GALDONES:Commissioner Alameda. ALAMEDA:Thank you Chair. Also, the comments that you said that we could add if we were to go forward and make a generally, favorable recommendation, how would we add those comments and where? YUEN:Well, Id suggest the Commissioners just make them on the record right now and we would- rather than trying to take a vote on and trying to say whether these are comments of a majority, I think given the amount of time weve spent on this. And the fact that there are a lot of different parts to this, if the Commissioners just want to make comments that go up, we would just summarize them as comments of the individual Commissioners and send them up to the Council. GALDONES:Commissioner Iwashita. IWASHITA:Im ready to make the motion as suggested by the Director. GALDONES:Motion is in order. IWASHITA:I move that the Hawaii County Planning Commission express its general favorable recommendation on the Ag Tourism Bill as presented by the Director and that it be redraftedinaccordancewiththetestimonyandcommentsoftheCommissionersandforwarded to the County Council as so amended. SPRINGER:Second. GALDONES:It has been moved by Commissioner Iwashita and seconded by Commissioner Springer that the amendment to Chapter 25, Zoning Code of the Hawaii County Code relating to Agricultural Tourism be given a generally favorable recommendation to the County Council. IWASHITA:Thats correct. GALDONES:Further discussion. IWASHITA:For the record Mr. Chair. At the suggestion of the Director Id like to make a record that I believe the suggestion of a preamble recognizing the importance of agriculture as expressed in the State Constitution, the Charter and other laws, that it be recognized and that that is part of the purpose of presenting this ordinance. GALDONES:So noted. Further discussion? Hearing none, Norman. HAYASHI:Mr. Iwashita. IWASHITA:Aye. 16 EXHIBIT E
