COTTLE: Yeah, that complaint has already been resolved. They were assessed a $500 fine for basically cutting down most of the trees on the property during Hawaiian Hawk breeding season which was one of your conditions that they not do that. So that complaint has already been resolved. ONO: And can the other concern that I have is, I would assume that the Kaūmana Drive improvement, the need to have that completed before they did the vertical structures was so that the materials and whatever would have an easier time getting into the development, so doing it concurrently as you’re recommending would place a heavier traffic burden on the existing Kaūmana today because of the, the improvement have not even taken place. COTTLE: When you say the improvement, you mean the Kaūmana Drive improvement? ONO: Yes. COTTLE: The condition was included in the permit originally because an agreement was worked out between the Luana Gardens Community Association and the applicant. The community association had concern that a lot of truck traffic would be going in and out of the driveway access. So this was an agreement those two parties had come to, yeah they had asked for, the applicant had asked that site work could be done while improvements to Kaūmana Drive were being constructed so you know, grading, grubbing, leveling the pad, but not actual vertical construction because the assumption was that would bring in more traffic. You’d have more contractor workers coming in compared to as if you were just having like grading equipment on site. So, that was the reason for the condition in the beginning. Now whether or not there are traffic concerns or safety concerns because more traffic may be generated, I think Department of Public Works should respond to that. ONO: Okay, I live on that, further up, but I live on that and I can already see problems with the traffic so I guess what I’m asking is that if you do it concurrently, if the road is not complete, you will have more traffic problems at this because you’re doing things concurrently. So the original recommendation of having the Kaūmana Drive Road completed first makes sense to me and a, but if the association is saying they’re willing to compromise, well, I guess my problem is minor compared to their’s, so I just wanted to clarify. COTTLE: Okay. ONO: Thank you. GONZALES: Okay, I think we’re okay for now. I’d like to call up the applicant if I may. Sir, will you raise your right hand, please? Do you swear to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? STROUD: I do. GONZALES. Thank you. Go ahead, sir. And, we have Mr. Brilhante. 4 EXHIBIT F
