WATANABE: Correction. We struggled with it not because it was one acre. <br />OLSON: No, we struggled with it. <br />WATANABE: Yeah. You indicated we struggled with it for three hours and that <br />was only one acre. We struggled with it because we were looking for something that was <br />hopefully a little more permanent. Right? <br />OLSON: Yeah, yes. <br />WATANABE: And, you know, I think too Mr. Alameda’s pointed out we had <br />hoped that the CDP would have provided some of that cause it’s clear from the record <br />that that community in particular wanted it there, yeah. So we didn’t struggle over it for <br />just one acre. We struggled with it because repeatedly we talked about the four or five <br />more special permits that will be coming up very shortly and what would we do and how <br />could we be consistent in the future. It wasn’t just trying to solve for this one acre here. <br />OLSON: No, I’m appreciative of that. And it is, I mean, you’re attempting <br />to provide needed services within a subdivision, you know, that is in desperate need of <br />them. And, you know, your decision was not a bad one. I mean, from my perspective <br />and I would have gone the way you’ve gone. But to further expand it at this point, but <br />you’re going to end up having, as the discussion here stated, you’re going to have to <br />expand it because you’ve started down that track. But we focused on what’s going to <br />happen further on down the line. I mean we could go through this process in every <br />subdivision looking at every single one of these special use permits and try to figure out <br />some way to bring that into conformity with the broader plan; and we would be at that <br />forever. <br />WATANABE: Okay, thank you. Mr. Domingo. <br />DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’m going to put the table before you <br />folks. This morning there was a proposed amendment that it be included in the <br />Community Development Plan. What are your feelings? <br />OLSON: About the Kanaka Council? <br />DOMINGO: Yes. <br />OLSON: My feeling is somebody has got to do it. And to the point that this <br />group clearly has the legal standing -- I mean, the Courts have recognized their legal right <br />to represent the indigenous population here and their cultural practices -- I’m very <br />comfortable with it. I mean that’s not a decision of the committee but that’s my personal <br />view. <br />DOMINGO: Your personal view. <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />14 <br /> <br />
