ATTA: Well, it’s mainly just a small open space, a place where you can have a safe place enclosed where kids could play and then also maybe you could have a picnic or two for that community. BOWMAN: Okay, thank you. WATANABE: I have a follow-up to that. But you’re not proposing to eliminate any of the buffer area above this? ATTA: No. Yeah, this is in addition. WATANABE: Yeah, that would front the proposed Parkway? ATTA: Right. WATANABE: Thank you. ATTA: Yeah, this is in addition to park dedication requirements which we will still meet. So this does not take away anything from any of the earlier commitments we’ve made or any of the requirements for park decision. BOWMAN: So this would be in addition? ATTA: This would be in addition. BOWMAN: Okay, thank you for that clarification. WATANABE: Yes, Ms. Siracusa? SIRACUSA: Yes. Mr. Atta, a little earlier you mentioned that your plan was consistent with the Kona Community Development Plan. ATTA: We think so. We’ve been trying to make it so. SIRACUSA: Yeah, I have, I would like to inform you that besides receiving all of this this morning to digest in 20 minutes, thank you, we also received the Kona Community Development Plan; and we have not, of course, had an opportunity to review that because that’s on the CD. So, therefore, we cannot judge whether we would agree with your take on it that the two documents are consistent with each other. I for one prefer to make my own decisions on those sorts of things. And so I would come to the question I asked before of Mr. Darrow. And that is that considering that we’re moving within only about, you know, a little more than six months to the deadline for the Kona Community Development Plan, why you chose to jump the gun and present this to us now rather than waiting until the Community Development Plan had been approved by ordinance; and then we could all, we would have seen whatever it is and be able to base our decisions on that? Why, you know, why now? EXHIBIT B 10
