going to be done by Mr. Smith? Somebody is creeping up on me here. Oh. So, what would normally happen there, Mr. Yuen, who would pay for that? YUEN:The person doing the development. TYLER:Oh, boy, does Mr. Clever know that? And how is he going to get credit for this, through his fair share? YUEN:Well, if he develops this connection per our letter, we will credit him against the fair share, because then hes making an improvement to the regional, public regionalinfrastructure. TYLER:Right. Okay. I hope everybody is listening carefully here, and well all try to remember this when it comes to the Council. Okay. Now, there was a secondquestionraisedbysomeofthespeakerstodayaswellassomeofthosewho communicated to you that what access is Mr. Smith going to have during construction? And this is a very important point because the County refuses to repair and maintain this road. They call it road in limbo; and, as we all know, the only limbo part of it is on the County side, its not from the State side. And their refusal, as you heard me say in the beginning and I wont get back on my high horse, has really endangered anybody that uses this road, anybody, including me who has gone down there to check this situation out. And if you go down there, and I hope you will, youll take your life in your hands if you have to make a left turn in or out, especially out. So the use of this road by construction, heavy construction equipment should not be permitted. I dont know what else to say except that maybe he cant start until the roadway is completed and access is completed, the alternate access is completed out to Highway 190. But this cannot take a Low Boy. It cant take, you know, any kind of heavy equipment. And I would say the only possible way that that would happen is if the County improves and maintains that road prior to his using it, which they have already told me, the County has already told me time and time again, year after year, theyre not going to do because they cant just choose one road. Yet the County continues to want to approve the uses down here. Mr. McClure was quite surprised when I told him there was a subdivision down here at the bottom. Anyway, I mention this because I really think you need to resolve this before you move it out of your, move it out of the Planning Commission and come to the Council. Condition No. F on page 2 of the proposed Directors conditions says that if access cant be obtained that they will, Mr. Smith will improve the Church of God Homestead Road to County dedicable standards. That is a physical impossibility. As Director Yuen said it cant happen. And I hate to be so, sound so pessimistic and cynical, but its too steep, No. 1; No. 2 is the right-of-way is too narrow; No. 3 is that both walls are archaeological sites and cannot be moved or touched, and they have told other adjacent landowners that they couldnt do this. And they told Mr. Kabumoto that, I can tell you that. He had to get the archaeologist to come out there. So I really think its not only a physical impossibility, it may be a legal impossibility. And, so, I dont think that that option 30
