continuing to operate there. And we would very respectfully ask that the application be
<br />denied. And thank you for your time.
<br />GALDONES:Thank you, Mr. Wilson. Commissioners, any questions of
<br />Mr. Wilson? Hearing none, Mr. Figueiroa, you have the last argument.
<br />FIGUEIROA:Yes, if I could go back to, first of all, Ms. KubotaÓs, you know,
<br />request to understand here. The differences as far as even the areas that we used, if you
<br />have available to you -. Do you have the Declaration of Rodney Nakano? IÓd like to
<br />point it out from the Declaration. The date of his Declaration was December 6, 2002. Do
<br />you have that?
<br />GALDONES:Yes.
<br />FIGUEIROA:Okay. If you notice on the No. 11 in his Declaration, No. 11 in his
<br />Declaration, point No. 11, that per his review and calculation of the square footage of the
<br />existing structure, he had 2,048 square feet instead of 1,352 square feet. So after we got
<br />this and his explanation that he was measuring to the outside of the roofline -.
<br />KUBOTA:Yes, I got that from the other meetings.
<br />FIGUEIROA:Right, so we did re-calculate to see what that would do. Okay, so
<br />we accepted that, his calculation there. And then if you look at No. 14, 14, he calculated
<br />1,350 square feet rather than 1,244 and explained how he got that. We didnÓt take issue
<br />with that, either. We said, okay, letÓs use the 1,350 square fe
<br />And then if you go down to No. 18, where he measured the propose
<br />the, he did it the same way as the existing building; and he said that was 4,144 square
<br />feet. We accepted that.
<br />Then No. 19, he said the proposed parking and driveway is 11,109 square feet. We said,
<br />okay, weÓll accept that, your interpretation there.
<br />If you add all of that, thatÓs less than 18,000 square feet. What he did after that was to
<br />show what a half-acre would be and thatÓs what he put in No. 21, where he said, Ðarrive
<br />at an area of approximately 21,780 square feetÑ where he counted grassed areas and other
<br />areas, which he didnÓt do with the existing buildings.
<br />So we feel that we are less than a half-acre if you add both existing and the proposed
<br />together. ThatÓs where we differ. He did not say that we covered an area of 21,780
<br />square feet. If you add all of his calculations, how he calculated, we cover 17,651 square
<br />feet, if you add the ones that I did tell you about how he measured it.
<br />So we feel that, although it is not adjoining the existing dwelling and storage, we feel that
<br />cumulatively it covers less than a half-acre of the entire lot, and his calculations prove
<br />that. So, now -.
