SIRACUSA: When were down there and we walked onto the property and after we looked at where the pond was we walked up on the other serpentine part of the trail to the higher ground and Mary you said this is where we’re going to build the house, this is the high ground. Well, it looked to me that it was smaller than my kitchen, and it seemed to drop off on all sides. And I was wondering are you going to have a really tiny footprint and cantilever out on the second level, or how on earth are you going to manage to put a house on that one high point of land? So that’s my first question. And then my second question has to do with the bridge. And then my third question has to do with wastewater. But I’d like to just give it one at a time if I may. YEH: All right. And I think this would be a good time for you to introduce yourself and state your address. SULLIVAN: Oh. Hi, it’s Mary Katherine Sullivan, Kathy Sullivan; and I live at 13401 Prospect Avenue in Santa Ana, California.Anything else that I need to add to that? YEH: No. SULLIVAN: Okay. The 7.8, the 77.8 section is very small, as you saw when you were walking up there. What we had planned on doing is not disturbing the land at all but putting pillars up at different areas. Okay, so when I said, yes, that’s where we’re going to be, that’s going to be the main section but we probably will have pillars that will go down to the 6-foot level, just not even, even include those -. I love the latter, I wanted to keep it under my house. And so I’d like just to have the pillars going down cause we have to go up 15 feet above sea level, the pillars going down at whatever level that they’re going to meet so we don’t have to change anything of the underneath of that property. SIRACUSA: So in a sense I was right when I said you were going to cantilever out? SULLIVAN: Not necessarily cantilever, they’re going to be straight up and down. We’re not going to go out that way. There is room for a small house there. SIRACUSA: Oh, okay. All right. SULLIVAN: Okay, I think it’s like 35 feet across from the, like the 6-foot level to the 7- foot level back to the 6-foot level. SIRACUSA: Okay. It was hard to tell because of, you know, all the hau. SULLIVAN: Yeah. SIRACUSA: The second part of the question had to do with, you said you were going to run a bridge from the house where you were going to have a home office. And I was wondering whether you were planning on putting pilings in the pond. SULLIVAN: No. Now the Army Corp. Engineers told me they would allow one piling in the pond but the Planning Department told me they wouldn’t. Okay, there is a bridge of high 14
