trying to do is, and in that one, and Inoticed that Mr. Frankel has no problem with taking that out, that one is something that we would take out. But if you go back and look at all of these subdivisions, the preliminary plat will not contain a list of improvements proposed by the developer and information sufficient to check against various kinds of Codes. So we need to have that fixed. SIRACUSA:I, can I continue? ALAMEDA:Let me ask real quick. Im just getting a little bit concerned about our young man back there. He might get a little fidgety. If you have any questions for Mr. Frankel directly, I would appreciate that now. And then we can turn it over to, if you have questions for the Director later -. Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Okay. I wanted to point out to Mr. Frankel that the Item No. 7 on page 8 thathereferredtohasbeendeletedinthenewestversion;andIbelievethatsoneoftheitems that he was supporting. There were quite a few things that he -. FRANKEL:I dont mind that being eliminated from the Code, that Section 7, the improvements. I mean I can understand Chris point, that Im saying -. But the other stuff really bothers me. SIRACUSA:Okay, there was a whole lot of discretionary stuff by the Director that bothered me also, not because Chris is the Director now but remembering who some of the previous Directors were; and that would be on the top of page 6 that you quoted, (e) the directors deferral and also the bottom of 7, Unless waived or deferred by the director, the preliminary plat shall include blah, blah. My total feeling is that I would wish that you had come before us, David, with your own Ramsayered version to say what you would like to see and where you would like to, you know, put in those changes so that we could compare one with the other and then have something to discuss. And I would be really be happy to ask the rest of the Commission if they would consider allowing you to do that and holding off on everything so that we could then look at the, at all the issues on both sides of these issues and see how they play out, and have something more tangible to discuss thats actually on paper. ALAMEDA:Is there a motion for continuance? Is that what Im hearing? SIRACUSA:Yeah. ALAMEDA:Mr. Director, any comment or -? YUEN:Well, I do want to say this is an extreme problem within the Department that we would like to see solved. And, you know, this question of the top of 6, the top of the page is actually one of the very key parts of this amendment. That is something that legitimates the existing applications. Where they do not have certain information in them, and we can go through this, we can go through this point by point as to what would the consequences be if it was missing; and if its something thats caught later, its something that will be fixed later. The idea that you can, Mr. Frankel began his discussion with something that you can submit a completely, like a blank application and have it approved. That wont work because you cant have a blank subdivision. You cant have a subdivision like blank page and the Director waive 9EXHIBIT D
