I have a question for staff. <br />RAFFIPIY: Go ahead, Mr. Clarkson. <br />CLARKSON: Related to this issue.

However, <br />when Mr. Tai applied for the Change of Zone from RM -2.5 to RM -1.5, at that time, he had <br />represented that he couldn't make the numbers work with the 2.5, that he needed more density in <br />order to do the affordable housing project. So, there weren't conditions limiting it to affordable <br />housing but he had represented at the time that that what he was going to build. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />14 <br />
