developers have to be part of the community and come through. So when we say itÓs a deferral, that the deferral should not be indefinite. So they should come through and set a good example in the community that says developers are good guys, too. So in that way I support some of the earlier comments about the connector road up to 190, that it sho done in a reasonable time. We are not subject to no access to this place because we do have KaÒiminani and the roadway that comes down to Costco. And in terms of clarification -. Well, IÓll make a comment first. My understanding is that the commitment by Palamanui is that they will provide the infrastructure that goes across from the University Avenue out to KaÒiminani and I think itÓs in orange right now, not the mid-level road but the one below that Î that part of the commitment to this development is that they will provide all the infrastructure includes the roadway, the sewer, the water, that goes clearly, clear across to KaÒiminani, which means that we have access to this area from KaÒiminani Î itÓs really above the letter ÐBÑ, capital ÐBÑ, that orange one that goes across Î and also from Queen KaÒahumanu. So in that regard, we do have connector roads that will access this place from two sides. And as far as I understand the application, that it does not change any of the earlier commitments on that infrastructure development coming from Queen K and KaÒiminani. So as Bo had indicated earlier, that we are trying very hard to get the community college to get going. And we understand the realities of hard economies. So I think itÓs a reasonable request to adjust a little here and not to basically adjust in a way that they are reneging on the original contract. One further comment, and this is really kind of off the agenda, the community as a whole worked very, very hard to get the 500 acres. And we know we are talking about 70-plus acres here for the university. But whoever is in the room including the Planning Commission here, please donÓt lose sight of the 500 acres because I think we are looking for the long haul here. So whoever has the powers to retain this 500 acres and not lose the 500 acres, we are moving on with this 70-plus acres, but please do not forget the 100 acres (sic) because it was a long battle to get this 500 acres and it was a rare opportunity. We got it, please keep it. Thank you very much. WATANABE: Thank you, Mr. Kunitake. Do we have any questions for Mr. Kunitake? Does not look like it. Thank you for your testimony. You may be seated. Let me call on the next four. This would be Jim Lally, Mark Van Pernis, Carl Carlson and Bucky Leslie. GIFFIN: Mr. Chairman? WATANABE: Yes. GIFFIN: While you are seating the next four testifiers, could I ask what our schedule is, like, are we going to have a recess soon? WATANABE: Can we -? GIFFIN: I can wait for these four, but I do want to know -. WATANABE: Okay, why donÓt we, okay, good. Why donÓt we take a recess after these four testifiers? GIFFIN: Fine. EXHIBIT B 18
