(Counsel for the Commission), Jean Campbell, <br /> Esq. (Counsel for the Planning Department), Zendo Kern (Planning Director), Tracie Lee <br /> Camero (Planning Program Manager), and Melissa Dacayanan-Salvador (Windward Planning <br /> Commission Secretary) <br /> APPLICANT: HAWAI`I ISLAND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION <br /> (HICDC)(SLU 20-000054) <br /> Application for a State Land Use Boundary Amendment from Agricultural to Urban for <br /> approximately 9.09 acres of land. The property is located at 1450 Mohouli Street, directly west <br /> (mauka) of the Mohouli Senior Housing Project and the County of Hawaii Fire Administration <br /> Support Complex, approximately 1,600 feet west of the Mohouli Street and Komohana Street <br /> intersection, Waiakea, South Hilo, Hawaii, <br /> TMK: (3) 2-4-001:168. <br /> Secretary's Note: "—" indicates indiscernible speech due to internet/technical difficulties or <br /> simultaneous talk. <br /> REPLOGLE: So first up, we have Dr. Lovina Sabnani? <br /> KELLER: This is Tim Keller. Dr. Sabnani due to the short notice and her scheduling out of <br /> three to four months for surgeries can't make it so I'll be speaking on her behalf. <br /> REPLOGLE: Okay. Mr. Keller? <br /> KELLER: Yes, both Dr. Sabnani and myself live at 847 Kukuau Street. Our property backs up <br /> to the proposed project number item two. We would ask you to consider the ramifications of <br /> your decisions of the zoning change and how it will impact our neighbors. Be up front, we are <br /> against the project for the fact that it's being developed with low-income families, as well as <br /> seniors. We're not against the senior development with a few caveats, but we are against low- <br /> income, other than the seniors. <br /> 1 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
