To summarize, current easement is used by the residents with the adjoining property. The applicant has chosen to infringe upon that easement for his own comfort by changing the fence line of his property and parking his horse trailer possibly impeding or a very minimum taking the use of that easement away from the other property owners, this coupled with this total disregard for known and possible pollutants on his property, i.e. oil spills, batteries, and possible polluted refractory items. This has existed for a majority if not the entire 32-month period, the conservative 32-month period that I brought up to you. All these actions and inactions beg a question. What would his conduct be if the applicant were awarded or continued to receive this special permit when he currently demonstrates utter contempt for the land, for his neighbors, and this Commission through his refusal to comply for a minimum of 32 months with the Commission’s request? CSA and Mr. Fujinaga respectfully demand that the applicant not be awarded any continuance or the use of his special permit in consideration of the arrogance and disregard he has displayed for this Commission and for its directives. And I want to add a postscript. The applicant’s comments at the prior meeting do not merit any comment by CSA or myself. However, a relevant misstatement made by the applicant regarding cattle on CSA’s property must be addressed. CSA owns and has owned 26 head of cattle which graze the CSA property. Additionally, coffee and other agricultural efforts are on-going and have been so. I have no further statements. Any questions, I’d be happy to entertain. WATANABE: Thank you. Fellow Commissioners, does anyone have any questions for Mr. Rybar? Mr. Domingo. DOMINGO: How many residents reside in that particular area? RYBARD: I believe one to two, to my knowledge. DOMINGO: Is it an agricultural subdivision? RYBAR: I understand that the entire area was classified as Agricultural. DOMINGO: And you only subdivided it to provide for those in there, your residences? RYBAR: I’m sorry I don’t understand your question. DOMINGO: Okay, you have a parcel, agricultural parcel, and now you’re telling me that there are two residences on the parcel. Is that right? RYBAR: I really, Mr. Domingo, cannot speak for the other residents. I understand there is another fulltime resident there. I can only speak for CSA’S ownership interest, which is the parcel that I’m concerned with. WATANABE: Follow-up? DOMINGO: Okay. Might be the Planning Department may have some information in that regard, whether it’s an agricultural subdivision or not. Mr. Darrow? EXHIBIT A 16
