GRAHAM: Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Thank you. I’m wondering in terms of the timeline and everything else, if this motion of Commissioner Galdones fails and if somebody were to make a motion, for example, to delay Commission action until a TIAR can be presented to us, how would that affect the timeline of this application? HAYASHI: If I may respond. Based on the Code requirement, once the application is filed with the Planning Commission you have 90 days in which to make a recommendation and forward that recommendation to the County Council, except that if agreed to by the applicant then it can be extended. GRAHAM: Thank you, Mr. Hayashi. Commissioner Alameda. ALAMEDA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don’t know if this appropriate but I wanted to just ask that when the TIAR is conducted that it is conducted during school because of that Waiakea Elementary and Intermediate School, it’s the whole artery there, that’s the issue, I think, and then during peak hours. Is that an appropriate request? YUEN: I wouldn’t put it in. These are the kinds of things that the DOT looks at; and sometimes I have seen rejection of a TIAR because it was not done in an appropriate timeframe. So rather than we trying to sit here and spell out the parameters this is what they need, they need to make sure that it’s done in the right way, and I wouldn’t get into that level of detail. Just to follow-up, when is the 90 days? I’m sorry, when is the -?. HAYASHI: It was filed actually today with the Planning Commission. YUEN: Oh, I’m sorry, right. The Planning Commission has 90 days. HAYASHI: Yes, they have 90 days from today. GRAHAM: I’d like to ask Mr. Torigoe a question, just procedurally. So before we take this vote, I mean, we have a current motion on the floor, we’re about ready to take a vote. The application before us is not finished once we take the vote, so that someone else can come up with another motion, maybe incorporating the suggestion made by the applicant. And if that fails, maybe we can make a motion to continue until something is done and see if the applicant agrees. Otherwise, if we don’t pass anything it just automatically continues to the next hearing. Is that all right, or do you have any direction as to how we are procedurally to go forward? TORIGOE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That’s basically correct, that if you cannot get five votes to do anything in particular today then it just goes on for another, until the 90-day period is over or, I guess, the applicant agrees to a longer period for whatever action the Commission proposes, that’s another possibility. The discussion with the TIAR that has been talked about the last couple of minutes I’m not sure how long it would take to get a TIAR and it may not be available in 90 days, so you may want to make sure that the applicant is agreeable to that. The applicant could also say, no, we don’t want to extend the time, you know, and just say EXHIBIT B 24
