conditions at the time, they weren’t; and we had it deferred. So now it is my responsibility to go forth. And I have since hired Bruce Hansen, he’s well recommended and respected in the community, and I think he could do a very good job. The building that we plan to build on the adjacent property will be of a, you know, to blend into the environment and kind of be like a Pacific Northwest design with Hawaiian fauna. I am also an active real estate agent; and part of becoming one was to understand the process of, you know, everything. So this has something I have been working on since December. And I have gone to and worked with the Planning Department throughout the entire step and I have seen each of the Departments, Water, Sewer, Electrical. And I’ve talked to them about, and got their recommendations. So I’ve tried my best to follow their recommendations. And I just wanted to say that, you know, in the discovery of doing this report, the rezoning is part of, in the General Plan, you would find in section 14.3.5.2.2 which says, Hawaii County General Plan, Courses of Actions, Section (f), “Within the Waiakea Houselots ‘medium density’ area, commercial development shall be focused on major streets--Kekuanaoa, Piilani, Manono, and Lanikaula, while the interior blocks should be zoned primarily for single- and multi-family residential use.” And then I made a Figure F, actually Figure 3. In the report that I made it shows what is already zoned CN-20. Directly across our proposed site, the Hirayama Brothers also have a CN-20 which was converted in April of 2007. Next to that, Kathy Tripp also has got a favorable approval and has since opened her shop which is directly across. On the Puna side of our site which we’re proposing, Atebara Potato Chip Factory has their manufacturing plant and their retail store. And then the other three parties is, you know, owned by my family. And then directly behind would be Big Island Candies; and they have also recently expanded their area and have gotten a High Density designation with CG-20, and that encompasses, you know, a much bigger lot. And I did talk to the utilities. So I did go and see the Sewer and I asked him if we had a large enough lateral. And there’s a 36-inch sewer lateral fronting the property on the Manono side, an 8-inch sewer lateral on the Hinano side; and they said that they do not foresee any problems. In fact, there was more than enough. As far as the Water Department, I did talk to them as well; and they said that there’s an 8-inch water lateral on Manono and a 6-inch water lateral on Hinano. The electricity is already there. The property is Flood Zone X and there were no historic things on the property, so that should not be of any consequence. And I just wanted to say, you know, it is my intention to complete my parent’s vision. And, you know, I don’t want to sell the property, I want to develop it and improve the overall neighborhood. ALAMEDA: Thank you. You did a lot of homework on that one. CHUN: Yeah. ALAMEDA: Thank you so very much. I appreciate your comments there. Mr. Hansen, you have anything to add, especially around the recommendations made by the Department or even the conditions? Are you okay with the conditions as a consultant? EXHIBIT B 4
