KERN: Good morning Mr. Chair, Zendo Kern, Planning Consultant. I reside on the Big Island <br /> and I'm here representing the Imagire's and we got Deirdre Imagire here as well. Is it okay if I <br /> get started? <br /> RAFFIPIY: Nodded yes. <br /> KERN: Wonderful. Good morning Mr. Chair and the members of the Planning Commission, <br /> Director Yee and all the awesome staff of the Planning Department. Morning, everybody. By <br /> myself here today somewhat perplexed in a couple of ways. I know in the first meeting that we <br /> had it was the first time we did the WebEx hosting in this format and obviously there is a bit of <br /> confusion. Just trying to understand how this was all going down and really myself as well as <br /> the Applicants are extremely grateful for the Planning Commissioners, Mr. Clarkson trying to <br /> support this project and kind of thinking that we had it squared away. The more I thought about <br /> it realized like how it came off possibly at the last meeting as well of that confusion, we thought <br /> we had this squared away and we're coming in asking for some things and I think there is just a <br /> little bit of confusion. <br /> So, what I want to make sure of by no means was that an any type of disrespect at all. We are <br /> actually just here very grateful, hand in hand. Obviously, have a couple of adjustments that we <br /> would like but at the end of the day we really want to see them be able to operate their business. <br /> You know that is the core of it at the end of the day. Don't want again to come off disrespectful <br /> in any of those ways and if we can work it out on those couple adjustments in some way, great. <br /> If we can't, then I think you know we just need to accept it and move forward with what we can <br /> get and again very honored and very grateful for that. <br /> I can talk a little bit about those two elements. So, the whole signage thing not even going to <br /> bring that up again. It is what it is,just leave it alone that's fine. I think one that would be is <br /> Condition 7. Oh, I guess real quick, I guess since Commissioner Au was not here at the last one. <br /> At the last hearing we proposed couple amendments to few of the conditions. Regarding <br /> driveways, signage, and the employee situation. Kind of, I dunno a bit mixed to say the least. <br /> We kind of punted and I gotta say this. Here we are today and to see we are the only ones on <br /> the agenda I want to apologize for that I really want to wrap this up. Kinda, you're like oh gosh <br /> really, we are those folks but, here we are trying to work that out. <br /> So, that's how it went last time. So, we did continue it. Condition 7, what we are potentially <br /> requesting is three (3) employees including the Applicants. So, it gives them a little bit of <br /> flexibility that if one is out and they had maybe you know an assistant in there if Deirdre was <br /> away and they had an assistant in there but it would be a maximum of three (3)with the <br /> Applicants. So, that's that one versus that's a bit of a change from the last one that's one. Then <br /> the driveway access issue has been the one we have been discussing. It would be really great if <br /> we could get the two (2) accesses so they could go and access the back home as their own access <br /> and then the business as the secondary one. If the Commission is not inclined to that and that's a <br /> stop on it then our ultimate request is that there is at least a condition in there that says single <br /> driveway access unless required by the Fire Department. It's that I would not want to have their <br /> hands tied, Those are basically the main two (2) and I'll let Ms. Imagire speak on that a little bit <br /> as well and I can follow up with anything after that. Ms. Imagire. <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> 3 <br />
