COTTLE: That’s how we usually write our standard condition. If the Commission wanted to give, say, six months to comply with the plan approval, they could do that. That way you could operate in the meantime. V. ROBESON: Okay. T. ROBESON: I mean, we have tried to do this the right way from day one. There’s, every recommendation that Planning has made from, you know, when we bought the property, that we had no idea – we made a condition of the sale that everything on that property had to be permitted. And yet when we went through the permit process for the bakery we found out that the greenhouses weren’t permitted. So first thing that we did was go and get them drawn, get engineering approval, submit for plans, you know, and go through that process. So, I’d be more than happy to accept a timeframe to allow us to accomplish that. And I believe we’ve shown in the past that we have lived up to, you know, the desire to meet the requirements. If I can step down a little bit further, the water supply, part of this process of getting the special permit is they, we got comments back. So in those comments was a recommendationto have a certified engineer look at the water flow for both fire and use of the bakery. First off, we don’t come anywhere near using 400 gallons of water a day, a fraction thereof. However, we hired -. MELROSE: Paul Nash. T. ROBESON: Paul Nash to do a study on the water flow and what we were doing; and he’s in that process now. So if we could, again, have an amount of time, we’ve already shown the desire to meet whatever requirements flew down to us. Signs, I mean I understand that. We’ll follow the Code, we’ll apply for permit. I mean that’s normal. MELROSE: You know, I think to summarize, the key issue really is being able to operate in a reasonable period of time and to take some, take whatever time that you’ll grant us to complete the plan approval process without stopping, being able to move into operation. I think you get the sense that these are responsible people who will follow that up. And I will continue to work with them to try and get that accomplished in a reasonable period of time. So if you would provide to that, you know, aperiod in time as Maija suggested, that would be helpful. Six months to comply would be a great thing. Hours of operation, you know, if that’s the will of the Commission, that’s what we had suggested, that’s fine. We want to make sure we meet Mr. Nakao’s interests. It sounds like we’re doing that in spirit and -. T. ROBESON: We need to look at the opening time. You know, and this is based on the testimony that he gave earlier. You know, we applied for 4:30. Maybe that is a little bit too early. You know if the recommendation is to approve with conditions, maybe we set that from 4:30 to say 6:00 a.m., which might be a little bit better suited to the timeframe and for what’s going on in the community at those times. KERN: Okay. 31 EXHIBIT A
