CARR SMITH: Okay—
<br />VAN PERNIS: —involving from Henry Street to Puapua`anui, Lako, Kam III intersections, none of
<br />which, or two, two of which were studied by this traffic study.
<br />CARR SMITH: Thank you. Any other Commissioners like to comment since we are in the
<br />discussion phase here with the motion on the table? Faye, did you want to say something?
<br />YATES: Yes, I agree, you know, I really, really am concerned about that more than anything else
<br />[inaudible] I don't know, but, yeah, I'm concerned about people-�who live there, bad condition, and,
<br />you know, overall I just, it just kind of seems congested the way itis. So, I go along with the
<br />favorable [sic] recommendation.
<br />CARR SMITH: Thank you. Perry? Do you have anything?
<br />KEALOHA: Yeah, I will say that this is difficult for me because I respect the people involved in the
<br />project. But 15 years is a long time, and another ten, a lot hap- you know; ifs a, 25 years is a
<br />generation. And we've already seen multiple CDPs:` :A lot has changed within, our community. And
<br />I don't feel we are being asked to approve a development or,proposed development; I feel like we
<br />are being asked to make a positive, affirmative recommendation on a real estate sale. And I have a
<br />hard time tying up property entitlemeA s,'ffor anmentire generation for the purpose of a real estate sale,

<br />has asked: ' So to me, if we were going to make --a decision today as it is, I would also be on the side
<br />of unfavorable ruling basest on the discussion today.
<br />CARR SMITH: Yes, Mark.
<br />VAN PERNIS: `I_want to make',orie thing clear. I respect Mr.'Fuke. I admired his work when he
<br />was planning director. I can send -my clients there to be represented by him. But as planning
<br />director, I don't think yo% -would ever, ever approve this project, with all these waivers and delays
<br />and - - - I think it's a blight on,his record. I think that Mr. Fuke should be embarrassed about asking
<br />for approval of this project. `I"deeply respect his past work - - -
<br />CARR SMITH: - - - okay. Mike, did you have something?
<br />VITOUSEK: Yes, I just wanted to—well, first off, disagree with the previous statement and leave it
<br />at that—but, keeping it on subject, you know, the purpose of what we are reviewing here is zoning
<br />application, right? We have a stale ordinance for zoning, and when an ordinance becomes stale, it's
