provided to you this morning; and the top of it says Dien Jung Lin Nekoba, REZ 07-000071. But these include the Planning Director’s new proposed conditions. The Ramsayered amendments that we’ve made to Condition D are just to make that paragraph internally consistent such that either the consolidation of the Parcels 25 and 26 or the establishment of cross-easements to permit traffic circulation between the two parcels would occur upon construction of a new building. I think that was the idea that we were trying to reach at. Proposed new Condition E is the Planning Director’s recommendation where because of the CN-10 zoning they didn’t want us to subdivide it into more than the existing two lots; and we’re agreeable with that condition. The proposed and revised Condition E is that we would provide, this was our request, that we would provide the curb, gutter, sidewalk improvements along the frontage of Hinano Street, which is on the right side of the drawing there, upon the construction of any new dwellings, I mean, excuse me, new buildings on Parcel 26. We felt that until the new buildings would be implemented that there would be no sense in putting curbs, gutters, sidewalks on the existing property. Then the last condition that we’re calling the proposed new condition based upon the discussions with the adjacent property owners is that, their main concern, I think, expressed at the last hearing was that the proposed impacts by the commercial uses would impact upon their dwelling and their proposed residence that they’ll be building later on. So we met with them on the conditions that we were proposing, and then we’ve given them a copy to review. I think Mrs. McCrary is here today to testify also. It states that the applicant shall provide a solid wall not to exceed 6 feet in height as a buffer along the common boundary of these parcels, 126 and the McCrary and Jeffrey Joseph parcel. I think that they’re in agreement with that. She also mentioned today that because of the deposit of gravel on the Nekoba Parcel 26 adjacent to their property they’re experiencing a little bit more water runoff. We believe that the construction of the solid rockwall or solid wall, or whatever they do, will address the drainage issue and will make sure that it channels the water back out towards the roadway. And I think that they also talked about preserving a couple of trees along their boundary; and to the extent that the Nekobas, I think the Nekobas have agree to that. I don’t know exactly now which trees they are but I think the parties understand which trees.So maybe having Ms. McCrary come up to talk would help, too. ALAMEDA: Sure. She’ll testify. We have her name here so she’ll be coming up shortly. Commissioners, any questions for our applicant’s representative, Mr. Lim? Commissioner Watanabe. WATANABE: Mr. Lim, we’ve received also newly worded conditions or revised Conditions D, E and F from the Planning Department. Have you had a chance to review those? LIM: Yes. WATANABE: I believe essentially they say the same thing that your proposed condition says with the exception of the new condition for the 6-foot wall. Are you in agreement with that? EXHIBIT A 4
