GRAHAM: All right. Thank you. Any other questions for Mr. Kane? Well, thank you very much then. KANE: Thank you. GRAHAM: Fellow Commissioners, I think we’ve heard from the Applicant, we’ve heard from testifiers, and what’s your wishes on this Application? Commissioner Watanabe? WATANABE: I just want some clarification on the Conditions. Earlier you had mentioned something about – I think we were referring to Condition 5 – and are we eliminating all of Condition 5 or just portions of Condition 5? GRAHAM: My understanding at the time was that we could probably leave Condition 5 as it is, but in the implementation of this we consider fulfilled already – that portion of it refers to the Final Plan Approval. WATANABE: Okay. Then my follow-up question would be to the Director. Do you feel – I’m comfortable with the scope, and I’m just wondering if you feel that, as things change, that maybe we should put any condition as you have suggested about off-street parking. GRAHAM: Mr. Yuen? YUEN: I’m comfortable without it. It’s really up to the Commission; if the Commission wants to do something, we could put a condition that says that all parking for activities shall be done on site. But I’m comfortable with leaving it as it stands. GRAHAM: Commissioner Alameda? ALAMEDA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I think it’s unnecessary to add that condition, given the scope of the project and the presentation by the Applicant, also by the surrounding areas of parking – the public parking – as noted kind of a little ways down. So I feel comfortable with the Conditions as is. But if other Commissioners – you know, if that’s what’s going to make you approve this Application, then I would go along with that particular condition. But if not, I think it’s unnecessary. GRAHAM: Thank you. Commissioner Galdones? GALDONES: Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I’m not mistaken, I heard Mr. Kane mentioned that visitation to the project is by invitation. So if that being the case, then they would be able to control the flow of traffic and the number of people going through there. And he knowing the concern of the neighborhood, then I’m sure they want to be a good neighbor also. So I would feel comfortable based on the Conditions that we have before us that it won’t be necessary for us to address anything else except for the extension of the time frame, which is Condition No. 5. GRAHAM: Thank you, Commissioner Galdones. Commissioner Alameda? ALAMEDA: I’m ready to make a motion, if, Fellow Commissioners, it’s okay with you – no objections. All right. I move that the Use Permit 152 be approved. EXHIBIT A 9
