much room to work with. We have an existing Industrial area. We have been an expanding port. <br />The plans aren't shown on there but they're going to move out the pier and the container yard and <br />everything. We had big plans to go behind on Railroad Avenue to make a beautiful park and <br />bridge, but that's too environmentally sensitive. And the new cargo and the pier put that out of <br />the question because of Homeland Security. <br />The trucks are an issue. We have been working in constant discussions with the State <br />Department of Transportation. And when it comes to truck traffic, which is our major economic <br />transit way, we do have to acknowledge that it has been difficult to find a solution. There is not <br />a lot of room to work with. So we're trying to make the walk more attractive, try to expand <br />maybe the sidewalk. But there is not a lot of room for bicycles, except for the existing bike lane <br />that is there. I am hoping that as the trail starts to get developed that people will see the glaring <br />disparity between the projects and maybe help some more trying to perfect that area around the <br />Port. But that is a problematic part. <br />Around Ice Pond there is an interesting little development, you know, where the kids go jumping <br />into the Ice Pond. The plan includes a cantilevered deck on the inside because there is no <br />roadway room, so people can walk down on that. But that was the most problematic part of the <br />plan actually. Do you have anything to add to that, Ron? <br />TERRY: No, I think you did good. <br />DYKSTRA: Okay. <br />KERN: Very good. Thank you. Is that, do we have any other questions? <br />ONO: Thank you for acknowledging that that is the most difficult part. That was my primary <br />concern. Thank you. <br />KERN: Very good. Any other questions for the applicant? Seeing none, you all may have a <br />seat. Thank you very much. Anyone wanted to entertain a motion? Commissioner Au? <br />AU: I make a motion to approve County of Hawai‘i Department, Applicant: County of Hawai‘i <br />Department of Research and Development, SMA 11-045. <br />KERN: Is there a second? <br />ONO: Second <br />KERN: Okay, motion has been made and seconded. Clarification, that is with conditions, yeah, <br />as it states? <br />AU: Yes. <br />KERN: Yes, okay. <br />13 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
