WOODWARD: The 235 and 045? KERN: Yes, 235 degrees and 045 degrees. COTTLE: Thank you. WOODWARD: Okay. Is that acceptable to Commissioner Domingo? DOMINGO: You know, before I respond into it, and I sense that probably one of the primary issues concerning this application aside from this being used as a farmers market is that of noise. And, you know, when I consider the fact that the trade winds blow from Honokaa towards the Kohala Mountains farther west, north-west, and it blows away from the residence where Ms. Frederick lives, and that the residence in itself is about 1200 feet away, probably quarter mile away from the facility, I don’t think this should be at all an issue. Because, you know, the applicant also notes, I note here that the noise level during any country market or special event shall comply with the State Department of Health. So there is that regulation with regards to the noise. WOODWARD: Okay. Are you accepting the, what they’re doing is putting in the coordinates as far as where the speakers will be, will not be directed. Is that acceptable to you-? KERN: Were you commenting that there shall be no definite -? DOMINGO: Well, I will yield to the judgment of those who use the facility at that particular time. And should there be any noise level that’s beyond acceptable limit surely there will be stop to it. WOODWARD: Right. Well, that’s basically what this is saying. So you’re, cause you seconded the motion, you’re accepting the conditions that Mr. Mooers has stated with the coordinates put in to Condition 9, is that correct? DOMINGO: If it’s same same I approve. WOODWARD: Right, that’s what that is. Okay, anybody else have any objection to that now? Okay. Now it’s open for discussion. Commissioner Kern. KERN: All right, thank you. Yeah, it’s really tough times right now and I think it is about this small business people that maybe they make their money off of growing eggplants in their yard or maybe they get a really good deal on shirts and know how to make a profit off of those so they can feed their family. And, to me, that’s the primary reason of doing this. I drive by, I’ve driven by that equestrian center many a times; and in a sense it’s kind of far enough out there, the road is really straight, and I personally don’t see it creating a really negative impact there. Other than people want to go there, they’re going to drive there, and they’re going shop there, and they’re going to experience it. And it should be a positive thing. As in many situations there’s never a, usually not a win-win all the way around. It’s some compromise; and, hopefully, both parties feel that they’ve won in a certain way. But to me it’s about the small guys winning, it’s about the community winning; and, you know, something like this is a good thing. So that’s my opinion. Thank you. WOODWARD: All right, thank you. Any further comments? HIGGINS: Point of information. 16 EXHIBIT D
