The whole idea of coming in here as a rezone, we’re all long-term Kona residents. I’ve <br />been here 30 years; and rezoning is really the way to deal with this kind of stuff, I <br />believe. The mishmash that you get with all the special permits and everything is, it’s not <br />a simpler time today. It’s a much more complex time and I’m preaching at the choir with <br />you guys. So, yeah, we decided to just come in straight ahead and do a rezone. They <br />need a new commercial center there; and I believe it will help the traffic on that side of <br />the island by locating a commercial center there. We all subscribe to the idea that traffic <br />can be resolved with zoning better than roads; and this is the first step in that direction, <br />for Ocean View anyway. So, yeah, I think it’s a good project. <br />There’s going to be a waterline go down Lehua Lane at some point in the future right in <br />front of this parcel. That’s what made it attractive in the first place to explore as the first <br />rezone down in that area. Even though the timefame for that waterline has been pushed <br />back significantly, we’ve addressed the water issues and stuff, I think, well, enough with <br />the design. <br />So, yes, if we could get a continuance to clean up the traffic analysis stuff and work with <br />DOT, then we’d like to come back in here and see what you guys think of it. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you, Mr. Foulk. Any questions from Commissioners? All <br />right. <br />SIRACUSA: Well, I have some but I can wait till we come back again. <br />GRAHAM: All right. Sharon, I don’t see any public testifiers. We have none? <br />NOMURA: None. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you. Mr. Torigoe, would it be appropriate for us right now <br />to go ahead for a motion on continuance? <br />TORIGOE: Yes. <br />GRAHAM: Okay. Commissioner, Iwashita, did you have something different <br />or -? <br />IWASHITA: No. <br />GRAHAM: Would you have a motion? <br />IWASHITA: I move that Items 3 and 4, SLU 07-000016, REZ 07-000069, and <br />SLU 07-000017, and REZ 07-000070 be continued until the completion of the TIAR and <br />until further reagendized by the Department. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you. Do we have a second? <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />8 <br /> <br />
