So on the question of the demand for it, I’ll defer to Dr. Sugai. HOUSEL: Mr. Fuke, I had one question. One of the testifiers is concerned about the dust and noise control. How do you plan to manage that? FUKE: Well, as far as the dust and noise control, it’s already, they have to address that by complying with the State Department of Health; the State Department of Health has regulations that govern noise and also govern dust control measure. So the contractors are obligated to fulfill that mandate. Now, if there are additional type of things that the neighbors would want to have, then this is where I think, like, during the plan review process where the developer would be, if this condition were accepted, would be obligated to meet with the community, then these can be faired out and hopefully additional mitigated measures can be taken. HOUSEL: Thank you. Commissioner Bowman. BOWMAN: I have a question before Dr. Sugai, if that’s all right. Thank you, Mr. Fuke, because I think the public realizes that we are just the first step, and if we can address some of these now, you know, it’ll be a lot easier when they get to the other side, yeah, the Council. There was a question, just real, it may be minor, but about loading, about the loading dock being abutting residential areas, and I noticed, when you were talking about including the neighbors, that that wasn’t mentioned. So I just maybe suggest that that be a part of, which I’m sure it is. FUKE: That was part of, the loading requirement is part of the parking requirement, so when I mention parking -. The Zoning Code requires standard parking stalls, handicap parking stalls and also loading zone requirement, so it was generic. But your point is well taken. BOWMAN: Thank you. And one for the architect, because I’m not quite sure where the eucalyptus stand is in relationship to the roads. And I just have a minor question with whether eucalyptus roots -. Because I know we’ve had a lot of problems with our roadways and roots. And I think, you know, for those who want to save the trees, I appreciate it, but is it, is the stand of trees near where the access is going to go? GHALAMFARSA: No, it’s not near the access. Mostly the south-west, there, in this area. BOWMAN: Okay, that’s the trees. GHALAMFARSA: Yes. BOWMAN: Okay. Pardon my ignorance, but I just wanted to make sure that I address that. Thank you. HOUSEL: One question. What is the existing slope of the land right now? GHALAMFARSA: The average slope is between 16 to 18 percent. 21 EXHIBIT A
