DARROW:If we could add in the -. WATANABE:Oh, excuse me, yeah, it would be inclusive, I did mean inclusive of theD and E conditions which stipulate no direct access to Kamanu Street and a 10-foot wide road widening setback. SIRACUSA:And Ill second those as well. ALAMEDA:And so noted. DARROW:For clarification -. ALAMEDA:Sure. DARROW:Isthere,theminimum69parkingstalls,wouldthatbeadded,ora new condition, or added to an existing condition? ALAMEDA:Mr. Director? YUEN:Im just, I dont understand why that condition is in there. Theres a Zoning Code which states how many parking spaces youre supposed to have, and weve discussed -. You know, I can see the Commissioners concern if we were rezoning a project that has a, you know, a building under construction, no way they have parking spaces, and there was no way to have enough parking spaces with the rezoning. I would say, you know, I think weve gone through that. I think thats certainly a question that comes up from the letter that we had from the architect. Now, but I think we have gone through that; and we see that there is a way to have enough parking spaces. And this is a zoning ordinance that if this building is destroyed in a hurricane and they want to rebuild it, they have, you have the same zoning ordinance. Now, under the Zoning Code as its written out, you could rebuild, they could decide, well, were going to build warehouses in Kona and they decided to put the whole thing in a warehouse, then they dont need 69 parking spaces anymore cause the whole thing is a warehouse. But the Zoning Ordinance is going to say you have to have a minimum of 69 parking spaces. So, but the Planning Commission will do the conditions on the zoning ordinance. I also dont see the function, so I dont see the function of having a condition that says you have to have a minimum of 69 spaces. As far as this discrepancy between a map that you see as a figure attached to this and a Plan Approval that says there are 69 spaces, I cant explain that discrepancy. But I have to trust that, I have a guy whos the head of the Kona office who looked at the plan that came in for Plan Approval, he counted the spaces, according to the contractor, they spent several hours considering this issue, and he put down that theres 69 spaces in there. If they had an earlier plan or different plan with 72 spaces, so much the better. But as we discussed, you know, he went through this, says I got a signed Plan Approval that says you got 69 spaces, you need 69 spaces, you got 69 spaces as this building is being built. 17EXHIBIT A
