the County Planning Department in their permit requirements.” That’s an important point, I think, to consider with the list. And, also, with regard to your comment on the maps, yes, there were some reservations by some individuals that had been working on maps for a number of years to -. There were several cautions on that side, and that is the accuracy of the map and what land court documents, etc. they have. So those were issues that were raised. Also, with regard to the list, I believe the Planning Department and the Director took a look at the list and pointed out specific ones that would be more problematic or had some serious questions; and those were clarified or taken off of the list, that we took a few off of the list I believe to keep it, because there were some additional concerns, I believe. So while I understand your concern over how powerful you believe the list to be, again, we have other parts of the document that speak to the idea of community involvement of processes wherein everyone is involved. So it’s not just going to just happen because that list is there. If it’s in consideration, yes. And these are the wishes of the community, which is what a community development plan should do. WOODWARD: Okay. I might just ask Director Yuen, because we’ve brought this up before and we’ve discussed this before. There are mandates, that is you shall do this; and then there are recommendations. And this one says “accesses listed here are based on community desires and recommendations and are not necessarily the access ways that have been negotiated by the County Planning Department in their permit requirements.” So my understanding is this is what the community would like to have but there’s no mandate, no legal mandate, to do any of theses. And I might get the Director’s comment on that. YUEN: Correct; and in brief I would not recommend making a change to this at this time. WOODWARD: All right, thank you. HOUSEL: Mr. Chair, I have a question for Mr. Torigoe. WOODWARD: Commissioner Housel, yes, sir. HOUSEL: If these trails are listed in the CDP does that imply the public’s right to access these trails? YUEN: Can I answer that. The thrust of some of my comments to the Steering Committee was to make sure that the CDP was worded so that people understood that these were not necessarily public at the present time. That’s intended to be there. You know, you cannot help the fact that sometimes people will still misread and misunderstand things; but that is certainly, was, there were changes made so that it would be clear that this was a desired list and that we’re not declaring these to be public. WOODWARD: Mr. Torigoe, you had a comment, I believe. EXHIBIT C 14
