TRIPP:As far as I knowBig Island Candies is operating as a commercial business. SIRACUSA:Yes, but they had asked to expand their operation; and that just got turned down at our last Hilo meeting, just for your information. You are the only, you would be then the only commercial enterprise on that entire square block? Im not talking about whats across the street from you. Im talking about, you know, within that block, as Im looking at it, the blue dots surrounded by yellow on the map. TRIPP:There is a drafting office that is a few houses down the road; and then theres also, the Jaycees have a building thats before that.

SIRACUSA:Pleasespeakintothemicrophone. HERBST:Okay,fine.Theresalsoachurchbehindus.Idontthinkitsbeingused as a church anymore, but theyre got their olds signs and everything. And then on the other corner, just across, well, across the street from where Waiakea Villas is, theres the contractors union building there also, which its not commercial but, I mean, its not a residential lot either, or theyre not using it for residential. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Siracusa, follow-up. SIRACUSA:No, thank you. HERBST:And I just wanted to add to that? ALAMEDA:Sure. HERBST:The lots right across the street that are kitty-corner on the opposite -, they are zoned for, theres nothing on them now but theyre in the plans for Commercial. ALAMEDA:Okay.
