securing a partner to develop the housing component and so Ms. Marian Gushiken is here from
<br />EAH. She will be speaking about the housing component.
<br />With regard to the recommendation, so we have read and discussed the recommendations of the
<br />Planning Director, and, yes, we appreciate the extension to ten years. Then, with regard to the
<br />other two conditions, I'd just like to explain that initially, when HIVM came in with this project,
<br />they held the lease for all three parcels. The two parcels, the parcel that the CVC/CBOC or the
<br />Combined Veterans Center and the Community -Based Outpatient Clinic is to be built on as well
<br />as the Ululani Street extension which is going to be used just for access and also the third parcel,
<br />the larger parcel where housing is going to be held. So, HIVM held the lease for all three
<br />parcels. Since acquiring a housing development partner, the leases have been changed, so, yes,
<br />the water commitment was paid for the CVC/CBOC properties.
<br />Now, the lease for the housing component has gone through the process. We have received the
<br />approval of the BLNR to transfer the lease for the third larger parcel where housing is to be built,
<br />and that is in process of being executed. So, that lease has been approved by the BLNR and is
<br />going to be transferred to EAH. EAH has not been in a position, not being the leaseholder, to
<br />pay that commitment. So, we are very close to getting an executed lease for the housing parcel,
<br />and at that point, EAH will be in a position as the leaseholder to make the payment of the water
<br />commitment deposit.
<br />Now, with regard to the Traffic Division's comment, it was our misunderstanding that
<br />streetlights for illumination, we misunderstood that to be traffic signals. Big difference. So,
<br />there's a traffic signal at the intersection of Kino`ole and Kawili and also at Kawili and
<br />Kapi`olani. Our driveway will be approximately half way between the two, and so because of
<br />our misunderstanding, we request that this condition to be deleted. Anyway, any—shall I
<br />WILLIAMS: —Well, we withdraw that, yes. Chairman Clarkson and Members of the Planning
<br />Commission, staff, Corp. Counsel, members of the public, thank you. Bob Williams is my name.
<br />I've been project manager for this for ten, twelve years. Long time in the pipeline coming and
<br />hallelujah, it's there. Just to clarify one thing. We're talking about a total parcel here that
<br />includes 5.6 acres. It's the upper tmk which extends all the way back to the tail end of Ululani
<br />Street and also where there is a water source back there. That's all earmarked for housing for
<br />EAH develop—our partner. The other sandwich little strip parcels are 60 -foot wide roadway
<br />easement which is actually a County property that we added to or leased once we got the
<br />executive orders for the upper parcel. And, then the lower parcel which at the time was about .9
<br />acres, subsequently, we did a parcel consolidation, the old abandoned roadway easement to our
<br />makai, on the makai side, and so it gave us about a sum total of about an acre plus to do a
<br />10,600 -square foot facility that we have already completed the design and engineering plans for.
<br />I've got a shovel ready to go minus zoning, and that parcel, just addressing those lower two
<br />parcels now, that consist of about an acre half and that parcel will ideally be built by the
<br />Department of Veterans Affairs, the VA. We—that was our preferred developer and who we
<br />intended to build that for.
<br />By the way, we also put in two sewer taps on the driveway, and we also put in—we also have a
<br />sewer tap for our lower parcel, so we got the sewers completed. They are all roughed in. We got
