CLEMENT:To everyone. Okay. Now, where did I put that? On this side, okay.
<br />Okay. First, I state that when we purchasedthe property, we knew that it was zoned agricultural
<br />land and we thought, you know, that we wouldn't have any problems of someone wanting to
<br />change it, okay, that on variance. And -, okay. We are entitled to peace and quiet on our
<br />property, is the way I feel. Unless I am misunderstanding this thing, there would be more people
<br />coming round the area, cars in the area. How many artists will be in there? I don't know who
<br />will be coming. And perhaps even tour buses will be coming in, I don't know, later.
<br />And at first when I received correspondence from the Applicants, they said for -, to put an art
<br />studio. Then about a month or so ago, I received another letter, and it states we're making,
<br />making and displaying of the art sculptures, the glass art. And it seems like to me now it's
<br />becoming even like a manufacturing plant where they will be manufacturing, and naturally, I'm
<br />going to have concerns about their melting of the products, the sand, whatever needs, whether
<br />there are chemicals in there, whether we're going to be breathing these chemicals. And I do -, I
<br />raiseagranddaughter,shehasasthma,sothat'soneoftheissuesthatI'mreallynowconcerned
<br />about, because several artists, what I'm just hearing now, will be working. I thought it would be
<br />just one. And I think that we are entitled to a safe and enjoyable area, and at this point, I guess
<br />that is all that I can say.
<br />FUJIKAWA:Commissioners, any questions with the Applicant for -? Go ahead,
<br />Springer.
<br />SPRINGER:I'm wondering if, Mrs. Clement.
<br />CLEMENT:Yes.
<br />SPRINGER:Having made the petition for standing in a contested case hearing, has that
<br />contested case hearing process been explained to you?
<br />CLEMENT:I did call the Planning Commission after receiving the letter, and I was
<br />told, I don't know who spoke with me, I did not write the person's name down, and I was told just
<br />write a letter and just give it when I came in, just make about 15 copies. So is there another -?
<br />SPRINGER:Well -.
<br />CLEMENT:Thing that I did not see or wasn't told?
<br />SPRINGER:Well, just -, I'm wondering, based on your testimony, if there is some
<br />guidance, perhaps, that the Planning Director can give Mrs. Clement with regard to sketching out
<br />what the contested case hearing process is. I'm not sure if Mrs. Clement is fully informed as to
<br />the process.
<br />YUEN:We can do that later. We can do that here now if you would like, but the
<br />Staff can do that with her afterwards, as well.
