 The possibility of unsightly pop-up tents and umbrellas by tenants, especially restaurants, is a concern.  The existing restrooms could use improvements.  Create a pathway connecting Kuakini Highway and the parking area through the middle of the elongated Kuakini Highway wing for pedestrians’ convenience.  Provide benches or the like for people to sit down in the shade. Commissioner Hetherington then moved to amend his motion to include that the Commission encourage the applicant to (1) incorporate canopy trees in the landscaping reserve fronting Kuakini Highway to provide shade and additional aesthetic value along the extensive building frontage, and (2) install bike racks in the parking area to serve and encourage use by cyclists. The motion to amend was seconded by Commissioner Kitchens and unanimously passed by a voice vote. Subsequently, a roll call vote was taken for the main motion, and it was unanimously carried.
