<br />I also do want to bring your attention to a recent letter that we received from Stafford Oyama, that's a <br />th <br />letter dated July 25. And that should be the only other letter we’ve received, other than the <br />background and recommendation report. Are there any questions? <br /> <br />KERN: Are there any questions for staff? Commissioner Ono. <br /> <br />ONO: Yes. Could you go back to the pictures of the curve. I just want to see -. How will that, are <br />they going to straighten out the curve? That’s this one. How will the -? <br /> <br />COTTLE: Let me see. I believe what they are going to do is -. <br /> <br />ONO: Excuse me. I guess my concern -. It seems to me that the road is going to be widened, doubled <br />its width? <br /> <br />COTTLE: I don’t believe it’s double its width. It would be widened just enough to install a left-turn <br />lane. So it would be widened in this area, because the left-turn lane would be in this general area here. <br />The applicant can probably, or maybe if they brought their engineer, they can tell you exactly what this <br />would look like. But I believe they’re going to cut a little bit of the curve here and also build up the <br />road on their portion of the property. <br /> <br />ONO: On that side, I see. I see. So the other wide will not be affected as much or will not be affected <br />at all? <br /> <br />COTTLE: They’ll also have to build up the road here in order to create an apron, like a transition <br />apron. And I’m not certain what improvements will be done in this area, but the road will need to be <br />widened in this area here. <br /> <br />ONO: Widened but the curvature would remain the same, about? <br /> <br />COTTLE: I believe it would be pretty much the same. The applicant has an engineer that worked with <br />our Department of Public Works on how to achieve minimum sight distance. <br /> <br />ONO: Yeah, no, I live up that area so I guess my concern is that it’s really a blind curve. So I was <br />kind of wondering about the width of the road. Thank you. <br /> <br />KERN: Planning Director would like to make a comment on this? Madam Director? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Yeah. Despite the fact that there’s this favorable recommendation with <br />conditions, I am interested in hearing from the engineers. You see the driveway on the far, right there, <br />Maija, across the street? <br /> <br />COTTLE: My other right? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Yeah. <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
