MAYHEW: My personal opinion, we need more schools, we need tutoring centers, we <br />need these things. If I were a neighbor I might have an issue but I live 12 blocks away or so. <br />You know, I’m really on a fence. I have a seven year old. I drive her all the way down into Hilo <br />to go to school every day because the situation is what it is. So on a personal level, not speaking <br />for the Board, I’d like to see more schools around. But I’m here today to represent the Board so <br />I, you know -. <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Domingo. <br />DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Ms. Mayhew, as you represent the Board my <br />question is is there a disparity between the Hawaiian Paradise Park Master Plan in comparison <br />with the Community Development Plan that has been considered by the Council at this time? <br />MAYHEW: It’s very similar. There are some differences. In fact the Tavares case <br />that was earlier today was one of those. But as far as these 20-acre parcels for schools and parks, <br />that is in our Master Plan and it is in the Community Development Plan, the ones that were on <br />the map. <br />DOMINGO: So this specific property is included within the parcels, within -? <br />MAYHEW: No, the original developer as well as our Master Plan, as well as the <br />Community Development Plan, designated these 20-acre parcels. They were two side by sides <br />on the map that they, as school sites or park sites. So Marta’s tutoring center is actually down <br />the street from the parcel. <br />DOMINGO: How far is it? <br />MAYHEW: A little over 2000 feet maybe. <br />DOMINGO: Okay, thank you. <br />MAYHEW: You’re welcome. <br />WOODWARD: All right, Director Yuen. <br />YUEN: Yeah, I have a few questions about the Master Plan, and really they center <br />at what level of detail the Master Plan was trying to plan everything within Paradise Park, you <br />know, because I certainly looked through the Master Plan. Besides the fact that there are 20-acre <br />sites set aside for schools, is there something else in the Master Plan that this application would <br />contradict? <br />MAYHEW: Wow, I wish I’d done my homework. You know, I really don’t think so. I <br />think basically this isn’t a school but it’s as close to one, it’s closer than a shopping center or <br />whatever else. So I think the only way I could bring it into the Master Plan is on that concept. <br />It’s education space and we have those set side. So -. <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />6 <br /> <br />
