spaces. Our house has two cars. The house next to us that we built also has two parking spaces. So that adds up to many cars, not just four. So I’d really want you to think that like that. I mean, the mailman parks in that parking space, you know, it’s always blocked. So to bring it from 20 down to 16 is very, very bothersome to us. I guess that’s what I have to say. UNGER: Thank you. KNISS: Mm-hmm. Anyway, we took that picture yesterday. UNGER: Are there any other members of the public that wish to testify on this matter? Seeing no other people here to testify, Commissioners, I need a motion to close public testimony portion of the hearing. KAHOLO: So move. HO HALL: Oh, wait, one second — UNGER: Wait, we have one more. For the record, everybody who has testified, can you please fill out the form and submit it to staff for our records? Thank you. Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth before the Planning Commission? MANGAUIL: ‘Ae. UNGER: Please state your name and your area of residence.

Our ‘ohana has been fortunate to be recipients of some of the open land funds in which the Kipapa Park has now been established. But that is, we are blessed in that one area that has been protected at this time, but to see and again to echo, the overdevelopment and the lack of infrastructure in place to be able to allow any permits going forward. And it’s, it’s always very thing for myself to always acknowledge, you know, there already is a lot of water issues in Kona; you have one mountain that gathers the water for this area, and very few of the springs on Mauna Loa is able to make it down to this region. And so without the, with the lack of infrastructure, and then also we see what infrastructure has been laid down, the roadway and stuff, it has not been set to just relieve the existing traffic, because we can already see the developmental plans to expand development that would only further more clog the roadways. A lot of my ‘ohana still live down in this area, too, and I’ve heard them 6 EXHIBIT A
