GRAHAM:Okay. So even though this map reads at the bottom January 2005 that <br />doesn€t mean it€s the current map. <br />EMLER:That€s correct. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. Well thanking the public for your patience. You had to wait a <br />long time but I guess the good side to waiting is that your public testimony will come closer to <br />when the Commissioners are actually deciding on the application. So I have 4 of you let me find <br />the names and I€ll ask you to come forward to the table. I have Joel Gimpel, Walter Kimura, <br />Sammie Stanbro and Wattie Mae Hedemann. If any or all of you are here would you please <br />come forward? Thank you. I€d like to swear you in. Could you raise your right hand and wait <br />just a second. <br />HEDEMANN:I didn€t know you wanted us to come up at the same time. <br />GRAHAM:I€m sorry. <br />HEDEMANN:That€s all right. <br />GRAHAM:Could you raise your right hand? And do you swear or affirm to tell the <br />truthonthismatternowbeforetheHawaiiCountyPlanningCommission? <br />TESTIFIERS:I do. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. On my list I have Joel Gimpel. Would you like to testify first <br />Joel? <br />GIMPEL:Yes, thank you Mr. Chairman. <br />GRAHAM:I don€t suppose you need to give address and all again so go ahead. <br />GIMPEL:I suppose not and I appreciate the opportunity to testify. First I have to <br />leave in a little while because I have to head down to Kailua-Kona and actually to Kainaliu in <br />traffic to conduct this evening. Anyway, thanks for <br />Joseph the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat <br />the opportunity to testify on this application. We note that it differs primarily from the first <br />application that was filed by this applicant regarding which we did submit comments to both the <br />Planning Department. Well to the Planning Department in June last year, in that the Salvation <br />Army Complex and affordable housing units have been added, and also the affordable housing <br />units will be on site. In December of last year, we filed comments with the Planning Department <br />regarding the revised application, but as we noted then there were no changes designed to <br />alleviatethetrafficsafetyandcongestionconcernsthatwe€draised.Accordingly,ourprevious <br />comments regarding those issues still apply. Indeed, the addition of 16 housing units and the <br />SalvationArmyComplex,whichwilladdatleast100vehicletripsperdaytothe250ormore <br />trips that will be generated by the 57 residential units, will exacerbate the concerns we first <br />expressedlastJune.Iwon€titeratethetraffic-relatedcommentswenotedinthoseJuneand <br />December 28 letters other than to say that they should be in your record and you can refer to <br />EXHIBIT E <br />20 <br /> <br />
