that. No. 1, this will directly service the agricultural community and the non-ag Puna community in that it is reasonable that as farms pick up feed for their livestock and fertilizer for their crops, we’ll use some examples, that they may at the same time want to consult a vet, veterinarian. Let’s say if there was a veterinarian that was a professional in the residence, that’s reasonable and unusual. So it meets A. And it’s not contrary to the effectiveness or the objectives of Chapter 105. Let’s say, for example, it was an accountant. So the issue here is you really cannot separate commercial interest and agricultural interests because for the entirety of human kind agriculture is commercial. Without agriculture we have no commercial interests. So as far as the professional buildings go it is a conve-, and again they argued that it’s not a convenience. I would argue that it would be because if you’re picking up your feed, you’re picking up food for your livestock, you’re picking up your fertilizer for your crops, at the same time you’re consulting with your accountant about hopefully the profits you’re making to better the entire island. No. 2 is that, again, the commercial interest and agricultural interests are tied together. And then the next point would be that we are facing the worst economy since the Great Depression if not sliding into one. So I would hope that this Commission would, would support, especially on a close call like this when we’re talking feet. We’re talking from here to where my car is parked, as far as distances. So it’s a really extremely close call on this. And the amount of jobs may not be hundreds but in this economy any time we can generate 5, 10, 15 jobs, and well- paying if they are in a professional building working for a vet, a doctor, an accountant, I think that we should encourage this at this time, in the country’s economic crisis. And then my fourth point would be at one time there was a farmer’s market that was across the street and -- although I can see it clearly has an agricultural purpose because the farmers come to sell their products -- if any of you, and I know most of you have been to the farmers market, there’s a lot of retail things going on there that they’re not even proposing to do with this property. They’re proposing to have a professional space and a certified kitchen. Then again I’ve already covered the convenience type of commercial activities that could go there. And as far as on page 9, part (g), it’s not, I would say that it’s really, I don’t know if it is contrary to the General Plan or the Community Development Plan because I don’t know much about it. But it’s a General Plan and it should encourage in this economic climate the creation of jobs. And then finally as far as the certified kitchen goes, it does, as other people testified, have a direct agricultural benefit because the fishermen come off down from Pohoiki, they have their fish, they need somewhere to process it. Farmers have, there’s no doubt that that has an agricultural benefit. So I’ll take any of your questions. Thank you. WATANABE: Any questions? Mr. Domingo. 11 EXHIBIT B
