IÓm later finding that they donÓt have any roadside stands. I noted in their exceptions they say they do that, where they sell the coffee is next to an improved road; but where they sell the coffee is within a gated area. You canÓt enter the area unless youÓre accepted for a tour by Doutor Coffee. So I donÓt think that tha according to the definition of a roadside stand. Then, okay, No. 5 is the hours, 9 to 4 p.m., limit to 80 visitors. ThatÓs what they said that they were going to do. Now I see that they want 80 visitors plus their companyÓs franchisees. I came to the conclusion that the 80 visitors was acceptable, but that the traffic was a problem. So I donÓt think it should be more than Again, no large buses, no excessive idling of vans awaiting passengers, no weddings and that noise levels should not exceed the decibels of 55 along the property boundary, except along the frontage of Mamalahoa Highway. And I think thatÓs, basically, the overall view of the recommendations. But if anybody has any specific questions, IÓd be happy to answer them. GALDONES:Commissioners -? Thank you, Ms. Broder. Commissioners, any questions of Ms. Broder? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Hi. Thank you for all your work on this. One thing that has been brought up that is concerning to me is that, clearly, there are problems; and thatÓs why youÓve brought in all these restrictions and mitigation measures. Also, there is some background, like you said, about the heiau and the different parcels being grubbed away as far as compliance by this Applicant. It does feel like thereÓs not really monitoring things in place. So if this becomes suitable its because the noise level is below a certain amount, because idling of the buses is not excessive, because of a whole bunch of things like this where it seems that itÓd be unreasonable to expect the neighbors to be sort of, you know, monitoring this. On the other hand, I mean, I know as a neighbor to people in my vicinity, you donÓt want to just go out and be a bitch and complain about all kinds of little things. So, anyway, IÓm a little concerned about the whole idea that you have a whole lot of restrictions to try to hold this within an acceptable range, yet, it seems a bit unreasonable to me to expect these restrictions to all be met and to have the neighbors make sure that happens and all like that. So I just want you to comment on that if you would. BRODER:Well, I suppose in the ideal world that if the Applicant is granted the permit and restrictions are placed on the permit, that the Applicant would conform to the restrictions that are placed on the permit. You know, obviously, there are some indications that, in the, for the grubbing, as you were pointing out, one is the archeological site was destroyed. Actually, the heiau is on the immediately adjacent property which Doutor also owns, or at least that was the testimony that was received at the hearing. And the Applicant, of course, also was cited by the County for having 500 6
