IWASHITA: Thank you. <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Domingo. <br />DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Lim, that improvement to which you refer <br />to, is that which the County is planning to make, and regardless of this project they will still <br />continue to make that, do that improvement? <br />LIM: That’s correct. We’ve already conveyed the parcel that we own and we’ve <br />given the grant of easement for the drainage channel through this project to the County already. <br />DOMINGO: Okay. And I understand that according to the Public Works policy, their <br />rules, that any water or runoff that is generated by the development should be addressed on the <br />development itself. <br />LIM: That’s correct. We will be implementing the drywells that you usually see <br />in the conditions for the paved surfaces, and for this particular project I don’t think there’s going <br />to be that much paved surface. But we will be handling all of our on-site drainage on site. <br />DOMINGO: So theoretically then no, your project will not impact on any kind of <br />flooding situation that may exist today or may exist in the future in case you have such heavy <br />rains coming from mauka? <br />LIM: That’s correct. We should have no adverse additional impacts. <br />DOMINGO: Okay, thank you. <br />WOODWARD: Any further questions? All right, seeing none, you may be seated, <br />gentlemen. We do have two people from the public now that are signed up to testify. If I could <br />have them come and have a seat at the table. It’s Charlene Nishida and Robert Lee, if you’ll <br />grab yourself a microphone and a chair. And if I could swear you in first. If you’ll raise your <br />right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning <br />Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: I do. <br />WOODWARD: Okay. And Ms. Nishida, you signed up first so if you’ll give us your name <br />and address and then begin your testimony, please. <br />NISHIDA: Charlene Nishida at 16 Hale Nani Place in Hilo. And we purchased our <br />property in 2007, my husband and I; and at that time we purchased the property it was very <br />obvious there were vacant lands behind us. And we called the Planning Department to find out <br />what would be the maximum density or subdivision that those properties could be developed <br />into. And we were very clearly told that it would be Residential 7.5, which was what the current <br />zoning was or is. <br />6 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
