WOODWARD:Okay. If you’re happy with it, we’re happy with it. And then the other question I had was this question of police, the police concerns. And I don’t know how you would really go about directing a response to this. But we did have a letter from Mr. Pacheco, Assistant Police Chief, it says essentially, “The proximity and alignment of the project’s proposed access driveway to the Kapiolani Street entrances…of the Public Safety Complex are a major concern. The density of this project (100 units) may result in a significant volume of traffic entering at the project’s Kapiolani Street access driveway. This volume of traffic may conflict with vehicles exiting the public parking area of the Public Safety Complex and potentially impede or hamper the response of emergency vehicles entering onto Kapiolani Street. These conflicted traffic movements could lead to a greater incidence of traffic casualties in the area,” etc., etc. Now I know you’ve done a very extensive TIAR. And I don’t know how you exactly go about addressing these concerns, if they can be addressed. But I’d just be interested in what your input was. LIM:We understood that the concerns were raised because of the, like I say, they’re basically across the street from each other; and that is why the right-in and right-out only was required by the Planning Department. I think that that will address those concerns. WOODWARD:All right. That’s all I had. Any other questions from Commissioners? Okay, Mr. Lim and Ms. Silva you may be seated. And we have two people from the public that are signed up to testify - Richard Paiva or Paeva, and Mike Donahoe. If you could come up and have a seat. All right, gentlemen, if you’ll raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS:I do. WOODWARD:Very good. All right. And if you’ll give us your name and address, and then you may begin your testimony. We’ll start with you. PAIVA:My name is Richard Paiva. NOMURA:Microphone please. WOODWARD:Very good. If you’ll use the microphone, sir. PAIVA:Excuse me? WOODWARD:The microphone. PAIVA:Microphone? WOODWARD:Yes, please. PAIVA:My name is Richard Paiva. I live at 349A Kukuau Street. And if you had a different map up there I could show you exactly where I live. But, anyway, it’s regarding my easement. Right now the project as it’s designed blocks me from my property. I can’t get in or 4 EXHIBIT A
