WATANABE: And you have any further comments on that? <br />MIRANDA: In regard to the Department of Transportation, you know, they had a <br />concern about their ruling on law and whatever. What I have to say is I have in my work there, I <br />have not touched the State Highway. The road coming into my property and the other owners, it <br />was an easement and it was already paved. The swale of the road from the State Highway has <br />been there, I haven’t touched that. At the end of the swale where the pavement ends was gravel. <br />And then the inspector from the State Highways Division came out and checked that. And their <br />concern was my trucks coming onto the highway or any vehicles not tracking any mud or debris <br />to the State Highway. So at the end of the State’s pavement where my road started and was <br />gravelled I put pavement down; and it has been like that for four or five years, at least. And we <br />don’t track any gravel or mud or anything to the highway. So it’s safe. But since they’ve written <br />this I’ll try and work with them and see whatever permit I need to do and whatever needs to be <br />done to satisfy them. But this is what I’ve done; and I thought everything I did was to make the <br />highway more safe. <br />WATANABE: Okay, thank you. Do you have any follow-up questions, Ms. Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA: Yes. I just wanted to remind the applicant that in the past you had been <br />unaware of some of the conditions that had been placed upon you; and I hope that you have had <br />a chance to review and understand what those conditions are so that you will not be in a position <br />of having to come before us again in the future and explain why you didn’t do what, you know, <br />you had agreed to do. Because basically when we give you the permit, what you’re doing is <br />agreeing to those conditions, you know. And so I would like to make sure that you understand <br />what those are and are willing and able to comply with them. Cause we’re going to hold you to <br />it, you know. <br />MIRANDA: Well, I think I’ve complied with everything that was asked; and I’ve done <br />it, and I don’t know what else to do. But I’ve done it and everything is in place; and I expect to <br />keep it that way. <br />SIRACUSA: Good. I hope so. Thank you. <br />WATANABE: Any further questions for the applicant? Mr. Miranda, I have one <br />question. It appears that you’ve begun construction now. So you’ve poured the slab in and <br />you’re beginning to frame the building? Is that correct? <br />MIRANDA: Yeah, the building is all framed. I just need to put a couple more braces <br />on and then the roof will go on. <br />WATANABE: Okay, thank you. Yes, Mr. Rho. <br />RHO: I guess I should ask my question; and maybe it’s not a question. But did <br />th <br />you get the last letter from the Department of Transportation to the Director dated March 10? <br />MIRANDA: Yes. <br /> EXHIBIT A 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
