SOLOMON:Yeah, that’s correct. YUEN:But we, but by the same token they don’t want to give up the existing SMA Permit for the apartment not knowing whether the bed and breakfast is going to be approved. So if it came to the point of a vote, chances are, the proper, if that’s what the Commission wanted to do, the proper vote would be to terminate the, to approve the old bed and breakfast, approve the bed and breakfast upon a condition that the old apartment be voided. That’s how that will be handled at that time. GRAHAM:Okay. YUEN:Is that where you’re going with this or what? GRAHAM:Well, -. YUEN:Like the possibility of there being two permits on the property, two separate -? GRAHAM:No, I’m not so much going for the result. I’m going for like what’s at stake in a contested case hearing. If, when we had these two -. You’re only dealing with two out of three now, too, when we have the old one that’s being asked for continued, and we have the new one that’s on the agenda. So if one wants to contest, does one contest the continuance of the old one, or does one contest the one that’s on the agenda, or both at the same time? And since they’re both not going to be built, that’s a little bit bizarre. And then beyond that we now have a new proposal for a somewhat different situation which it feels like if that’s going to be on the agenda it needs to be re- agendized and put forward again, and not part of what’s going on today. But it also would be silly for these folks to have a contested case hearing about what’s going on today if something new is going to be proposed right away anyway. So I’m just concerned about the whole process with all these different things. YUEN:Well, I think the applicant, as far as the bed and breakfast, the applicant can modify it to change the, to reduce the number of units. They won’t have to, nobody, we won’t have to do a new notice and possibly bring in more intervenors for that. And if I understand the petitions that we’ve received correctly, they are petitions in opposition to the proposed new permit for the bed and breakfast. They’re not opposing the continuance of the old apartment permit. Is that correct? Norman is striding to the microphone. HAYASHI:I think you need to understand that what’s before us is an amendment to the existing permit. So if this request goes through, which is to allow the bed and breakfast operation, then that would replace the wording of the permit to say bed and breakfast operation instead of the three-unit apartment. So this is not a new petition. YUEN:Much better explanation. 13
