of years ago, and I think people remember that good beef stew. It's right on the corner of, I forget, right on that main road over there and that intersection. But, anyway, like it's, the whole idea is to find better use for their products that they grow in the valley, you know, whether it's the poi, the taro rather, the ong choi, the warabi, and so her being naturally like an excellent cook, you know, just trying to find better ways to utilize their crops in addition to selling them at the farmers' market and other outlets. So, I think that, you know, like there was a question about like sight distance. I think that what was really telling was one of the photos that you had there, you know, as you exit out onto the Kukuihaele Road or the main highway, I think you saw the sign that the speed limit there was 15 miles an hour. I think that as you enter into the Kukuihaele Village, it's in a residential area, so the standard residential speed zone would be 25 miles an hour. You have a condition that the staff is recommending which suggests that, which mandates rather that like a sight distance and use analysis be done, and I think that even if Department of [Public] Works is stating that, you know, they are not really concerned about like the vegetation on the property, I think that when you go through kind of like a preliminary site analysis, if it shows that the vegetation on the subject property has to be, you know, cleared so as to provide better sight distance, especially for cars exiting the property and getting onto the Kukuihaele Road, I think that's going to have to be done. But, at this point in time, we don't know yet, because that so-called technical studies have not been done, but it will be done as a condition of the approval, if the Planning Commission approves the request. So, other than that, you know, there are like a number of peopleI'm glad to be here that, for once to have like a lot of people supporting the project over here unlike other projects that I've worked on. So, with that, if there is any other questions, then I'd be more than happy to answer. AU: Mr. Chair, question. Mr. Fuke, I fully support this project. I was there just recently, and we need things like that down there. My concern, though, is parking. Can you address that situation, because, you know, people park all along the side of the road, and during peak hours, there's cars going all the way up there, and I'm assuming that cars will be parking on the facility FUKE: On the property, correct AU: on the property for the people going down to the lookout, so can you justI guess my question to you is have you addressed that with the Applicant? FUKE: Yes, there, you know, the property is more like 13,000 square feet in size, and so, all they are going to do is put like a lunch wagon and there is like ample room, you know, on the property itself. The staff is also recommending that no parking be allowed on the easement that leads to the property, but just the basic property itself is the, you know, the aerial would show. There's a lot of, there's ample room on the property. I kind of wanted to note also that Department of Health, again, trying to study a little bit further on lunch wagons, they say that, you know, if you're going to, if it's considered like a restaurant where you have facilities where people sit and eat and, you know, do their thing, then there is a mandate for like restroom EXHIBIT B 5
