within what the Envision Downtown Hilo 2025 aspires to be and what we support. And so I ask <br />you please on behalf of the Hilo DIA that this should be approved. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Do we have any questions of -? <br />SIRACUSA: Mr. Chairman? <br />WATANABE: Yes, Ms. Siracusa. <br />SIRACUSA: Yeah, certainly the market has a tremendous impact on Hilo and there are <br />a lot of people I know, you know, even from Puna who come out to the market, especially on <br />Wednesdays because they can’t wait till Sundays for our own market. And you definitely need <br />help with the tarps and gravel. <br />My first impression was that the three stories was bothering me, you know, and thinking about <br />how it would block viewplanes. And I was surprised that the Downtown Improvement <br />Association didn’t have concerns about the viewplanes being blocked. But hearing that the third <br />floor has been scaled down, that the architecture is going to be in keeping with the surrounding <br />architecture, and thinking about it directly upslope of the market there are no residences that, you <br />know, whose vision would be blocked by the third story, I’ve changed my mind about that <br />particular issue. And thank you both for, and Jeff as well, for mentioning those things because <br />that answered the concerns that I had. <br />MELROSE: You’re very welcome. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Do we have any further questions of the testifiers? Well, you <br />may be seated. We’ve had quite a bit of testimony and discussion so maybe a motion might be <br />in order. <br />WOODWARD: Mr. -. <br />SIRACUSA: I’ll make a -. <br />WATANABE: Commissioner Woodward? <br />WOODWARD: I will yield to Commissioner Siracusa. <br />WATANABE: Oh, okay. <br />SIRACUSA: Okay, you can second it then. <br />WOODWARD: Okay. <br />IWASHITA: I wanted to make the motion. <br /> EXHIBIT B 19 <br /> <br /> <br />
