BOWMAN: I have another question regarding the parking. So maybe I’m -. So your basic concert area is seven acres. BOSTOCK: I think that’s right. That’s part of the polo field. BOWMAN: Okay, so that works out to like 571 people per acre. I don’t know how -. That’s a lot of people in seven acres. BOSTOCK: Yeah, it’s, I didn’t bring any, I did some figuring on how much Waikīkī Shell and the Waikoloa Bowl -. You know, Waikīkī Shell is significantly smaller than seven acres and its official cap is 8,000. BOWMAN: But they have a shell, right, they have seating. Are you going -. BOSTOCK: They only have about, I think it’s about 400 seating and the rest of it is on a slope. But it’s more perfectly arranged for a concert, because it’s a shell and it’s a bowl, rather. So I think in terms of capacity, the space is sufficient. BOWMAN: Okay, thank you. Forgive me, because I’m not a, like, concertgoer but I just -. And I have questions on the parking. What we got is an illustrative layout subject to change; I assume the change would be with agreements and with the recommendations, right, from the Director?

But the boundaries are set by the special permit. BOWMAN: Okay. Yeah, pardon my ignorance. Again, so your, the public parking, I believe, five acres, and the VIP is another two or three? BOSTOCK: Yes. BOWMAN: And that will hold about 1,000 cars. Again, I don’t know, I’m not a parking expert. BOSTOCK: Yes. BOWMAN: Okay, thank you very much. GIFFIN: Commissioners, any other questions of the applicant? Tom. WHITTEMORE: I’ve got a question with respect to the liquor side of it. And just to clarify, I have attended many of those events in the past. As a matter of fact, I was, the canoe club that put it on, I was part of, but that was, all I was involved with was security and things like that. But there were a lot of complexities to that. I’ve got a couple of questions. One, the first one is that you noted that there were several deficiencies or things that needed to change based on what you had heard, I guess, of the past how it was handled. So if you could identify those and what you would do to correct those. And then secondly, my question is with respect to the liquor side with liability. That’s a horrendous road, and when that event is done, there are a lot of cars leaving that and it’s a real traffic fiasco. And I’m just curious – when you’ve got people that have been out there drinking 7 EXHIBIT A
