SPRINGER:I sometimes have shared Mrs. KubotaÓs concern that we receive <br />agency comments and they may be outside of the scope of the particular request which is <br />before us and that, especially if IÓm reading the material prior to coming to the table, I <br />come with one set of expectations and they may not be properly met at this time under <br />this application. And I guess itÓs a good thing when they present to us that sort of detail, <br />and then the staff here from the Planning Department can help us <br />applicability of those comments to the particular request. But I sometimes have a sense <br />of confusion as well when I hear, see one agency making rather detail and specific <br />recommendations and I donÓt find them reflected in the recommendation from Planning <br />Department. <br />FUJIKAWA:All right. Any other questions? If not, the ownerÓs representative, <br />Mr. Fuke? You may proceed. <br />FUKE:Hi, again. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Again, for the record <br />name is Sidney Fuke. The ownerÓs representative is Thea Brown and sheÓs seated in the <br />audience. The owner has had a chance to review the, the Applicant, rather, has had a <br />chance to review the staffÓs Background Report and the Recommendations and has no <br />objections to any one of them. <br />I would like to note, however, just for the record that in the reference on the proposed <br />ordinance, that bill, and I donÓt know if it needs to be corrected, but in the ordinance, <br />thereÓs a reference to amending a portion of Parcel 10. What had happened was over the <br />course, you know, the original parcel was designated 10, but then there was subsequent <br />consolidation and re-subdivision. And so 10 was assigned to another parcel and the <br />subject parcel is now Parcel 5. And I donÓt know whether that needed to be corrected or <br />not. But itÓs really a minor thing but it could have some down-the-road kind of <br />implications, because you donÓt want to have a property thatÓs zoned thatÓs not really <br />intended to be zoned. <br />I was involved in this project only in conjunction with the expansion of the B&B to the <br />inn; and, so, as a result, when the owners asked me to do the time extension, I had elected <br />to do that. But, at the same time, they also wanted to do the extension on the Change of <br />Zone which I was not involved in. But I had to do quite a bit of research and, so, if you <br />can bear it now, IÓll just give you some general background as far as like how this whole <br />thing came into being. <br />The property owner, itÓs basically the same property and essentially the same owners. <br />But there was a reorganization of the ownership, the partnership; and, as a result, now <br />you have some different members of the family thatÓs kind of doing this project. Back in <br />October of 1997, a maximum of a 5-room bed and breakfast was app <br />Planning Commission. And between September 1998 to April of 199 <br />maybe I should back up, between September 19 - oh, IÓve got it a <br />September 1988 to April 1991, they wanted to expand the bed and breakfast to an inn, put <br />in 15 to 20 bungalows, restaurant, gallery, etc. over 14 acres o <br />6 <br /> <br />
