Some people say weÓre looking for, only for the profit. We do a lot of donations; I get at least five to ten donation papers on my desk every single day. Whenever there is a parade, who is helping the parade? Our hotel. There is anything happening, people come and say, you know, ÐCan you do this?Ñ We do. But I always remember I want to take care of my people first, which is our employees. IÓm a salaried person. I come and go. I donÓt stay here. I wasnÓt born here, I didnÓt grow up here. This is my career. If I can find another our people, our employees. What I want to do is I want to give the pride back to our employees. I know you guys are requesting the 30 parkings. ItÓs an unreasonable request. The hotel owner is keeping on losing money. WeÓve got a hard time to pay the bill. Now we have to adjust maybe some of our renovations because I lost $6,000,000 in two years. So they have to cover my operation shortfalls. What IÓm asking is this: Please consid this is the hope and pride to our people. Thank you. WATANABE: Thank you. Mr. Lim? LIM: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As you can see, the staff and the employees feel very strongly about the success of the project. And I think that the applicant has gone and taken significant steps towards proving that they have the ability even in these tough times to renovate and reinvigorate the hotel. th Some of these proposed changes that we made in our June 29 letter are intended to both clarify issues and update certain issues. And IÓll kind of go through those real quickly. The Planning Director, for No. 4, has said that the addition of the last red sentence, ÐAccess to the Heiau area will continue to comply with the agreement recorded January 10, 1991 between the hotel operator and the Board of Land and Natural Resources,Ñ does intend to preserve the ability to run the commercial heiau which was negotiated Î excuse me Î the commÒau that was negotiated significantly a long time ago in the early 1990Ós. The property owner at that time was required to file a restrictive covenant, and thatÓs what this agreement is being referred to as. So weÓd ask for your support on No. 4. No. 5, weÓll leave to last, which is the parking. No. 6 is the clarification that we wanted to make that we will b Environmental Management. At this present time weÓve done some our engineers and plumbers, and we are not able to tell for sure whatÓs happening down there; so we believe it is reasonable to include the condition, and that we will replace and/or rehabilitate any deficiencies to existing sewer lines. I think we recently got the clarification from the Department of Environmental Management that said that they didnÓt intend to require us to replace all of the existing sewer lines. And so we are in agreement with No. 6, as well as the Planning Director is. The last condition is No. 8, the Solid Waste Management Plan. Our amendment would clarify that the Solid Waste Management Plan was for the demolition waste, as the hotel is already in operation and has a management plan. We also took that lead from Page No. 7 in the Planning DepartmentÓs recommendations, which say that the Solid Waste Man EXHIBIT C 16
