Mamalahoa Highway running through the middle of the map in a north-south direction. The area of the application is identified in the blue dot. Looking at the submitted site plan from the applicant, Daniel Ibbetson, the request originally was for a two-bedroom bed and breakfast operation on .722 acre of land. Again, we have Mamalahoa Highway identified at the top of the map. We have the driveway access from the Highway; and then we have the identified layout of the bed and breakfast operation with the two bedrooms identified in colors. th This is a continued hearing. At our May 24, well, let me go back a little. On our January 20, 2006 meeting the Planning Commission had voted to deny the application. The applicant had appealed the decision to the Third Circuit Court and the Third Circuit Court reversed the decision and remanded it back to the Planning Commission for further proceedings. At our May 24, 2007 meeting the applicant, intervenor and Planning Department agreed to submit proposed findings of fact, and conclusions of law, as well as exceptions, to the Planning Commission. Each one of those has been submitted and received and passed out to the Commission. We’ve received findings of fact, conclusions of law, as well as exceptions from each of the parties. At our last meeting, the applicant had requested a continuance for medical reasons. Are there any questions? GRAHAM: Commissioners, any questions for Jeff? All right, thank you, Jeff. At this point I’d like to ask Mr. Torigoe if he would just give us a few words on the procedure we should follow today and what we’re trying to accomplish today. TORIGOE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Basically as Jeff said you have before you proposed Findings and Conclusion and a Decision, forms of that from each of the parties. And so you basically at this point, you can allow the parties to give whatever final argument and you can ask whatever final questions you want of them; and then proceed into making a decision. You may adopt any one of the proposed Findings or Conclusions as it is written or you may modify them as you see fit, add conditions or add other findings or conclusions; and basically vote to make a decision at this point. I’d also note that Planning Director is not here yet. And as this is a formal contested case the Planning Director is a party, so technically we ought to wait until the Planning Director is here to proceed with the actual argument and decision making. But if there’s any public testimony on this matter, you can take it up at this point. GRAHAM: Thank you, Mr. Torigoe. Noriko, do you know if we have any public testifiers signed up? SAUER: None. GRAHAM: We don’t have any. Could I ask the Commissioners at this time whether you would like to go into our decision making or whether you would like to have some final arguments from the parties? WATANABE: I believe it would -. EXHIBIT A 2
