of houses with driveways into the main road. They'll have a main road that goes into the subdivision, and I don't want to say a through road, that there's a major feeder to feed the lots off that. CLARKSON: Okay. [l: 04 p.m. Mr. Darrow, Ms. Jackson, and Mr. Kay arrived.] JACKSON: Hello. Thank you for waiting. CLARKSON: Okay, so, we'reI asked a question already, but I'm going to ask one of you the same question because it's still not crystal clear. Is that okay?

CLARKSON: Please introduce yourself, speak directly into the microphone, and proceed with your testimony about these issues. MATSUURA: Thank you. My name is Peter Matsuura. I'm from Hilo, and I want to thank the Director, the Chairman, the Members of the Planning Commission, the staff for this opportunity to speak, and I won't go over these in detail, but of the ten requests or amendments that we proposed, seven have received a favorable recommendation by the Planning Director, and I won't speak to those until after. The three that were given a denial or an unsatisfactory—and so, we'll speak to those very quickly. Condition R and Condition P really have to do with curb, gutter, and sidewalk, and this is not much different from what Commissioner Ikeda said. And, it's not so much that we don't EXHIBIT C 12
