And speaking of that aroma of that freshly baked bread, I grew up with that. My, one of my friends, in fact their parents had a Portuguese oven in the back and we used to always go over and play, and they used to give us those fresh baked bread. I can still remember that. And I know what you mean, so -. But you know, and I’m not expecting them to go through any further hoops or hurdles to get this permit. It’s just a matter of waiting, yeah, waiting for a short while. What I’d like to see, because, again, as I’ve stated, the Community Development Plan, I don’t know if it ever mentions an approach through a special permit. You know, right now we’re considering this. And it’s, as I stated it’s outside of the commercial center area. So, interpretation is that it’s not supposed to be permitted. Yeah? And that’s law already because it’s in the ordinance. But what I’d like to see if possible, that there is a -. KERN: We have more testifiers, too, yeah? DOMINGO: Oh, okay. KERN: Actually, no, there’s four more now. DOMINGO: Okay. I’ll continue afterwards. KERN: Thank you, Commissioner Domingo. Are there are any direct questions for these testifiers? Seeing none, thank you all very much. You may have a seat. Okay, we’ve got four more, seven in total. Russell Nakao, Jeffrey Hara, I’m not going to do very well on this one, Jededah (phonetic) Kay? KAY: Jedediah. KERN: Jedediah. Told you I wasn’t going to do it well. And Jason Sanborn. PUBLIC: Mr. Chairman? KERN: Yes. PUBLIC: Jeff Hara has got a call that his daughter is sick and he had to leave. KERN: Okay. Very good, thank you for that. Okay, I’ll get all of you to raise your hand. Do you swear to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS: I do. KERN: Very good. And you can go in the order in which you were called. So starting with Russell Nakao; and name and address and you may begin. NAKAO: Okay. I’m Russell Nakao and I live at 18-1695 Volcano Highway, which is about 120 feet from the proposed bakery. And I’m sure you all got my letter about the concerns of, you know, having a quiet time at night; and I’d wish you consider that. The other concernthat I have is if a retail bakery is allowed in an Agricultural zone would it affect my land taxes. You know, I hear a lot of different things about, you know, commercial development and then the neighboring property gets reevaluated and their taxes go up and all that kind of stuff. So I just want to make sure because I’m on a limited income and my wife always tells me that I don’t make “blanks” so that I have to, you know, address these concerns. 21 EXHIBIT A
