WATANABE: Go head. <br />HYATT: Just get, you know, more direction. Cause I’ve already stated what we <br />wanted to in the initial application. <br />WATANABE: Okay, okay, very good. Fellow Commissioners, do we have any -? <br />ALAMEDA: I have a question. Mr. Chair, just to clarify? <br />WATANABE: Yes. Okay, Mr. Alameda. <br />ALAMEDA: Okay. So who’s the applicant and who’s the applicant’s representative? <br />QUINN: Mona Lisa and myself would be the applicant. <br />HYATT: We’re the applicant. <br />QUINN: Yeah. <br />ALAMEDA: Oh, okay. <br />QUINN: Actually it’s a corporation, sir. The corporation, there are four principals. <br /> It’s Mona, and her husband, myself, and my wife. Those are the principal corporate owners. <br />ALAMEDA: Okay. <br />QUINN: And then we have hired Jennifer here to help us and assist us along this <br />process because we are unfamiliar with how to go about this. So she has been gracious enough <br />and kind enough to help our family pursue this. So if I’m talking too much just let me know. <br />WATANABE: No, no, no. You’re doing fine. <br />QUINN: Nine, for ten years -. I have to bring it to your folks attention that for ten <br />years we’ve been in business, not nine years. The business is run by Pahoa High School <br />graduates that graduated in the area. It is a family owned and operated business. Our intentions <br />were to just continue what we are doing now, expand our existing warehouse so we could have <br />storage space. People had inquired with us if we were going to have commercial space. So we <br />told them, well, we could try to get permission to do this. So the kitchen was something that <br />people in the community had asked us to get, in helping them do fund-raising, packaging their <br />produce in a certified kitchen, bringing their fish from the aquaculture markets to the kitchen to <br />package and sell to the stores. So all those ideas were brought to us by the community. Now <br />Erik Birkholm from Aina Hawaii Realty, he’s the gentleman that helped us get to where we are <br />now, and also he was going to try and help us with renting the residence which neither Mona or <br />myself reside in right now. So the house just sits vacant. <br />6 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
