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 some 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 hereI 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 here, 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?
