NISHIMURA: We will. HICDC intends to cooperate and participate with the Planning <br />Department and the County to resolve that matter. <br />MIYASATO: Okay, `cause, you know, it just, it's just that in the future, if someone else comes <br />up with 15 acres and says oh, you know, this project didn't have to do it, why do we? And, the <br />background comment will probably be, oh, the Commission, you know, overlooked it. And, I <br />don't want to be the Commission that, referenced, that overlooked it. I rather be a Commission <br />that's referenced that corrected it, yeah? So, I just would want an assurance that that would be <br />followed up on. <br />NISHIMURA: Yes, it will. <br />MIYASATO: Okay, thank you. <br />HENKEL: Joseph? <br />CLARKSON: In fact, if I can make one more suggestion since we have a Council Member here <br />[Secretary's Note: Council Member Valerie Poindexter was in the audience.] that in addition to <br />the remaining nine acres of your project that requires a land use amendment, it looks to me based <br />on the Planning maps that a great deal more land in this vicinity should be part of the State <br />Urban rather than Agricultural area, and that the Council might want to consider doing a, <br />applying for a much larger land use change in the future. <br />HENKEL: You know, in the past here, the term "affordable housing" you know relates to a <br />percentage of the median housing price of a home on the island. In the context of senior <br />housing, is there a formula that determines what is affordable? <br />NISHIMURA: All of the units that have been developed by HICDC for this project are for <br />seniors who earn less than 50 percent of the median family income. <br />HENKEL: And, then their rent would be a percentage of that income? <br />NISHIMURA: No more than 30 percent of that, their income. <br />HENKEL: Thank you. Any more questions? Okay, Brian, you may be seated. Thank you very <br />much. We have one person signed up to testify. Jo -Ann Kalamau, would you please come <br />forward? <br />KALAMAU (from audience): Sure. <br />KALAMAU: Okay. <br />HENKEL: Jo -Ann, would you raise your right hand, please? Do you swear or affirm to tell the <br />truth in this matter before the Planning Commission? <br />KALAMAU: Yes. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />6 <br />
