FUKE: The only thing, you know, to which I would say that, you know, they haven't really like
<br /> incorporated the value engineering aspect into the design, so, you know, they kind of like worked
<br /> a little bit`okole backwards, you know, in the sense that they did the design, and then they got
<br /> the plan approval, and then they started to do the value engineering to see like whether, you
<br /> know, it becomes, you know, like workable, and that's when their hands were thrown up and
<br /> said no it's not workable. So this is why now they are doing the value engineering and using the
<br /> value engineering as a basis to come up with the plan approval.
<br /> VITOUSEK: Okay, and so they are thinking that that's going to save them time on the design of
<br /> the actual construction plans?
<br /> FUKE: I'm just kind of like providing a little bit more leeway, but, you know, if you are very
<br /> aggressive, probably it would be you know, if I were the developer, I would want to kind of
<br /> fast-track it, much more than kind of like waiting until the last minute, because if the market—
<br /> VITOUSEK:
<br /> arketVITOUSEK: Yeah
<br /> FUKE: —and, you know, you have all of the thing out there, you know, you just as soon - - -
<br /> and build it, because otherwise you just have vacant property; you are paying real property taxes
<br /> on it, and that's generating no revenue.
<br /> VITOUSEK: Yeah, so basically, with the schedule that you just told us, they are going to be
<br /> ready to commence construction in June of 2024. Is that right?
<br /> FUKE: Start no later than June 30, 2024, because, again,just working backwards, it's probably
<br /> going to be like, you know, like 12 to 18 months construction window.
<br /> VITOUSEK: Yeah, yeah, so that's giving them 17 months to complete construction?
<br /> FUKE: Yeah.
<br /> VITOUSEK: That, I mean, that's going to be really tight with a project of this size. You know,
<br /> I feel like if we can condense it on the front end a little bit, that would make me feel a lot better.
<br /> The idea being that once that they, once they get substantially moving and going, I think that
<br /> there should be a little more leeway, you know, if that's partially completed, I don't see us
<br /> pulling the plug on, or wanting to pull the plug on it, making a derelict structure grow to being a
<br /> bigger derelict structure. So I would want to have a little more leeway in completion of the
<br /> construction and a little less leeway in planning in the amount of time it would take so that if we
<br /> can't meet those upfront deadlines, we can finally move forward
<br /> FUKE: Okay
<br /> VITOUSEK: —and I do want to take this opportunity to also discuss alternatives or how we can
<br /> move forward in the event that we don't make compliance with any schedules or if we determine
<br /> at this meeting that it's been long enough. I want to ask if the county has considered a similar
<br /> condemnation proceedings as was done on Honl's Beach Park where there was an existing SMA
