IWASHITA:Yeah, staff, if you can. I know the Director is not here but -. <br />DARROW:Unfortunately, the comment that we received from the Department <br />of Transportation was very minimal. Usually they come back with pretty heavy hitting <br />comments. Just to bring your attention back to the Onoloa application that was up in <br />Mountain View for the similar type use, they had requested left-turn lanes, acceleration <br />lanes, deceleration lanes; and then later they were able to, after discussion they were able <br />to minimize their application. But we depend on those comments. At this point, they’re <br />just saying that at the time of construction drawings they’ll review what needs to be done. <br />So we basically have to look at it from what information we have, considering the worst <br />case scenario, unfortunately, <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. Any questions for staff before I call up the Applicant, <br />or his representative? Seeing none, thank you, Mr. Darrow. Will the Applicant or his <br />representative, please come forward. Hello, ma’am. Will you please raise your right <br />hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawai`i County Planning <br />Commission? <br />MORRISON:I do. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. I’m going to ask you to speak into the mike for our <br />minutes purposes. Could you please state your name and address for the record? <br />MORRISON:My name is Stephanie Morrison; and my work address is <br />94 Kamehameha Avenue, Suite 1. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. I’m aware that, I’m sure you got a chance to review <br />the Department’s denial and reasons for it. You have any comments or reactions to that? <br />MORRISON:Obviously, I have several comments. I’ll try to make it brief and <br />then we can go with questions. <br />ALAMEDA:All right. <br />MORRISON:I can understand the Director’s concern about public safety and <br />transportation; and I would just like to refer to the Police Department’s comments and <br />also the Department of Transportation’s. The Department of Transportation was <br />contacted prior to the application being submitted for comments that they may offer, and <br />they would rather hold their comments until they received the application from the <br />Planning Department. At that point, they only made the comments that you see here. <br />This is just a preliminary concept as if anything. The Special Use Permit is the beginning <br />part for permitting an application; and any conditions that might be set forth may change, <br />it may change the driveway location or the proposed floor plan, also. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />4 <br /> <br />
