And I might say that in terms of quiet enjoyment, being the mother of a number of children who have <br /> gone through teenage years, my neighbors probably wish that I was an office as opposed to the kids <br /> played trumpet and electric guitar, and at least we got rid of the drums. So, you know, I'm just saying <br /> that in a normal neighborhood, if you have someone next door with children you're far more likely to <br /> have noise in the evenings during the period of time that you want quiet than having an office next <br /> door which will be shut down and be very quiet at night. You know, that's just the nature of a <br /> residential life. <br /> KERN: Thank you, Madam Director. Any other questions for the applicant or their representative? <br /> Seeing none you folks may have a seat. Thank you. There is no one signed up from the public to <br /> testify. So with that I'll take a motion. Commissioner Au? <br /> AU: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move to send a favorable recommendation to the Hawaii County <br /> Council for applicant Hawaii Island Board of Realtors (REZ 12-153). <br /> KERN: With conditions? <br /> AU: With conditions. <br /> KERN: Second? <br /> Gonzales: I second the motion. <br /> KERN: Very good. Discussion? Any discussion? I'll throw in my two cents here. I think this does <br /> make sense. It's High Density Urban on the LUPAG Map. There are sound level laws that require <br /> certain decibels at the property line. And the neighbor also has the option to put additional landscaping <br /> there if they so decide, which will be a little bit impact to them. But, I mean, this place, this area of <br /> Hilo is going to be moving in toward further development, without a doubt, over the next 5, 10, 15, 20 <br /> years. So I think this is an alignment with the General Plan. And I'm going to support this. Any other <br /> discussion? Seeing none, we'll take the vote, Jeff. <br /> DARROW: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The motion before us is to send a favorable recommendation <br /> to the Hawaii County Council for this change of zone request. With that I'll take the motion. <br /> Commissioner Au? <br /> AU: Aye. <br /> DARROW: Commissioner Gonzales <br /> GONZALES: Aye. <br /> DARROW: Commissioner Ono? <br /> ONO: Aye. <br /> DARROW: And Mr. Chairman? <br /> 8 <br />
