block is roughly Manono Street makai to Laukapu Street, if Im recalling correctly, and <br />coming over from either Kawili Street or Lanikaula Street and to the left, going to the left <br />on the map. Theres a, I cant rememberthe exact boundaries of the area that was <br />changed. So that when, there was testimony that there were rezonings on the fringes of <br />Waiakea Houselots. There were places that were, well, you know, at one time virtually <br />the entire grid there was residential and there were areas thatwere in the General Plan <br />and rezoned in sections, not in this central part, not more toward the central part of the <br />Houselots. So youve seen businesses come in like where Mrs. Hirayamas business is, <br />which is on the Kalanikoa Street, kind of on theleft corner of that grid that you see there. <br />And there are businesses that you saw come in for rezonings along Kawili Street; and you <br />see those werent in our time. But youseethat ‚Lƒ shaped area along the Kawili Street- <br />Manono Street frontage, that was rezoned, Idont know, in the eighties some time. So, <br />but all these were consistent with the General Plan Maps. <br />GALDONES:Okay.Anyfurtherquestions,Commissioners?Seeingnone, <br />Ms. Cole. <br />COLE:Thank you. Hi! My name is Christie Cole; and I actually live at <br />1046 Manono; and I also work for Amera as an underwriter and funder. I actually have <br />gone around to a couple of the neighbors as well, on the sides of me and behind me; and a <br />lot of people are not actually really, had the real information of how a mortgage company <br />operates or how big it is. Theyve been informed that it is like a bank. Were not a bank. <br />We dont have people coming in and out all day long. Theres just a few of us that come <br />in and out. We do a lot of the stuff over the internet and through phone and by fax to <br />where we dont have a lot of people that do come in. We have been having problems <br />with the parking due to the fact that the construction loans that we have going right now <br />are all being done and theyre all going to permanent loans. So we do have some traffic <br />coming in due to that of everybody getting everything taken care of and finalizing the <br />construction. <br />The traffic on Manono isnt that bad. I mean its a lot, but I can get in and out of my <br />driveway. The Rhoades do live right across the street from me. Ive seen them coming <br />in and out and taking left-turns on their driveway as well. I usually take a right onto <br />Manono and go around the block as its easier. But sometimes I do take the left onto <br />Manono going down towards Kekuanaoa as my children go to Kapiolani. So I go that <br />way and make it easier. The buses stop in front of our houses. I do, there is traffic that <br />does stop that let us in and out of our driveways. I dont have a problem getting in and <br />out at all. <br />So, and yes, we do need to move soon. The parking that we have we share with three <br />other businesses; and it is hard. We are right next to Tykes Laundromat and it makes it <br />real hard to get in and out or even find a parking spot. Half of the time I leave my car at <br />home and walk three blocks up to get to work so there isnt a parking problem for me at <br />the moment. I did live in Puna and moved into town to make it easier for me to get to <br />work and not have to deal with the traffic from way out there coming in. So I think that <br />21EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
