Its, as, youre right, its not a traffic issue in the sense that theres going to be a traffic <br />tie-up if its strictly a safety question. <br />MIRANDA:If I may address -? <br />ALAMEDA:Sure. <br />MIRANDA:Id like to address that in the way that, you know, I know you folks <br />just approved Parker Ranch out by West Hawaii Concrete with a special permit to make <br />that an industrial area where I was previously. And theyre putting in a fuel dock, Aloha <br />Petroleum is, I think, where all the trucks can go in and fill up fuel. West Hawaii has all <br />these cement trucks, and dump trucks, running in and out of there. And now theyve <br />rented out I dont know how many lots. But youve got people going in and out of there. <br />The entrance from West Hawaii to the State Highway is right there on the turn. And I, <br />youknow,tometheyvegotdeeppockets;andIdontseeanaccelerationlaneor <br />deceleration lane coming in there at all. And then I can go down, you know -. The past <br />couple of months Ive been just looking at every intersection where I think theres a <br />problem. And by Lakeland Subdivision, De Luzs quarry on Ahualoa Road, they just got <br />a special permit. I think they just purchased the property from Parker Ranch and they <br />had to get a special permit. And I dont think they ever put in a turning lane or <br />deceleration lane, and theyre just about a mile above me on the old Mamalahoa highway. <br />Its, my property and their property is like all on the same vein, as the whole ridge runs <br />from, I guess, the slopes of Mauna Kea all the way down to Kukuihaele which is, all the <br />hills are all full of gravel. And its the same area. So, to me, its like Im being the target <br />and maybe they want to use me as an example, but thats how I feel. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you, Mr. Miranda. <br />IWASHITA:Mr. Chair? <br />ALAMEDA:Mr. Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA:I just wanted to clarify because I dont know about the Parker <br />Ranch special permit approval. Was that approved without requiring any improvements <br />at the intersection with the State Highway? <br />YUEN:I believe that we did not require anything there and I dont believe <br />we got anything from State Highways asking for those improvements. <br />IWASHITA:Thank you. <br />RODRIGUES:I have a comment if I may, sir. We cannot, I live in that area. I <br />live very close to Miranda Trucking. We cannot ignore the safety problems of that <br />stretch of highway. Thats real. So the question becomes, Commissioner, is what you <br />said, how do we fix it. Me, I and my family have been almost run off that road several <br />20EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
