side. People are really getting an authentic experience staying at this piece of property. Like others were saying picking from the communal garden, getting fresh chickens you know really finding this sense of peace in the country side which is rare to find and that goes along with people who do want to hold events like weddings, or some small special events. I've actually been to numerous weddings here and have had a lot fond memories of amazing events happening here at the ranch. I've never experienced anything going past the ten o'clock mark. Christie always been very respectful of her neighbors in my opinion. It is just truly a special place to be, I think "- - -" in Josh both really care about the historic piece of property and not commercializing it and changing it to be something that really just doesn't fit in Kohala. It's part of Kohala and I think that they really do care and have good intentions for our small town. Like a lot others were saying it does, they do bring our community a lot of business through the guests who stays there. They get to shop at our small little local owned shops. They dined at the small restaurants. So, they definitely bringing in good business to Kohala and I think right now during this time of life the struggle for business in our economy is really crucial right now. I think somebody who's willing let alone wanting to continue a small business like this I think as a community we all should totally stand by them and support them a hundred percent in Christie with what they want to do. I am definitely a hundred percent for the Special permit being granted to Christie Cash. So, I hope that the Commission, all of you guys do see that all of us locals do live in this community really do care about her. Josh and Christie are really part of our community they are dining at our shops they are supporting people they are volunteering. You know I've helped volunteer at their elderly holiday meals which is super fun here. So, it's definitely a special place and for the locals here in town I don't think that any actual real locals would have anything opposing against them. CARR SMITH: Thank you. Your time is up.
