i i i REPLOGLE: Anything further? Anybody else comments? Ms. Galimba? GALIMBA: Well, I appreciate the comments made by my fellow Commissioners. I will be voting against it because I think we're sort of at an inflection point and perhaps this wasn't the case when these Community Development Plans were made. In which I think people in our communities have become much more sensitive to the impact of tourism basically on our communities. So, I think I want to honor that sentiment, so I will be voting against it still, but you know beforehand what my reasons are. REPLOGLE: Yes, Mr. Aguinaldo. AGUINALDO: I would like to also say that my reasoning for voting for this is based upon zoning first. It's just zoning, and I appreciate the applicant coming forward and going the extra mile which, he didn't have to. Like what was said he didn't have to and, but 1--also appreciate, yes, the community has to voice their concerns as well,and about the native `6hi`a trees and so forth which is truly understandable. Pertaining to that matter, but my vote decision was based upon when I did ask Eric that it falls within, I just see that Page 136 it falls within the preliminary Volcano Community Village Center boundary of what is he trying to achieve. Again, if this goes forward the applicant has to abide by all the rules and requirements necessary that is being said when I say said it's being said as stated on paper today and that's my reasoning. You know Raja I just like to share also is the integrity and the honesty of anyone that must uphold when achieving and getting something because it affects your surrounding neighbors. It could be me. What they said about pono is being good'and being fair and being one within your community. For that reason, my decision because it falls within the dashed line it's within the Puna Community Development Plan. And that's what I just had to share today, thank you. REPLOGLE: Thank you Mr. Aguinaldo. Anything else? Yes, Mr. Raffipiy. RAFFIPIY: Just one question before I make my comment. Staff, so let me just make sure I understand this before I make a comment. So, the landowner has an option,he can decide to let's say if these things don't go thru,he can decide to just proceed with a plan, a hosted vacation rentals and he doesn't have to comply, as long as he's hosting it, he doesn't have to comply with any other conditions, right? So, I understand. COOK: Yes, Commissioner Raffipiy that's correct. Right now, we currently do not have laws are codes in place that are governing the operation of hosted rentals. Because his State Land Use is urban, it does not prevent him from doing a hosted rental. If his State Land Use had been agricultural, it would be disallowed but because of the designations the property does hold whether or not he does receive the Change of Zone he would be eligible to then operate a hosted rental on that property. RAFFIPIY: Okay, very good, thank you that answered my question. My comment on this is that as much as I really understand the plight of the of the neighbors and the community around. I'm kind of torn. I really wanted to support community members,but at the same time, I feel like if I support the community members but staying down then the property owner he can come in and just do everything that the community members wanted to uphold. So, at least if we 14 EXHIBIT B(DRAFT)
