there. So our little block is still residential; and as I said its very quiet. And wed like to keep our section residential. Many of the children have grown up, their parents are dying because theyre all in their eighties and nineties. Many of them have left the area because theyve had to be put intocare homes. And the properties might be for sale but there are many that are still in trusts and overgrown with grass and weeds and trees. Id like to see those purchased by people who would like to build homes because it was a very, the whole houselots area used to be a very nice residential area. But now because of the businesses on the Kekuanaoa to Piilani Street blocks coming in, it has been changing. We have had extra heavy traffic, especially going through the subdivision going to the industrial area. I have to always figure on which way Im going to leave my house because I like to make right turns. The left turns take too much time and too much traffic. So I rarely go down to Kekuanaoa, which is just a short distance from my house to make any left turns. There are times when I need to get to Kamehameha Avenue; and thats when I do try to make the turns or go straight across the street as soon as I can. But IalwaystrytomakerightturnsbecauseitstheeasiestwaytogetoutofWaiakea Houselots now. But Im really not against small businesses, but I hope they can find another home somewhere else so that people can move into our area and build homes and live there. Id like to see more children living in that area. It was really nice. Thank you very for your time. GALDONES:Thank you, Ms. Takemura. Commissioners, any questions of Ms. Takemura? Seeing none, thank you. Are there any other members of the public wishing to testify on this subject matter? Seeing none, Mr. Delozier, please come forward. Mr. Delozier, do you have any closing statements before I turn it over to decision-making? DELOZIER:None. GALDONES:Commissioners, any final questions of Mr. Delozier? Seeing none, Commissioners, this comes with a recommendation from the Planning Director that it be favorably sent over to the County Council. Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Yes. I have some questions of the Director regarding the conditions of approval. Looking at Condition G, it refers to RS-10 zoning and impact fees based on RS-10 zoning; and I dont see why that condition is in there when were looking at an application to change it from RS-10 to Neighborhood Commercial-10. Is that a typo? YUEN:No. Although this project is stated as a commercial use if this change of zone is granted you can also do residential uses, including multi-family residential. If multi-family residential were developed it will be the policy of the County to charge a fair share assessment to that. We would exempt the one unit that is possible under current zoning. So, for example, if in years to come somebody wanted to put a 14- unit apartment building here, which would be possible with the change of zone, the CN 28EXHIBIT A
