doing. It just so happens it was structured this way; and when the application was filed,
<br />this is the way it has been reviewed.
<br />KUBOTA:I see.
<br />EADIE:It may be in your view preferable to do it the other way. I think
<br />the end result, however, is that, you know, in the ground nothing changes, itÓs just how
<br />we get there.
<br />KUBOTA:Yeah. So I canÓt understand, for the life of me, why you would
<br />take a convoluted route to get what you want at the end anyway. Because if you owned
<br />the land you can do it, right? You didnÓt have to transfer it to a public domain, so called,
<br />and then lease it back or get an easement back for free? I mean, no?
<br />EADIE:In our thinking, it was just at the time, anyway. our thinking was
<br />that it would be cleaner and it would be the best way so that it is transferred in whole, you
<br />know, for the whole 109 acres, and then get that back. But, you know, again, I say that it
<br />could go either way and it just happened to be structured this way.
<br />KUBOTA:Okay, excuse me, but you lost me there because I -.
<br />THI BADEAU:A good business decision.
<br />KUBOTA:A good business decision, okay, youÓre the expert. Okay?
<br />Then I go to one more, a couple more, then IÓll get off of this
<br />third paragraph from the top, and this has to do with Zoning Code, ÐA golf course is not
<br />listed specifically as being allowed in the use permit in the ÒM
<br />Industrial. ÐHowever, for that portion of the project site within the ÒMLÓ zone proposed
<br />for golf course usage, a use permit will be processed to request a Òmajor outdoor
<br />recreation facilityÓ under Section,Ñ blah, blah, blah, Ðwhich includes golf course usage.Ñ
<br />I checked the definition of a ÐMajor Outdoor Recreation FacilityÑ in our Code book and
<br />it says, that ÐA Major Recreation Facility includes a mini golf course.Ñ ThatÓs the
<br />reference to a golf course permitted in the ML zone.
<br />Now, do you consider, I donÓt know how many acres you have over there, but the golf
<br />course fairway running through that ML zone, do you consider that to be a mini golf
<br />course? I mean, you know, in every other definition where golf courses are allowable,
<br />Mr. Eadie, I found that golf courses were called golf courses, and they didnÓt refer to it as
<br />ÐMajor Recreational Facility.Ñ And for the life of me, I cannot understand why, I guess
<br />the Director is involved in this, too, I canÓt understand why you change the nomer. It
<br />doesnÓt say golf course, it says mini golf course; and I hardly think that that development
<br />over there, where is that part, Norman, please show it to me, that ML zone.
<br />HAYASHI:I believe itÓs in this general area.
