would not recommend that. But I dont know this property, looking at the pictures it doesnt, its not an ideal situation, its not the best road, its not that bad. Returning to the question of scale, youre adding probably two vehicles to the traffic. Its not a traffic problem per se. And it is a public road that visitors can get in the rented cars and decide to go down and drive down, and residents can drive down and use all the time. So, and weve, the Department has consistently recommended in favor of bed and breakfasts. We do look at it as a way or people being able to take advantage of a visitor economy in a direct manner on a very low impact and low key basis. So thats, weve recommended this. And I dont see, although its not the best road, the pictures that I see dont make me feel that its a terrible hazard, that were putting a visitor in imminent harm by having to drive to this location. SPRINGER:Thank you. Are there any questions either for the applicants or the Director from the Commissioners? I have a question, Mr. Director. Looking at the letter from Stephen Freedman where he suggests threeconditions,Imwonderingifyouconsideredthose?Theyrethattheownersshallbe prohibited from erecting any sign on their property indicating or advertising the presence of a commercial establishment on the site; two, vehicle and pedestrian access to the subject property shall be exclusively from Opihikao Road; and that the owners be required to advise all customers and visitors that they are not allowed to drive or walk in the private roads or property in the subdivision. I think that was what the applicants brought to our attention in anticipating some opposition. YUEN:The signage, it seems to me that its useful to have some kind of small sign on the property that helps people find it. If the idea is to avoid inconveniencing the neighbors, then its, although the mileage is a useful indicator here, if you have a small sign, people know thats where you are and you dont pull into the neighbors driveway by mistake and ask then, knock on the door and bother them when theyre having dinner. So I cant support the signage -. The one about not walking on the private road, thats really up to, I defer to the applicant. It seems, I think its being a little pickey on this part of people, to tell you the truth, to say that visitors to a neighboring bed and breakfast shouldnt walk on their road. But, Im not enthusiastic about putting it in as a condition. If the applicants dont mind and this person wants it, I dont have a big problem with it. Im personally not going to recommend it. SPRINGER:And it appears as though your driveway is clearly off of the Opihikao Road. YUEN:And then the question of the access, their only access is from the Opihikao Road, so that doesnt seem to be an issue. SPRINGER:Okay. Commissioners? Thank you, Mr. Yuen. Commissioners, any questions of the applicants or the Director? No one has signed up from the public to testify on this matter. Is there anyone who cares to do so? Thank you. Commissioners, were ready to entertain a motion. 10EXHIBIT D
