YEH: Okay. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you. Yes, Commissioner Siracusa. Let’s try to clean this <br />up. I think we’re beating this one. <br />SIRACUSA: Yeah, I am not happy with the three year permit and then a three <br />year extension. I’m willing to, you know, compromise in terms of agreeing to three years <br />if there’s no extension. Because what we’ve seen often is we start giving five years and <br />then they start really figuring, oh, we’ve got all this time, we don’t have to start looking <br />right away, you know. And so possible opportunities will pass them by; and they won’t <br />jump on them simply because they’re feeling that, oh, well, we can go for another <br />extension. And I think that’s bad planning. And so although I like the original motion, I <br />have trouble going with it if it allows for more than three years. <br />GRAHAM: Mr. Torigoe, as a matter of procedure, if in fact we were to vote on <br />this motion as it is now, and it failed, could we then go forward and following <br />Commissioner Siracusa’s lead maybe drop the administrative extension, or have we <br />foreclosed any options by having the initial vote? <br />TORIGOE: No, no, you can always have another motion. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you. Okay. <br />YEH: Mr. Chairman? Mr. Chairman? <br />GRAHAM: Mr. Yeh. <br />YEH: And I apologize. I realize it’s closed but I think the three years is <br />good because if you account for zoning, plus construction and buildout, and being able to <br />move in, that should be okay. The only thing is I think maybe another year extension in <br />case the applicant runs into some other issues. I can’t perceive them but just to leave that <br />option to the Director. I think that’s something that the applicant can live with; but if two <br />years extension is fine, that’s okay, too, obviously. <br />GRAHAM: I’d like to move to a vote. But, Commissioner Woodward, do you <br />have something else you needed to say? <br />WOODWARD: I was just going to ask Mr. Yeh if that was acceptable; and he <br />explained his position. <br />DOMINGO: What’s the motion again? <br />GRAHAM: The motion is for a three-year permit with a possible two-year <br />administrative extension by the Planning Director. Is that correct, Commissioner <br />Iwashita? <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />20 <br /> <br />
