background report I do have a letter from Hawaii Water Service dated January 6 that says that
<br /> they are within the existing service territories, and that they
<br /> ROY: Yeah, for water, but all the infrastructure has to be built. And wastewater there is none;
<br /> absolutely, there's no system. In fact, the system, the area has to be approved, and the expansion
<br /> area to include this has to be approved by the PUC. And while it's great that the private entity
<br /> provided a letter saying they would pursue that, they still have a long way to go to get PUC
<br /> approval to expand their service area and then develop that wastewater system for commercial
<br /> development and the 32-unit apartment complex. So, yes, water is available and based on but
<br /> the other concern that we - - - commercial activities, it's hard to say how much water would be
<br /> necessary. You know, there are many different ways that you could use water. Some would be
<br /> more or less, so without knowing specifics, I don't think anybody could say how much water is
<br /> necessary for this entire development of the 11.707 acres.
<br /> CARR SMITH: Thank you. Anybody else? Faye or Perry, do you have any input here?
<br /> DARROW: Max is raising his hand, Chair.
<br /> CARR SMITH: Sorry. Hi Max, go ahead.
<br /> NEWBERG: Hi. So, toward Zendo's comments regarding the commercial aspect, mainly the
<br /> hardware store, construction supply, is there a, is it conceptual? Are you, are you looking to
<br /> partner with like specific stores or, regarding the construction materials, things of that nature?
<br /> KERN: I'll let Dan - - - Mr. Julkowski is currently a hardware store operator, and I'll let him
<br /> speak to those particulars.
<br /> D. JULKOWSKL I,just to give a little background on me, I've been self-employed for 42 years.
<br /> I've been a general contractor quite a few years, the last 24 years. I have two lumber yards: one
<br /> in Cook, Minnesota, the other one in Tower, Minnesota. They're both True Value stores. I have
<br /> a full commitment with True Value. We are more leaning towards what I call Ace; I'll be
<br /> honest, because I've checked them out, I wouldn't be doing this unless I know a little bit about
<br /> the people I work with and stuff. They're more, I would say a craft store, where I would be more
<br /> into a, where a contractor to come in to actually be able to do a project, a plumbing project,
<br /> especially irrigation, that's really big in that area. Theirs is a four-foot area; ours would be a
<br /> 16- or 20-foot area. So, it would be more of an area covering that department. That's what our
<br /> stores are known for. We're more of a, a Destination, True Value calls them Destination True
<br /> Values. Ours is, I'll be honest with you, it's more designed around women. Women tend to do
<br /> more shopping than men these days, going out, so we kind of designed this more for ladies and
<br /> stuff to come in. We have housewares, we have an auto, but it's not like starters and stuff, it's
<br /> just the stuff you use every day, oils, lubrication, stuff like that, but also we'd have tires for your
<br /> golf cart or something. So, it covers more of an area. Ours is—and I do have the layout of
<br /> everything, I'm glad to send you guys how it's laid out. The other thing, too, I have to make a
<br /> correction; for some reason somebody has the store turned the wrong way on that layout, that
<br /> first layout you guys gave us. It doesn't, it's not that way. It's, actually, the parking is, as you
<br /> drive in, for some reason it got turned. And we are not in—I call the waterway—we are not in
