TURNER: Our farm is located directly across the street from the South Kona Fruit Stand. Over the <br />years we have witnessed Ken and Beth experience devastation and insurmountable obstacles. <br />They’ve always come through these with grace and just unwavering determination. We, as farmers, <br />would greatly benefit; we would be able to sell our produce, as well as local artisans. I think that <br />these requested changes, if they were allowed, they would benefit everyone – tourist and <br />community as a whole. Thank you. <br />GIFFIN: Thank you. Sheila Archibald. <br />ARCHIBALD: Well, I live with my husband in Kealia Town. I’m a horticulturist and a farmer, <br />and would love to sell fruits and veggies to the Fruit Stand when I have excess. But I have watched <br />them for years working so hard and putting so much money and effort into this endeavor. And I <br />think it’s a great asset for our community and for the economy in that area. And I would just love <br />to see them be successful. <br />GIFFIN: Thank you very much. Commissioners, any questions for the testifiers? Seeing none, <br />thank you very much. Jack Turner and Mike Hendrickson, will you please come forward? <br />(A cell phone rings.) <br />HENDRICKSON: Shall I proceed? <br />GIFFIN: Just a minute, I was just waiting for Commissioner Bowman. <br />BOWMAN: Sorry. <br />GIFFIN: If you – I did not remind you – but if you do have your cell phones on, please turn them <br />off. Thank you. And could you please raise your right hands? Do you swear or affirm to tell the <br />truth on this matter now before the Leeward Hawai‘i County Planning Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: I do. <br />GIFFIN: Thank you. Will you please state your name and your address? <br />HENDRICKSON: My name is Mike Hendrickson. My address is 92-8411 Bamboo Lane, Ocean <br />View, Hawai‘i 96737. <br />GIFFIN: Thank you. And you, sir? <br />TURNER: My name is Jack Turner. I’m at 84 – I don’t even know my address, I’m a P. O. Box <br />guy –I’m directly across the street from South Kona Fruit Stand. <br />GIFFIN: Mr. Hendrickson, could we begin with you, please? <br />HENDRICKSON: All right. I’d just like to say that Ken and Beth are good friends of mine. I <br />know a lot of the farmers in that area. And there is literally no restaurants or anything in between <br />the South Kona Fruit S <br />8 <br />EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
