ALAMEDA:Commissioner McCall? I mean, Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:I’m still unclear. Let’s see, I feel like maybe we gave five years to Miranda along the highway there, but I think the intention behind the five years was he’s going to keep operating. It’s not like you’ve got to cease and desist in five years. And there’s another Waimea one for a trucking business we did which was, again, on the windward side of Waimea where there was already a Special Permit to run a trucking operation off of one of the side roads and we gave it a five-year extension because there was no industrial property available in the Waimea area for him to relocate even though we had complaints from the neighbors on that one. So I guess where I’m coming at right now is I don’t feel like we’ve dealt with the cease and desist thing. Are we telling this gentleman that we’ll let him operate for a year, maybe extend it for a year if he goes and does all this kind of nice stuff, but we’re not intending for him to continue to operate it thereafter. So if we ask him to jump through a bunch of hoops but then tell him he’s got to get out after he has done that after a year or two, somehow it doesn’t feel like that’s leaving him in a good spot. If we’re going to tell him if you do this, that, and the other thing then, you know, maybe you can get five years and come back, and if people are too unhappy about it you can continue, that’s one thing, or if you want to tell him, you know, it’s no good to do it then we tell him that. But it feels like the middle ground leaves him kind of in a bad spot. We’re asking him to do all this stuff but we’re telling him, you know, we don’t approve of what you’re doing so we’re going to expect you out in a year and maybe two. That’s the kind of stuff running through my head. ALAMEDA:That’s good, I like that perspective. Thank you for bringing that to the table. Commissioner McCall? MCCALL:Maybe to respond to Commissioner Graham, I don’t feel that we’re making him jump through any more hoops than we would in any place he’d have this baseyard. Sight distances, if we don’t have safe distances, he shouldn’t have any vehicle, a big truck driving, period, I mean, whether it’s for a week or a year. Screening, that may be; but I think we’re looking at something relatively economical, I mean, and he does have the option of moving his operation if he doesn’t. I think these are reasonable in my opinion. ALAMEDA:Okay. Commissioner Salavea, you had your hand up earlier. SALAVEA:No -. ALAMEDA:Okay. Let’s see, anybody else? So we have a proposal, we have a motion actually on the table, made by Commissioner Watanabe, seconded by Commissioner McCall, with a friendly amendment by Commissioner Galdones. On the table, still the conditions made by -. Commissioner Watanabe, did you accept the -? WATANABE:Yes, I accepted those as friendly amendments; and for clarification that would be 7 to 5:30, Monday through Saturday, yes. Maybe I can respond, if you don’t mind, to Commissioner Graham. ALAMEDA:All right, Commissioner Watanabe. EXHIBIT D 23
