YUEN:I didnt quite understand that. EMLER:Okay, the condition change by the applicant says the TIAR shall include a schedule improvements describing when each improvement will be required in development of the project. But, if you look at the conditions for improving Kuakini Highway and I need to point out which condition that is. ALAMEDA:Thatd be H. EMLER:Okay. LIM:(not speaking inmike) I guess I can see what Mr. Emler is saying (inaudible) modified to enable the applicant to close Certificate of Occupancy for the portion of theprojectthatsrelevanttothoseroadwayimprovementssothatwedonthaveto,wewont, otherwise we wont be able to pull a CO for the, for any portion of the project until all of the improvements are done. ALAMEDA:Director? YUEN:Right, the, we can work on the exact wording of this but the basic idea is that for, the improvements to the intersection can be done in phases that the improvements have to be completed before certificate of occupancy is issued for that phase of the project. What, the idea that the TIAR contain suggested phasing is also okay with me. But, what I want to make, I want this to be written in a way that makes it clear that any phasing of improvements has to be approved by DPW and not-. The wording that is in Mr. Lims condition suggests that the TIAR determines the phasing and so, and so Mr. Lim says that, the, well DPW can reject the TIAR. But, I look at the TIAR as more of a technical document and, and so the TIAR may say well 50 units does not warrant a left-turn pocket whereas I look at that decision as more of policy. And the TIAR will tell you your typical delay with somebody wanting to turn left will be 15 seconds or something. And, thats the technical part and to me the decision of whether, when you have a left turn pocket is partially technical but also partially policy. If I understand correctly and correct me if Im wrong Ki that theres not really a set, theres not a set standard that says if you have to wait so many seconds you should have a left turn pocket or its-. Theres an element of engineering judgment to this and Id like it to be really clear that they can approve the analysis in the TIAR but and the TIAR may say well we dont think you need a left turn pocket yet but Public Works thinks you do and so then youve got to put it in. I am myself leery of having any significant level of development either 50 units on the property without a left turn pocket. But we can, we dont have to sit here and decide that right now. As Ki, am I, am I, are we on board with this? EMLER:Okay. ALAMEDA:Ki? EXHIBIT B 20
