CARR SMITH: And in addition to that, the conditions say that they have the right to come back
<br /> for more time, if they need it. So what Mr. Van Pernis is talking about is hypothetical, and it's
<br /> not what we are approving or disapproving today.
<br /> VITOUSEK: So, are there any other questions from the, for the applicants from any other
<br /> commissioners? (No audible response)
<br /> I have a question. I would like to know if you guys believe that the fair share contributions that
<br /> are being requested are overly burdensome on your ability to create a subdivision for your
<br /> family.
<br /> MRS. YOUNG: Yes
<br /> MR. YOUNG: Unless—yes—it's a little hefty. When we looked into it in the beginning, it was
<br /> around, I believe, 12, and they said it was not even too far before that it was 9. And it was kind
<br /> of funny she said that because I was like, well, 9 would have been better. But, yeah, yes, to
<br /> answer your question, yeah, it is a little hefty, but, you know, we have faith that, we are, you
<br /> know, we are going to put our best foot forward and be able to do it whether, you know, it's high
<br /> or not. But if it, if it, you know, if something could be adjusted, that would be, we would be
<br /> extremely grateful. I mean,just to help us get through everything, because there is not only the,
<br /> you know, we have to install water meters and, you know, I've talked to a lot of people that have
<br /> done this through our business, through the gallery, and they say you never know what can come
<br /> up, you know, there can be unforeseen things that,you know, cost more money. So, you know,
<br /> we try to budget, make sure that we are prepared for everything, and we are moving forward,
<br /> looking good, but, yes, to answer that question, if something could be adjusted to where, you
<br /> know, it's a little, not such, not so steep, we would really appreciate that, absolutely.
<br /> VITOUSEK: And, I mean,just to completely clarify, there is absolutely nothing that we can do
<br /> as a commission in order to adjust that. That would have to be
<br /> MR. YOUNG: Okay
<br /> VITOUSEK: from the County Council that would be your next step.
<br /> MR. YOUNG: Okay.
<br /> VITOUSEK: But I just want to have that considered, because, you know, when we are looking
<br /> at creating affordable housing, allowing people who have lived here, grown up here, to stay on
<br /> the land, to provide land for their families, I think that's a consideration that needs to be
<br /> discussed.
<br /> MRS. YOUNG: Absolutely.
<br /> MR. YOUNG: No, absolutely.
