YUEN:No. You know, if the County is planning an improvement the <br />then weÓll fix the intersection. Okay? If that intersection, if that improvement falls off <br />the books, the County canÓt fund it, and they want to build their hotel, then they have to <br />fix the intersection. <br />FUJIKAWA:Why donÓt the County straight out and say, hey, I canÓt afford it? <br />YUEN:Pardon me, what? <br />FUJIKAWA:Why donÓt the County straight out and say, I canÓt afford it? <br />YUEN:Well, the County is planning to do it. <br />FUJIKAWA:How can I budget for it? <br />YUEN:Who budget? <br />FUJIKAWA:If I were to be the builder, how can I budget for it -? <br />YUEN:Yeah, they can either wait for the County to start the project or <br />they can take the chances. I mean, there is such a, it has to get fixed to improve the hotel, <br />to open the hotel. <br />FUJIKAWA:So youÓre telling the Applicant, me, the County havenÓt fulfilled <br />the obligation and for, I, to finish up the road. My concern is do I get paid back from the <br />County? <br />YUEN:No, you donÓt. And this is no different than a hundred oth <br />situations that weÓve dealt with. If you have, you want to build a facility on a County <br />road thatÓs not adequate, if you have a bad intersection, then weÓre going to make you fix <br />the intersection. Now, if the County isnÓt planning to do a project, then you have to pay <br />for it. ItÓs your hotel. And if the County, 10 years later does a project, then the County <br />isnÓt going to pay you back for having done that, that improveme <br />improvement to open your facility, or whatever you want to do. So, thereÓs nothing <br />unfair about that. They made the improvement. ItÓs their good fortune that the County is <br />going to do these, has these improvements slated on the books. But if the County cannot <br />finance it and they want to have this project here, then they have to do the, then they have <br />to pay for the improvements necessary to make the project go. The County shouldnÓt <br />have to pay to make, or pay them back for making improvements thatÓs necessary to their <br />own project. <br />FUJIKAWA:So during construction, would it be advisable for the contractor or <br />developer to go ahead with the road improvement at the time, too? The equipment are <br />there. During the construction of the hotel, also, do the construction of the road <br />improvement at the same time? <br />17 <br /> <br />
