prepare to live in compliance. And the proximity of Connector Road A and B which has very <br />clearly been repeatedly handed to them despite their concerns for possible Connector Road C or <br />D that puts it far away from that boundary, well go right back to a meeting, it will be Connector <br />Road A and B. So that would be, its a very well-described connector road, both A and B, one of <br />them right through the middle of Lalamilo Farmlots and the other would be along the eastern <br />boundary, which again being windward is an issue. And I think to what might help you <br />understand the position is that the farming community would have no objection if they could <br />distance that connector road. Theyre for a connector road. They want to get around town, they <br />want to have emergency flow of appropriate vehicles happen, too. But get it to a degree that <br />separates it from the Lalamilo Farmlot community that would comply with the Food Safety Act. <br />In a simple sentence, that would do. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Graham, follow-up? <br />GRAHAM:Yes.So,IdontwanttoparaphraseyoubutIdidaskyouaspecific <br />question. And what Im gathering, let me try to paraphrase and you correct me, is that youre not <br />specifically saying that its impossible to do this without harming the farming community; but <br />what you are saying is the specific plans that have been put forward to do this are all kind of <br />problematic for the farming community. <br />BERGIN:Yeah. I agree with that statement. If the term vicinity could be quantified <br />then that would be clearly a huge step forward. But the way it is, vicinity in your mind and mine <br />might be completely different; and that raises the concern. So rather than watch, we decided to <br />go on record expressing concern for the lack of definition. And yet the only described routes <br />happen to be A and B. <br />GRAHAM:Yeah, I would think maybe in general with ordinances or laws or, I dont <br />know, in general if we were writing conditions on some permits that we were granting or <br />something, you know, we might say something like provided that there is minimal adverse <br />impact to the farming community or something; and we could leave this general statement of <br />what we want in but have that proviso in or something. Does that sound like a workable path? <br />BERGIN:Yeah, if it was quantified to fall within Federal law, I think that could be <br />lived with. And thats the big clinker, is Uncle Sams definition of what food safety buffer zones <br />are; and that needs to be examined before these definitions come to pass. Another important <br />issue to be clear on this is that when we say that were not so much concerned with Item A, that <br />would be the Kamamalu to the cooling plant portion that is in Parker Ranch lands that I <br />understand to be protected by ordinance. Thats not our kuleana. Our kuleana is where it comes <br />and abuts against the farming community. And thats why were not taking on both, just the one <br />that does in fact by the ambiguity that the term vicinity causes to, out of responsibility, I wanted <br />to respond to that. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. Let me ask Commissioner Watanabe and then Commissioner <br />Siracusa. Commissioner Watanabe? <br />WATANABE:Iwashita. <br />ALAMEDA:I mean, sorry, Commissioner Iwashita. Sorry. <br />11EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
