One of them is the concern about storing hazardous material on site. You mentioned about it's <br /> not going to be nothing more than just the household hazardous materials that we can keep on <br /> site. I want to know what measures you're going to have in place that will guarantee what <br /> they're going to be storing. Will it be exactly what you're saying that it's going to be nothing <br /> more than what is stored at home. The other issue that I see here is the concern allowing this <br /> kind of similar permit it will encourage a spread of this kind of uses within the SLU agricultural <br /> district. <br /> I know that we have some that are identify that they were grandfathered in before the adoption of <br /> the CDP or I forget what it was. But, indeed, we do have some areas that were allowed this kind <br /> of facility. But I just want to know, that's a concern that they put in there, once we allow this <br /> that we will set a precedence that anybody that has these kinds of ideas will be applying for the <br /> same use. And we're going to put ourselves in a predicament, where we kind of give away the <br /> standing that we have. I think that those are the concerns that I have. I encourage business <br /> development in the area because I live in the area. I live in Puna but I'm not very satisfied that <br /> you have addressed these 2 issues effectively. <br /> PIPAN: Thank you Commissioner Raffipiy for your question and comments. As to your first <br /> question relating to hazardous material storage. I believe terms in the lease could effectively <br /> prohibit such storage of hazardous items in the units. There's going to be an onsite caretaker <br /> operator who would be able to not necessarily inspect everyone's boxes of items. But say <br /> someone's trying to bring in drums of oil or agricultural chemicals they would definitely be able <br /> to see that and stop that from happening. So, I believe conditions in the Special Permit and then <br /> conditions in the lease would largely mitigate for that. Short of inspecting everyone's <br /> belongings which I don't think that's really possible by any self-storage facility. <br /> With respect to the question of precedent, I think the Special Permit process is specifically well <br /> suited to not allow for precedent to write a carte blanche or just greenlight any kind of <br /> development. Special Permits are very specific. They're case by case. This one is situated right <br /> next door to established community uses, so I think in that sense it's more well suited for <br /> commercial use right in this location. You're not going to look far field deep in the middle of a <br /> surrounded residentially developed area for this similar use. You have the ability as the <br /> Commission to evaluate very carefully each of these Special Permits for their potential for <br /> adverse impacts. All of the comments that we received from agencies with respect to the <br /> proposal. DOT had no concerns, Fire Department had no concerns they didn't actually respond <br /> in writing, I called them and followed it up. They just pointed me to the County Fire Code. <br /> We're satisfying their requirements in terms of access and water requirements. So, these <br /> Special Permit applications are thoroughly vetted,they're thoroughly researched before they're <br /> even presented to you, and you have the opportunity to require additional conditions to mitigate <br /> for any remaining potential impacts. So, we're more than willing to work with you to develop <br /> these conditions should this permit be approved, thank you. <br /> AU: Thank you, Mr. Pipan for your answer, thank you Commissioner Raffipiy. Do you have <br /> another question Commissioner Raffipiy? <br /> 8 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />
