MOORE:Thank you very much. IÓd like to address a couple of questions. Just for the record, IÓd like to point out that IÓm representing this project. IÓm also one of the part owners of the property. The Managing Partner is Vern Yamanaka, whoÓs here today. So IÓm here in both capacity as part of this but also the representative, just to make it clear for the record. We have reviewed the conditions. Couple of concerns that we have about the existing language, one of which a suggested amendment. And I apologize, touch base on this, is that, clearly, we understand that the signals are needed now. The previous condition had a five-year time limit on development. I think theyÓre intending to move quicker. Their project can absolutely move quicker than the subdivision process can with the construction plans. And as part of some suggested or proposed amendments, IÓd like to offer one which would allow us some flexibility in that and, again, if acceptable. But IÓd like to go through some other conditions if I can first. Again, in general, we really appreciate the staff and then the coordination that has been going on this in moving this through. And we thought it was important that we be on the agenda as the prior action so that the two projects are talking to each other in coordinating on this. We understand the importance of this. The first condition, Condition B, I found out today that there is an existing driveway taking access from the property; and if we have a no-access limitation completely, then that driveway may be restricted. Norman is pointing to that location. So we would like to include an exception for that driveway access. That serves the existing parcel and not the property, so it serves the adjacent house. So itÓs just making sure that weÓre not hurting somebody else as an adjacent property. YUEN:Is that part of your rezoning, though? MOORE:No, it is not part of the rezoning. I mean, itÓs part of our rezoned area that theyÓre getting access over; and, again, we have no objections to that. But under the current conditions, they could not use that portion of the property. YUEN:I donÓt understand because if itÓs not part of this rezoning, then the condition doesnÓt affect it. MOORE:No, their access is over a part of this property, the driveway access. YUEN:Oh, I see. MOORE:So theyÓre actually, theyÓre accessing their driveway through this property. So we would like to add an exception for that driveway access to the no-access planting screen along Hawaii Belt Road frontage, except for that existing driveway access. FUJIKAWA:Okay. Just an add-on? 5
