colleagues on the Commission who would like to see a deferral.That’s all, Mr. Chairman <br />Thank you. <br />GRAHAM: So, Mr. Domingo, you’re not sensing that you would support this motion <br />to defer. Is that correct? <br />DOMINGO: Yes. You know, again, in deference to people on the Commission, I <br />respect their position. But what I’m trying to say is that although we may not defer, but this <br />issue is not going to be dead. It’s going to go forward and live its useful life for how long it may <br />be; and the Council will be the final decision maker on this issue. <br />GRAHAM: Okay, thank you. <br />SIRACUSA: Mr. Chair? <br />GRAHAM: Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA: Yes. Well, two things. I’m wondering first if Mr. Torigoe would help me <br />out with the timeline on this. How much time does this Commission have to make a decision? <br />That’s my first question. <br />GRAHAM: Mr. Torigoe? <br />TORIGOE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As usual with your amendments that are <br />initiated by property owners under your Rule 11-3(b)(2), you have 90 days after receipt of the <br />application from the Director, unless a longer period is agreed to by the applicant. You have that <br />90-day period in which to transmit a recommendation to the Council. The recommendation <br />should either recommend approval, in whole or in part, or a rejection of the application. And if <br />the Commission fails to act within the 90-day period, then the application shall be considered an <br />unfavorable recommendation by the Commission. So a default unfavorable recommendation <br />would go to the Council. <br />GRAHAM: And, Mr. Torigoe, if we continue the 90 days would still be running from <br />now? It’s not like we reset the 90 days, is that correct? <br />TORIGOE: That’s correct, unless a longer period is agreed to by the applicant. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you. <br />SIRACUSA: My second question then. <br />GRAHAM: Commissioner Siracusa. <br />SIRACUSA: It has to do with the landscaping that would act as a buffer on the sides of <br />the parking lot, not the sides facing the street necessarily, but at least the sides facing the two <br />abutting residences. Would parking be precluded from the parcel until that landscaping was in <br />place to afford those residents some relief? <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />7 <br /> <br />
