LIM: I think the Condition D is kind of like a wording change, and you can see it on our sheet in the Ramsayer format. Condition E we’re agreeing with. Condition F the change is the timing change. We would construct the curb, gutter, sidewalks when we do the new buildings and not right now. I don‘t think the Planning Director agrees with that proposal but we think it’s reasonable. And then the new one, of course, with the neighbors is the rockwall, the solid wall. Whether it’s rock or concrete, it will be a solid wall of some sort. GRAHAM: I -. WOODWARD: Mr. Chairman? ALAMEDA: Let me go to Commissioner Graham and then I’ll get you, Commissioner Woodward. Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM: Yes. Mr. Lim, on the application we read that the specific intention here is to provide office space, parking for employees, and place for 8-10 passenger vans. How many employees are you expecting to be in that office space? LIM: At the present time we have three and I think that the proposed employees, depends on the business but I think that they would probably go up to maybe six or so. What we’ve done is we’ve moved, as part of the earlier violations and the concerns by Ms. McCrary they’ve moved all of their parking, I mean their tour vans, the big buses off the property. I think one of the big issues was, you know, they’ll be woken up at night and then the morning by the backing up beepers of those big buses. So those are all off the property. We’ve got a new industrial property that we store those vehicles on. GRAHAM: So we’re talking about six employees, is that what you’re saying? LIM: At least for the short-term. This is kind of a long-term issue for them. They haven’t determined what they’re going to do in the future. But I think that the near-term growth is between three to six employees, possibly more. GRAHAM: Thank you. ALAMEDA: Commissioner Woodward. WOODWARD: Mr. Lim, I congratulate you on the fact that you have managed to take part of the trouble out of our hands, and you’ve dealt with the problems; and that’s very important to us. The people that are applying have dealt with the property owners who have objected; and if that objection has been taken care of, then I think you’ve done a very good job. ALAMEDA: Thank you. Any other questions? Commissioner Siracusa. SIRACUSA: Yes. Although one of the objections of Ms. McCrary was about the large vans and the beeping noise when they back up and the fumes from them, that does not seem to be EXHIBIT A 5
