WOODWARD: Very good. Sir, would you like to begin? Please speak into the microphone. <br />DUERLER: I don’t have too much to add about the general information. We did have one <br />concern with, actually, related to the amended condition and the sidewalk improvements. We <br />understand that it’s a pretty small, I mean it’s a pretty small lot to begin with. We feel it’s <br />satisfactory for what we propose to do. But we were, we worked really hard to try to maximize <br />the off-street parking, which we feel is important. And if you look at the Planning Department’s <br />recommendation it’s at least 15 parking stalls, 2 ADA accessible stalls which are obviously very <br />important, a loading zone, two stairwells because it is, you know, tsunami area, so that would be <br />elevated. And then the concern was with additional sidewalk requirements, we don’t, you know, <br />we haven’t looked at it specifically but I think it would be very hard to fulfill all of those <br />requirements. And so that was just one thing that, you know, I wanted to bring up. And, you <br />know, obviously we feel off-street parking is an important thing for the use of it. I don’t have <br />anything else. <br />WOODWARD: Okay, any questions? Commissioner Domingo? <br />DOMINGO: What is the length of the proposed curbs and gutters that we’re looking at if they <br />were to build it? <br />WOODWARD: I believe it’s the sidewalk they’re talking about, sidewalk? <br />DOMINGO: Yeah, the sidewalk. <br />DARROW: The width of the sidewalk or the length? <br />DOMINGO: The length. <br />DARROW: The length would be along both Punahoa Street as well as Nawahi Street. <br />DOMINGO: I see. <br />DARROW: If I could interject on this. The reason for the condition is based on the Department <br />rd <br />of Public Works’ Memorandum dated February 23. The last sentence in the memorandum <br />states that “In the interest of pedestrian safety, the applicant should provide concrete sidewalks <br />along the property’s frontages of Nawahi Lane and Punahoa Street.” On Nawahi Lane, as we <br />saw earlier, we do have sidewalks along the left side of the road. But on the applicant’s <br />particular side of the property, there are no sidewalks. Additionally on Punahoa Street there are <br />no sidewalks. So the concern is that people might be walking directly on the roadway. <br />MITCHELL: May I respond to that? <br />WOODWARD: Sure. <br />3 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
