BOWMAN: I just need clarification on the bungalow rental – and maybe I’m thinking, like, Mauna Lani Bungalows. But you’ll have three- or four-bedroom bungalows with one kitchen; so when you rent them to separate people, who has the kitchen? Or is that -? I just can’t visually see this, sorry. VASQUEZ: It functions like a condominium home for a family with one kitchen. The suites are what’s put back into the keys. They would not have any kitchen; it would be a mini bar at best that basically is in a suite. I don’t know if we submitted the floor plans, but the idea would be – this is a model of the project that we did in Palm Springs – and the idea behind it is the suites would be similar to a room in a hotel that has a mini bar, closet, bathroom and sleeping area; there is no kitchen to that unit, to that key. It only is in the main residence when you rent the entire house. BOWMAN: And the suites have separate entrances? VASQUEZ: Correct. BOWMAN: Okay, I’m sorry if I, I’m a visual person so I couldn’t really see that. VASQUEZ: So am I. I wish I had the floor plans. BOWMAN: Yeah, that would help. But thank you. ALAMEDA: Mr. Chair. WATANABE: Mr. Alameda. ALAMEDA: Thank you. I was just wondering, you know, what is the impetus for the downsizing from the sixth level to the fourth level? LIM: Primarily the height regulations in the Resort-Hotel District are more stringent than they were previously. And so in addition to that, I think that the product type was more conduced to a lower level hotel. This is an unusual hotel project in that it’s farther away from the ocean than most projects that you see. So they had to modify the product type and pricing range. ALAMEDA: It’s a comment, I’ve got to say this. A lot of revisions that you guys did, I mean, talk about collaboration. Good job. WATANABE: Thank you. I don’t think we have any further questions. So Mr. Carr, I believe you are the last presenter? Oh, well, second to the last, yeah? th CARR: Stanford Carr, 1100 Alakea Street, 27 Floor.
