be a temporary type of use, or, you know, the zoning should be done on the basis of just the land area that's needed to accommodate this particular type of use. There are too many serious considerations that have to be addressed with this proposed zoning to grant an upzoning so automatically. I understand it's in the Urban design district; but nevertheless, there still has to be some concerns addressed. And I think once you increase the zoning on that site, it's going to be very difficult for this Commission or the County Council to reject future applications along that line. So, basically, I think it should be taken a look at on a special permit basis. But if not, the very worst scenario, it should be extremely conditioned with a requirement for additional public hearings if they ever come back for additional developmen that they would try to do that at some future date. Thank you v SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Coup. And as you know, the Hawai`i County Planning Commission is making a recommendation to the County Council, and there will be opportunity for additional review and comment at that time. COUPE:Thank you. SPRINGER:Thank you. Now we'll hear from Mr. Hauanio, followed b Mr. Matsukawa. HAUANIO:Aloha, Ms. Chair, Aloha Commission Members. I'm Lunakanawai Hauanio, P.O. Box 871, Captain Cook 96704. I was wondering if I could utilize this map a little bit. Thanks, Daryn. Commissioners, if you guys can recall the point, PowerPoint presentation. What caught my attention was they identified Konawaena High School, and then the middle school is going to come into this area, yeah, they're constructing them now, but we get here, also. They have the Hawaiian Immersion Program up there. Okay? Then what I neva notice was, where is the elementary school? I presentation. The elementary school is -. Daryn, you can help me? Okay. So the elementary school is some place around here, okay. So you got traffic for this school, this school. Now our Hawaiian kids, we get the Hawaiian Home Lands, majority of the Hawaiians, they all stay down, what do you call, Kealakehe side. So they got to commute, come up. Some by bus, most of them cars because, I don they get traffic, what you call, transportation kind of issues. But you got the Konawaena Elementary School right here. And I was wondering why they never identify the traffic impact that's going into this area, as well. Okay? I don't know with this intersection, but it's a nightmare. This bugga is awesome. We're trying to get buses to go in and out of this place, plus high school kids. I don't know if you guys get high school kids, heavy on the pedal, low silhouettes, okay. That's a problem. Why? Because they fly on that road. They're flying. 18
