VITOUSEK: Okay, Building Division. Do we have conditions in this special use permit that indicate that there will be no commercial use of this building until after a certificate of occupancy is accepted from DPW? ANDREWS: Jeff wants to jump in. Go ahead, Jeff. VITOUSEK: Go ahead, yep. DARROW: Well, again, this is one of those situations that we have the cart before the horse. And, you know, normally, the horse goes before the cart; people come in, they get their permit, they get the approval, they get the certificate of occupancy, and then they occupy. At this particular time this building has been occupied; it's actively being used for a particular use. They are trying to come into compliance. All of this, these conditions are bringing them, if approved, would be able to bring them into compliance. That would, once the Special Permit allows them to be able to operate as a permitted use this particular facility, they would be able to operate with the understanding that they've got to go through this process within a particular amount of time and get these permits and certificate of occupancyI believe it was one year, with the possibility of one year time extension. If they don't comply with that, they either come back to the commission or the permit is not valid; they wouldn't be able to continue utilizing that facility under this permit. VITOUSEK: And next question is the access. Is there a reason why the access is not included in the boundaries of the special management, or the special use permit application? ANDREWS: Are you referring to the square footage calculation of what the permit area is? VITOUSEK: Right, well, the graphic that was shown on the flood zone map shows a rectangular 2.3 acres project area for the Special Permit, but the access to that area is also a part of that commercial use. I'm just wondering why that's not included in the Special Permit project area. ANDREWS: Yeah, I guess the property map that you are referring to, which shows the flood zone, is referring to the proposed use, the area of the proposed use. But I understand your question that the driveway perhaps could be considered part of that required access for the proposed use. VITOUSEK: Yeah, as that's a part of the commercial use of the property, the access to the location that's being used, I think, will be pretty relevant. And one of the conditions is that the access be relocated to the future alignment of Kakalina Road. Is there a map that you have that shows the existing location of the road and the proposed relocated location? ANDREWS: One of our maps that I showed in the presentation does show the existing corridor, the road corridor. I can, I can share a slide. Give me a minute here. DARROW: Maybe I can just chime in real quick, Chairman Vitousek. VITOUSEK: Yes, please, yes. 9 EXHIBIT B
