no problem with that, with meeting all of those conditions. There is one concern and that is- one of- part of that condition is that if we were able to get an easement that we build a road. And, oh God thats the obvious next step and our concern is that weve had it costed out and its in- somewhere between 500,000 and a million dollars to build that road. So, we would like to possibly tweak the language, were not against the intent but we would like to work with landowners to make that happen and we believe we can do that. But if the strict letter of the- and if push comes to shove we will do everything we can to build that road but I have to say that it would really put a crimp on the school because it means its 2 years of their budget, their operating budget for 2 years just to put the access road in. Theyre not opposed to that. Theyll do whatever they have to do as theyve already said. But when you consider doing a third of a mile of County road with putting in curbs and all of the things that are needed, it could be- even getting help from the parents it could be very tough for them. So I guess I would hope that you could tweak the language just a little bit to say the Applicant shall cooperate, the part under Number 7. If the approval for the necessary easements is received the applicant shall cooperate withlandownersinbuildingaconnectorroad.Werethinkingaboutbeingpartnerswithpeople that are up there in order to build that road as opposed to doing it all ourselves. I dont know if thats adding fuel to the fire but I really think that would help the school. And thats all I have. GALDONES:Jeff on that- Number 7 is put together and addressing the concern raised by Mr. WOERNER, was it the intent that they had to build that? Could they not go the route of working with the other landowners to build a road? DARROW:If I could direct this question to our Planning Director. Thank you. YUEN:Well its fine and its nice if they cooperate with other landowners. The difficulty is if the landowners will give them permission to build a road across but dont want to help pay for it. And, the intent of this condition is that then the school does have to build it. I dont know how else to word that. As far as the standard of the road, its not a County road. There is a condition that you consult with the Department of Public Works as to the quality of the road but it would not have to- it would be a private road. It would not have to be a County dedicable road. So, theres no question that it would be expensive whether county dedicable or not to have a safe, paved, two lane road, 1300, 1400 feet is an expensive condition. Were going to have a lot more testimony and Ill try to think of something in the meantime. There might be a timeframe to this that we can talk about. And, we can try to word it in such a way that, if landowners, if intervening landowners get land use approvals that they should work the road design in with those approvals. Without them having- without them coming to the County for some kind of land use change like a rezoning, we dont really have a handle on them to say wont you be nice to the school and share the cost building a road. And in fact if they dont- if theyre not asking for anything, if theyre just taking the use as it is then they probably dont have much use for a road that runs across their property either. So, let me- we are going to have some time and before the Commission takes action we will try to come up with something that may work especially if somebody else, one of the intervening landowners has some other, some kind of application in front of us. MR. WOERNER:Okay. 15 EXHIBIT D
