prohibited on the property. Use of amplification devices for speech and music shall be prohibited. And then thereÓs a noise level associated with that that usually the Department of Health will monitor. Condition No. 5 addresses improvements to Ililani Road. It states that the applicant shall pave Ililani Road with a 2-inch thick asphalt concrete (A/C) material, 12 feet wide, from the intersection of Ililani Road and Kapoho Beach Road to the northeast end of the subject property, prior to Certificate of Occupancy. The majority of the other conditions are basically our standard conditions. We have received several correspondence since the application has been sent to the Commission, if I could just bring those to your attention. We have received several correspondence from the th representative. One is dated May 28 which has quite a number of signatures for support, as rd well as several letters. We have a correspondence from their representative dated June 3. Again, these are letters of support, one of them from Council Member Naeole, and weÓve received two letters this morning that have just been passed out to the Commission, one is from Jack and Glady Christenson, as well as Harry Samelson. And, lastly, we have received a petition rd for standing in a contested case hearing. This is from Mr. Albert Lono Lyman dated June 3, IÓm sorry, our letter back to Mr. Lyman is dated June 3, 2009. date stamped June 1, 2009 from the Planning Department. Are there any questions? WOODWARD: Mr. Domingo. DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Darrow, we had a brief discussion on this. And just for my own satisfaction and to have a clear understanding of it, because with regards to ag tourism itÓs something that has been, an interest has been growing into ag tourism with all the farmers trying to find ways and become more innovative in helping them to support their farm and their families.

And I think, and as I look at it what we have, in my own interpretation, are two, two applications. One is for the establishment of a temple for its described uses and another one is establishing an ag tourism industry wherein certain activities are permitted. And along with that, you know, the ag tourism requirements does specify that there be no overnight accommodations. So how are we addressing the culmination of the uses in this one special permit?

Basically each one of these items, the temple, the guest bedrooms for overnight accommodations that are in association with agricultural tourism require a special permi permitted use within the State Land Use Agricultural District and County Agricultural District, if they comply with the requirements stated in the Zoning Code under Section 25-4-15. It states under Subsection (C) that agricultural tourism activities in the ag district that does not conform to this section shall obtain a special permit. So when we had spoken to the applicants regarding EXHIBIT B 3
