UMPHREY:I do. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you, sir. Canyou please state your name and address for the <br />record. <br />UMPHREY:Jack Umphrey, 2895 Kalakaua Avenue, Honolulu. <br />ALAMEDA:Sorry,Mr. Umphrey, we just got finished with all of the amendments and <br />wedidn€t have, it didn€t feel like there were applicants today so I totally forgot. I know you got <br />the Background Report by the Departmentand all the revised conditions. <br />UMPHREY:I have. <br />ALAMEDA:Do you have anything to add, or any comments, or feedback regarding <br />thoseconditions? <br />UMPHREY:I€dliketojustmakeastatement. <br />ALAMEDA:Sure. <br />UMPHREY:Wefullyunderstandthatthisissuewasallaboutthetraffic;andasowners <br />we also understand that any adverse impact on ingress and egress is going to have the <br />corresponding negative impact on the investment of the location. Now this is a small property; <br />and for this principle reason it has been our plan to limit the investment to several modest-sized <br />buildings that might serve as offices, particularly for the medical profession because it€s close to <br />the hospital. If the property remains Residential, one additional dwelling might be added; <br />however, it would sit within about 40 feet of Mamalahoa Highway; and that€s a questionable <br />option. With the office concept a parking area would be located close to the Highway. We <br />apologize that this application has been on your agenda for too long; and I would ask for any <br />questions. But I would like to clarify one point, that there is no intention for a development of a <br />convenience store at this location. It just wouldn€t work. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay, any questions for our applicant? Seeing none, you may be seated. <br />UMPHRY:Thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Once again, there€s no testimony regarding this particular application. So <br />now we€re back right on track where we left off. We don€t need to revisit, remake the motion, <br />do we? <br />TORIGOE:No -. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay, so we€re at discussion again. Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:Thinking of the comments of Commissioner Iwashita a short while ago, <br />and trying to be a little more concrete as to why that€s a problem, I had the same feeling he does <br />about doing, well, highly contingent rezonings. We look at the situation we have now and then <br />we say if in the future this other highway gets built or if certain work gets done on a highway out <br />4EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
