RAFFIPIY: So, the clarification is you agree with everything except for that Condition J to modify it from 1.8 to 1.5, right? AU: That was Condition E. RAFFIPIY: Condition E, I'm sorry. Condition E,yes. AU: Yes, and the original Applicant's proposal to delete Condition J. RAFFIPIY: Okay, any second? CLARKSON: Second. RAFFIPIY: Who made the second? CLARKSON: Commissioner Clarkson. RAFFIPIY: Okay, it's been moved and seconded that we. Well, the motion that's stated by Mr. Au, I don't want to go back and read the whole thing. Any discussion on that motion? AU: Yes, since I made the motion can I start off with discussion? RAFFIPIY: Go ahead. AU: I just want to say that I appreciate any developer that's going to come forward and address affordable housing units. We all know the story everybody knows the story for the need of affordable units. We need to move whatever project we can to create more inventory for the Hawaii island people. It is important for me as a Commissioner being here and representing the people of the Big Island. It is important to hire local contractors that hire local people because they're going to be local people that will be living in these homes. So, to me that is very important the Applicant had stated that and that's an important factor. Affordability is one thing. But it is the people that are going to be living in it they have to be able to afford these units to live in and that's where the jobs come from. So, that's the only comment I have. RAFFIPIY: Thank you, any other discussions? Alright. REPLOGLE: I have one. RAFFIPIY: Go ahead. REPLOGLE: I have a statement. I disagree with the 1.5 parking I prefer the Director's recommendation for 1.8. Not having enough parking turns into a real problem and creates induced stress I believe and 1.8 isn't that much more than 1.5. Anyway, that's my comment on it. Thank you. RAFFIPIY: Great, any other discussions? EXHIBIT A 25
