BOWMAN: I guess my comment was, being that I live in the country and there are very few places for young people and their families to legally ride and, you know, not only, I think they are ATV’s and dirt bikes, and if you look at many other ranches, they are using ATV’s and dirt bikes for their ranching; so I’m not, you know, lobbying for it or against it, but just to make a comment on that. And I do have one more question about the vehicular maintenance repair shops, equipment maintenance repair shops, general warehousing or storage: Would this be for the ranching operations or as a commercial operation? FUKE: The latter –commercial operation. They already have their ranching operations maintenance and all that stuff within those two existing structures. But it’s not full right now, so they were looking to go into the community and have the community come in to that area on a commercial basis. BOWMAN: Okay, and the uses then would be only those allowed in the agricultural area for those -. FUKE: They would be allowed only, the request is to allow those activities within the existing structures. BOWMAN: Okay. LEITHEAD TODD: They will be commercial in nature and similar to what you’ve approved for other auto repair businesses. What you have here is similar to, I guess, when you were looking at the DeLuz application where there had been an existing business and he was doing something within those existing structures that were farm buildings originally. And so – Maija, if you go back to the photos – if you look at the, especially when the lights go dim, you look at those structures, what they would be hoping to do is that those bays, or those sections, of those buildings that they are currently not using for their ranching operations, would be available for lease to someone who was in a business and wanted to do some automobile repair. And that would perhaps solve some of the problems that we are having in Waimea with the availability of this type of facility because there seems to be a demand in Waimea for some ability to go have your vehicles looked at. GIFFIN: Commissioner Bowman. BOWMAN: Thank you. I do understand that. I just know that some of the concerns with our other applicants was, you know, affordability of the commercial area. Is that, and that area is cement, right? Concrete or -. Blacktop. FUKE:Asphalt. BOWMAN: Asphalt, okay. And, you know, one of my maybe concerns would be the traffic in and out as far as -. Can you tell me about how many bays there would be available for that kind of business? FUKE: I don’t know how many bays per se, but the warehouse right now is 9,000 square feet; so if you assume, like – my understanding in talking with the applicant is that all of the facilities are basically like 50 percent occupied right now – so if the warehouse is about 9,000 square feet, I 8 EXHIBIT A
