those pictures were taken. What he doesn’t tell you is that since that time some of those buildings have <br />been permitted. What he doesn’t tell you is that some of those buildings have actually been torn down. <br />So we are operating, and you are operating, under the misconception that there are certain violations <br />that are out there. I would point out to our Exhibit B that we submitted there are no police reports <br />regarding noise complaints, parking complaints, or any other complaints that the Police Department <br />has on record regarding my client. <br /> <br />And one of those things I’m really concerned about is this tyranny of the minority in terms of what is <br />going on at SPACE. We all recognize that this is a valuable project. And we can talk and go at length. <br />It’s easy for me to be litigious. If anybody knows who, me and my reputation, somebody pushes, I <br />enjoy pushing back. Okay, and we can do this. We can talk about these vague unknown unidentified <br />people out there potentially who could have a problem with this. We could start talking about those <br />violations. But when the proof, we talk the proof is in the pudding. I don’t have any police report <br />violations and notices of noise and complaints. I have, and we are committed to getting this project <br />defined as narrowly as possible. And I think everybody in the room recognizes how different, how <br />special, how unique this project is. So our pitch, what we’re trying to convey to the Commission today <br />is give us that chance. And if we don’t make the chance, Commissioner Ishibashi, pull the trigger, <br />revoke the permit. But we’re here to tell you we’re going to meet those concerns, we’re going to <br />address those concerns, because Sue and I believe in this project. We think it’s a great one. I think I <br />hear the same thing from you guys, too. So give us the opportunity, you know; and if we don’t meet <br />that opportunity we fall short, then we understand. I think Graham and everybody else in the room <br />understands what the consequences are. <br /> <br />KERN: Very good. Thank you. <br /> <br />MOSES: I have a question. <br /> <br />KERN: Commissioner Moses. <br /> <br />MOSES: Well, I think it’s really not about you meeting the conditions because you will have to meet <br />the conditions. It’s about what are you going to give now. What is it that we can come to a happy <br />medium and say, okay, we’re going to allow this to continue, however, however long it’s going to take <br />you to submit that. But it’s what are you going to give now for those. And I don’t know who they are <br />in your surrounding communities that have an issue about having you have these performances at night <br />or whatever those concerns are. Are you going to be able to tell me that you’re not going to have these <br />things going on until you get that? <br /> <br />HONG: No, I’m sorry. We’re not going to have those performances. <br /> <br />MOSES: It’s not really about the buildings for me. You’re utilizing those buildings for a purpose, I <br />understand that. And, yeah, if you’re going to get that to be in compliance, great. But there is that <br />other issue regarding the, the performances. <br /> <br />HONG: Right, and I apologize for misunderstanding. If you look at pages 7 and 8 and 9 of our <br />proposal for submission to the Commission, that’s our commitment in terms of the interim. That’s <br />what we propose would meet the concerns brought up in the meeting this morning. <br /> 28 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
