everything up Kilauea Avenue is all Commercial. And I think we either approve it, you know, as it is, or -. I just can’t see micromanaging this thing. WATANABE: Thank you. Yes, Ms. Siracusa. SIRACUSA: Yeah. I don’t see this as micromanaging. The fact is that the dark green parcel across the street is DLNR, that’s the arboretum and the offices of Forestry and Wild Life; and it is beautiful and park-like. The block on which the subject property is located is all Single Family Residential with that one exception that’s multi-Family Residential. So still that block is still Residential. And we are setting a precedent if we allow Commercial on that parcel. Because it’s the sort of thing that I don’t want to keep her from having her, you know, from being able to use that property Commercially. But I would not like to see it change the quality of the neighborhood; and it would definitely do that, especially a location right on the corner, you know, is very visually prominent. And it’s not that we haven’t done this before, asked that future development on, you know, make it contingent that future development not be, that there not be an architectural disconnect, basically is what I’m saying. WATANABE: Okay. We’ll, we’ve heard three Commissioners’ opinions on this. Is there anyone else that would care to expound? Do we have any further questions of the applicant? Cause then we can move into the deliberations if -. Mr. Rho? RHO: I’m not sure that I have a question of the applicant. But Condition G talks about installing street lights.And I wondered whether or not there was a street light already at that intersection, and where this street light might be located if that’s a requirement of the applicant. WATANABE: Mr. Darrow? DARROW: A street light in the sense of just, not a signal light, a street light. WATANABE: Oh, to illuminate the area. RHO: But, and it says install street lights and traffic controls. That traffic control meaning the left turn or no left turn? HAYASHI: Yeah, this was a recommendation from the Department of Public Works. There already is signalization at that intersection. There’s also street lights. Perhaps it’s not necessary to include this particular condition since the devices are already in place. RHO: But there are no street lights? WATANABE: He said there are street lights. RHO: There are street lights? HAYASHI: I take that back. As far as the street light itself, I’m not too sure. But there are traffic signals at that intersection. EXHIBIT A 8
