a fair decision so just want to put that out for the record. So, next person, Commissioner <br /> Aguinaldo go ahead. <br /> AGUINALDO: I myself, Mr. Chair and also what Tom indicated I got mixed feelings for the <br /> applicant great ideas you are bringing forward and looking overall one of our Commissioners, <br /> Mr. Lin is engagement. We cannot always say, aw' they know my number, they know this. <br /> Basically, what we're talking about it's not on the `Ainaloa side, it's on the Orchid Land side of <br /> the property I'm assuming this development. I myself see that the postal side of things, because <br /> of growth in that area as well. It's a need, it's important for mail but I got mixed feelings, as <br /> well as we will set a precedence of like a storage facility. Who's to say Hawaiian Acres, Fern <br /> Acres all of the above will indicate the same thing right, you guys had approved them. Great <br /> ideas. Again, I'm like Tom. I think the postal is crucial because there are long lines, and it's the <br /> start if something like that I think it's great. But again, it's within the Puna Community <br /> Development Plan is what we got to obey and follow and what our Planning has set forth on the <br /> rules in laws and regulations that we got to obey and follow. That's all I get to say. <br /> AU: Thank you, Commissioner Aguinaldo. Any other Commissioners? Oh, Commissioner <br /> Replogle? <br /> REPLOGLE: I'm personally in favor of the idea of the mail, the postal service, and if it could be <br /> coupled with something more acceptable than self-storage, it may be able to fit into the Special <br /> request. But there's no way you can guarantee what's going to be in those storage facilities and <br /> the idea that zoning and this regulation on the storage facilities is for the public safety. I can't <br /> see us deviating from that one. That's my opinion, thank you. <br /> AU: Thank you Commissioner Replogle. Commissioner Clarkson? <br /> CLARKSON: Yeah, related to the public safety aspect about of it, I don't think Mr. Darrow <br /> actually address whether there had been a history of discoveries of hazardous materials in self- <br /> storage facilities or if he did, I'm sorry, I must have missed it. Could you address that during this <br /> discussion, please. <br /> DARROW: Sure, I'm not aware of any but, again, the issue of my understanding is the reason <br /> why self-storage facilities are only located in the industrial zone areas is because of the potential <br /> hazards of storage materials within those facilities. But I'm not personally aware, I think the Fire <br /> Department would have better knowledge of those kind of issues. <br /> CLARKSON: Thank you. I just like to continue, of all of the commercial quasi-industrial <br /> whatever you want to call it activities. I mean compared to a convenience store this kind of <br /> operation seems pretty quiet,pretty benign really from a traffic sound. Even a visual aspect <br /> there's a two-story building proposed, but the rest of them are pretty low-rise buildings. On the <br /> other hand, I have to defer to the judgment of the Planning Department on this one. So, I'm <br /> going to vote in favor of the motion, although I have a hard time figuring out what kind of <br /> Special Use permit would ever be allowed in a situation based on the Planning Department's <br /> analysis of this case and this application. Maybe they'll be able to work with the applicant and <br /> 14 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />
