infrastructure, it’s ready to go; and we’ve been proactive in satisfying the current affordable housing requirement. As a part of this amendment of the zoning ordinance we’re also picking up, which we didn’t have before, the fair share contributions for about $10,000 or $11,000 per lot now, I suppose. So we’re accepting those items as part of the return to the County; and so that’s why we ask for your support. GRAHAM: Mr. Lim, and also you are okay with all of the conditions suggested by the Planning Director? LIM: We’ve reviewed the background report and the recommendation of the Planning Director and we concur. GRAHAM: Thank you. Commissioner Siracusa, follow-up? SIRACUSA: Yes. If you’ve been then putting in the infrastructure this last couple of years then please explain to me your reasoning why you didn’t at that time, why you waited until now to ask for the time extension. GRAHAM: Mr. Lim? LIM: Yes. We’ve been in discussions with the Planning Director in terms of trying to do this without going for a rezoning of the property; and we’ve been working with him over the past, over a year now, I think. But he’s made a decision that the time to get final subdivision was a condition of the change of zone ordinance and therefore he couldn’t as the administrator waive that timeframe. So, you know, try as much as we could, we weren’t successful, so that’s why we’re here today. So all of the efforts to try to, you know, to try to finish up the subdivision and do those types of things were taken, you know, by Mr. Henderson in an effort to try to push that administrative decision; but the Director felt that he couldn’t do that, so that’s why we’re here before you today. So a lot of the expenditures he has done has been, you know, pretty much on his own nickel to some degree; and we felt that that was necessary to address the concerns that you’re raising that this has been a long time. GRAHAM: Any other Commissioners have any questions? Commissioner Watanabe. WATANABE: Well, first of all, Mr. Lim, thank you for accepting the affordable housing requirements, the current ones. But I would like you to clarify something regarding the letter from Martha Lane and where she claims that, you know, a pin was relocated. And if you could clarify for the record and maybe even if you could point that out on the subdivision map. LIM: Okay. I believe Martha Lane’s property is located in this section of the pre-existing subdivision that is located next to the property. When you look at the project map, this is what we call Lot 33. It’s kind of an easy point to find on the subdivision. Mrs. Lane’s lot we believe is right around here.It’s quite near the tip of EXHIBIT B 6
