<br />MIYASATO: Commissioners, any questions for the applicant? <br /> <br />IKEDA: Yes, yes, I have some. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Commissioner Ikeda. <br /> <br />IKEDA: Mr. Fuke, the reason I’m asking this is, I’ve got to ask you this question, is—Nani <br />Mau, is it on Mamaki Street? No? <br /> <br />FUKE: Nani Mau Gardens is situated on Makalika Street and— <br /> <br />IKEDA: --oh, Makalika— <br /> <br />FUKE: --yeah— <br /> <br />IKEDA: --Okay, no, the reason is that I remember once before someone came over, and I think <br />they were one street over from Mamaki Street, but the association, they was really against it. <br />You know, that happened four years ago. It did pass Planning Commission, but when it went to <br />Council, it got killed. I think you remember that, and we were trying to—I was on the board <br />trying to pass it, but we couldn’t because how can you pass something when you don’t have the <br />community support, so I hope you guys have your meetings and so forth because I don’t want to <br />see that happen, you know, again. <br /> <br />FUKE: I think that the property that you’re referring to is on, I believe it’s on Awa Street and <br />Mamaki Street, but it’s on the Hilo side of Mamaki Street-- <br /> <br />IKEDA: --Right— <br /> <br />FUKE: --Excuse me, Makalika Street, and it was largely an undeveloped property, and the <br />landowner was proposing a project that would have consisted of about like eight or ten lots— <br /> <br />IKEDA: --Right— <br /> <br />FUKE: --This is quite unusual because, you know, that property was one of the few properties <br />that were larger and was undeveloped and in this situation here, as with the previous applicant, <br />you already had like long-standing residence and so they’re basically trying to subdivide for <br />estate planning purposes as opposed to doing a development. <br /> <br />IKEDA: Yeah, I just—I didn’t want to see you guys get roadblocks or blindsided when you go <br />to Council because I know it’s going to pass here, but when you go to the Council, if you don’t <br />have the community support, if they’re in opposition, you might run into some trouble. <br /> <br />FUKE: Thank you very much for the heads up. <br /> <br /> <br />5 <br />EXHIBIT C <br /> <br /> <br />
