WATANABE: No? Okay. Well, I guess you may be seated then. Thank you. Well, we <br />have before us recommendation to provide a favorable recommendation to the County Council. <br />Oh, excuse me, I’m getting ahead of myself here. I do have three members from the public that <br />signed up to testify, so maybe I can call those three up: William Dunhour, Symon Metson and <br />Richard Prohoroff. Right hand, please. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the <br />Planning Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: Yes, I do. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. William Dunhour is? Okay, would you state your name and <br />address, and you may begin your testimony. <br />DUNHOUR: Good morning. My name is Willy Dunhour. I live at 5 Waihona Place, <br />just mauka of this project. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. You may begin your testimony. <br />DUNHOUR: What’s that? <br />WATANABE: You may begin. You wanted to testify, yeah? <br />DUNHOUR: Okay, thank you. I’m a retired fire captain from Honolulu. I moved over <br />here 15 years ago, and I bought three acres of land up in Kohala Estates where I built my home. <br />This project is fronting my lot and I have no problem with this project. In fact, I embrace this <br />project mainly because it will give families an opportunity to buy their land and build a dream <br />home just like I did in my lot. So as far as I’m concerned, I’m right next to them, and I approve, <br />I have no regrets for having this project.In fact, I think it’s a good idea. Thank you. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Fellow Commissioners, do we have any questions for Mr. <br />Dunhour? Yes, Mr. Woodward. <br />WOODWARD: I don’t really have a question, but I would just like to thank you for taking <br />this time to come and give testimony today because it does make a big difference. And we do <br />like to hear what the neighbors have to say. So thank you very much. <br />DUNHOUR: You’re welcome. <br />WATANABE: Yes, Mr. Domingo. <br />DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chair. You mentioned that it’ll provide opportunities for <br />people to buy the lots. I’ve been familiar with this development from the very beginning. What <br />are the costs of the lots right now, 3-acre lots? <br />DUNHOUR: I’m not sure what the costs of the lots are right now. I’m happy that I got <br />my lot and I’m not worried about anything else. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />5 <br /> <br />
