concerning the owners who met with Mr. Fuke and the architect back in 2015. And expressed 8 items in that document that we would like to have considered and for the most part they're in the record with regard to the follow up documentation. But the reason I come today is, I want the Planning Commission to know that the Kaulana Project is right adjacent to the development, and we are very interested in being good neighbors to this project and we have 44 units that are there. I'm not representing the 44 units today, but there are 44 units there that will be subject to everything that goes on with the new construction, grading and excavating and all that sort of thing. So, our concern is this the concern of I have is mostly related to as the project is built and hopefully that the concerns that were brought in 2015 will still be abided by and that we can have communication back and forth with the developers as it goes on to make sure that they are. There's been some concern over the last three years about keeping the property up in terms of brush management and the feral ungulates and all that sort of stuff. So, we haven't really had any conversations with the developers because I think we couldn't get in touch with them for a while and there's been almost a 50%turnover of the condos since 2015. So, we kind of just wanted to shore all this up and make sure that we can have some sort of conversation as we go through. That's number one and then number two is there's a comment on Page 45 of the background, it's paragraph 5 of the memo that deals with keeping the property cleaned up, homeless, I guess trying to live on the property and in such. Because it's like a lot of brush there that people can hide in as well as the feral ungulates and I just want to say I hope we can have some more dialogue because we tried to contact the owners and had a hard time, and the brush was just not kept trim down and so hopefully we can start the conversation again now. And the third thing and this is the last thing that I have is there's 8 items on the concerns that are Exhibit J and the one that I wanted to bring to your attention, I didn't see really addressed. It said in the original documents it was going to be addressed by the Public Works and that's dealing with site drainage. There's a 25-foot well that's documented on there that was going to be brought to the attention of the Public Works and in the Public Works response I didn't see anything relating to that. So, I'll just let, I don't want to repeat what's already in the record for you. I know because you have a lot of things to go over, but, if you could just take a look at those 8 items and then if anybody has any questions, I'll be glad to answer. VITOUSEK: Thank you very much.
