GRAHAM:The issue is basically if -. <br />MR. MORTARA:Or the fact that it€s developed at all? <br />GRAHAM:No. I have no problem to the development at all, so I have no <br />problems supporting the application. But I don€t want to start a pattern of extra ingress or <br />egress onto the highway beyond what is already planned there, because I think it€s a high- <br />speed highway that, you know, you€re not going to build deceleration lanes and all. It <br />just feels like we€re going in the wrong direction. <br />SIRACUSA:I have a question, is there a, of Corp. Counsel or maybe of the <br />Director. Is there any way that we can approve this and specify that it should not set a <br />precedent for, make a development, you know, major accesses from the highway? <br />GALDONES:Okay. Norman? Is Norman there? Lost Norman. <br />YUEN:I can comment on that. Well, we can, you can say that. But to <br />someextent,tosomeextenteverythingyoudoisaprecedent,tosomeextenteverything <br />you do is based on a particular circumstance. So I don€t know that saying something like <br />that really makes that much of a difference. As a general policy, what Commissioner <br />Graham and you are saying, we agree with. We looked at the situation and it looked, it <br />was a, given that it was a pretty low-key operation as far as level of traffic, we were <br />talking about an ingress that was, an ingress that was acceptable to the Department of <br />Transportation. The fact that, it would be a more desirable way to set this up as a, if they <br />had set, if they had set this up using the Old Volcano Road as a frontage-type road and <br />kept it. But from what we understand the Old Volcano Road, although physically there, <br />has been abandoned from the standpoint of maintenance and responsibility; and the <br />properties were, had been all approved as flag lots. The properties that actually front on <br />the Old Volcano Road had been approved as flag lots out to the highway, so that€s the <br />way that the Department of Transportation -. <br />SIRACUSA:That€s a done deal already. <br />YUEN:Has set up the lots along the road. Whether, so that€s the given <br />situation, and that€s -. And I understand what you€re saying and Commissioner Graham <br />is saying, and we went down this path in-house; and, on balance, we decided that we <br />would accept the ingress only and the egress out through the back. <br />MR. MORTARA:Yeah, I just wanted to stress, too, that the scope of our project is <br />really very low key. It€s not an Akatsuka, it€s not a Blane€s Drive-In. You know, it€s an <br />ongoing business and we really, we went through this entire process in order to relocate <br />in an area that would help to develop our business and, hopefully, create more jobs. And, <br />you know, we€re talking about, we€re figuring maybe five or ten cars a day coming onto <br />the property to see what we€re doing and to look at some of our products, and things like <br />that. So, you know, I€ve totally recognized and lived in Volcano long enough to really <br />8 <br /> <br />
