WATANABE: Yeah, you were the Chair. <br />OLSON: I was the Chair, I should know. <br />ALAMEDA: Mr. Chair? <br />WATANABE: Yes, Mr. Alameda. <br />ALAMEDA: Just a quick question. Why didn’t you make the change prior to making <br />the final document? <br />OLSON: Because the final document was already printed and the County had <br />already paid the contractor who did the work all the money they were going to pay him. And <br />that was that for that. <br />ALAMEDA: Thank you. <br />IWASHITA: What, Mr. Chair? I’m sorry. <br />WATANABE: Yes. <br />IWASHITA: What page are you referring to? <br />OLSON: If you start with page -. <br />IWASHITA: No, at the bottom there’s 4-, you know, the page number. <br />OLSON: The page number, there is no page in mine. Oh, mine is, it’s 5-7; and that <br />describes what is to be contained in a regional town center. And that verbiage is not consistent <br />with what was printed as about the Pahoa regional town center. It says so at the header; but you <br />read it and the two are not consistent with one another. The service area is much larger for a <br />regional town center. A regional town center is to serve a population of 35,000 to 50,000 <br />people, not just the people who live in Pahoa. So, you know, that’s, it’s clear right there, you <br />can read it for yourself. And so it should be treated in that respect that it is a regional town <br />center; and that was our intent for Pahoa as it was for Keaau. That’s what was designated as <br />regional town centers. <br />IWASHITA: Mr. Chair, if I can follow up? <br />WATANABE: Sure. <br />IWASHITA: Thank you. So basically what you’re saying is that even though the map <br />has a line that says this is community uses that that line does not define regional town center and <br />that we need to look at the Plan’s definition? <br />05 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
