there towards the rear, it has kind of got a heavy outline and then you see writings in there that says proposed shop, portable supply, portable office, portable those are little buildings that are there now, squatting there. Couple of them like the office trailer is actually an office trailer that can be towed around. Thats where the site is. Where the real trouble comes in is when you start looking at the entire site development plan where you see cattle pens, you see a horse pen, and you see a residence. I am aware of the inspectors driving out there, Mr. Miranda is aware of it, because we expected it. Its highly visible. When you come from Hilo through Honokaa and you come by the Boys Scout Camp and you see the little pond there, thats what youre going to see, youre going to see the Miranda Ridge. So whats there? On a routine basis, and I think Mr. Miranda has to give his own explanation, if you see a bulldozer or if you see some other heavy machinery like a forklift, youre not seeing Miranda Trucking equipment. Now, it may be arguable that they shouldnt be there in the first place. That doesnt belong to M. W. Miranda Trucking. What belongs to M. W.MirandaTruckingareacoupleofcattletrailers,andthreetrucks.Thatstuff,thatequipment is there to improve the property according to this site plan. He is obligated to put in that large building with the concrete foundation. So thats earthmoving equipment that belongs to others, including the contractors and sub-contractors tractors that are moving that. Maybe they shouldnt be parked there. But like I said it could be arguable that thats not M. W. Miranda Trucking. That is on-site work. Its not part of the base yard, nor is it intended to be the base yard. I notice driving by there, because I live near there, there were two cattle trailers, large cattle trailers, up on top of the hill. It appears to me on that day that that could be considered a violation. We can argue that another day. But on the face of it, the bonafides are that those two cattle trailers because of the mud and the way they were under construction down below in that one-acre area, Miranda made a decision not to take those two large cattle trailers down there cause it might be stuck down there. They dont belong to Miranda Trucking, they belong to other ranchers as we said in our original application; and they were hauling cattle to and from market; but perhaps they should not have been put there. So I hope that answers some of your concerns. I agree with the Planning Commission and counsel for the Planning Commission that perhaps some deadline should be set and some conditions should be set if there is a continuance granted. One self-imposed one, maybe I can spare the Planning Commission of more time, is if youve nd noticed I stated in there, April 2 for the registered surveyors report coming in -. The site plan Ive seen it, but it is not a valid site plan without the registered surveyors part of it. But if you will also notice on our Exhibit A which is the preliminary site plan, the working diagram, the second page of that, you can see where theyve already covered the nine points that are raised in the final site approval application. There are nine little things at the bottom. One of them includes a tax clearance, which is attached hereto as Exhibit B. So you can see that theyre paying their way through. And you can see on the site plan, the notes on the second page, if youre with me, thats Exhibit A, the second page, it says Notes to site plan. Thats straight off the final site plan approval. Im not an expert so I cant tell you if all the specifications in there meettheCountyplans,ortheBuildingCode,oranythinglikethat.Illleavethattotheexperts. But on face value it looks like theyre all within the one-acre parcel and they probably will meet therequirements.Andthatswhythatsthere.Okay? 6EXHIBIT C
