GRAHAM:Good. Thank you very much for that. If we have no more questions from the Commissioners, hold on just a second, we also have no people signed up on this, on our public testimony sheet here. But if there is anyone here in the audience who would like to come forth at this point and make any public testimony youre welcome to do so. YUEN:I have a question. GRAHAM:We have a question then from the Planning Director. YUEN:Im not getting your parking spaces being enough. Youve got 7200 square feet and youve got 18 parking spaces where you need one per 300 square feet gross floor area. So you need 24. SIRACUSA:Excuseme,onthatsamething,isthat18plusoneADAorthe18includes the ADA? FUKE:Its inclusive. I dont have my calculator; but if its insufficient then, you know, through the plan approval process then, you know, obviously the building would have to be reduced to accommodate the required number of parking stalls. YUEN:The other thing is that the site plan doesnt show an area, the Rule 17 requires landscaping on the parking lot side, actually on both sides that adjoin the RS zones; and you dont show enough space for the -. You could put this landscaping in the setback on the building side, but you dont show enough space for the landscaping on the other side. FUKE:Yeah, you are correct. So definitely the plans would have to be modified to address the Chapter 17, your landscaping requirements. GRAHAM:So then if I understand, may I ask the Planning Director here if I understand the situation that were in, that like the specifics were looking at the drawing on the board, they are really probably not quite in conformity with whats required for landscaping and perhaps for the number of parking places. So maybe there will be some revision of that before it goes to the Council. But then we can proceed with our action here today? FUKE:My sense is that like, you know, just given this dialogue that the plans are going to have to be reduced a little bit to accommodate the required setback requirements for the landscaping as well as the parking. If in fact like the mathematical, you know, Im not doing the math right now, but if it turns out to be insufficient parking, for example, then the way to cure that is to reduce the size of the building. And the Director is correct that they have to provide accommodations for setbacks for landscaping on properties that are adjoining the residential zone, which are on both sides of the property. GRAHAM:Thank you, Mr. Fuke. SIRACUSA:Commissioner Graham, I have a question. GRAHAM:Commissioner Siracusa. 8EXHIBIT B
