CONANT: Yes sir. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai‘i <br />County Planning Commission? <br /> <br />CONANT: I do. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Could you please state your name and residence? <br /> <br />CONANT: My name is June Conant, President of Hawaiian Paradise Park. Hawaiian Paradise <br />Park address is HC3 Box 11000, Kea‘au. We were unaware that they were purchasing the lot <br />next to them to eventually build further things. Something else that I thought about since we <br />wrote the letter is that a possibility might be a--so they wouldn’t have to have a two-lane road on <br />the Hilo side of the property, is just do a one lane in, make it a one-way street. In other words <br />rd <br />coming in off of 23 and then out off of Kaloli. I think that would eliminate some of the safety <br />concerns with the blind hill area. But our by-laws were changed back in 2010 to not allow new <br />driveways to come off the main roads for safety reasons, so we’re trying very, very hard to, <br />anyone that’s building new homes or anybody that’s changing the structure of the existing <br />situations, to try and encourage people to come off of the side roads rather than the main roads. <br />st <br />We, of course, just recently the church on 31 and Paradise, we asked that all the traffic go off of <br />st <br />31 rather than off of Paradise and that was granted, so--we certainly appreciate, you know, their <br />financial situation, as I said, I was unaware until today that they were planning to expand in the <br />th <br />future and have a driveway off 24, which would be wonderful, but if they did just the one <br />driveway, one lane, along the Hilo side of the property, I don’t think that would be that onerous <br />to the neighboring person. I don’t think they’d have to take down all the vegetation that’s there, <br />and then come out on Kaloli. Thank you. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: You have any questions, Commissioners, for the testifier? Thank you. Could I <br />call back the applicant, please? Do you have any comment to-- <br /> <br />OKA: Just to let you know, that drawing is not fully representational -- <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Excuse me, excuse me, can you use the microphone? <br /> <br />OKA: Oh, I’m sorry. The drawing that you see is not really – I don’t know if it’s to scale. The <br />distance from the corner of the house to the fence line is only 26 feet on the Hilo side, and from <br />the catchment tank—okay, yeah, from this corner to the fence is only 26 feet and from the <br />catchment tank to the fence here actually is wider than it looks because it’s like 33 feet because <br />this is a 30-foot setback, so the catchment tank is actually, sits back a little bit further here. So <br />coming into here, you’re gonna push this driveway really close to this fence all right, and coming <br />in, in this way, you’re going to be really close, to the, to the, to the corner lot here – the corner of <br />the road. <br /> <br />5 <br />EXHIBIT E <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
