WHITTEMORE: I want to go back to the traffic thing just for, just a suggestion more than anything else. I know that the way that you’ve got it configured now with the drive-through in the back, you need to have access on the driver side of vehicle; but if you reversed it and did sort of a module unit on the outside so the driver were on the, you know, facing the north side, you would be, your traffic seems to me, the flow would go a lot easier towards accomplishing what they are talking about, creating a lane to merge right. Am I explaining myself properly? I just, I know it’s a little complicated. Some financial institutions have accomplished it very successfully. It’s just a kiosk kind of a thing, and you -. S. LEE: Well, we don’t take too many people are going to exit out onto Kuakini, because if you enter from Palani and you drive around the, around the bank, you are going to, your, the natural route, the way out is going to be on Palani. WHITTEMORE: I think that a left turn on Palani is suicidal truthfully. You see people trying to get out of, I see people trying to get out of King Kamehameha Hotel and it’s a challenge, so it’s just -. And you’ve got an incline there, you’ve got a shorter lane because you’ve got two lanes, one’s got to turn, you know, north on Kuakini, but -. Anyway, I’m not Public Works. But just a comment. GIFFIN: Any other concerns? The applicant, would you like to have any sort of closing comment? S. LEE: No. We appreciate the comments. We are working closely with the County on these various issues. GIFFIN: Okay. Mr. Gimpel? GIMPEL: No, thank you. GIFFIN: You’re welcome. Ki, anything else you’d like to add? EMLER: No, ma’am. GIFFIN: All right, thank you. Commissioners, if I’ve read your body language correctly, there are no more comments on this application. Do I hear a motion? Mr. Iokepa. IOKEPA: Madam Chair, I propose a motion to approve Special Management Permit No. 12- 000049 to allow the establishment of a financial institution complex. GIFFIN: Thank you. Do I hear a second? HICKCOX: Second. GIFFIN: It’s been moved by Commissioner Iokepa and seconded by Commissioner Hickcox that the Special Management Area Use Permit 12-000049 be approved, along with the recommendations by the Director, including the comments that were raised by the public and the answers to questions that were submitted to us by Planning, by Public Works. Any discussion? Hearing none, Daryn? ARAI: Commissioner Iokepa? 10 EXHIBIT A
