WATANABE: I have a question of the applicant. And I don’t want to particularly make a big deal out of this, however, the Sunderlands did have a request of moving – I think the major concern was the pool – say, 500 feet from the boundary line. And I believe that was Phase Two of your project. And I’m wondering if you would consider that a reasonable request, just being a good neighbor to them. BLAKE: We certainly want to do whatever we can to -. GRAHAM: Mr. Blake? Yes. BLAKE: Yes. That’s fine. We want to do whatever we can to minimize impact on neighbors. There is a property that they represented there that is misleading. If you look at that, there is a 30-acre property between the Sunderlands’ property and the proposed property, so there is extensive difference. And we would be -, there is going to be noise and windbreaks; there is going to be all consideration. This is a tentative plan, we now go to – assuming acceptance of this – we go to a master plan where we want to have elevations and appropriate placement of things. So to say it specifically they’ll be moved 400 feet would be really hard to do, but taking neighbors’ concerns into consideration, absolutely. WATANABE: Yeah, thank you. Like I said, I really don’t want to make a big deal out of it. GRAHAM: Any further questions from the Commissioners? Commissioner Domingo? DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Under the Recommendations, on the point 8, access for the project from Akoni Pule Highway shall be via an access easement near Union Market; this includes construction vehicles for the construction of the facility; and said driveway access shall be improved, meeting with the approval of the State Department of Transportation; and the applicant shall participate in the cost on improving the access roads with the applicants of the approved 16-room Hawaiian Permaculture and Wellness Retreat located below; and the improvements shall consist of those portions of Pratt Road and the former cane haul road that provide access to the project site from Akoni Pule Highway with a minimum 20- foot wide compacted gravel surface; and the Planning Director shall determine the cost to be paid by the applicant after reviewing the total cost of the improvements. Will the applicant be willing to adhere to whatever the Planning Director decides to be appropriate for the cost of sharing? NISHIMURA: Commissioner Domingo, the applicant has reviewed all of the conditions being proposed, and has agreed to comply. DOMINGO: Okay. Now the question is who will in this case compel the Permaculture and Wellness Retreat to participate in this joint-venture. Mr. Torigoe, is there anyway that we can impose such a condition on that permittee? GRAHAM: Mr. Torigoe? EXHIBIT B 14
