The applicant submitted a question to us, I didn't make it as part of our packet, but he just <br /> wanted to indicate that also as part of the distilling operation there may be a roasting of coffee on <br /> the premises within the warehouse area. We indicated back that would be outright permitted <br /> under the Agricultural zoning on the property, so it wasn't necessary to add it in as a condition of <br /> approval or anything like that. <br /> With that I'd be happy to answer any questions that the Commission may have on this project. <br /> UNGER: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions? <br /> CARR SMITH: I did have one. Am I on, Noriko? <br /> UNGER: You're on. <br /> CARR SMITH: Okay. I was just curious about the growing area that's outside of the Special <br /> Permit area. Is that typical to have something outside of the area that's a part of the Special <br /> Permit? <br /> KAY: It's, the growing area is agriculturally related and it will be outright permitted on the State <br /> Land Use Agricultural designation and the zoning. They are just letting us know kind of that that <br /> will be part of the component. So they wouldn't need a Special Permit for growing there. This <br /> is an old, I believe, orchid growing operation, so they're just utilizing the existing infrastructure <br /> for growing crops for the distillery. <br /> CARR SMITH: Okay, that's what I thought. Just wanted to confirm. Thank you. <br /> KAY: Okay, thank you. <br /> YATES: This is, you said, off of Kuakini Highway? <br /> KAY: Correct. <br /> YATES: And what's across the street from it? <br /> KAY: That would be the Kona Sea Villas Condominium. <br /> YATES: So, would this impact traffic in that area? <br /> KAY: So there is a discussion of traffic in the application in our, in our analysis. Most of the <br /> traffic would be controlled through, what was represented is most of the traffic would be off <br /> peak hours and would be controlled through setting the appointments for the tours. Other traffic <br /> associated would be with the distillery operation and some of the agricultural operations. I did <br /> check with Public Works because they had a comment letter about access conforming and site <br /> distance issues and things like that. There is an existing permitted commercial driveway access <br /> to the property. So the clarification with Public Works is any additional accesses would need to <br /> 4 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
