GRAHAM: Approximately nine months? <br />METTLER: Yes. It’s taking quite some time to have building permits approved lately. <br />SIRACUSA: If you start at nine months, how long would it take to complete <br />construction then? <br />METTLER: Probably six weeks after starting. <br />SIRACUSA: So according to that then it seems like they would be able to get the trees <br />in the ground especially if they were having them grown out in the nursery within the one-year <br />timeframe, tight but possible. <br />METTLER: We don’t have a problem with that. <br />SIRACUSA: Okay. <br />METTLER: The reason why I came back up here is I just wanted to see if I understood <br />what was being proposed; and that would be to remove the word “established” in the first <br />sentence and then in the second sentence delete “at 30 feet in height and,” and then leave the rest <br />the same. Is that what you were talking about? <br />GRAHAM: Is that what you had in mind, Commissioner Watanabe, with your motion? <br />WATANABE: Essentially, essentially yes. You know, the Director had come up with <br />“Applicant shall implement a tree planting program as represented,” and if we add one year to <br />that I think that would be appropriate because, you know, you have presented a scenario here. If <br />we leave it the other way it’s not as, it might be open to anything. <br />METTLER: I appreciate that. <br />WATANABE: So I think if we do that then it’s clear on the record what types of trees <br />you’re talking about, the spacing, etc. and everything else you’ve represented you will have to <br />abide by. <br />GRAHAM: Fine. Are we all in accord then? We understand? <br />GALDONES: Yes. <br />GRAHAM: All right, are there any questions or comments before I have Jeff take the <br />roll call and a vote on the motion? Go ahead, Jeff. <br />DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The motion is to approve with the amendment <br />to Condition 4, if I might read that, “The applicant shall plant,” we will be deleting the word <br />“established,” “trees that will grow to a height of 100 plus feet along the outside of the north, <br />west and east boundaries of the proposed project site to minimize any negative visual impacts to <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />14 <br /> <br />
