LIM: Probably pretty much that. We could use it now for office and storage <br />uses, and those types of things. <br />GRAHAM: Okay, thank you. <br />ALAMEDA: Very good. Commissioner Watanabe. <br />WATANABE: Mr. Lim, could you elaborate for me on this Condition F with regard to, <br />you know, the curb and gutters on Hinano Street.Was the Planning Director in agreement or <br />opposed to that? <br />LIM: The Planning Director was opposed to delaying the installation of the <br />curb, gutter, sidewalk. So if you see our proposed Condition F, the underlined portion is the <br />portion that we put in -. <br />WATANABE: Right, right. <br />LIM: Just to try to tie it to the construction of any new dwellings, any new <br />buildings. <br />WATANABE: Oh, okay. I appreciate your honesty in that. But in addition you did <br />indicate that in all likelihood the tenant who is currently renting that facility, which I assume is a <br />single family dwelling, will remain there and that condition will probably remain the same for <br />the next three to five years? <br />LIM: That’s true, that’s our expectation. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. <br />ALAMEDA: Any further questions? Commissioner Siracusa. <br />SIRACUSA: Yeah, I have a little bit of a concern about the floating property line <br />between the two parcels, that you wanted to leave the option open, that when you did subdivide <br />you’d be able to shift it one way or the other somehow, depending on what the plans were. And <br />as we all know even though the application says they will retain the structures there’s no <br />requirement to do so. As a matter of fact, the conditions allow for possible construction of <br />increased density housing on the parcel. So I’m sort of, I always feel like, you know, with these <br />change of zone applications that we’re looking at one thing which may sound okay and yet down <br />the line anything horrendous could happen and we’re stuck with it. I really wish that we could <br />just do, you know, special permits instead of zone changes on these kinds of parcels. I wish we <br />weren’t limited to Ag parcels for that because it ties our hands a lot. And for me in a lot of cases <br />it means that whereas if it was a special permit kind of thing I would say, okay, let’s go for it. <br />You know, we can always renew it in five years, blah, blah. But a change of zone is pretty much <br />carved in stone; and that gives me pause and that makes me consider a lot more, you know, to err <br />on the side of being conservative. <br /> EXHIBIT A 9 <br /> <br />
