MELROSE: And one is that I think that part of the concept of this is that it does link to Ag, that <br />they do run, they do have two 90-foot greenhouses that they will produce food and materials that <br />will be part of the bakery operations – pumpkins, you know, zucchinis for bread, things that are <br />right there--so that it is a link and consistent use of the agricultural land. It simply takes a small <br />piece of land that was already developed, they’re not developing new property, and utilizing it to <br />channel that kind of material out into the market place. So in a lot of ways it is a consistent <br />operation. I think the identification of new zones, concentrated properties where all uses are <br />allowed, I can understand the need to put those things into a centralized area. But in this case <br />you’re talking about avery specific kind of use and in a way that serves not only their agriculture <br />but others as well in the kitchen itself. <br />DOMINGO: Mr. Chairman?

One is a concern and the other is a letter of opposition, seems to <br />be a complaint. You mentioned that someone complained on the third day, and that was your <br />competitor. What’s the distance between your proposal and your competitor’s operation? <br />MELROSE: About 8 miles, 9 miles. <br />ONO: About 8 miles. Okay. And that individual has a similar program, kind of sales? <br />T. ROBESON: Yeah, they do. They process coffee and they do retail sales; and then they also <br />sell baked goods, sandwiches, those kinds of things. <br />ONO: I see, eight miles away? <br />T. ROBESON: Eight miles away. <br />ONO: Okay. <br />T. ROBESON: And then they do so under a special use permit, similar to what we’re applying <br />for. <br />ONO: I see, okay. The other question I have is you mentioned that your bakery produces or <br />sells about 40 loaves of bread to Hirano? <br />T. ROBESON: Actually to J. Hara. <br />10 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
