We may not need him. 32 00:02:43.350 --> 00:02:58.230 CHaslun: We do listen to into the briefing yesterday and I have to say. And honestly, we were just taken aback. We really thought we were much farther along in this application based on the prior meetings and what was stated in this meeting. 33 00:02:59.250 --> 00:03:07.380 CHaslun: At January 7 then on March 10 so any and I went back last night and read the transcripts, again, of those two meetings. 34 00:03:07.770 --> 00:03:18.090 CHaslun: To try to figure out how we misunderstood this Commission as to where we were with this project, which we thought was being created very favorably and that we were really down to a point where we could 35 00:03:19.170 --> 00:03:26.220 CHaslun: Tonight after tonight. Good. A RC and proceed or way and I think that was what the chair and Katie to us. Near the end of that hearing 36 00:03:26.790 --> 00:03:38.370 CHaslun: What we understood and I'd like to go back just take a few minutes to go look at those transcripts sections. What we understood where the two open items that we wanted to discuss tonight, which is a third preliminary hearing was the 37 00:03:39.810 --> 00:03:49.680 file:////gthdata2/landuseusers$/PLarow/Desktop/GMT20200421-210110_Planning-a.transcript.vtt.txt[4/27/2020 4:02:16 PM] CHaslun: Weather, we could pull the building back from the post road. And if we could also consider putting the building back from the rear property line a bit to that was Mr. Fox his suggestion. 38 00:03:50.850 --> 00:03:59.670 CHaslun: That was the principal issue. And the second one was Mr. Mack right had pointed out that there were some significant trees up on the western slope. 39 00:04:00.600 --> 00:04:09.300 CHaslun: And did we have any knowledge of the condition of those trees and so we hired an arborist from Bill Kennedy's office to establish 40 00:04:10.110 --> 00:04:20.910 CHaslun: That condition. And I can tell you that it's poor her report is packet it's close to the front. And I'm not sure which page, it is, but there is one tree that she said was 41 00:04:21.330 --> 00:04:28.170 CHaslun: Good conditioner okay condition the restaurant and for condition. In addition, end talk has reached out to the neighbor. 42 00:04:28.770 --> 00:04:37.440 CHaslun: To the west and Dominic defeat. I was the owner of that property and he agrees with me that it would be better to take those trees down. 43 00:04:37.770 --> 00:04:43.590 CHaslun: And we've agreed in principle to work together to establish a planting plan between our mutual properties. 44 00:04:44.190 --> 00:04:55.590 CHaslun: So those were the two things we understood where remaining for consideration by the Commission and let's just go over the transcripts briefly to explain to you why we came to that conclusion. 45 00:04:57.450 --> 00:04:57.990 CHaslun: First of all, 46 00:04:59.130 --> 00:05:01.290 CHaslun: It's 38 of the transcript for the last hearing 47 00:05:02.790 --> 00:05:07.740 CHaslun: Resolving stated. So here's kind of my take on it. If we can settle on the big issues. 48 00:05:08.280 --> 00:05:16.260 CHaslun: The parking we've done. So you had established the parking issue would have been resolved. You went on to say the masking the height.

And, you know, you're like, you need to hear from us that we're okay with FA IR where it is. 51 00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:35.850 CHaslun: And it's dramatic is on death bottom of that page 39 52 00:05:36.420 --> 00:05:49.740 CHaslun: I'm not too sure if we were not correct enough, but we were looking for. You push the second floor back. But I think what we are looking for us actually to have a whole building pushed back again getting to that relationship between the curve and the height of the building. 53 00:05:52.440 --> 00:05:55.350 CHaslun: Mr Mackey last letter on page 43 54 00:05:58.230 --> 00:05:58.800 CHaslun: Says, 55 00:05:59.910 --> 00:06:08.700 CHaslun: Again, the architecture will let a RC kind of run with that because I'm seeing all kinds of interesting things that I have questions about, but I don't want to get into the detail.
