In regards to the development of the lunch wagon, they will have to get approvals through the
<br />Department of Health to establish that. They are going to provide a copy of the DOH support
<br />kitchen approval. A lunch truck requires a support kitchen for greywater, for storage for
<br />cleaning, and so they have, the Applicant has established a support kitchen in the nearby town,
<br />and it appears to be accepted, so as soon as DOH approves of that, we would, we would like to
<br />see that prior to the issuance of Final Plan Approval just to ensure that DOH has time to review
<br />the project.
<br />From within our own Department, there was a condition about signage to ensure that because
<br />this area here is not owned by the Applicant, that it doesn't turn into a parking area. That
<br />parking is up on the parcel itself, so we're going to ask, we asked that signage be in place just to
<br />make sure that the community doesn't get kind of overrun right along that corner. And, I think I
<br />put in, and it's reallyI put in a large picture of the entiresorry, the computer is, there we
<br />go—okay, so this is standing across the street looking at the project parcel. Just to kind of show
<br />you that it's right on a turn, the entrance over here. You know, here would be the entrance,
<br />there, so we'd really like to restrict any parking right along that area. Again, it's not part of their
<br />parcel so that seems logical.
<br />CLARKSON: Thank you. Any further questions for staff? If not, will the Applicant or their
<br />representative please come forward? Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell
<br />the truth on this matter before the Planning Commission today?
<br />FUKE: Yes—excuse me, yes I do.
<br />CLARKSON: Please introduce yourself, and then proceed with your testimony.
<br />FUKE: Sure, good morning, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission. My name is
<br />Sidney Fuke. I'm here today really like helping out a the Applicant is a good friend of my, the
<br />former Councilmember, Takashi Domingo, and that's the sister-in-law and her husband. So, I
<br />was asked to kind of, kind of see if I could, to do some kokua and that's the reason why I'm over
<br />here.
<br />Along the way, I kind of learned a lot about lunch wagons. You know, we visited lunch wagons
<br />all over, you know, the island. There's one right down the street over here, down in the
<br />industrial area, and as the staff kind of pointed out, it seems to like, you know, the governing you
<br />know entities really like Department of Health, you know, largely from a standpoint in terms of
<br />wastewater system, fire suppression, so on and so forth. And, that's why the staff had wisely
<br />recommended that making sure that there is that certification before the Planning Department
<br />would, you know, so certify its use.
<br />I've had a chance to discuss the application and the proposed conditions with the Applicant, Earl
<br />and Jolene Lanning, and they found them to be acceptable. I'd like to also kind of note that they
<br />are life-long farmers of Waipi`o Valley, and their whole intent and they live right next door to
<br />where their proposed lunch wagon is going to be but they are life-long residents of that area,
<br />and they are farmers. So, and Jolene, Mrs. Lanning, she had a restaurant in Honoka`a a number
