HENKEL: Thank you. You have three minutes. Please speak into the microphone and
<br />KALAMAU: Okay. Anything to do with HICDC I'm interested, because I'm a resident in
<br />Phase 1 for three years since they got done. Well, I came because I wanted to support this new
<br />Phase 3 coming up, and I that's why I got ready to come. Usually, I'm home sleeping as a
<br />retired person, but I felt this was important that I've always had good feelings about Mr. Kato
<br />and Jaime and I wanted to make sure that this goes through, but a lot of the residents have told
<br />me their concerned about the parking, I mean coming in and out of the property, that we only
<br />have one way in and one way out. And, you approving the thing, this measure already so you
<br />must know the answer to that but not the residents.
<br />So, I was wondering if I can take back to them that they can ease their mind that going have
<br />enough room for go in and out of Phase 1, 2, and 3. You probably know that. And, so, you
<br />know, everyplace have problems, you know. In my case, I don't like dogs and there's seven
<br />around me, and I work at it. But, overall, this place is affordable. They keep it as clean as they
<br />can, and it's wonderful to live there, and when I see people driving in and out of the property, I
<br />know they're looking. They want to be living up there with us, and I'm hoping that they can.
<br />But, it fills up so fast, and I'm happy that this 92 more units will be coming up. And, they'll be
<br />happy, and I'll be happy that seniors are able to have a roof over their head and enjoy themselves
<br />in their later years `cause I plan to die over there. I'm sure other people, too, `cause they're very,
<br />very happy, and so am I in spite of our problems.
<br />And, I'm done with my three minutes.
<br />HENKEL: Thank you, Jo -Ann. Do you have anything else to add? I'll let you go.
<br />KALAMAU: Just the parking.
<br />HENKEL: Okay. Brian, would you come up and address Jo -Ann's concerns about parking and
<br />access?
<br />NISHIMURA: The 15 -acre property has one access off of Mohouli Street through Kupuna
<br />Place. During the 201H pre-emption process, HICDC was restricted from making a connection
<br />to the Sunrise Ridge Subdivision. What you saw in one of the pictures that the staff provided
<br />was a—there was a connection for emergency purposes only. And, that is—there was a gate put
<br />up and is only opened during emergency situations. Fire Department has a key. And, that's a
<br />that was a condition or a constraint placed on the project. There's no other available access point
<br />because access from Komohana Street, which is the other adjacent street, was also restricted. So,
<br />the project had to deal with the limitations being imposed on it and, you know, has been—the
<br />whole project was planned with that one access point off of Mohouli Street, and they really
<br />didn't have any other alternative as far as an alternate access.
<br />In terms of parking, each project that is being developed provides sufficient parking for each of
<br />the individual projects. So, additional parking is provided as each phase is constructed.
