L. RHOADES: I already kind of said why is this zoning change any different from the last 2 which have contributed nothing and kind of ruined the neighborhood. If zoning, why, I think trust is an issue, I think that if you could buy into a residential neighborhood, you should be able to trust that it's going to stay a residential neighborhood. TIAPULA: Sorry, you've finished your 3 minutes. L. RHOADES: Time's up? TIAPULA: Yeah. Thank you. L. RHOADES: Okay. Thank you. LIN: Thank you for your testimony. Any questions Commissioners? No, okay. Thank you so much. Okay, next testifier I have here is Maluhia, is it Mauna? Yep, okay. [Female from audience approached the testifier table]. Okay,just press that button right in front of you, that has a little head, yeah. Yeah, there you go and then please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? MAUNA: Yes. LIN: Okay, please start by stating your name, the town you reside in and then summarize your testimony within 3 minutes. MAUNA: My name is Maluhia Mauna, third generation living on Lanikaula. My mother is Betty Osako who testified online, and I live in Hilo. Okay. My concerns are the same as my mom's and of course the concerns this gentleman raised as well. The other concern is really the public safety, especially during rush hours, in the morning and then after like between 4, 3-3:30, and 5-6 o'clock is very high traffic. Even my friend got into a bad accident last year right on that intersection. So, with added things coming into that section turning and whatnot and people chancing it or whatever, those are very serious concerns for me, for the public especially. Knowing the history, even the history of the stories, cause my mom sharing those stories with us too. Just for the public safety is my main concern, especially in such a high traffic area. I know they made that other street to ease that flow because it's all coming from the UH, yeah. Very intense, always backed up and some people cannot cage their rage so, it gets a little intense sometimes for whatever reasons that they are going through to speed or not drive with aloha. So, one more thing, my brother was a little bit reserved to want to testify but he might want to if it's okay with the Commission for him to be able to testify as well. LIN: Is he in the audience right now? MAUNA: Yeah. LIN: Okay, I'll allow it. Are you finish with your testimony? 6 EXHIBIT B
