appreciate the low-key nature of it. We€re artists and moved away from Honolulu to get <br />away from this, the crazy over-development there. So we really are sensitive to that. <br />But, at the same time, I just recognize that the highway is the artery that brings the people <br />to us, you know, and it€s going to be the thing that€s going to be able to sustain our <br />business. So we€re really trying to find some kind of middle ground between <br />development and, you know, existence here. <br />GALDONES:Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL:Yeah, just a quick question. I€m somewhat confused. Has the <br />Department of Transportation made a decision and allowed ingress only? Is there <br />anything written from them, or is it still somewhat up for debate? Cause I€m sort of <br />seeing information in both directions. I don€t know who -. <br />GALDONES:Mr.Yuen? <br />YUEN:IthinkthecommentfromtheDepartmentofTransportationwas <br />that they would not object to the establishment of the art studio if access was limited to <br />ingress only. If they were to build a house here, they have a legally-permitted access to <br />come in and out on the Volcano Highway. Right, am I right with that? <br />nd <br />DARROW:We have a memo dated March 22 <br /> and I think they were <br />reviewing it. Did you happen to receive an additional memo from the Department of <br />Transportation? At that time, they were reviewing the request for an additional access, <br />but it appeared that they had granted the ingress. <br />MCCALL:They approved the ingress only. <br />DARROW:Yeah. <br />MCCALL:Okay, okay. <br />GALDONES:Commissioner Springer? <br />SPRINGER:In this regard, I€m looking at Section3,on page 20, of the <br />Hearings Officer€s report to us. And under 3-4, it reads, Access from Hawaii Belt Road <br />(State Highway 11) will be permitted only upon approval from the Department of <br />Transportation, provided that only ingress would be allowed from the State Highway <br />should the Department of Transportation not permit ingress,‚ and then it goes on with the <br />rest of the condition. So, perhaps, that€s the reason for Commissioner McCall€s question. <br />GALDONES:Any response from that, Director? <br />SPRINGER:It looks as though the Director is re-reading that section. <br />9 <br /> <br />
