downs and things and thats what we actually like. And so, you know as far as vegetation to answer your question, if its a requirementfor us to have a vegetation free area were happy to grub the area and keep the vegetation clear as a fire hazard. But we dont want to be caught between agencies with respect to erosion control. You can have a clear area. Were going to have to do some things about erosion but we dont want to have a stipulation saying well you cant have any grass or anything growing on there and then have another agency saying well look you guys have-, cause youve cleared the grass youve created an erosion hazard. Wed like to work with people but were happy to take all the grass off the entire place to drastically reduce the hazard of fire. And, were happy to do that because we dont plan to change the grade at all. Were not going to be Im going to say, grading the land to make a track. Were actually going to use the natural terrain, add a few obstacles here and there and that will be the track. The track is actually something that can change from time to time because it is using the natural terrain. Did I make myself clear? IWASHITA:Yes. CRAWFORD:Okay,thankyou. GALDONES:CommissionerSpringer? SPRINGER:QuestiontotheDirector.Doesthecommentonthenon-commercial activity have to be in the form of a condition or could it be written into the narrative on the yellow sheets? YUEN:Id like to draft a condition because thats really whats binding on the applicant. And what happens with these applications you do, you know you have the application in front of you, you get into a certain mind set because you have this applicant but it is something that could evolve into something quite different. So I think we should have some kind of condition that talks about it being non-commercial without preventing them from charging membership fees or entrance fees to spectators for example. SPRINGER:Thank you. GALDONES:Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA:Where- do the spectators have bleachers and things like that now for- at the Keiki Motorcross or do they just you know, stand around the track? CRAWFORD:They did a little bit of both, because the bleachers were in place there for the rodeo activity, Keiki Motorcross people do sit in the bleachers. But most of them tend to hang around the outside of the arena and sit on the fence. At various facilities like this across the United States you know as they, they do have bleachers and they would be the aluminum football type portable move um in, move um out kind of a thing. But for us, its going to be people you know coming and having a family day. Bringing your pick-up truck, bringing your tent, putting your lawn chairs down and watching the fun and activity go on and then everybody moving out from there. We really dont intend to build an Indianapolis 500 racetrack kind of EXHIBIT B 7
