<br />As the staff had kind of pointed out, you know, the reason why she kind of wants to move is that
<br />she’s basically kind of outgrown, you know, like her existing facility in, in Wainaku. I know
<br />that they’ve been some concerns relative to traffic, etc., and what we kind of wanted to point out
<br />was that, you know, as her application pointed out, is that this generally, you know, from a ten to
<br />six hour, ten to six o’clock period, they average like about, you know, two clients an hour, so
<br />you know, you’re looking at about 18. So, generally, you know, the traffic flow is, is relatively
<br />not as significant. It does not conflict with the a.m./p.m. peak hour traffic let alone the school
<br />traffic.
<br />
<br />In reviewing the report, I noticed also that there is a 6-inch waterline fronting Wainaku Avenue,
<br />and the Water Department did mention that, you know, it may not be adequate for fire flow
<br />protection. That is, in situations like that, what usually happens is that the, the applicant’s
<br />architect would have to coordinate very closely with the Fire Department, and they have to find
<br />some other mitigative measures such as installation of sprinklers, making sure that the structure
<br />is accessible, you know, by fire hoses completely around, you know, the structure, so there are
<br />ways that in spite not having the, what Water Department considers as the full standard fire flow
<br />requirement, during the Building Permit process, it can be addressed.
<br />
<br />That’s pretty much it. I think the staff covered it quite well, but we’d like to respond to any
<br />questions that you may have. Technically, I’ll try to respond to them operationally then, you
<br />know, Cheriess would respond to them, and after conclusion of the public hearing portion, we
<br />would appreciate any opportunity to provide additional comments.
<br />
<br />MOSES: Thank you, Mr. Fuke. I know you, you alluded to this already, but I’m gonna ask the
<br />question again to Ms. Bugado. You did receive the Planning Director’s Background Report and
<br />Recommendation Report. Do you agree with the Director’s Recommendation and its conditions
<br />of approval?
<br />
<br />BUGADO: Yes, I do.
<br />
<br />MOSES: Do you have any further comments regarding it?
<br />
<br />BUGADO: No.
<br />
<br />MOSES: Commissioners, any questions for the applicant? Thank you. Okay, you may be
<br />seated. Public testimony. It looks like there are two people signed up to testify. Garrett Kim
<br />and Gwen Herrington, if you can come up, please? Yes, thank you. I’m gonna swear both of
<br />you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning
<br />Commission? Please raise your right hand.
<br />
<br />KIM: I do, yes.
<br />
<br />HERRINGTON: Yes.
