VITOUSEK: But what, what would be the appropriate language, Mr. Fuke, that you would for our condition that would not entirely eliminate visual impacts but significantly reduce and mitigate visual impacts on Life Care to allow for a view from Life Care of the ocean? STRAW: Chair, if I can jump in real quick to make a comment? This is Jack Straw with Pacifica. I don't know that we are in a position where we can commit to something like that right here, because we haven't looked it back in depth to see what those impacts are and whether or not that would be necessary changes to the plan designs. We would need to look at that first. I don't know that we are in a position where we can definitively say yes I can agree to that today. VITOUSEK: Commissioner Van Pernis. VAN PERNIS: Yes. The statement, or commitment, to consult means they can consult and refuse or consult and impose whatever conditions they want. So I don't think that Mr. Fuke's suggestion is going, shouldn't go anywhere. I think that the multiple concerns that's left up to the planning director, he'll wait the planning director to make the decision, we also can't rely upon that as preserving the view planes. So I think that we need some sort of language that the view planes will be to some extent preserved by relocations of buildings or lessening their height. VITOUSEK: I agree. I think, the protection of the view plane for Life Care through relocation or reducing height of buildings as necessary. Would that be appropriate language? Commissioner DeFranco. DEFRANCO: Yeah, I agree with Commissioner Van Pernis. I think that we can have some language that's stronger than a consultation, which doesn't feel like that has double, both sides of us represented properly. But I do trust the Planning Department and the planning director to understand how we feel about this and what we are looking at and what we are looking for. And I also appreciate the honesty coming from the owners, or the representatives of the owners, to tell us, you know, they do have to work out a lot of things to be able to make this kind of commitment. But I think that we need to ask you just like condominiums next door asked you, is to be the good neighbor, you are going to have to look at this project and make an attempt to minimize the impact so you are not blocking the view of, completely, of this place. You know, II don't know, I know you'll come up with it, Mike. Come up with those words for us. Thank you. VITOUSEK: My proposed language will be, view planes from Life Care facility will be protected through relocation of buildings or reduction of building height as necessary YATES: (Indiscernible—simultaneous speech) DEFRANCO: —one more thing that, Mike, that is like, that's too, that's not in the middle, that's not meeting in the middle. You have to use a terminology that gives them a place to explore and gives us a place that we are going to be seeing. I don't know that those words achieve that exactly. So maybe, maybe someone whoMaija? Does anybody have an idea? 29 EXHIBIT D
