not a way to create; to have a big commercial area by Special Permit is really not the way the system is supposed to work. I wanted to explain some of the history of how we got here and why were still going along with this process and this application but at some point really we have to make a decision in this area and perhaps some of the other areas whether we say, uh, uh, Special Permit is not the right way to do it go in, come in for a rezone. GALDONES:Further questions of Norman? Seeing none, will the Applicant or his representative please come forward? Mr. Fuke I need to swear you in. FUKE:Okay. GALDONES:Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai¡i County Planning Commission? FUKE:YesIdo. GALDONES:Mr.Fukecanyoupleasestateyournameandyourresidenceaddress? FUKE:Sure.GoodafternoonMr.Chairman,MembersoftheCommission.My name is Sydney Fuke. Im representing the applicant, Burt Kamigaki this afternoon. My residence address is 1358 Melemanu Street in Hilo, 96720. GALDONES:Mr. Fuke have you received a copy of the background report and the recommendation and also you heard the amendments to condition number 2 and the adding of the new condition number 13 and do you have any comments to them? FUKE:Yes. Initially Id like to acknowledge the absence of Mr. Kamigaki. He was here earlier this morning but unfortunately he had a flight to catch so he had to leave but we have his designated representative, official representative which is his wife and probably more significant representative. But yes, prior to his leaving and even you know before today he did get a chance to review the Staffs proposed recommendation as well as conditions. And also I had preliminarily reviewed with him the additional condition with respect to the preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis Report as was being recommended by the State DOT. And that, that too was deemed acceptable. Id like to note that as, you know in response to some of the dialogue between the Commissioners and the Staff is that this is really like an original Special Permit thats been amended and true its amount to some amount of expansion. But in conjunction with the expansion since the permit was approved back in I guess 2002, like over the last 3 years the Commission has you know through the recommendation of their staff you kind of sort of like cranked up the conditions. And so I notice that there are like seven new conditions and plus the one with the, the Staff just recommended just shortly you know you basically like have 8 new conditions that were absent with respect to the original Special Permit. So I think that all things considered the issues relative to infrastructure and other related land use issues through these additional 8 conditions I think would be well accommodated. GALDONES:Thank you. Commissioners are there any questions of Mr. Fuke? Commissioner Siracusa? EXHIBIT C 4
