CLARKSON: If you have no presentation, are there any questions from the Commission for the Applicant, his representative? I have a question if there are none others, and it's related to traffic again. Based on previous conversations about connectivity and the fact that this—is it Mailani Mailani Street Extension is going to dead-end, why there is no turnaround or way for people that go down that street to return without going into somebody's driveway or why, or correct me if I'm wrong, was there any, I don't remember it, but was there any requirement that the connecting road be completed? LINDNER: No, it was not requested or required. The initial plan was to come in off that street and dead-end there. CLARKSON: Just that way it is now only two blocks further down. LINDNER: Yeah, extension of 912 feet longer. CLARKSON: Okay. AU: Mr. Chair, I have a question. My question is in regards to cost. I noticed that you put down that cost is going to be about $475,000 to develop it. Can you just talk about that? What does that entail? Are you going clear the property? Are you going to put underground, overhead utilities? What—what does that $475,000 entail? LINDNER: The $475,000 is basically the amount to construct the road, do the drainage study, put in the curbs, gutters, sidewalks, water, and power. That does not include the amount of money for the rezoning. That's a separate issue. AU: Okay, thank you. CLARKSON: Any further questions from the Commission? If not, thank you. Please be seated. At this time, we have six people wishing to testify. I'm going to call up the first four—Ralph Yoshizumi, Dwight Vicente, Chris Yamasaki, and Patrick Gorman. Actually, we only have five people. We still only have four chairs. Please raise your right hands. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Commission today? YOSHIZUMI/YAMASAKI/GORMAN: Yes/I do. VICENTE: [No response.] CLARKSON: Thank you. Please let the record note that Mr. Vicente is unsworn. We'll start on my left. Would you introduce yourself, sir, and proceed with your testimony. YAMASAKL My name is Chris Yamasaki. I'm a resident on Kikaha Street, which is one street above Mailani. One of my questions here that—oh, please forgive me, this is the first time I'm doing this, but, one of the questions is that you mentioned that they're going to put I guess traditional sidewalks as far as infrastructure for the street, but I hear no mention of ADA compliance for the sidewalks. Is that something that's going to be also included? Because, EXHIBIT A 4
