TORIGOE:As I said, if you want to just, at this point, I guess staff has finished their initial presentation. If the Commissioners have background questions that theyÓd like to ask, just to flush out the background, you can go ahead and do that; and then call up the Applicant and the request, the people who are requesting intervention. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Torigoe. Commissioners, any questions of staff on the information presented to us or clarification? GRAHAM:Madam Chair? SPRINGER:Commissioner Graham, thank you. GRAHAM:As I read over all this material and also the Hawaiian Paradise Park Community Master Plan and all, my first feeling was while a lot of people in the community got together and worked out a plan for the direction they wanted to see future development take place in the Hawaiian Paradise Park area, the industrial node that they had is not where this property is located. So, right away, I got a, you know, a worried feeling that the Planning Commission could be sanctioning a land use in contrast for what the community has already indicated they wanted to do. And then as I read the conditions, I see that there seems to be pretty strong-built around a five-year period, as if maybe the Planning DepartmentÓs feeling is there was real value to providing the service to the community; and that rather than having it wait for some p be operated in a short run at a place that is not particularly in line with the plans that the community has come up with. But then I start thinking is the Applicant really going to build all of this structure and do this paving and all that for site? And, so, then I wondered what will happen in five years if the business is going well and all or, if people are going to say, well, you have to leave now, sorry. Anyway, those are all the issues that sure came to my mind, so I just wanted to put them all out on the table. SPRINGER:Thanks. Norman, I guess that that speaks to the enforcement of Condition 2, among other things. How would Condition 2 be enfor HAYASHI:Well, basically, what we would do is that after five years we would inform the Applicant that, or prior to the expiration of five years, we would inform the Applicant that his permit would expire, will be expiring. He has the option of asking for a time extension. Or if an appropriate area designated for Industrial is found in close proximity within four miles, then he would have that option of relocating into that area. So itÓs whichever comes first, the five years or the designating of an appropriate Industrial zoned area, then this permit would be nullified, unless the Applicant comes in for a time extension. SPRINGER:Commissioner Graham, do you having any follow-up? GRAHAM:Well, certainly, we need to hear more from the Community Association and the applicant about this kind of thing. You know, on the concerned side, 4
