DARROW: Oh, I see what you are saying. BEAUDET: So having additional storage on site does not remediate the problems of a leak. It doesn’t help you to manage your water use. You know, I think the application is, the condition in itself speaks to the applicant accommodating the rules and the regulations as set forth by whatever department the conditions state. In this case it’s the Water Department. Again, it is not in the Commission’s purview to impose regulation for another department within the County system. So, I don’t know if we want further dialogue on this? HICKCOX: Mr. Chair, excuse me. As a matter of record, the questions that we asked in reference to what the applicant has planned to address the issues, I think it will be a matter of record. And this, if there is any kind of sanctions or enforcement action that needs to be taken in the future, it will be done so by the Board of Water Supply, not by the Planning Commission. But it is a matter of record that the applicant has been made aware of it and has told this body that they would be addressing it. COMMAND: Mr. Chairman, I’ll make note of this and speak to the Director, and make sure that we start another conversation with Department of Water Supply, just begin another conversation about this issue. BEAUDET: Thank you. Commissioner Giffin? GIFFIN: Yes? BEAUDET: Any follow-up comments? GIFFIN: No, thank you. BEAUDET: Thank you. Would the applicant want to take the opportunity to close, maybe address some of the dialogue that has happened before you? OKAGI: Yes, we are so sorry. We, yeah, and so the plumbing has kind of been a nightmare on this property from the get-go, and we’ve had to address numerous issues. And we should have absolutely been on top of the bill escalating in that fashion, but we’ve had other things going on. So now that it has been brought to our attention, we absolutely intend to address the leak both for our own interest and also making sure that we are not impacting our neighbors and the fellow residents. So please rest assured that we will take care of that as soon as possible. BEAUDET: Thank you. So I’ll ask if any further comments by the Commissioners for the applicant. WHITTEMORE: I have a question on a different subject. So do you want to close this portion of the question? BEAUDET: Yeah, maybe we should close. Thank you for your time. I have in front of me that we have no one from the audience who has signed in for public testimony – and you may take your seats, I’m sorry. With that, Commissioner Whittemore. 10 EXHIBIT A
