earthquake, you know, the ground just shook unbelievably. And unbeknownst at the time, we found out later that we did have some serious damage. We had to replace tanks in our sewage treatment facility and we also had our pool, our swimming pool, completely resurfaced shortly after that particular thing. Unfortunately, at the time the construction took place, we were not really aware that damage was being done. And when we found the damage the feeling was that it would be very difficult for us to prove the source of the damage, so, you know, we were not able to seek any relief for the damage that was done. And this proposed complex on our south boundary would be an exact replica of what happened on the other side. So we are fearful that, you know, it will damage our building, our structures, our parking lot, our swimming pool, our sewage treatment plant, our foundations. Secondly, our objection is to the traffic problem that is created. No. 1 was their proposed ingress-egress which now IÓm being told that theyÓre planning to change. But if itÓs that proposed plan, ingress and egress spot, it would really create a traffic hazard. You know, people coming around the corner from Kuakini Highway coming down Circle, immediately they could be a cause of an accident. And if an accident should occur there at a peak period, traffic period time, emergency vehicles would have a very difficult time getting to the location because there is no other entrance or outlet to Seaview Circle. Also, the effect on on-street parking. Right at this moment in time, our complex, we have 21 units and we provide 21 parking stalls plus 7 guest parking stalls, and we allow our residents to use these guest parking stalls. But, currently, I think we have about 5 cars that seek on-street parking, and that just about fills up whatever is available in that area. So an additional, this additional project, if another 5 cars had to seek on-street parking, you know, they would be seeking on-street parking a block or more away from where they live. So that would be another problem that this project would create. And just the sheer addition of another 20 cars every day having to go in and out of Seaview Circle would complicate the already heavy traffic situation. FUJIKAWA:Any questions, Commissioners? Yeah, Ralph, your facility, is it on the left side of the drawing on -? MESICK:Left side of the drawing. FUJIKAWA:Or is it located right directly, right next door? MESICK:Correct. FUJIKAWA:Graham? GRAHAM:Ralph, I just wanted to point out a little background, as understand it, just to sort of make sure weÓre on the same page; and if the Planning 5
