GALDONES:Question I have to Mr. Watanabe, when you speak of the landscaping, does that take care of the visual impact? That is the concern that you were -? WATANABE:Yeah. Landscaped screening to take care of that visual impact, right, and the other part we had discussed, trimming trees along the driveway to improve sight distance along Ainaola Drive. And I thought, you know, because the Director had brought up, well, what is the required sight distance for them, and I thought maybe it should come with the approval of the Public Works. But, you know, as far as other friendly amendments, obviously, I don’t craft these conditions, so, I’m open. ALAMEDA:Okay. Mr. Galdones? GALDONES:In light of the negative recommendation from the Director and as there was no time to really put all of the other, as Mr. Watanabe had mentioned, all the other conditions that we normally put within approval, I will have to rely on the guidance of the Director to do that. But, also, the other thing I’d like to address is the noise abatement, if that amendment could be also part of the motion on the noise. ALAMEDA:The noise abatement? GALDONES:Yeah. ALAMEDA:Okay. GALDONES:So I guess the hours of operation would have to be introduced in there, also. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Watanabe, oh, let’s check with Mr. Director. Go ahead.

Number two, that the baseyard be operated consistently with the description given in the application and before the Planning Commission. That’s a little bit of a catch-all because they’ve made some statements about how they operate that we want them to act consistently with. Number three would be hours, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Number four, and this similar to what has already been stated, to screen the storage of vehicles from neighbors, from all neighbors and from Ainaola Drive within three months. Improve sight distance by cutting trees, no subleasing of the property, no increase in the number of delivery vehicles or the number of employees, and then no fueling on site. WATANABE:Sounds good to me. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Galdones? GALDONES:Yeah, question to Mr. Yuen. There was some discussion in terms of the personal vehicles and then the identification of junk yard. In terms of that, from what I’m EXHIBIT D 21
