There was a short discussion on Mr. Lim’s request to amend Condition 3 to allow a licensed physician to dispense narcotic drugs while the clinic is open. In response to Commission’s concern, Mr. Lim clarified that the drugs will not be stored at the clinic. Director Yuen suggested the wording to amend the condition. Upon Commissioner Graham’s comment, Mr. Darrow agree that on page 3, subsection (B) should include the word “not” between the words “would” and “adversely.” For Commissioner Salavea’s information, Ms. Crosby explained that she is licensed with the State of Hawaii and also certified by National Board of American Academy of Nurse Practitioners as a family nurse practitioner. She said she has been trained to do basic family health care, which includes such chronic problems like diabetes, hypertension, asthma, and noting she also does well checks for men, women and children. She added that if problems arise where more in-depth examinations are required, she refers her patients to a medical doctor in Kealakekua. There was no one from the public wishing to testify on this agenda item. It was moved by Commissioner Salavea and seconded by Commissioner Graham that the request be approved as recommended by the Planning Director with page 3, subsection (B), first sentence of the recommendation amended to read, “The desired use would not adversely affect surrounding properties;” and Condition 3 amended to read, “The clinic shall not allow patients to stay overnight and there shall be no narcotic drugs stored at the clinic, or dispensed at the clinic except by a licensed physician.” A roll call vote was taken and motion carried with six ayes (Salavea, Graham, Galdones, Iwashita, Rho and Watanabe) and three absent and excused (Alameda, McCall and Siracusa).
