ALAMEDA: Thank you for your time. Okay, Mr. Lim. Oh, you had a question? WOODWARD: No, I didn’t really have a question. I just wanted to say we appreciate your input and it has definitely affected the way this project will be handled. So we do appreciate public input. ALAMEDA: Yes. WOODWARD: Thank you very much. ALAMEDA: Very good. Mr. Lim? LIM: I’d like to thank Ms. McCrary for working with us on this matter. I think it has helped all the parties’ relationships and we’ll try our best to, in the construction of that rockwall or the solid wall to mitigate the drainage issues. So we’d ask for your support. ALAMEDA: Commissioners, any final questions before we ask for a motion? Commissioner, great, Commissioner Graham? You had a question? GRAHAM: Yeah, I just want to get a sense of what’s likely to be on the ground there in a couple of years if this goes through. I mean you’ve got those two buildings. That’s a very long, you know, fairly sizable parcel, and you’re talking about three to six employees. So there’s a lot of terrain there that’s going to be used for something. And part of that I guess is parking these 8- to 10-pasenger vans. LIM: No, not really. GRAHAM: But can you tell me what it’s all going to be like? LIM: I think what you’ll see probably for the next near-term, I would say next three to five years, maybe just what you see there today. You know, they don’t have any current plans to develop. And the main idea is to get the zoning to enable them to run their commercial tour business. Any storage of vehicles is not going to be allowed, you know, the tour vehicles. I think there are only two vans at the most that go on the property; and those are their personal vans that they use both for personal use and sometimes for tour uses. So they’ll probably keep, the house that’s on Parcel 26 which is the one on the right-hand side, the Hinano Street side, is currently being rented for some years by a tenant. They’ll probably keep the tenant in there for a while. So in terms of the next few years, you probably won’t see any change. That’s kind of why we were suggesting pushing back the curb, gutter, sidewalk improvements until they built a new building there. GRAHAM: I see. And to follow-up, when you say basically they want to run the business, does run the business just mean they have a little office, people park, they come in and they work on their computers and on the phone, and that’s to run the business, or something else going on, too?
