<br /> <br />HENKEL: So, if there were any problem areas, it would be like the Department of Health or <br />someone that would, that would probably watch— <br /> <br />ARAI: Yes, I believe it is the Department of Health that would look into those type of emission <br />controls. I think they state even in the letter normally it is done in spray booths, right? So, the <br />booth itself was supposed to capture but apparently you know they are still receiving complaints <br />about the smell. <br /> <br />HENKEL: Thank you. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Any other questions, Commissioners? If not, we have no public testimony on this <br />matter. Oh, okay. <br /> <br />ROSANOFF: I’ll just take a minute. I’m fast. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Please raise your hand. <br /> <br />ROSANOFF: Yes. <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 />ROSANOFF: I do. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Could you please state your name and residence? <br /> <br />ROSANOFF: My name is Andrea Rosanoff. I live at 13-1255 Mālama Street in Pāhoa, <br />Hawai‛i. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: You have three minutes. <br /> <br />ROSANOFF: Thank you. If this is as I understand it, I’m speaking—I recently sold the <br />building that my husband and I owned which was a residential one in Hilo, Hawai‛i on Ululani <br />Street, and we ran that as a 12-unit building for 12 different families for 11 years, no 14 years. <br />And it was close to Hilo, and I’d be right to downtown. And the thing that was really beneficial <br />to most of the people who came and wanted to stay there, and it was a really affordable housing, <br />was that the elderly people, the young families who couldn’t afford a car, and two disabled <br />people found it so convenient because they could walk to all the services of Hilo, Downtown <br />Hilo. They could go to the grocery store. They could go to McDonald’s. They could go to <br />yoga. They could go to the movies. They could go anywhere they wanted to without having to <br />have a car, and it was really a benefit. In fact, we had some elderly residents who were given the <br />choice to move out to assisted housing for elderly way out up Pepe‛ekeō, and they didn’t want to <br />go because they didn’t want to be so far. They didn’t want to be dependent on transportation. <br />So, as I understand this, and we always thought it would be really great if Downtown Hilo could <br />allow residents to live there. The thing that stopped it before was the place for them to park the <br />3 <br />EXHIBIT E <br /> <br /> <br />
