<br />DARROW: Mr. Chairman? I’m sorry to interrupt. I forgot to mention that there also was a <br />support letter from Commissioner, Councilmember Illagan that was in support of this business. <br />This has been passed out to the Commissioners. Thank you. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Very good. Any other questions for the applicant? Okay, thank you very much. <br /> <br />HABERMANN: Thank you. <br /> <br />GONZALES: We do have one person signed up to testify today. Carnor Sumida? Would you <br />like to come forward? <br /> <br />SUMIDA: Good morning. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Good morning. Will you raise your right hand, please? Do you swear to tell the <br />truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? <br /> <br />SUMIDA: Yes. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Thank you. Use the microphone. Tell us your name, where you live, and then <br />you’ll have three minutes. <br /> <br />th <br />SUMIDA: Okay, Carnor Sumida. I live in Hawaiian Paradise Park on 28 Avenue. I have a lot <br />rd <br />up on 33 that has just been approved by your council also—I’m all for you know, you know <br />rd <br />I’m in favor of more businesses coming in to 33. There’s just so much land that’s available for <br />business, you know, there’s a lot of residential also. I also like your term of your word “fair <br />share.” When we were approved, the original lot owners were approved as business lot owners. <br />We had to pay our fair share of the road which was an enormous, economic burden on us. So, <br />our understanding was that anybody that comes in will pay their fair share for what we paid for <br />the road. And there was another lot owner that didn’t apply for his permit yet, and I think their <br />name is, their name is Bumatai. They, just so they was being fair, they put in a $1,500 deposit <br />on the road on the condition that when they do start up their business, that they would put in the <br />rest of their fair share. So, I’m all for, you know, anybody coming in. Obviously, he’s gonna <br />have some economic growth for the community which is great, and also is going to have a <br />burden on the road also which is going to bring in more traffic. So, that should be their fair <br />share. That’s your new term, fair share. That’s all I gotta say. Thank you. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Any questions for Mr. Sumida? <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: Yeah, thank you for coming this morning. Could you give us an idea of the <br />numbers you’re talking about? You said that the Bumatais contributed $1,500 towards what <br />amount? <br /> <br />SUMIDA: We paid about, almost $70,000 for the road. So, we divided it up within the four <br />original permits. And the Bumatai was going to be the fifth permit, but they, they’re like in a <br />holding pattern. I don’t know really what’s going on. <br />4 <br />EXHIBIT D <br /> <br /> <br />
