designated parking area. And my question is whether or not the parking as it exists today is the same as in that plan, or is close to. DARROW: Well, at this point since 1994, as the applicant’s representative had stated, there has been an expansion of the facility of 500 square feet. So at that -. WOODWARD: Sorry, I’m asking about the parking area. DARROW: Previously it was, when they came in in 1994 it was reviewed under plan approval for that particular project, without the expansion, and including the parking. IWASHITA: Okay, let me try rephrase my question. We have a site plan for the existing parking today. Right. My question is simply whether or not that existing parking area is larger than the parking area approved in the 1994 site plan, just the parking. The other stuff I’m not really asking about now.

If that’s true I’m inclined to agree with Mr. Yeh. DARROW: That would be true if there was no expansion of the facility. Whenever there’s an expansion of a facility, they have to come back in for plan approval. IWASHITA: So you’re talking about the 500 square feet? DARROW: Correct. LEITHEAD TODD: Mr. Chairman? WOODWARD: Planning Director. LEITHEAD TODD: I have a couple of questions; and I regret that I’ve been preoccupied with the State Legislature so did not pay as much attention to this as perhaps I should have. In the 1994 plan approval I see what we basically approved was a fruit stand that was going to offer exotic fruits and island-made health snacks; and then the health snacks offered were listed, things like poha jam provided by Puukapu Farms, and health cookies and bars.
