GRAHAM: Go ahead. Would you like to make any presentation or discussion to the <br />Commissioners here today? <br />HERBERT: No. I think the paperwork is fairly extensive and clear, so I’d rather <br />respond to questions if there are any. <br />GRAHAM: Okay. Commissioner Alameda? <br />ALAMEDA: Thank you. I didn’t see any letters of opposition. Were there any, it <br />doesn’t seem like there’s any surrounding neighbors and all but were there any opposition prior <br />to you trying to get this permit? <br />HERBERT: Correspondence was sent to four adjacent property owners twice. One <br />initially and one in preparation for the hearing, and we’ve received no comments from anyone. <br />GRAHAM: Any other questions from Commissioners? All right, thank you. Yes, <br />Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA: Just as a matter of form and to get it on the record, when I was reading <br />everything I kept wondering how come I don’t see any letters in favor from Ian Birnie the <br />Harbor Master. And so I would just like to ask Mr. Birnie if he would tell us that he approves of <br />this project as a Harbor Master, speaking as a Harbor Master. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you, Commissioner Siracusa. Mr. Birnie, go ahead. <br />BIRNIE: Yes, we do approve. This is part of our master plan. We’re trying to <br />achieve a safe separation of cargo and passenger traffic, and this is the second step. Opening this <br />road will have all of Matson’s cargo going in and out of that road so that that will alleviate some <br />of the traffic that goes in the main gate now associated with passengers. And the next step after <br />that is to expand down towards Kumau Street next to Gaspro, and eventually we’ll have all of <br />Young Brothers traffic going in and out of Kumau Street onto Kalanianaole. We’re not adding <br />any traffic. We’re just separating it better. <br />And the issue with the water, if I may comment on that, is that we’re not adding any people or <br />any facilities. We’re going to add a restroom. But the people who are going to be occupying <br />this office are already in the Harbor in another office. So I can’t see that they would be adding <br />any more water usage. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you, Mr. Birnie. Any further questions from Commissioners? All <br />right, I think you all can go back and be seated again. We do have one public testifier. And if <br />there’s anyone else here from the public who would like to testify on this matter today, please <br />sign up with Sharon at the end table, and we can still take your testimony. The testifier we have <br />is Patrick Kahawaiola‘a. Sir, would you come forward. Thank you. If you’d please raise your <br />right hand so I can swear you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter here <br />today? <br /> EXHIBIT B 5 <br /> <br /> <br />
