The Planning Director is recommending a favorable recommendation be sent to the County Council on this application. Since we sent out the background and recommendation report, we received a communication from the applicant's representative on December 30th. So, a letter that you should have received indicating a request to amend Condition K, the Director's Condition K along with some exhibits. Also, in the last day or so we received an addendum to this which added an Exhibit E to that documentation. With that I'm happy to turn the time back over to the Chair and take questions at the appropriate time. AU: Any Commissioners have questions for Mr. Kay? Okay, if not, then we'll just go right into the applicant and the applicant's representatives. Can you please raise your hand so I can swear you in. Okay, do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter in front of the Windward Planning Commission? AGUINALDO: Ido. ARAI: Ido. FUKE: Ido. AU: Okay, please state your name and the town you live in. Before.we do that, have you received the background recommendation from the Planning Department, and do you agree with the Planning Director's recommendations and propose conditions? FUKE: Good morning, Mr. Chairman, and members of the Commission. My name is Sidney Fuke, I'll be assisting the applicant, Commissioner Aguinaldo on this and also Daryn Arai also will be assisting with the presentation and responding to any questions. My residence address is here in Hilo, Hawai`i. Do you want me to start with our presentation? AU: Yes, you can go ahead and start all 3 of you are sworn in so, anybody can speak and please go ahead. FUKE: Yes, thank you very much again Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission. Daryn Arai and I, we were kind of helping Gilbert and his family on this rezoning application. By the way, Gilbert is my favorite banana vendor at the Kino`ole Market. I see him like every Saturday to buy my bananas over there. He actually is a better banana grower than he is a commissioner in my opinion. But, yes, we did receive the staff's background report and recommendation, and we've had a chance to discuss it with Gilbert. He and his family fully concurs with one exception and that's relates to Condition K, and we'll discuss that a little bit later. Gilbert's role, Mr. Aguinaldo's role over here is specifically just to answer technical questions that either Daryn or myself may not be able to answer. He's not in a position,he will not be in a position to present the application or advocate it in one way or another,just because of the sheer appearance of conflict. Possibly if, during the deliberation if he totally recused himself by getting off on both on email and not email, but both the visual as well as the hearing portion I think that might make the Commission maybe a little bit more comfortable.
