<br />KERN: So you’re proposing basically to continue with what the Planning Director had originally <br />allowed, both partially through the original special use permit as well as her considerations for the <br />farmers market, etc.; and everything else would cease to happen? <br /> <br />HONG: Right. On the issue of performances though, I mean, like a May Day performance or another <br />performance that the school kids, the students are getting ready for, we think we should still be allowed <br />to do that. But in terms of, you know, a public performance, like for example some of the things that <br />Mr. Darrow raised, we’re not; and you have our commitment, we’re not going to do that. <br /> <br />KERN: Got it. Any other questions? Commissioner Ishibashi. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Thank you, Brother Chair. So on page 8 you’re talking about No. 5, Condition No. 5? <br /> <br />HONG: Yes, sir. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: We recognize and we understand the need. After you’re practicing and going to school <br />and learning all of these tricks, you’ve got to perform, we understand that. It’s important that, you <br />know, those involved have the opportunity to give performances. So we see the need. But we’re <br />going to have to take it off the property. So if No. 5, yeah, if you guys okay with that, then that’s a <br />good one, that’s a good one. So thank you. <br /> <br />KERN: Ms. Lee Loy, I’ve put you off long enough. You’ve got the floor. <br /> <br />LEE LOY: Just to help Commissioner Moses and address what I heard very clearly from our Director, <br />is as we move forward with the amended special permit, what I am and have already prepared in that <br />amended special permit are very specific guidelines. It gives hours of operation, number of people, <br />number of events. We really took the process with the draft environmental assessment and the <br />stakeholders meeting and used that as an opportunity for the community to speak to us and give us the <br />feedback so that we could actually add that in to the special permit application. And from that, like the <br />Director acknowledges, there’s a process for this. We need to present something, but we didn’t want <br />to present what we wanted. We wanted to present something that was kind of emerged from the <br />community. And that’s what the draft environmental process did for us. And now we’re taking the <br />next step to tool the special permit with some of those concerns and put those remedies in the amended <br />special permit application. And they’re very specific. And that has been so much of the <br />misunderstanding through this process. You know, we all have kids and we tell kids, you know, be <br />home by 10 and they sneak in at 10:15. You know, and they just keep bending the rules. We <br />understand that. And what we wanted to get to was very defined guidelines that the Applicant was <br />putting forward with the support of the stakeholders and the members of the community there. <br /> <br />So to address Ms. Moses, really, we’re getting there. We really are getting there. We’ve got some <br />great feedback. And we just need that six more months to get through the final EA process, retool the <br />special permit, and come forward with an amended special permit that then the community can take a <br />look at and give us more feedback about it. Thank you. <br /> <br />KERN: Madam Director? <br /> 29 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
