SIRACUSA:Okay. So Im trying to see how much were looking at in terms ofaction ontothe highway, which is a high-speed highway. State Department of Transportation has refused to put in a traffic light there. We were discussing it at the meetings about the Fire Department and the Police Station and, because there are a lot of accidents that happen right at the intersection of Kahakai with the Bypass. Would you point to that, please. Thank you. Right there. And now some of the traffic going into Malama Market and out of it is pretty hellacious; and its only because people are being really careful that nothing has happened there yet. So Im very concerned about putting something else -. I have, on page 1 of the background report, Norman, No. 2, reasons for the request, it says According to the applicant, there are no existing self storage facilities serving Pahoa with the nearest facilities in Keaau and Hilo operating at capacity. Was this written prior to the approval of J&Js? HAYASHI:No. This was written after, the application came in after the self storage facilitywas,thefirstphaseoftheselfstoragefacilitywasestablished.Sotheselfstoragefacility was in place when this application came in. Just to let you -. SIRACUSA:Okay, so this is not an accurate statement? HAYASHI:Well, yeah, this is what the applicant had provided to us. SIRACUSA:Right.

So -. And I have another question here; and weve never seen something like this, not since Ive been on the Commission. The applicant, under proposed development, No. 1, second bullet on page 1, just above the boldface type of that Exhibit A, it says, The applicant states that he will contribute the property to a new LLC to be formed (tentatively Pahoa Storage Partners, Limited Liablity Company), of which the applicant will be a part owner. Ive never, its interesting to me, you know, like contribute a profit-making business or -. Im wondering, for a while there was a sign on that property that said Blue Rock Storage, and Im wondering if this is the same thing, if these are the same people involved -. Who are these people going to be or, I mean, who will these other part owners be? HAYASHI:May I defer that question to the applicants representative when he appears? SIRACUSA:You may indeed. Thank you, Norman. ALAMEDA:Theres no further questions for -? Commissioner Graham, go ahead. GRAHAM:I have one further question for Norman. This is in regard to Exhibit L from the Pahoa Main Street. And the next to the last paragraph where Mr. Tucker indicates, The County of Hawaii at the time the bypasses were planned and developed provided 4EXHIBIT B
