facilities. But, on the other hand, if it's purely like on a take-out basis like what you see down right here at the Bay Front area, there is no like restroom requirement except for the employees. And, in this situation over here, the employees live right next door, so. AU: Okay, I guess more my question is, is the Applicant going to allow people to park there that are going down to the valley, because that is going to tie up parking and FUKE: Oh, no AU: their facility. FUKE: It's purely, it's exclusively for—it's not going to be a commercial parking lot. It's exclusively for patrons that will frequent the lunch wagon. AU: Okay, thank you. CLARKSON: Any further questions for Mr. Fuke from the Commission? If not, thank you. FUKE: Thank you. CLARKSON: At this time, we will take public testimony. We have four testifiers who have signed up. Will Dwight Vicente, Darde Gamayo, Valerie Poindexter, and `I`ini Kahakalau please come forward? Please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Commission today? GAMAYO/POINDEXTER/KAHAKALAU: Yes/I do. VICENTE: [No response.] CLARKSON: Thank you. We'll start to my left, your right, and please introduce yourself. Use the microphone when you are speaking, and proceed with your testimony. We'll give everybody three minutes. KAHAKALAU: Aloha mai kakou. My name is `I`ini Kahakalau. I'm speaking on behalf of the Kahakalau `ohana that has lived at Kukuihaele for the last 26 years now. We are two doors down from Aunty Jolene, and three doors down from the proposed area, so this is like `ohana to me, and I'm very excited for this project: (A) So, I don't have to cook sometimes! I can just go. You know, we are a very rural community, but we are basically all `ohana. Literally and, of course, in that bigger sense, we also know how to live off the land, and Aunty Jolene has always done a great job in using food from the `aina, and it gives opportunities for even other farmers who share what they may have overflow ofulu, all that kind, holo, all that kind of stuff. You know, a lot of people will be able to eat from here, but one thing that I'm also excited about is that Kukuihaele is predominantly a village full of kupuna, and there aren't too much keiki in this area anymore, not too much children, and so, having an opportunity for them to grab something to eat, having somebody run food to them, you know, it's to me, it makes me feel good knowing that our kupuna will be fed and have something to eat and that it will be ai pono. It'd be healthy EXHIBIT B 6
