other people in that area to try to build more arenas, because if they do they’re simply not going to make the money to recover their investment. Every special permit is reviewed on its individual characteristics. And the things that are nice about special permits is it allows certain uses in an agricultural area. It’s important to know why I believe this request complies with your rules, but I have done that already. Couple of comments, Fire Department if you’ll look at my response to the Fire Department records, it says that we will comply fully with any requirement of the Fire Code. So the catchment system must be sized and must be established in a manner that will meet with the requirements of the Fire Department. There’s a condition that says we will comply with all State, County and Federal regulations. That includes Liquor, Fire, Police, etc. I do take issue with the comment from the Police Department. When I read the Police Department’s comments, and in my discussion with them, what the statement fully says is that the type of special event is too broad; and the restrictions to the type of activity, nonuse or sale of alcohol, I take that to mean not going to use it or you are going to use it.. Says should be specified. Okay? So what the Police Department seems to me saying to me is we need more information about the events. It does not mean to me, I do not read this comment as saying we the Police Department are telling you no alcohol. All right? So I guess I disagree with that characterization. This is why we put, suggested the condition that we work with the Police Department to establish the type of event, the types of things that would occur at the event and the type of security that we should have to provide or that the, whoever is putting the event on would have to provide in order to address their concerns. So we’re agreeing with the Police Department’s statement that there needs to be more specificity; and that’s what we’re trying to do with not only the 12 conditions that the County proposed but the additional conditions that we propose. Other than that, I think that addresses the concerns that I had. But I hope that you would not think that I’m trying to write a deceptive application, because frankly the amount of money I would make off this application would not amount to much if this ended my career if I sat here and distorted the truth to you, or to any other agency, or to any regulator. I would not do that. WOODWARD: All right, thank you. Do we have any questions for Mr. Mooers? B. ANDERSON: Can I add one thing on this, commentS, please? WOODWARD: Sure. B. ANDERSON: I’m sorry. WOODWARD: Sure, go ahead. B. ANDERSON: Alcohol is a touchy subject. The condition that we work with the Planning Department on was to put a limit of 10 o’clock on all events. And the sole purpose of the 10 o’clock was to prevent any, we felt anything beyond 10 o’clock becomes different, it’s not social drinking. It makes it more serious. And that’s why, you know, they talk about our past. We’ve only had, I think, two functions there – a baby luau and a graduation party, Michelle Miranda and Jimmy Kee. But, you know, beer and -, I think was served at those parties. But we cut it off at 10 o’clock so nobody gets drunk, everyone goes home. And in the future there will be security. That’s how we tried to address it. WOODWARD: Okay, thank you. Mr. Gonzales. 13 EXHIBIT D
