suspected burial site is. And, so, I think thatÓs a fair request not related to the office use, but a fair request. Otherwise, just in the on-going business relationship between the Planning Department and the developer to suggest that we help out and have some further mapping done, but, again, even though those are important items and well worth discussing, I donÓt think theyÓre fairly connected to the sales office extension. GALDONES:Mr. Yuen? YUEN:The September 2002 letter does not give the developer a clean bill of health. It says that the inventory survey and the significance assessments are adequate. ThatÓs just two stages in the process. The process there is you do an inventory survey, which is the survey thatÓs meant to find the sites. SHPD said, ÐGood, you did that, you found all the sites.Ñ Then the second part of that is the significance assessment. They said that ÐThese sites are significant and should be preserved.Ñ They said, ÐYes, they should be preserved.Ñ The earlier correspondence from SHPD says, and the normal requirements are you then have a burial treatment plan and a preservation plan that sets the buffers for the sites and maps them out on the lot so that you know where they are and that you donÓt -. So they did not do, they did not fulfill the requirements of SHPD as stated in their earlier letters. This is a letter that you will find that accepts what theyÓve done as completing two of the stages in the process, but not all of them. GALDONES:Any further comments, Mr. Leas, before I move on? LEAS:No, I think I would just be repeating myself. Perhaps thereÓs a sincere misunderstanding between the way I read the letter and the way Mr. Yuen reads the letter. But I donÓt think we should debate here in the context of the sales office. GALDONES:Okay. Commissioners, any question of Mr. Leas? No. As you folks have heard from Jeff that there is a Recommendation and, also, the Petition for Standing in a Contested Case Hearing. IÓm not so sure if Ms. OÓBrien is aware of the recommendation. So, Commissioners, before we act on the Petition for a Contested Case, I would like to hear her. Then if she decides that she wants to still maintain her position and have us act upon the Petition for a Contested Case, then we shall do so; and, also, ask the Petitioner whether she is prepared to make a case today or she wants to delay the hearing. So thatÓs the procedure that IÓm considering with -. If thereÓs any other suggestions or thereÓs any objections? Mr. Yuen? YUEN:I just want to make sure that nobody misunderstood. We are trying to bypass the Commission dealing with that Petition for a Contested Case Hearing. I expect that the Commission has to deal with that first. GALDONES:Understood, Commissioners? Okay. We had, Ms. OÓBrien had signed up to testify on this matter, so, Mr. Leas, if you would yield the microphone to her. 5
