WOODWARD: Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before <br />Planning Commission? <br />FUKE: I do. <br />WOODWARD: Very good. Name and address, and then you may begin. <br />FUKE: Sure. Good morning, Mr. Chairman. My name is Sidney Fuke <br />planning consultant. My office is 100 Pauahi Street, located ac <br />representing Beth-An and Cary Nishijima on this particular proje <br />congratulations to all of you, and especially to Wally, Mr. Ishibashi, for his recent appointment <br />to the Commission. <br /> <br />Specifically in response to Commissioner IwasakiÓs (sic) questio <br />couple of points. It is correct that there are several ways tha <br />of reminded of two situations. <br /> <br />One, some of the Commissioners may recall that there was a rezon <br />along Ponahawai Street, and there was also this same kind of issue. And what Mr. Nakao had to <br />do was to prove to the Water Department and/or the Fire Departme <br />had sufficient pressure. So he had to contract with a separate independent contractor to do that <br />fire test, do that fire flow test; and in that situation the fire flow pressure test was sufficient. <br /> <br />The other point to make is that even if that fire flow is not sufficient, you know, along <br />KekanoÒa Street, fortunately this property has a waterline also on Laukapu Street. So what <br />happens is that the respective engineer would have to work with <br />Departments to see how you can address the fire flow requirement. You know, you can probably <br />have a loop system, or as like the Fire DepartmentÓs standards c <br />to address that. The Fire Department must sign off on the build <br />course of reviewing the plans for the project if you donÓt have enough fire flow, then it has to be <br />addressed before the Fire Department can sign off on the building permit. So what your staff <br />had kind of pointed out on that particular condition that you ha <br />conditions, thatÓs pretty much like how itÓs covered. So even <br />and the applicant wanted to construct whatever they had to do, t <br />protocol. <br /> <br />The other thing I just kind of wanted to clarify was that, you know, in the staffÓs report it kind of <br />pointed out that the first floor was a restaurant and I think it was storage. Or is it store? <br />Storage? <br /> <br />COTTLE: Storage. <br /> <br />FUKE: Yeah. IÓd like to clarify that the ground level was reall <br />like a restaurant as well as possible sale of some retail activi <br />the storage and the office would be actually on the second floor <br />3 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
