SUTHERLAND, J.: Good morning, Chairman, Commissioners. Good morning. My name is
<br />James Sutherland. I live at [stated address] so I got the letter from Mr. Fuke. I'm within the
<br />300 -foot range, and I have several concerns. I am a retired fireman. One of my concerns is
<br />access for, emergency access to the project that on paper it says Wiliwili Street is an emergency
<br />access only and there will be barriers. Please do not put barriers between the Kaumana Fire
<br />Station responders and who should not have to do down Mohouli through a traffic light
<br />intersection to get into this project, and especially since we don't know when the, the Puainako
<br />Extension will get to Mohouli. Let them go down Wiliwili Street, and bang! They'll be right in
<br />the middle of this project, able to serve both the commercial and residential occupants.
<br />I think an 80 -foot roadway is a little over the top. I think 60 -foot is adequate, but like lower
<br />Ponahawai, but I that gotta come with sidewalks and paved swales, and, you know, they made
<br />the small guys on lower Ponahawai, that fourplex and the Nakai [sic] rehab center, and they then
<br />put in paved swales and sidewalks. I don't think these guys should get a, get a pass on that.
<br />I also agree that about the underground utilities. You know, this—let's, let's do it right. And, as
<br />a firefighter, I know if you put up a bunch of poles up along roadways, people will smack them,
<br />and if you have underground utilities, it's safer as well as more aesthetically correct. And, less
<br />maintenance for Helco for that matter.
<br />Oh yes, I'd like there to beI'm happy to hear that they are going to leave Pu`u Honu intact in
<br />its natural state. That's pretty much my backyard as a Spring Street resident. Thereat the
<br />adjacent recreational area, seven acres mauka of Pu`u Honu, I'd like there to be pedestrian access
<br />from Alenaio Street so that people in our neighborhood could enjoy that, that park as well as the
<br />future occupants of the subdivision.
<br />And, the noise issues, you know, I'd like them to comply with that, and originally, they got
<br />Planning Commission, Planning Department gave them three years, and that runs out July 29th,
<br />you know, they, they—and they haven't, haven't made much progress. I know financing etc.,
<br />etc., but let's get on with it, and if this project's going to come to our neighborhood, let's, you
<br />know, let's do it, and be good neighbors while you do. Thank you.
<br />CLARKSON: Any questions for the testifiers from the Commission? If not, thank you. Will
<br />Claudia Rohr, Dwight Vicente, and Steve Hannigan please come forward? Please raise your
<br />right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Planning
<br />Commission today?
<br />ROHR: Yes.
<br />VICENTE: [No response.]
<br />HANNIGAN: [Nodded yes.]
<br />CLARKSON: Thank you. We'll start with Mr. Hannigan. Please introduce yourself and
<br />proceed.
