given that there will be. If this business is successful, there'll be an increase of traffic and I mean you could almost say that I would think that the parking lot would be an expansion of the footprint, maybe technically not. But this would be something different on the lot already so, I probably would want to see the curb, gutter, and sidewalk condition remain. Thanks. AU: Thank you, Commissioner Galimba. Commissioner Balog? BALOG: I'm going to actually concur with Commissioner Galimba. I feel that Condition K should be upheld for the property if we approve the change for commercial. I think it is warranted in this case, despite the extra costs to that. Thanks. AU: Commissioner Lin? LIN: Yeah, so my comment would be if in the future when there is going to be putting in like the driveway and parking lot you don't know what the engineers is going to say yet. If you do the curb, gutter now the engineer might say, well, now that you put in the parking lot you might need additional drainage, you might need more work done on the properties. So, my thought processes,you might as well wait until you know what all the work that you need to get done on the property before doing anything now. Because the Plan Approval is going to dictate a lot of stuff that you have to do. AU: Thank you, Commissioner Lin. I understand your thinking, but I do have to support Commissioner Galimba and Commissioner Balog on their thoughts as well. I've spent many, many hours at that gym. I've coached basketball there, I played basketball there many, many hours in the late night and early mornings, basketball tournaments, volleyball tournaments. There's a school back there. That road is very, very, very busy. It's a very busy road. Kids are going up and down that road all hours of the day, people are walking up and down that road all hours of the day. We need curb, gutter, and sidewalks on that road to make it safe for the pedestrians, to keep them safe from vehicular traffic,to keep our cars when you're driving down that road on a correct path and not to deviate from it. I think it's important and I appreciate Mister and Misses Palmer to come down and establish a business that is needed in Puna. I lived in Puna, I lived in that area for many, many years in HPP, and we need businesses like this. We need people like yourselves to come in and provide the residents of Puna and Kea`au things like that and services, so I applaud you for that. But I think it's very important to keep that curb, gutter, and sidewalk. That's a very busy road, and I hope you know moving forward, you still will bring in your business because your business is a niche, and we need it. That's just my thoughts. I'd like to hear more thoughts from other Commissioners, if not we can go ahead and vote. Okay, if there's no more discussions. Can I ask staff a question? So, I'm looking at Mr. Pipan's email with the proposed language to Condition K. And by striking out that line prior to obtaining certificate of occupancy. Can you just explain to me in normal terms? Mr. and Mrs. Palmer are allowed to start their business, do whatever they need to do to start their business and they can carry on with their appliance business and they still don't have to do adjustments to the roadway. Is that how it is c plais.ccl? 10 EXHIBIT B (DRAFT)
