have a problem with what he wanted to do. And once he realized that that wasn't the case, he really just doesn't want, he doesn't want to try to have a facility where he has guests coming and have neighbors having bad feelings towards him. So what he has decided to do is to build a large single-family dwelling on that property, which I understand he's totally within his rights to do, and he is, as I am also a drafter- designer, I am drawing plans for him that will include the five structures that are already there, which are basically 12-foot by 12-foot rooms. Right now they're separate, but the plan is if we can get it all approved, to move them into place and they would become the bedrooms for a house. And I've already talked to the clerks at Planning, and they don't seem to have any problem with the basic of idea of how the house would be set up. There would be connection from the living room to these bedrooms. There wouldn't be any other way out of the bedrooms except to come into the living room. Everything will be connected under one large roof. And in the end, you know, he probably will end up selling the property at some point because he wasn't able to do what he thought about building there. GALDONES:Commissioner Togashi, you had a question? TOGASHI:So obviously despite the, I guess, public concerns, Mr. Hilton did not feel that he could offer mitigation? COLTER:He offered a lot of mitigation, and it didn't seem to be enough for his neighbors. TOGASHI:I see. All right. Thank you. GALDONES:Any further questions of the Applicant?
