SIRACUSA: If we -, has anyone signed up to testify on this matter? WATANABE: No, no one has. Not on all three of them -. SIRACUSA: That would be something I would take into consideration. Basically, I have no trouble reopening the hearing. I have no problems with that. WATANABE: I guess what I’m saying, though, is is it going to be fruitful, or are you -? You know, if you are already set in your decision, then -. Because I remember at our last meeting, Mr. Lim wondered whether there was any other number, some smaller number than 25 units, that would be acceptable, and no one responded. Mr. Iwashita. IWASHITA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. First, I’d like clarification on the timing on as far as our -, if there is a deadline now in terms of getting this to Council. WATANABE: It’s my understanding that the applicant had the opportunity to extend the time; so timing-wise I believe we are still in good shape. It’s also my understanding that the applicant has indicated that they are not looking to continue this matter beyond this date, given the voting record and the testimony that was already occurred. IWASHITA: I guess my concern, then, is that, you know, our decision is supposedly th based on the entire record. And Mr. Lim -, the suggestion now is Mr. Lim’s April 7 letter to Mr. Pilago, the Chair of the Committee on Planning for the County Council, be put in our record. And there is another agreement that Mr. Yuen’s response to this letter be put in; but we don’t have that today. So it seems to me there is a procedural defect in terms of our deciding on the entire record, if we are trying to go down that road because we don’t have Mr. Yuen’s letter. WATANABE: Mr. Lim LIM: Yes. I’ve just submitted the March 5,2008, letter from Mr. Yuen to the County Council, which I think is the one you were talking about, Mr. Yuen. And so we’ll stipulate that that will be introduced along with ours. Maybe -. WATANABE: Mr. Yuen, would you need to -? LIM: Maybe I can -, with respect to the issue on whether we are going to be talking about further reduction in lots, I think, you know, we discussed this with the client. And th you should know that on April 8, the County Council Planning Committee voted to forward a favorable approval recommendation to the full Council for the downzoning, adopting Mr. Yuen’s proposed downzoning. So in light of that, that’s why we are taking the position today that we’d just like to wrap things up today. And I don’t know that there is going to be any utility in discussing, you know, reduced proposal at this time, in light of what the County Council is doing. WATANABE: Mr. Iwashita. EXHIBIT A 6
