Personally I have a lot of sympathy for you and I’d like for you to succeed. But as you do it, you know, I think we expect total compliance with the requirements and the laws that, you know, govern your whole conduct and operation according to the permit that has been granted to you. Mr. Yuen, okay, putting all the issues aside and as we look at this situation, what alternative do you see? Where do we go from here? YUEN: You know, this question, Rodney asked this question a few minutes ago, and I think, you know, maybe we’re at the point of winding down the discussion. So let me say what I would suggest at this point based on what I’ve heard. I would suggest first that the Commission today defer action on the revocation, it’s not withdrawn but we defer action, with the idea that this will not be brought back to the Planning Commission if certain specific things are done. And if these things are done the Department will come back to the Commission with a report. All right, if they’re not done within the timeframe we’ll come back to the Commission again with a revocation. So then let me go through what we would -. DOMINGO: So what you’re saying is that give the Department and the applicant some time to sit down together and discuss the issues and see if some amicable kind of decision can come about so that things will proceed in their favor? YUEN: A little more than that in that there are some, I’d like it to be on the record what the conditions are as of today; and this will be part of the Commission’s vote today. And those are, you know, No. 1, all equipment must be kept out of site within the one acre; and I believe there’s a half acre that’s not being built on. There’s supposed to be maximum of six trucks, you should be able to keep the things on a half acre. That’s No. 1. No. 2, Mr. Miranda requested a time extension from the one year time to the second year by letter. That’s a formality. I know you said, gee, can I have it today. But from the standpoint of our paperwork, request a time extension from the plan approval and a survey which was supposed to be done by August 2006 to August 2007. All right. My expectation is that then the Department will grant the time extension to August 2007. I would ask that he submit his contract or a letter agreement, something from the surveyor, to show that he has a surveyor under contract. We give him a time extension to August to submit final plan approval. Now, you know, we’ve discussed this at the meeting today, if the applicant needs more information about what’s expected in final plan approval, he can meet with the Planning Department staff on this. If necessary, people, you know, people hire professionals to do these kinds of plans. If he were going into a commercial lot, like on Shipman business park, for example, typically you would be hiring somebody to draw up the plans. The fact that he is going into an agricultural area should not really change that. He is being given a special permit to go into an agricultural area so he doesn’t have to hire somebody; but if it’s going to be necessary to meet the deadline he can hire somebody. The plans, and this is an important part of this application, the permit is spelled out in a letter, landscaping shall be required in accordance with the requirements of Planning Department’s EXHIBIT A 13
