job of screening. But because they didn’t do the side boundaries when you’re coming at the property along the Highway you can look right in there. And so would Mr. Sumida be willing to do all the boundaries? Because even though his neighbor may not have his land developed, tomorrow his neighbor may decide that he wants to put a house on that property and would not especially like to look at a baseyard out of his bedroom window. SONG: We actually submitted a revised site plan which showed landscaping all around all four boundaries. So, yes, Mr. Sumida is willing to do that, I mean, except for the gate. SIRACUSA: I wasn’t assuming the gate. You can hang hanging baskets from it, of course. And another question is in the past we have required the applicants to, well, we’ve said limit the life of the permit to five years or upon new industrial zoned lands becoming available within a four-mile radius. Perhaps four miles isn’t enough for a radius. Those other people were, you know, they were putting a lot of infrastructure into those properties. Certainly the certified kitchen was, right? The others with their warehouse type steel buildings were also. But if Mr. Sumida only wants to use it as a baseyard, then his investment would be greatly reduced. So would he be willing to look for something within a larger radius, for example, a six-mile radius, if we were to make a change in the condition? SONG: He’d be willing to do it, but part of his reason for having it closer right now is it’s going to save some fuel costs. So if, for example, water trucks that are in central Puna there, I mean, saving fuel costs is part of the reason for having us here. But the six-mile is acceptable. SIRACUSA: I understand that. The reason I mentioned six miles is because there is a possibility that some of the people in the Puna Community Development Plan have been looking at the Pahoa dump road as an area that might be suitable for future Light Industrial development, because it’s close enough to the town, the Water Department is right there so water isn’t a problem, and there’s even power poles. But at least it’s not within everybody’s viewplane and it is within the six miles there. And that’s why I came up with that six mile as a possibility. And I’m wondering did you look at all in the Pahoa direction when you were searching around, or only towards Keaau? SUMIDA: I was also concerned about security for the trucks also. WATANABE: Yeah, Mr. Sumida, you need to state your name and address for the record. I swore you in but you didn’t -. SUMIDA: Oh, I’m sorry. My name is Carnor J. Sumida. My address is HC2 Box 6481, Keaau 96749. WATANABE: Okay, thank you. Now you can respond to that. SUMIDA: I’ve got about a million dollars worth of trucks and they’re right now located in Shipman; and I’m already getting a security problem there. And, you know, I’ve got thousands of gallons worth of fuel in the trucks and we’re already getting burglarized. And I rd know the neighbors up on 33 and I feel it’s a very safe area. And you’re talking about Pahoa EXHIBIT C 12
