more likely to get traffic coming in from Agasas and Punahoa to them because there is parking on Punahoa Street. And so, you know, if there wasn’t enough parking on-site for the medical facility, people would try to park on Punahoa. Punahoa is also going to have traffic because people will try to park there to walk to the Farmers Market. And so you said that there is a sidewalk on Nawahi on the other side of the road? DARROW: Correct. LEITHEAD TODD: Okay. DARROW: There’s a picture. Where the vehicles are parked in here, there’s a sidewalk that runs along the left side of the road. LEITHEAD TODD: Okay. So it seems to me that the critical thing is to provide a sidewalk on Punahoa more than anything else; and, you know, perhaps some of that we could address in plan approval. But I can’t see doing this without some type of a sidewalk on Punahoa. I understand you want to have the off-street parking, and that’s actually good for Downtown Hilo. But we do need some kind of a sidewalk. And I also thought that sliver that you have on Nawahi where you wanted to put potted plants, perhaps that could be a small sidewalk, too. So I thought that, you know, maybe they could work with Public Works in the plan approval section on this. But I can’t see you going in without the sidewalk on Punahoa Street. WOODWARD: Yes, sir. DUERLER: Yeah, and, you know, we’re definitely fine with working with Public Works. It’s just that the number of requirements -. And, you know, one of the, the reason the plants were put there was that was another, you know, the EnVision Downtown, you know, talking with the folks they wanted part of a landscaping screen for the parking, so to incorporated that. And, too, I mean, it’s all of these requirements just trying to look -. You know, I definitely agree sidewalks are important and, you know, for our type of service, and parking is very important. So -. WOODWARD: All right. Well it seemed to me that we have a commitment from the Planning Department to work with Public Works and to work with you. I don’t know that we can change conditions necessarily, but they have at least given that degree of flexibility. So I think that that’s probably the way it’s going to be. Is that, would that be acceptable to you to leave the condition in with the idea that there will be some flexibility? Planning Department will work with Public Works and with you? DUERLER: That’s okay with me. WOODWARD: Okay, very good. All right. Okay, just for the record we have nobody from the 6 EXHIBIT B
