The other thing I wanted to say is thatthe proposed structures were structures that the previous owner had plans for. He has drawings and, you know, was planning to build these two structures. So we simply put it on our site plans so that, you know, that those structures are there, the permits are open. But were not proposing to use any of that other space for the bed and breakfast. So, I dont know, I wanted to kind of speak to some of the concerns that Im aware of. Let me just say this, we had no idea that anything was a problem. We didnt hear anything from anybody up until we were suppose to have that first hearing in December. But we were, you know, on the mainland for holidays and so we werent able to attend that meeting. But, apparently, Commissioner Siracusa requested that we notify everyone in our subdivision that were doing this thing. So it turns out thats a great idea. We just had no idea that what we were doing was going to cause any concern or trouble for anybody, because it just seems like nobody would even noticewhatsgoingon,really.Werejustwantingtolegitimizeourselves.Sowesentthe letters. And one person called back and, you know, we kind of discussed some concerns that the neighbors might have about what was going on; and we were just like absolutely in shock about this and very upset, cause we were just so excited and inspired about doing this. And so we did proceed to get phone numbers and try to contact everybody in the community. I did have some conversations with people, followed that up with a letter, you know, kind of inviting people to contact us so that they could discuss their concerns with us and we could clarify exactly what were doing. And we also recently, you know, welcomed all of the members of our community to come over and to visit, and so on and so forth. So I just want to put that much out there; and maybe thats enough for now. Thank you. SPRINGER:Maam, your name and address. REYNOSO:Yes. Okay, Im Teresa Reynoso and I live with Candee. My physical address is 13-1265 Opihikao Road in Pahoa, and mail box for mailings is PO Box 1504, Pahoa. WATANABE:I wonder if you can speak into the microphone. REYNOSO:Im sorry. Okay. I just want to, I want to keep my comments short because Candee has already made several points. But I just want to make it clear that, you know, we are intending to have a two-bedroom bed and breakfast. Were not proposing to develop a resort of any kind, and we want to use one of the rooms upstairs for Candees massage practice. We also use that as our sort of business computer area as well. So thats what were proposing to use. These other structures, like Candee mentioned, were proposed by the previous owner and weve sort of inherited the permits. They are open. We are not including that for the bed and breakfast. I think two rooms are enough. My other source of income will actually be, once I start my medical practice here on the island -.
