YEH: IÓm not sure about that assumption. Because even on the plan approval which had an expressed condition that tied that plan approval to compliance with this Ordinance 03-111, that time condition expired there. The time conditions that apply to the construction of the roadway improvements on Kahakai expired a year ago. Not until the Metcalf family said, hey, wait a minute you guys gotta take another fresh look at this thing. We would have a big mess if we werenÓt here, sitting here today and looking at these issues. I guess thatÓs my point. And then the question is should the County and the State have been saddled with those kinds of costs that are triggered as a result of this particular application? WOODWARD: Okay, thank you. Mr. Weatherford, your turn. th WEATHERFORD: Thank you. My name is James Weatherford. I reside at 15-1886 6 Avenue in Hawaiian Paradise Park, KeaÒau. And I have a farm in Phoa, also, and travel through this area at least once a day. As a member of the community, the first question I have to ask Î have the previous conditions been adhered to? And, of course, as itÓs clear they have not, I have to ask why? And it brings to my mind a question as to whether the project has been conducted in good faith with the laws and regulations that our community depends on. This extension request has come late, it has come very late. And, again, itÓs an issue of credibility. And I take issue with the comment by the attorney earlier that this development -- although I donÓt oppose development per se but just another question of credibility -- it was said that residents will have to drive, would have to drive beyond Phoa to get the services provided there. ThatÓs not true. ThereÓs a pharmacy in Phoa, and there are food service establishments in Phoa. So, again, I have to wonder about acting in good faith. The result we see now is there is a real impending calamity of traffic snarl there. I donÓt know if any of you have ever experienced this, but it is really, really quite shocking. ItÓs an issue of safety. And in my understanding it has already impacted the MetcalfÓs business because when the trucks and the cars were jammed up in the construction area there, their customers simply cannot get to their store. If a customer canÓt get to your store theyÓre not going to buy something. And if they donÓt buy something you wonÓt have a store pretty soon. IÓm asking as a member of this community that the Planning Commission do the right thing. You have an opportunity to partially redress the problem. We need conditions here, and at the expense of the developer by the way, for taking care of the traffic problem that will occur. And this needs to be done, of course, prior to the certificate of occupancy, prior to the opening of the commercial development. I look forward to patronizing LongÓs Drugs myself if I need to, and that is not the issue. The issue is that this has not been done right. You have a chance now to redress at least some of it. Please do that. Thank you. WOODWARD: Thank you. Any questions for Mr. Weatherford? Commissioner Domingo. DOMINGO: Mr. Chairman, just for information, the Police Department, or what IÓm hearing here now is totally different from what the Police Department has said in response to the request. It said, ÐStaff upon reviewing the provided documents associated with the requested 5-year time 8 EXHIBIT A
