KATO: Right. When we first brought it up, yeah, before the County, it was—we were trying to
<br />get the whole property so designated, and the Council, you know, agreed. This really is—the
<br />reason we're here today is basically a technical glitch, the way I see it. Quite frankly, you know,
<br />for years, we've been using this 201H process and so long as the property is under 15 acres, we
<br />include the change in the State Land Use District along with, you know, the zoning and any kind
<br />of exemptions that we seek. And, you know, this has been going on and on and on. But, the
<br />Land Use Commission staff, you know, I guess they looked at that exemption procedure or
<br />process in the HRS and it refers to processing LUC changes through Section 205, you know,
<br />which is the Land Use Commission's statute.
<br />So, you know, they basically have raised this question, and we're just, you know, are here today
<br />to get the matter kind of cleaned up so that there's no question that this is State Land Use Urban.
<br />The zoning has already been approved. Relief on the parking, you know, we'll provide one stall
<br />per unit instead of one and a quarter. Anyway, and, that relief, you know, we sought, and it was
<br />approved. So, it's—and it's something that the State is aware of so HHFDC which is the agency
<br />that, you know, this is Housing Finance and Development Corp., the State housing people who
<br />are created by this 201 section of the statute, they're gonna, they're proposing an amendment to
<br />just clarify that for, you know, properties less than 15 acres, you know, that the LUC change is
<br />going to be handled by the appropriate County agency.
<br />HENKEL: Thank you. You may be seated now. Anybody else?
<br />KALAMAU (from audience): Can I comment on the going in and out of the residence?
<br />HENKEL: Please come back up and use the microphone, Jo -Ann.
<br />KALAMAU (from audience): Okay.
<br />KALAMAU: Well, the answer is we not going get one other in and out, a hearing. Okay, so that
<br />tells me that we gotta be a little bit more patient when we get to the stop sign at Mohouli because
<br />the left turn is a good left turn `cause we can stop and wait our turn. There's a lane for us to
<br />wait, okay? Getting into that lane, we gotta wait for the traffic opens up for us like normal.
<br />Okay? So, if that's the way we have to live, then that's the way we gonna live, but I've never
<br />had a problem going in and out.
<br />And, the second thing was I understand that HICDC paid for a traffic light there but never got
<br />installed. Now, we have never used the traffic light so life is going on as usual. So, being that, I
<br />just going back and tell the residents just be patient and don't grumble. That's it.
<br />HENKEL: Thank you, and I don't know, maybe at some point, there could be a right turn
<br />only—
<br />KALAMAU: That's another option—be patient and go around the block like that.
<br />HENKEL: As Commissioner Ikeda pointed out, it's easy to just go around. You know, we
<br />just want to make sure that it's safe.
