SPRINGER:Other Commissioners? <br />YUEN:You know and that€s you know that€s a building that we were talking <br />about them putting up a building that does meet building and fire codes. Itmay be small, it may <br />be simple but it would meet those codes. <br />SPRINGER:Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:I just want to address this to Mr. Roland. I€m sort of assuming that you <br />probably coming in front of us and you€re not sure what we€re thinking or where our concerns <br />are and all that. <br />ROLAND:I have not a clue. <br />GRAHAM:So,Iwantedtojustonlyspeakingformyselfjusttrytogiveyoualittle <br />feel for what€s going on so that you can address yourself appropriately and all. It seems like <br />almost all the special permits that we deal with are sort of what I would call more tight. Like the <br />one we just had before about this Morihara Store. In other words they deal with a more specific <br />you know single activity or-. Whereas yours both in terms of scope of what€s going on like a <br />gallery, a catering facility, overnight camping, office space and all. Even though you write in <br />your speaking part here is what it feels to me you know your philosophy and all that stuff you <br />kind of pull it together with your philosophy. To me looking at what€s going in on the ground <br />doesn€t pull together so much for me. It seems like somewhat disparate things and I don€t think <br />there€s anything in the law about special permits that says that€s not okay. I€m just saying it€s <br />very much against the grain of how we usually see special permit requests. And then on the time <br />side where you€re saying well maybe in 10 years we€ll do some more that also will complete <br />parts of it in 10 years, that feels to me more like the you know theoretical what we might like to <br />do kind of stuff. And again that€s a little contrary to what I feel we usually run into where <br />somebody has a specific thing we€re going to do this and we€re ready to do it and all. So I, so <br />my kind of resistant side or uncomfortable on this side with what€s going on has to do with both <br />of those aspects. So I just wanted to put that forward to you so you can keep that in mind as you <br />go forward. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you Commissioner Graham. Mr. Roland? <br />ROLAND:Maybe I could address that a little bit. In Ocean View there are a lot <br />people living there that have to commute and they have a lifestyle that is quite different than <br />Kona or Hilo and the community is in the throws of change quite rapid change now. And there€s <br />not really much there that is available to people that want to do things. There€s not any places <br />for people to rent to set up a small shop or a work facility of any kind and there€s no real meeting <br />places. Even though we have a community hall there€s a lot of politics involved there and a lot <br />of controls and restrictions and a lot of people have been alienated for one reason or another. So <br />as a community we don€t have a center, we don€t have a place where we can interact in a positive <br />sense and develop some sort of a consensus where we€re going and how we€re going to go <br />together, because there€s a lot of things at stake and there€s a lot involved on a lot of levels. And <br />the Goldings want to open up their own business and they also want to do something that€s really <br />EXHIBIT B <br />7 <br /> <br />
