GRAHAM:So the implication I’m hearing from you then is that it’s perfectly <br />acceptable just to be a residence for you without the B&B? <br />BOUDAR:Well, in a way it’s not. Because with the family that I want to take <br />care of and moving my business to the Big Island, I really do need that as an economic <br />support; and I see it as a low impact way to create business on the island. And, you <br />know, I’m a great neighbor, I really am. I’m a responsible person. Right now I live <br />across the street from the Country Goose, and I have to say that she’s an exemplary <br />person to have in the neighborhood. She doesn’t, there’s very little traffic going in and <br />out, I don’t hear anything. But I have a neighbor with eight barking dogs and another one <br />with junk piled up in the street and, my God, I mean, who wants those kind of neighbors. <br />At least, you know, with her, she’s maintaining her property, it’s nice, it’s attractive and, <br />you know, I know what to expect. <br />GRAHAM:Thanks. I understand. <br />FUJIKAWA:Any other questions, Commissioners? If not, we’re on Application <br />No. 5, Melanie Boudar (USE 04-003). What is your decision? <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Chair, in discussion, I think that the semi-circular driveway <br />mitigates some of the concerns that have been raised about the use of neighboring <br />driveways. But will there be any sort of signage or indications on the exterior of your <br />property that clearly identifies your bed and breakfast so that other people’s homes’ <br />driveways are not entered? <br />BOUDAR:Yes, absolutely, in compliance with the signage. <br />ALAMEDA:Mr. Chair, also, there was a talk on the delivery trucks. Would <br />those fit in that circular driveway? <br />BOUDAR:Yes, they will. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay. <br />BOUDAR:The reason the delivery trucks have not fit in there right now is <br />because they deposited a bunch of building materials in the driveway so you can’t drive <br />through all the way, but that’s a temporary situation. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay. Thank you. <br />FUJIKAWA:Are there any other questions? <br />SPRINGER:No? Any comments? I, like Commissioner Graham, this is not, as <br />so many applications come before us, it’s, you know, not always as easy as one think it <br />might, one would think it might be. But with regard to this, having heard the discussion, <br />with regard to this application by Melanie Boudar, for Use Permit Application <br />15 <br /> <br />
