IWASHITA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. There’s this letter of concern about Kamaee Road. Do you have any input on that? MIKKELSON: Yes, I do. I do. That, again, is associated with the neighboring endeavor. They had the World Botanical Gardens; and since the zipline is an approved use, they decided to put one in as well. And theirs is up and running. Ours is not yet. And the traffic concerns are on-going concerns. They are parking on the road from what I understand. I’ve had some people who have called me asked me about it and wondered if it was associated with us. We have ample parking off-road, so it’ll never be that issue. IWASHITA: Can you just sort of show me what the relationship is? Cause I have a, I’m looking at the map and I’m having a hard time figuring it out. DARROW: Unfortunately, I apologize for the darkness of the map. We’ll try to see if we can help that -. The subject property is in this area. It’s my understanding that Kamaee Road goes out to the north, on the property to the north and then travels on up. Is that correct? MIKKELSON: Yes. DARROW: Yeah, and so the road that the person is speaking to is actually on an adjacent parcel to the south. MIKKELSON: If I could since it’s so large, while the map is up and the lights are out? WOODWARD: Sure. MIKKELSON: If you look at the map and you see a little finger of land sticking down from the bottom to the Mamalahoa Highway, that is the affected portion for the special permit. WOODWARD: Okay, thank you. One other question I might have while we have you here, I know that you submitted a letter asking for revision or elimination of certain conditions; and I believe the Planning Director has given that, her response to Jeff. Did you want to go over what the potential revisions for the conditions would be? th DARROW: Sure. In looking at Mr. Carlile’s letter submitted January 4 or dated January 4, 2010, page 2, he has some concerns regarding certain conditions. The second paragraph he addresses Condition No. 6. If we look at our conditions, I believe that is the condition that limits the amount of people per day on the property. It has a maximum total of 80 visitors per day. We are, the Planning Director is recommending that instead of having it on a daily, a limit on the daily amount that we use the amount that we use for a yearly amount which is 30,000 visitors. The 80 amount is 365 divided by 30,000. So we come up with that figure. But in this, Mr. Carlile’s concern is that on certain days he may have more visitors than that, on other days he’ll have less. So he wanted to ask that it just be the yearly figure which would be 30,000. So we would, the Planning Director would be agreeable to changing that to allow 30,000 visitors per year maximum total. 5 EXHIBIT B
