was granted in August 2005 and the equipment just sits there for months and months after that. Now Mr. Miranda has an equipment moving business. We want him to move the equipment out of site. We also do not want to have a debate over thats not my bulldozer, thats somebody elses bulldozer. You know, it takes time to, when we see a bulldozer up there and we have a special permit that says youre supposed to have all the equipment stored in a one acre area that is supposed to be set out by metes and bounds in this low area of the property, my inspector, you know, were going to keep on this. And hes going to issue a citation if you have equipment; and we dont want to have this thing come back from Mr. Miranda, oh, that wasnt one of my bulldozers, that was somebody elses bulldozer. He can move the stuff to the low point of the property. Im a little bit concerned about what I hear though, one more thing I hear. Okay? Because he had a permit that was limited to six semi-trailers, like he has this, he presented a small hauling operation that was in business to help the agricultural interests in the area. Now he has, and there isaspecificconditionaboutnotbeingasubcontractor,likeageneralcontractorsbaseyard where lots of other people store their equipment on his property. Okay? Now I hear a 30,000 square foot building? What is that for? Thats almost an acre under roof. Thats a huge building. Whats that for? RODRIGUES:I could be mistaken as to the size, I know its a large building. Let me look at the notes, because thats where it is. Its in Exhibit A, its on the notes of the size of that building. I will address each of your concerns. Lets see, proposed, Im sorry 100 by 90. I was wrong. I kept saying 300 by 100; 100 by 90, thats what hes talking about. So its a smaller shop. But its still large. When you see it on the ground, it looks huge to me, when I looked at the slab. All right. Did you have anything more before I respond to your question? YUEN:No. RODRIGUES:Okay. My primary job is a defense attorney in criminal cases. This is a good one for me. But I can say this, as a property owner Mr. Miranda has got to be responsible for the whole property, not just one acre but all of it. And it was clear that in August 05 hearing it was a close call as to whether he would get a special permit; and I think that the Commission did not exactly bend over backwards. But they gave him the benefit of the doubt to go ahead based on community input and a lot of other things. I think also that there can be little doubt that there have been violations of the good faith that was entrusted to the project. Some have been caught by community members, some of them noticed by government officials. Theyre done. I have to leave the explanation to Mr. Miranda. But I will say this, Im intimately familiar with that property. Some of the business decisions that went into asking for that permit, the Commission has the background, the Parker Ranch thing, the West Hawaii thing, the no where else to go thing. That property has proven to be extremely difficult to work in. You heard the testimony from Mr. Tulang about the geographical conditions there, the geological conditions there. Its no wonder that nobody wants it because its really tough. So on behalf of my client I would say everything is going to take three times as long, three times as much, that does not necessarily excuse parking outside the one acre. Park it somewhere else. Perhaps Mr. Miranda understands that, I dont know; and I cant speak for him. But he did want to be here today, he did want to answer that question in more detail. It is a valid question. No one can challenge that, Mr. Yuen. 9EXHIBIT C
