At this point I’d like to ask this Commission to help support the doctors and the medical professionals that are willing to do business in Hawaii County. It’s in the paper that we want to have more medical professionals, so we need to show them that we want them to stay here in Hawaii County; and I ask that you support the rezoning request of Punahele Professional Building. Thank you. GRAHAM: All right. Thank you, Ms. Cabral. Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Yes. No. 1, the previous testifier did not say it was the doctors and nurses who were performing those activities. It could have been anyone. So let’s clarify that first. The second thing is whenever someone comes in and says if you don’t do this then we’re going to do da, da, da, da, da. And the first thing that comes up for me when someone does that is like I think we’ll I was planning to vote for you but now I’m going to have second thoughts. So you might have just talked yourself out of something with me. Thank you. CABRAL: My apologies. GRAHAM: Do we have any further questions for Ms. Cabral? Commissioner Rho? RHO: I do. You have a chain-link fence now on three sides and it appears that they’re actually going over the curbing to get into the parking area, just from the pictures. CABRAL: No. We, and I apologize. First off, I have no authority to say what will be done. I’m just saying that there’s no reason for that Association to maintain a fence and a gate if they cannot use that land for their usage. And I think all of the objections or the primary objections are all for activities that occurred prior to us putting the chain-link fence or the gate up. What it is is when we were parking there last year, after Radiology came in and we needed the parking, we were entering off of Punahale Street. There was a gate there and we gated the two sides and people would drive in off of Punahale, they would then walk up into the parking lot, adjacent parking lot for the surgical center, and they’d step over a curb. There was no driving over a curb taking place. RHO: Okay. Anyway, my real question is whether or not, I guess, the owner of the lot has considered or would consider an alternative to the chain-link fence and planting. CABRAL: Yeah -. GRAHAM: Commissioner Rho, the only issue that comes from you right now is these sort of public witnesses and next to come is I would be calling the applicant backup. RHO: Oh, okay. GRAHAM: So if you have kind of applicant questions that you probably should just hold them for a minute. RHO: I assumed that she was the applicant. EXHIBIT C 13
