two miles, maybe a mile, I mean, Waimea School, Waimea Elementary School, a couple of other schools, HPA; so we are just a small piece of this early morning rush, a lot of parents coming to school, delivering people, both public and private, multiple charter schools as well. So our access into this back area really is depended on the capacity to be able to use KapiÒolani. Our perception or observations are that piece of KapiÒolani is where the particular issues are, on the first portion of KapiÒolani to the entrance into the school, and that there is very little kind of general, around-the-town creation of traffic; itÓs just very concentrated in that area. When we did the master plan, we really focused on kind of -. ItÓs a very conceptual master plan; we didnÓt get into the details of buildings because we were ways away from that and knowing what budgets are in that kind of work, itÓs really a matter of placing the larger stones in the mixed, whether, what belongs where. And so that the two big pieces are really a gymnasium or athletic facility, which the school lacks today as ability to, a class related, physical education classroom, and a middle school that will allow them to create a pocket for that. So where those two pieces went is a key in our master plan. Originally, we had actually identified the gym up here because it allowed the penetration, tried to keep the penetration of the public out of the, because we expect that to be used publicly and be shared as part of, with the community under some terms. But the PuÒuk Street people particularly and some of these neighbors felt that might be more noisy and more of a problem, so we relocated it back to the inside of the campus, and still wish to put the middle school there. And as one of the things Carl was referring to in terms of things we would start with right off the bat, one of the things we know we would start with as we began this process is the landscaping necessary to put a buffer around the outsides of these neighbors, and weÓve been in communication with most of these, with these neighbors for some time. But that would be one of the first things the school would do is start to plant the trees even if we donÓt build the gym for, or the school for a bunch of years. We want to make sure that that buffer is in place and that landscape is in place. So what IÓd like to do is just -. We have reviewed the specific recommendations. ThereÓre a couple that weÓd like to discuss with the Commission just to get some clarity and perhaps an amendment. The first issue we want to talk about is Condition No. 6. Six is the time frame condition and it says that we will have constructed the gymnasium in a five-year period, and both the gymnasium and the athletic fields have purposes in five, and that the middle school would come in a ten-year period. We are just real aware at this point in time that that would, we can guarantee you that we would be back for an extension before that period in time. Simply their ability to raise the $5,000,000 ~ $6,000,000 that will take to put together the gymnasium would take some time to initiate, let alone to construct. So our request on that particular condition is that we amend it to a ten- and a 15-year period in time. We will begin on pieces of that; but the way itÓs written, it says that we have to construct by the end of five and ten years, and we know that that -. WATANABE: Would you like to take these individually and we address them individually, Mr. Melrose? MELROSE: ThatÓs up to you. I think there are about four of them. You can tell me which way youÓd like to do, or I can just run them through quickly and you can come back at them. EXHIBIT A 16
