for the thru traffic on Alii Drive because they don’t stop on an unsignalized intersection. We add an unsignalized intersection. If the intersection were signalized, then we’ll be counting the level of service on the main street. Okay. RHO:Okay. Thank you. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Mr. Rho. Well, we have more Commissioners which means we have more questions which means we have, you know -. So I just want to acknowledge the very patient public, you guys are good behaving, good boys and girls. I wanted to take a 5-minute recess and we’ll come back and maybe ask more specific questions and then move quickly to testimony. Okay, so let’s take five. RECESSEDThe Chair called a short recess at 10:55 a.m. RECONVENEDThe meeting reconvened at 11:01 a.m. ALAMEDA:Will the Planning Commission come back to in order. Thank you. All right. Just for the rest of you who are waiting, you know, the agenda has already been pushed back, so we will probably take lunch after this. Okay? So it’s just for the rest of the potential testifiers and applicants to know. But picking up where we left off, I wanted to turn to Commissioner Iwashita or any other questions before we do have two testifiers today. NOMURA:Three. ALAMEDA:Oh, three testifiers, okay. So we do want to get back on track. Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA:Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Yamamoto, the last area of question I have relates to our requirements in considering SMA applications to include adverse effects from potential cumulative impact of individual developments, not just this development but other potential developments and, you know, any adverse impact that it might have, those cumulative developments would have on, you know, both public access and the ability to evacuate this area. So I’d just like to know if your study addresses the impacts of this project together with other potential developments along Alii Drive of the undeveloped, currently undeveloped areas. YAMAMOTO:Yes, we did. Under the ambient traffic forecast, we increased the traffic by 68 percent, a very large percent which probably will not occur, but that was to take into account for the various growth in the area. IWASHITA:And in doing so, did your, does your study address the effect of that growth on the ability to evacuate the area? YAMAMOTO:Yes. Specifically about evacuation of the area? IWASHITA:Yes. YAMAMOTO:When we began the study, we talked to the State and County officials and none of them brought up about the impact of evacuation. Okay, that’s a very specific topic. EXHIBIT B 19
