it’s kind of saying that, yes, that would, his existing operation, his proposed operation would still fall under the definition of a restaurant. So from that standpoint, they have no objections. WOODWARD: All right, thank you. Well, I think if we’ve got it on the record, if there’s a question, then you just pull out the record. And it has been stated that that is the case. The other question I had, and in looking through this, evidently the Department of Water Supply and the Fire Department are requiring a fire hydrant to be put in. FUKE: Correct. There were like a number of issues that the agencies raised; and I discussed that with Mr. Iida earlier today. And he said, yes, he is aware that the Fire Department is calling for the fire hydrant to be situated directly across of the property; and then that’s something that he’s going to have to do. The Water Department is also recommending that he install a backflow preventer. And I explained to him that if you’re going to have a fire hydrant up there, you better have a backflow preventer; otherwise, you’re going to blow up your, you know, your plumbing system. He also has an obligation by the year 2013 to construct curb, gutter and sidewalk fronting his property. That was part and parcel of the original condition; and that he’s aware of. WOODWARD: Okay. So you’ve received the recommendation, and the conditions are satisfactory to you? FUKE: Yes. WOODWARD: And you have, you would be happy with the recommendation that the Planning Director has put forth to, rather than delete Condition D to just add “restaurant” as a permitted use? FUKE: That’s correct, with the understanding that his existing operation falls under the definition of a restaurant. WOODWARD: Okay. And the other question I have, and perhaps for the staff and Planning Director, I don’t know what a fire hydrant costs, but my guess is it’s not real cheap. And there is going to be a revision of the various fees. The, what is it, fair share contribution is going to be updated. And it would seem to me that since this fire hydrant is not your fire hydrant, it is a fire hydrant that is going to benefit everybody, and is really a County function that you have to pay for, whether it would be reasonable to use that as an offset against the fair share contributions. FUKE: Well, the fair share as I understand, and maybe the Director can correct me, but the fair share applies only if he elects not to have commercial but instead have like a duplex or -. 8
