IWASHITA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m looking at Page 6 of what’s labeled Page 6 of the Background Report, well, it’s not Page 6 of the Report, it’s Page 6 of, Background and County Environmental Report Change of Zone request, I guess, prepared by the applicant which is attached to the County’s Background Report. And it appears to be an undated plot drawing done by Ron Nagata, AIA Inc. for a new office building for Allan Takase. And to the left or I guess it would be east of the building involved in this case, there’s a 15,094.67-square foot part of the lot. What’s on that part of the lot today? SONG: It’s Rehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific. IWASHITA: There’s a building there today? SONG: Yes, and parking. IWASHITA: Okay. When was that built? SONG: About the same time as the Punahele Professional Building. IWASHITA: Okay. SONG: Oh, I’m sorry, the Rehab Hospital is the other new building that’s -. I’m giving you wrong information. Oh, I think that’s just part of the hill. TAKASE: No, the Rehab is here. This is the Rehab. SONG: Okay. No, it is Rehab Hospital Pacific now. I’m sorry. This was early on in the rezoning process. IWASHITA: What is early on? SONG: This map was done for the rezoning of the Punahele Professional Building. IWASHITA: Okay. What alternatives if any has the applicant looked at in terms of expanding parking on the existing parcel? SONG: If you’re talking about building a multi-level parking structure, the cost is extremely prohibitive. The impact on the community, on neighboring communities, I think would be worse because if you have a multi-level parking structure people from the parking lot could look down on theses residential structures, on the residences. So I think it would have far more impact. IWASHITA: These are your thoughts or this is what the owner has actually looked into? SONG: Well, the owner has looked at it, too. IWASHITA: And what is the number that you’re describing as prohibitive? EXHIBIT C 20
