a sufficient problem to justify denying this application. On the other hand, I feel like the <br />Planning Department and the Planning Department Chairman here knows this area a lot <br />better than me and has been made very clearly where, by you folks, what the issues are. <br />And I donÓt think the Planning Department is bringing a different perspective than the <br />perspective I feel. So based on their much greater knowledge of the specifics and sharing <br />the same concern, IÓm reluctant to challenge the Planning Depart <br />without having either a different philosophy or different information. On the other hand, <br />I also feel like, you know, Ms. Kubota, I have no doubt of Ms. KubotaÓs sincerity in her <br />concern. But I do feel like that addendum to the positive recommendation is more of a <br />window dressing than doing anything. So I feel like thereÓs a little pass-the-buck to that, <br />so that sort of doesnÓt assuage my concerns. I guess thatÓs about all IÓve got to say, but I <br />just want to share my feelings on this with you folks. <br />GALDONES:Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL:Yeah, IÓm obviously very troubled about this, also. I me <br />that this, I think there are some, you know, the traffic problem is a major issue here. But, <br />at the same time, I think the developer and the Planning Department have worked <br />together, I think, fairly well on trying to alleviate not necessarily, I mean, they canÓt do <br />anything about Palani Road, but as far as feeder roads and trying to help other people in <br />the area, I think theyÓve been very cooperative. IÓm probably going to be voting, I will be <br />voting in favor of this recommendation; but we really need to figure out some way to get <br />Palani Road fixed up. I donÓt really feel itÓs our, you know, our jurisdiction to do so. But <br />to the extent that anybody, everybody here in this room can do something to work on this, <br />I think that we, you know, we personally need to. <br />GALDONES:Thank you. Commissioners, any further discussion? There being <br />none, Jeff? <br />DARROW:Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Commissioner Kubota? <br />KUBOTA:Aye. <br />DARROW:Commissioner Fujikawa? <br />FUJIKAWA:Aye. <br />DARROW:Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:Aye. <br />DARROW:Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL:Aye. <br />DARROW:Commissioner Mina? <br />39 <br /> <br />
