zoning was given to them because of this. The Takakis thought that was the best thing
<br />for Niulii, being it was so far, winding roads to Niulii that you can run down for a can of
<br />tomato sauce or a dozen eggs, you don’t have to go out all that way. But now, what is
<br />proposed now, and in no way -. Am I, are you hearing me?
<br />GALDONES:Yes.
<br />CAZIMERO:I’m doing this (waiving hand), in no way benefits anybody in the
<br />community. B&B, at first I believed the zone, she was given, the proposal was approved
<br />because it was going to add economical housing to the area. And B&B by no means
<br />going to benefit us, the community, or anybody. It’s going to just benefit the owner.
<br />And it went from, it just, to me it’s keeping, it’s escalating. Who is to say the next time
<br />anybody comes before the Planning Commission is because they want to extend? I
<br />believe you can even do on this type of zoning, 13 units, I believe.It can go up, it can go
<br />bigger. And who’s to say it won’t happen. That’s my concern because I, like I said, my
<br />bedroom is 20 feet from her boundary. I mean, you know, to have this three -. It looks
<br />like it’s nice, it’s fine, the foliage, everything looks nice on the paper there. But if you
<br />live in this community and you drive down into this community, it’s a village. It is not
<br />pono. That’s, and I feel I’m against it, not because I don’t, I’m against her doing
<br />anything with it. One building, a home, like how, I don’t know how, I can’t really tell
<br />how that is. But you put a home and you add extra bedrooms to do a B&B, maybe that’s
<br />fine, it’ll fit there, you don’t have 8-parking stalls and -. I don’t know. That’s all. That’s
<br />all I need to say.
<br />GALDONES:Thank you, Ms. Cazimero. Commissioners, any questions of
<br />Ms. Cazimero? Commissioner Graham.
<br />GRAHAM:I’d like to ask the Planning Director to, in respect to what’s being
<br />proposed, it seems like part of the SMA request is for an extension of a permit from many
<br />years ago for a three-unit apartment building; and then we’re having a, what’s on the
<br />agenda today is three separate single-family dwellings; and then we brought up an
<br />alternative since then to deal with the water issues.So, and, clearly, the different people
<br />who are speaking have different, or have concerns regarding one of these possibilities
<br />versus another might be greater. So I’m just concerned about a moving target here. If
<br />we’re having a contested case hearing, are we having a contested case hearing based on
<br />what’s on the agenda today and proposed or -? I’d like it to be clear before we go
<br />forward.
<br />YUEN:I think the applicant, the applicant’s idea is that if they got the
<br />B&B permit they would give up the old SMA Permit for the three-unit apartments. It’s
<br />not their intent to have both.
<br />SOLOMON:Right.
<br />YUEN:Am I correct?
