HARRIS: Good morning. CARR SMITH: Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? HARRIS: Yes, I do. CARR SMITH: Thank you. Please state your name and who you are representing. HARRIS: My name is Roger Harris. I'm representing BNP Paribas, the landowner applicant, which is a bank in New York at this point. CARR SMITH: Did you receive the Planning Director's background recommendation report? HARRIS: Yes. CARR SMITH: Okay, and do you agree with the recommendations and conditions of approval? HARRIS: Yes. CARR SMITH: In total? HARRIS: Yes, they are acceptable. CARR SMITH: Do you have any further comments or want to share anything with us? HARRIS: No,just that the bank acquired this at the downturn, and it is a, and then cooperated with the County in a friendly condemnation to pick up the La`aloa Avenue through the parcel. So the applicants have been working with the County and working toward the end. We had a traffic study done that said it could handle up to 43 additional units without any further traffic improvements in the vicinity, and that's one factor supporting the downzoning. And the other factor is, of course,the water units. It's a slight possibility that there could be a few more water units picked up, but in any case right now the total development allowed by the water units would be 37 lots or houses, and if a few more were picked up, it could go up to 43, and that's, the zoning recommendation allows for that. So we'd appreciate a favorable recommendation. This current zoning allows 275 units on the property, so it's a major downzoning and it will be much more low-density than the general neighborhood. We also have met with Public Works, and we'll not allow any water, you know, any increase in water flowing off the property onto other properties. Thank you very much. 3 EXHIBIT B
