GALDONES:Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Tucker, I support the interests of the Main Street PahoaAssociation to try to develop the community as they want it to and situate the businesses where they believe is in the best interest of the community. In this particular case, is there any other area that this venture may be properly located that would be acceptable by Main Street? TUCKER:Well, the simplest answer to that would probably be yes. I am not a realtor sufficiently knowledgeable about all real estate opportunities in the area to identify one th for them at this moment. However, with the example of J&J Self storage on 13 Street in Paradise Park, it maybe that under some similar type of use permission, a similar development could be placed in some other subdivision off Highway -. I do see the potential for a self storage facility to be relatively low impact for an area. If it was deemed to be appropriate off of Kaloli and 23th Street, who knows, it might be deemed to be appropriate in some other location that I couldnt identify right now. I could also see that theres potential in my mind for properties of developments of this sort within the area of the Pahoa Loop. Now the Pahoa is now encompassed by a bypass which encompasses, if I could get up and point -. ALAMEDA:Sure, go ahead. Use the mike, please. TUCKER:This bypass that was created, and well created, thank you very much, incorporates a number of agriculturally zoned properties which I would suggest in the future of the next 20 to 30 years is going to be reducing in its agricultural impact and is very prime for rezoning it to commercial or residential uses through these areas here; and that would be maintaining our commercial corridor through town. Now Im not here to discourage agricultural usesintheseareas,butIthinkthatthetimelineofthesespecificproperties,andtherearea number of them, is on a short timeline for an agricultural future and would be appropriate for rezonings. I dont own them, I wish I did. ALAMEDA:Thank you. Commissioner Galdones, any follow up to that? GALDONES:Yes, Mr. Chair, thank you. ALAMEDA:Sure. GALDONES:Mr. Tucker, you had mentioned some other places that it might be suitable, like you mentioned Kaloli. Are those also residential areas? TUCKER:Well, Kaloli to the best of my knowledge is agriculturally zoned for 1 acre; and it has some type of a zoning approval, which Im not aware of, that allowed a self storage facility to be applied. GALDONES:Are there other businesses within that area on Kaloli? TUCKER:Not to my personal knowledge. 12EXHIBIT B
