YUEN:I would suggest we just take out the reference to Rule 17 because Rule 17 does not apply to a parking lot in the open zone district for a public park. SPRINGER:So with the removal of reference to Planning Department Rule 17, the recommended amendment by the Applicant is no longer necessary? LEONARD:No longer necessary. SPRINGER:Thank you. Is there anything else, Pat, with regard to your review of the proposed amendments? OÓTOOLE:No. SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioners, do you have any questions or comments either for the Applicant, the representative, or the Planning Director, or Deputy Corporation Counsel? If there are none, may we have a motion to close the public hearing portion of this agenda item? KUBOTA:Madam Chair, I move that we close the public testimony po this agenda item. SPRINGER:Is there a second? MCCALL:Second. SPRINGER:Seconded by Commissioner McCall to close the public testimony hearing portion of this agenda item. Commissioners, is there any discussion? KUBOTA:Madam Chair, excuse me. SPRINGER:Yes, maÓam? KUBOTA:Before I close it, I want to communicate my appreciation to the parties over here for hearing Mr. HartmanÓs concerns and your pledge to work out the special needs of people with disability. I was very much appreciative of the kinds of needs that I didnÓt even think about. Because such as short distances to the historic artifacts, I never even thought of having an access-way, especially for the wheelchair or the visually-handicapped people. I mean, it just never occurred to me. But I was very appreciative of gathering that information and to have you pledge your commitment to working with them. One more thing, before, my suggestion was going to be that rather than handing him, handing the resource people the plans, maybe before you even make the plans, they can put, give you input so that you can work that into your plans for providing these, what do they call them, accessibility guidelines. 24
