as their numbers in the wild diminish, I would appreciate that inclusion as a condition.
<br />And starting, first, as it says in this documentation, utilizing the native species of the
<br />region, youre not casting about the wet side of this island or other places.
<br />BROOKS:We would not have a problem, Commissioner Springer, with the
<br />condition that states that. I appreciate Mr. Yuens comments that it not be all as opposed
<br />to well endeavor to do our best, best conditions we can. Cause well have some areas
<br />where we just cant do it.
<br />SPRINGER:Okay. Thank you. I appreciate your candor as well. So,
<br />Mr. Yuen, can the staff interject that at the appropriate place and then re-number the
<br />conditions or re-letter?
<br />YUEN:I would suggest something that would say that the Applicant shall
<br />includenativespeciesamongtheplantsusedforlandscaping.
<br />FUJIKAWA:Okay,yougotthat?
<br />DARROW:IfitsokaywiththePlanningDirector,ifwecanaddthatasapart
<br />of Condition F, which speaks about the landscaping requirements. Thank you.
<br />FUJIKAWA:Okay, Director?
<br />YUEN:Ill be fine with that, although at some point the Commission still
<br />needs to make a formal motion to that effect, to add that and take a vote on that.
<br />FUJIKAWA:Graham?
<br />GRAHAM:If I may be a little candid on what Im foreseeing here. You know,
<br />we get this paperwork a week ahead of time or something like that, so I kind of start
<br />reading through all the paperwork and get a feel for the project. And the feel I got from
<br />the paperwork was I had much more of a fantasy feel as opposed to a real feel. And what
<br />brings that about for me is, first off, theres no water, as far as I know. So, you know,
<br />were talking, I mean, generally, on things like this, you kind of got the water in line, and
<br />I know to bring water down when the Department of Water Supply is not providing it
<br />could be quite costly and say, you know, how youre going to pull off an affording
<br />housing thing? And, then, the roads going in are going to start off, I guess, on another
<br />project, thats just in the PUD process now, and then its going to have to traverse some
<br />others of your properties which are not part of what were doing with here now. And
<br />then, at the same time, I sense, well, maybe theres a little carrot here, which is the
<br />affordable housing carrot that is put out, and were kind of spot zoning a piece of land
<br />urban. At some point, I mean, were only recommending. But at some point in the
<br />future, well wind up taking some course who knows what it might take, but its a long
<br />ways away from reality. Yet, we sit here and talk about, you know, what kindS of plants
<br />are going to be on it and all. So I have a disconnect, and maybe you can kind of, maybe
