So I would much prefer kind of like we discussed earlier today that the metes and bounds survey be done before we approve this application. Andthen if there was any kind of reasonable work that you all could do to bring the Judd Trail towards becoming a public asset in the future, we could ask you folks to do that as your effort to clearly outweigh any adverse impacts that youve already minimized. So thats where Im coming from. LAU:Okay. Perhaps, No. 1, you know, I believe that a condition that we discussed earlier with respect to the mapping of the Judd Trail that would ensure that there is an identification of the Judd Trail, I would be amenable to preserving a portion of the Judd Trail thats on our property so that it can be accessible to the public. Would that meet with your concern? ALAMEDA:Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:No.IdontthinkthatreachesthelevelofinvolvementthatIwashoping to see. I do understand from your consultant that if, in fact, all it says is that the Judd Trail is not suitable for use now, for you to do a whole bunch of work on it maybe feels premature. But Im still left in the situation that, you know, Id like to see a public interest component to your thing here; and I see no better way than the Judd Trail; and I dont feel like a metes and bounds survey really does that. LAU:Well, can I ask you what level of improvement would you like to see? GRAHAM:Thats the problem. It seems like I was hoping when we put this out for deferral before that we would come back and wed have a metes and bounds survey. And, so, then, with the Planning Directors participation, you know, we could sort of say, This is appropriate but this is asking too much, or whatever. But were not in a position to do that today it seems. YUEN:If I can just jump in for just a minute here. I think that in the materials they provided in this, theres a map of where the Judd Trail is on their property thats pretty, seems to be pretty accurate. So from that standpoint its, I had the page, Im sorry . You dont have the cultural assessment? GRAHAM:I got a letter from -. YUEN:Okay, Im sorry, yes. You got the map? No, not that map. Theres another map that shows the Judd Trail. Its labeled A-1 on the bottom. So from the standpoint, this does not have a metes and bounds. The standpoint of this is it does show, you know, it does show the portion of the Judd Trail that is within their metes and bounds, not to say that its their property, which is the point that theyve already conceded. And I think what youre getting at is that youd like to see, at some point, some private entity responsible for restoring this section of the Judd Trail, but it may be premature to do so right now. GRAHAM:Yeah, I think basically youre characterizing it correctly. And I feel a little bit like what Commissioner Iwashita said before about, you know, when there are streets coming up to a project, you know, even though its not part of the projects property, we do require improvements and things. And I dont know if, you know, Im certainly not looking for 8EXHIBIT C
