MITCHELL: One of the things that we considered when we were entertaining the idea of how to have patients come into the building was the underneath parking would prevent them from going outside the property. In order to obtain access to the building, the patients will be parking underneath the building itself. The building is raised and they will be accessing the building from the parking directly. So although I recognize that there is safety issue for people who would be waundering the streets, in theory our patients should not be going out that way. DUERLER: And just to dovetail on that, we did try to incorporate in the parking design, you know, some sidewalk access underneath the building as well to try to, you know, mitigate some of that. So -. WOODWARD: All right. Commissioner Domingo, did you have anything further? DOMINGO: I was thinking about it. And, you know, I reflect back on the discussion we had at the last meeting regarding the Downtown Development Plan, and that , you know, we envision that place, the EnVision Plan, it was called the EnVision Plan. And what would happen at that time when things start to, people start to develop or redevelop the place in order to make Downtown more user friendly and, I guess, solidify the economic base, that all of these requirements that you’re facing will be, will apply to them, and that would be elevating the building to a height that would be suitable for parking. So what they’re looking at is in the future, might be not in my lifetime, but in the future if they do develop or redevelop Downtown that is what we’re going to see, a whole line of buildings elevated, and parking structures in the bottom of that. And I think one of these requirements definitely in the core area of that development would be this sidewalks, curbs and gutters; and with regards to, as you go out to the outer perimeter would be a requirement for sidewalks for the whole area. And I’m going to look at this not only based on your individual application, but as I look at yours I’m thinking of the total area, the development area for Downtown; and that’s how it’s going to be. You know, I think should this requirement be exempted or left out of it, it would set a precedent. And I hope you can look into it; and I hope that if this is a requirement that you have to meet it would not change your desire to develop the place. I think what I see is that you’re being pioneers with respect to Downtown taking a new direction. WOODWARD: Okay. One thing that I was just looking at here, and this is on your diagram here of the building, it looks like you’re right up to street corner, the pillars that support this second floor. DUERLER: You’re looking at the kind of 3-D renderings. And that was just the, that’s probably not completely accurate in terms of the, you know, that was, the floor plans and the parking, you know, is more accurate to scale. The 3-D renderings were more to give kind of, I mean it’s fairly to scale but it’s not, you know. I think there is some leeway that’s not, it’s not exactly up to the street corner. The 3-D rendering is not completely to scale. So it’s just more of, to give you a 4 EXHIBIT B
