The intersection question that came up, that has been being punted for as long as I can remember
<br />being on Council for the roundabout area, and it continues to be punted. Meanwhile, there's a
<br />large-scale commercial development closer to that intersection than this request; yet nothing
<br />happens. That's interesting.
<br />I think it's also important to look at the map when you guys looked at the LUPAG Map, the
<br />Land Use Pattern Allocation Guide Map, that across the street it shows it as EA or Extensive Ag,
<br />but it's actually zoned CV -10, the same request that we have in a similar nature. So it's
<br />obviously been, been done. When I looked at this, I said, you know, is it, is it perfect? Maybe
<br />it's not perfect, but you have commercial across the street, you'.ve got commercial 300 feet
<br />makai of it and in the Village, and you basically have commercial' around this project, and that
<br />little triangle piece would essentially close out the area of potential commercial growth in that
<br />area. If this was, you know, a half mile or a mile up, up`the street, it just wouldn't make sense.
<br />So I would say here that it's subjective enough to, to make sense.',
<br />Water is available to the property. Waikoloa Water Company said it is, and, there's a letter to
<br />that, to that effect. Wastewater will need to be -:addressed, and it's clear that there's certain
<br />elements that do need to be addressed, such as egress,. ingress; TIAR, and soine.wastewater, but I
<br />think it'd be - - -
<br />CARR SMITH: Zendo, pause for a second here. Rachelle, is.- - - Rachelle? - - - All right, we
<br />know this is challenging trying to bring people-.in'and test them and have them stand by so, I
<br />think the feedback is gone now. Zendo, if -you can continue.
<br />KERN: Thank you very.much, I appreciate that. = So,;:yeah; water's available, wastewater needs
<br />to be resolved. So long -'story short on that is the applicant has-been more than willing to address
<br />the issues that are coming up, the mitigation measures that need to occur within reason, but I do
<br />believe that everybody here -could agree that if you're,coming up, especially when you hear the
<br />rest of the_ story; -if you're coming up against ;a; a firm,no support, you're going to want to limit
<br />the amount that you spend; until you can get a little, further along. And if there is support, I think
<br />the applicant is, again, happy to do that- and that can be done in, stated in the conditions and
<br />worked out_in`a manner that's it',s creating a good project and safety. So, simply, it's got, you
<br />know, commercial zoning all around it. It's here—I think it's also really important to put out
<br />that this original -property was the 'affordable housing component for Waikoloa Highlands that
<br />had 80 -some units going in on there, slated for that. And then that changed. So I think I'm
<br />going to take a quick pause at, this -"point in time, turn it over to Mr. Julkowski so he can share his
<br />story about how he got hefe, ;and then we can close it out, and then we are happy to answer any
<br />questions and get into a dialogue.
<br />Mr. Julkowski, you available? Please unmute, if you're speaking.
<br />CARR SMITH: He turned off his camera.
<br />KERN: - - - just came on; I see a, the corner, there's—can you see that?—like a caution
<br />symbol?
