willing to relocate? You know, I assume that there’s a lot of electrical wiring, etc., and all of this <br />other stuff that’s going to have to occur. If you find that after operating for a period of time that, <br />you know, you’re having significant complaints, etc., and that would be my concern. <br />CARROLL:Well, as we mentioned earlier, if that is a concern, it’s going to be between <br />A Hui Hou and the crematory manufacturer; and certainly they’re prepared to immediately cease <br />and desist any operation that is contrary to the Code or to the Health Department regulations. <br />And that’s, they’re going into that with full knowledge of that, as well as the viability of the <br />outfit that’s doing it. I think another point, if you looked at our, the summation we made today, <br />you’ll note that there are crematories being operated in residential neighborhoods throughout the <br />state. And we looked at it because of earlier Commissioners’ comments because we had not <br />really considered that issue. And it seems that, really, every island, every major island has <br />crematory in residential neighborhoods. So this is the top of the line with respect to crematories; <br />and I believe that won’t be a problem. But we’re certainly ready to comply with the conditions <br />of that permit so -. <br />WATANABE:Thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA:Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Carroll, in the Recommendations just <br />distributed, Item No. 5 says that “The crematorium shall be operated without smoke (smokeless) <br />and without odor (odorless), as represented to the Planning Commission.” <br />I guess my understanding of that is what has been represented includes those studies or charts <br />that showed, you know, what the emissions were. So is that your understanding that your unit <br />will comply with the standards or the measures that have been put on the record here? <br />CARROLL:That is correct; and that’s the warranty from that company as well. So -. <br />IWASHITA:Thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you, Commissioner Iwashita. Commissioner Siracusa? <br />SIRACUSA:Yes. In the event that the equipment did not function as well as has been <br />represented to you by the manufacturer and you were ordered to desist at that location until the <br />matter could be corrected, and if it could not be corrected sufficiently for the zoning, would you <br />folks be willing to relocate just the crematorium part of your operation to an industrial-zoned <br />area? I’m not talking about the funeral parlor or the homey-family type environment that you’re <br />creating where you are now, I’m talking about strictly the crematorium part. <br />CARROLL:Well, the issue is whether in an industrial area, agriculture or downtown, <br />we want that thing to work in accordance with the specifications that are being sold with. So if it <br />does not work properly before anybody knows about it, they will know about it; and they will <br />shut it down on their own. And we’ve been assured by the manufacturer’s representatives that <br />they will be in here to take care of it forthwith. And the problem that they had out at the <br />industrial park here was that the fellow apparently made no complaints about the fact that it <br />wasn’t being properly operated; otherwise, in fact, their representative went out and tried to tell <br />EXHIBIT A <br />5 <br /> <br />
