SILVA: I’m Hank Silva. I’m a retired police major from the Hawaii County Police Department. And just to cover the previous testimony that was heard today -. WATANABE: Mr. Silva, could you state your address, please. SILVA: Seven-three-seven-seven-five-two Kaumalumalu Drive. WATANABE: Thank you. SILVA: And my focus is to tell you that I’ve been in behavior modification for a long time. I still do volunteer work for the Police Department. I work cold-case homicides. And this behavior modification thing, I think, oversees the questions we have such as the intersection and what not; because someday the children that the doctor works with will have to be dealt with another way, which could include other state or county enterprises, and it’s much better to solve the problem or nip the problem in a bud, help these children with their lives, so they can be successful citizens in our community, rather than to them come into the stage that we have to deal with. I think it will save everybody money in a long run. I’ve been to his place. It’s beautiful. And I’ve seen some of the work he does as exemplary. And I urge you to pass this. WATANABE: Thank you. Do we have any questions for Mr. Silva? Thank you. Ms. Humphreys. HUMPHREYS: Hi, my name is Pio Humphreys. I live at 73-4310 Huehue Street, next door to Dr. Lelah. And I’m here representing my neighbors who -, we’ve all been in Kaloko for over 25 years. And I’d like to explain the memorandum of understanding, which we signed with Dr. Lelah. We made this memorandum of agreement with him for the sole purpose of restricting the ever-expanding construction and building that was going on on his land, which encroached on our property boundaries or close to our viewpoint. This memorandum, which we agreed, we nowhere in there said that we are in favor of this; we only agreed not to oppose it. We would really prefer to have it quiet country, and we really cannot say that we are in favor of his proposal. WATANABE: Thank you. Do we have any questions for Ms. Humphreys? Thank you. Then you all may be seated, so I can call up the next four individuals. I have Margie Abinosa, Tyler McClellan, Deb – I believe it’s – Sipiala, Christian McClellan. So would those four come up, please. Okay, may I swear you all in. Would you raise your right hand, so I can swear you all in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS: I do. WATANABE: Thank you. Okay, for each of you, would you state your name and address prior to your testimony. And maybe we can begin with you, Ms. Abinosa. ABINOSA: Margie Abinosa, I’m at 73-4515 Mamalahoa Highway.
