thing that remains would be essentially like having all of the interiors kind of completed, you
<br /> know, the furnishing and, you know, the soft things, I think like you know, it's like when you
<br /> build a house; when you build a house, you have the house all kind of like completed, I mean,
<br /> you know, like the basic frame and all the things in, but it'll take you a long time to put in the
<br /> cabinets and all that stuff, sometimes half as long as like the whatever you've got. So I think use
<br /> those kind of like, you know, like lenses to determine substantial.
<br /> CARR SMITH: Yeah, very good, thank you - - -
<br /> ANDREWS:
<br /> - -ANDREWS: Can I chime in?
<br /> CARR SMITH: Jessica, sure.
<br /> ANDREWS: I don't know if you want it to be, if you want to consider in the assessment of
<br /> substantial completion tying it to inspections, construction inspections, that are done through the
<br /> course of the construction process; there is framing inspection, there is foundation inspection. So
<br /> I don't know if that would be anything
<br /> CARR SMITH: Did you have a suggestion?
<br /> ANDREWS: I mean, foundation inspection is—well, that's been done actually—so maybe
<br /> framing or—frame inspection would be one step to tie it to.
<br /> CARR SMITH: That's not substantial enough in my opinion.
<br /> ANDREWS: Yeah, yeah, that I mean there is certainly, between there is framing inspection,
<br /> framing inspection and final inspection, there is actually series of, you know, electrical,
<br /> plumbing inspections, so.
<br /> CARR SMITH: Okay, all right, so what Sid has recommended is that we add that language to
<br /> item number 2, condition number 2, correct?
<br /> VITOUSEK: Yeah, and I think that the point about having framing inspection be the cutoff for
<br /> that 2025 date is reasonable
<br /> CARR SMITH: Really?
<br /> VITOUSEK: I think the developer can get behind that, and I think that's reasonable and
<br /> definitive where after framing inspection, if they still have more finish work to do, and perhaps
<br /> they can have a time extension to do that, but without framing that will hold them to it—
<br /> although,
<br /> talthough, you know, we do want to be careful and not make a big problem into a bigger problem.
<br /> But I think, you know, I don't know, I'm inclined to leave it to the discretion of the Commission
<br /> and indicate that, you know, substantial completion, and if they can look at it, and if the
<br /> developer can come in and convince the Commission that they are doing what they said they
<br /> were going to do and its definitive proof that there's people working on the project, to me that
