ALAMEDA:Thank you Mr. Lim. Commissioners any questions for our applicant? Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:Mr. Lim? LIM:Yes maam. SPRINGER:Using your photographs could you point out for me again where the ADA ramp would be? LIM:Okay. Im sorry I didnt number these but that one is relatively easy to find. Its the, one of the sea wall and the white building and you can see a concrete area with looks like an old orange cone there. That is the, that was an old ramp thats in disrepair and we wouldbeimprovingthattoADAstandards.ThatsthebuildingthatItalkedaboutbeing,some of the justification we believe for the granting of a shoreline setback variance is this is the structure thats been protruding into the SSV for many years. And the project is located around the corner and would rarely be visible to anybody. SPRINGER:So the ADA improvement and the lanai are not contiguous with one another but are in separate buildings? LIM:Theyre just right around the corner from each other. You look at the site plan I guess-. SPRINGER:The ADA access in that section that protrudes that you were describing for us. LIM:Yes it just, it bridges a gap between the sea wall and the existing building. And so once you go down that ramp and you take a right thats when you get into the next area, which is in the next photo showing the project area. So the same building is portrayed in this project area photo. SPRINGER:May I continue? From in the shopping center where does one access the ramp? LIM:The photo, I guess it was the second photo that we looked at thats the main entrance into the project area. The, Uncle Billy will also be providing on the proposed project a series of steps down on the north side of the new addition so that they will go down. Theres an already, you can see on the last photo you can see a stairway going down and they would be reconstructing that off of the new lanai. SPRINGER:But Mr. Lim this is the photograph that youre indicating is the main access? EXHIBIT A 5
