somebody's property is draining into this area and you just need to respect that and take that water? YAMAMOTO:Yeah, we just have to -, that's part of what we'll be doing next is basically showing to the County Department of Public Works how we will capture the off-site water, whatever is draining onto the property, how we will get it down across Komohana. YAMASHIRO:I think part of the problem here is the property was all under common ownership at one time, and the developer that did that subdivision Crescent Heights or -, also owns the lower piece of property, and when he developed the subdivision, he just dumped the water onto the remainder of his property without any benefit of any easements or anything like that, so we just -, we'll respect that and have to convey the water through the property. MCCALL:Okay. Thank you. FUJIKAWA:Is there any other questions? Go ahead, Graham. GRAHAM:I would address this either to Mr. Yamashiro or Ms. Goldstein, whoever is appropriate, but we've heard a number of comments today to the fact that this is really a work in progress. Each time we have a meeting, there's a new set of -, a new set of things proposed, some of which is in response to issues that came up before but some of which may not be. And I guess I kind of wanted just a casual explanation from your side of the fence as to kind of what it looks like and, you know, why you're moving forward or why aren't you taking more time, and why does it appear this way to the people, and what's really going on with you folks that has given this impression that we have heard about today? YAMASHIRO:Well, the question as far as the number of units, I am not sure how they got that impression because I have always been very clear as to 600 units and 150 transient accommodation units and 350,000 square feet. Where they got the idea that it may be different or less, I don't know. Some of the changes have been in response to comments that were made by the participants in `` the meetings, like the access on mao and Wiliwili Street, that the communities in that area did not want to have the roadways tied in together, so it was decided not to make them through streets. But as far as the use, the project has always been projected as a mixed use residential- commercial subdivision of a given density. GRAHAM:I feel like you've spoken to the particulars, which may be what's appropriate, but as far as the general feeling, am I to understand then that when these public meetings started, you did have a plan which is very close to what you have now? YAMASHIRO:Basically. 25
