HAYASHI:There is no cap. ItÓs what the Council would approve as far as the limit -. KUBOTA:The maximum? HAYASHI:That is correct. KUBOTA:Okay, thatÓs the ceiling? HAYASHI:That is correct. KUBOTA:And is it also correct that, according to Mr. FukeÓs testimony this morning, that the Council has met, the Council Committee on Planning has met already and had gone through the first hearing on it? HAYASHI:Yes, the CouncilÓs Planning Committee met on Tuesday; an of the items they had discussed was the transient accommodation or the number of hotel rooms. And although the recommendation that was sent up to the County Council from the Planning Commission was 200 rooms, the CouncilÓs Planning Co increased that to indicate that they could go up to 400 rooms, hotel rooms. KUBOTA:I see. HAYASHI:This still needs to be approved by the full Council. KUBOTA:Okay, okay. Then I go back, oh, well, no, weÓre not in t process yet. Okay. So thatÓs the current status of this application? The latest is that the County CouncilÓs Planning Committee has looked at it once and th recommendation that we set at 200 to 400. Is that correct? HAYASHI:That is correct; and that is what they will be requestin Council consider. KUBOTA:Okay. One more question to the consultant. Mr. Fuke, your analysis that you presented to the Commission with your application regarding economic feasibility, traffic impact and so forth and so on, the whole write-up, what was the number that was, that that study was based on? Was it 400 that youÓve recently based all of these studies on? FUKE:That is correct. The environmental report that accompanied application discussed the impacts of a 400-unit project. ItÓs not like a situation where the application and the analysis called for 200 and at the last minute weÓre trying to increase it to, by additional 200. So the direct answer to your question is, yes, the evaluation and the analysis made was based on a 400-room hotel. KUBOTA:Thank you. 7
