Pua Chamberlin and Ron Dugan, Dugon. All right. Can I get you both to raise your right hand. Do <br />you swear to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? <br /> <br />TESTIFIERS: Yes. <br /> <br />KERN: Very good. And we’ll start with Pua Chamberlin, and name and area in which you live, and <br />then your three minutes will begin. <br /> <br />th <br />CHAMBERLIN: My name is Pua Chamberlin. My address is 16-2055 37 Avenue in Orchidland <br />th <br />Estates. My property is the second lot off of Ainaloa Boulevard on 37. I know John Hegarty, he’s a <br />very nice man. So, I talked to him earlier, and I don't want him to take this personally. I attended the <br />last meeting with personal opposition to the store because my property is approximately 50 feet from <br />th <br />the proposed parking lot facing 37 Avenue. When I used to look out of my dining and bedroom <br />windows there was a beautiful ‘Ōhi‘a forest. Now there is a beautiful pasture. The negativities of the <br />store will be the noise of the traffic in the parking lot and the loading dock area which is also close to <br />th <br />37. But there were more ayes than nays so I change my perspective, and I am not against the store at <br />all. <br /> <br />However I was taken aback by Mr. Au’s response when he said that Mr. Hegarty should make the <br />th <br />entrance/exit on 37. This is what I oppose. I’ve lived at this address for 33 years. When I moved <br />there the road was so narrow that two cars couldn’t pass at the same time. One of them had to stop on <br />the side to allow the other to drive by. Through the years the road has widened where the cars speed <br />by, overtake, and burn rubber. And, mind you, this is an unpaved road with potholes. If the <br />th <br />entrance/exit is allowed on 37 I can only foresee much more of this happening. My home is the only <br />th <br />residence on 37 between Ainaloa and the boundary of Mr. Hegarty's property. Thirty-seventh <br />Avenue is a private road which we the property owners have to pay a yearly road maintenance fee. <br />Ainaloa Boulevard is a public County road. Mr. Hegarty already has three entrances and exits already <br />established on the Boulevard. Why would Mr. Au even consider to recommend using a private road <br />for such purposes? Would you as a resident of Hawaiian Paradise Park approve a public access or a <br />bypass going through your private road in front of your home at HPP? This is what will happen to my <br />th <br />family if 37 is allowed an entrance/exit from Mr. Hegarty’s store. John said at that last meeting that <br />th <br />he would not consider using 37, so I appeal to all of you to think this through. Would you allow or <br />want it to happen to your own private residence? I spoke to John this morning and he kind of eased me <br />th <br />a little bit, but I still have concerns about 37 being used. Mahalo. <br /> <br />KERN: Thank you. Are there any questions for the testifier? Seeing none, thank you. Ron Dugon? <br /> <br />DUGON: Right. I live at -. <br /> <br />KERN: Could you please use the microphone, and give me your name and area in which you live, and <br />then you may begin. <br /> <br />DUGON: Okay, Ron Dugon. I live at 16-649 Ainaloa Boulevard, which is approximately 2 ½ miles <br />up from the neighborhood store itself. And I’ve lived there for over 17 years. And I came to the last <br />meeting, and I’m here again. And I’m here to say I’m in favor of this store because I don’t see any <br />increase in traffic. I have people coming by my place up at the top where there’s a long straightaway <br /> 6 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br /> <br /> <br />
