DARROW:Commissioner Smith? <br />SMITH:Aye. <br />DARROW:Commissioner Thibadeau? <br />THIBADEAU:Aye. <br />DARROW:And Madam Chair? <br />SPRINGER:Yes. <br />DARROW:The motion passes. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Ms. Allen, your request for standing in the contested <br />case hearing has been granted. <br />WeÓll now move to the next petitioner. Mr. Colden, could you please state your name <br />and your address, and offer for the record the reason why you should be considered for <br />standing in a contested case hearing? <br />COLDEN:Thank you. My name is Greg Colden. I live at 6053 Skyli <br />Boulevard, Oakland, California 94611. ThatÓs my permanent residence. I have prepared <br />a statement which I wish to read. IÓm a little fuzzy cause I ju <br />bear with me. <br />Let me preface this by saying that I do not know the history of the Tanaka Quarry nor the <br />Fuku Bonsai. There was some disclosure at the time when I was negotiating to buy the <br />5 acres thatÓs directly adjacent to the subject property. <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Colden, can you please direct your remarks to your petition for <br />standing rather than any arguments that you would care to make. For example, <br />previously, we determined that the Allen family was served notice to surrounding <br />property owners, and I cited Section 4-6(c) of the Planning Commission Rules of Practice <br />and Procedure. Were you also served notice? <br />COLDEN:No, I was not. I was in the middle of closing escrow; and at that <br />time there was not notice given to me. I was apprised of this by Ms. Allen some weeks <br />after I closed escrow. <br />SPRINGER:Do you know if the previous owner was served notice? <br />COLDEN:IÓm unaware of that. There was disclosure that there was a Special <br />Use Permit that had been issued for the Ðsmall storage facility; <br />disclosure packet. <br />15 <br /> <br />
