and lifestyle, and I think that this commercial development needs to be rethought. <br />When Dr. Rosendahl, Mr. Rosendahl suggested this in 1989, it was a different situation. We <br />didn't have that Tyke's Laundry, BISAC thing across the street. All those big buildings weren't <br />there. We didn't have the traffic issues that we have. It's a different ballgame. <br />Now my sister and her boys were here earlier, and they were prepared to give testimony, but my <br />two-year old nephew wanted to practice his outside voice, so I made them leave. But the reality <br />is we have a lot of -, the few that signed this letter are indicative of the many in our <br />neighborhood. And I really thank you for this opportunity to express our concerns. Thank you. <br />FUJIKAWA:You may proceed. Your name was -. <br />HANSEN:Bruce Hansen. <br />FUJIKAWA:You're Bruce? <br />HANSEN:Bruce. <br />FUJIKAWA:Go ahead. <br />HANSEN:I own the property on the corner of Lanikaula and Kilauea. We're doing <br />the development of the food court. I'm also the general contractor with Dr. Takase for this <br />development. <br />I recommend, I strongly that you approve the change. That whole area is commercial. It's a <br />(indiscernible) along Kilauea. And I think it's already, it is -, I bought that property and did my <br />development with the understanding that that was going to be commercial along there. What the <br />development is on Kilauea Avenue, it's not back in the residential area. <br />The concerns with the water, the water from Kilauea Avenue is going to go under a couple <br />culverts. It's going to stay in the same channel that it is now. There's a channel that cuts through <br />the property, and we're going to keep that water in that same channel. We're not going to change <br />that water flow. Water generated off the property will get either absorbed (indiscernible) and <br />will be captured with drywells and kept on the property. <br />My development on the corner will take some of the water that's cutting across the Kilauea <br />corner and direct it on down, and it won't be cutting across and going down toward the property <br />we're talking about, the Takase property. <br />BLACK:The water from -. <br />HANSEN:If there are any questions you have about that, I'd be happy to answer that. <br />I still feel it's commercial, it was commercial, and it is commercial, and it should be allowed to <br />be commercial. <br />15 <br /> <br />
