<br />KERN: Any other questions for staff? Seeing none, thank you, Jeff. <br /> <br />DARROW: Thank you. <br /> <br />KERN: Can I get the applicant or their representative to please come forward. And I’ll, good <br />morning, I’ll swear you in. Will you please raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth today <br />before the Windward Planning Commission? <br /> <br />ANDERSON: Yes. I do. <br /> <br />KERN: Very good. If you could just use your microphone. You’ve received the background report <br />and recommendation. Do you have any comments you’d like to make? Did you receive the <br />background report and recommendation? <br /> <br />ANDERSON: Yes. <br /> <br />KERN: Yes. Any comments you’d like to make at this time? <br /> <br />ANDERSON: No. Maybe addressing yours, Mr. Ono, we submitted the application to DOT within <br />two weeks after the original special permit was approved by the Planning Commission two years ago, <br />within two weeks. After over a year, it was closer to 14 months, they had lost it twice. I flew down <br />and met with the Deputy Director, Jan Gouveia, she stepped in, and she got an agent assigned to us, <br />Mr. Travis Tomono, who has been excellent. The problem is they use a defined term in the special use <br />permit called a minor traffic impact assessment. They can’t tell you what that is. So we had to submit <br />it, which we’ve done. Peter Dahlberg is our engineer. We’ve submitted the traffic impact assessment. <br />It took three months to review. They came back with comments. We went back with changes. We’re <br />awaiting now for their comments back. But it’s been a, this past year has been a constant, at least once <br />a month, once every two weeks communication, a lot of downtime waiting for engineers to review the <br />reports. We did a site impact, we did a site distance study, a traffic impact study, and there was one <br />additional study we had to do for DOT. <br /> <br />ONO: You submitted it? <br /> <br />ANDERSON: Yeah. It has been frustrating. <br /> <br />KERN: A little housekeeping. Can I get you to state your name, please -. <br /> <br />ANDERSON: Oh -. <br /> <br />KERN: And area in which you live. <br /> <br />ANDERSON: Brian Anderson. I’m very sorry. <br /> <br />KERN: No problem. I usually ask for that. I forgot to. Thanks. <br /> <br /> 4 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
