property is rezoned, anything that is permissible in that zone could be developed. And you all have mentioned the lack of a benefit to the community. Are there kinds of commercial enterprises that would be acceptable in this location? I'm just thinking of a store, a post office. What are the kinds of things that you would find acceptable rather than the proposed vacation rental? HAWK: I could answer that Mr. Clarkson and thank you for the question. Anything but a short- term vacation rental is the short answer. Our community could use a veterinarian, a pharmacy, a doctor's clinic. We have many older residents here who now have to travel all the way down to Kea`au or down to Ka`u for their medical care. We could use a gathering area, an art bookstore, coffee shop that would be a place where the community could come together. A gourmet store or a produce market. The list goes on, it's basically anything that would be allowable in a commercial district, perhaps not a Starbucks or a 7-11. But something that is in line with the look and feel and historic nature of our village and that our community could come, all of us here the several thousand that live up here could come and take part in. JACKSON: Chair, I think— REPLOGLE: Okay. JACKSON: — she froze. REPLOGLE: We lost her. JACKSON: Yeah. REPLOGLE: Okay. HAWK: Which would result in REPLOGE: Oh, she's back. HAWK: Yeah, I froze there for a minute. Am I here? REPLOGLE: Yes,you're here again. HAWK: Okay sorry, did you not catch that or was there a question? CLARKSON: I think I got the gist of your response. So, thank you for that. HAWK: If I might just add Sir. The nature of the process for this issue to come before the community just the way it's designed with these three-by-three sign nailed to a mature `ohi`a tree, I might add. The community needs to have more input and I understand that we do have future opportunities, but before that precious residential lot is changed to commercial if it is changed. I think we really need to have More consensus on what goes in there. Thard,-you. 4 EXHIBIT A(DRAFT)
