KAISER: Section 2-1, Objectives of the Land Use Plan -. IWASHITA: Which plan are you -? KAISER: The Master Plan for Paradise Park. IWASHITA: Okay, thank you. KAISER: “The overall purpose of the Land Use Plan is to provide a framework for the future growth of development of HPP. The Land Use Plan is a document tool and a guide for the granting of permits and variances for both the county and the community. Each lot is owned by individuals who purchased their properties with the intent to building residences and/or using their land for agricultural pursuit. There should be no deviation from this plan.” Is that vague? WOODWARD: Commissioner Iwashita. IWASHITA: I’m sorry, what was the -? KAISER: I’m just asking the Commission if that’s a vague statement, “There should be no deviation from this plan?” IWASHITA: Are you asking that of the Director? KAISER: Okay, let’s do it that way. You said you didn’t really understand that the Plan was that specific. I think that’s rather specific. YUEN: No, I don’t see something in the plan that says that you should not have a small scale business operated out of a home, that we should not have something, for example, like this Kamehameha School Preschool which I presume is also not located in the 20-acre site, nor any other preschool tutoring center and the like. I don’t think the Plan was written to block those kinds of community initiatives. I hope it wasn’t. And I certainly don’t see anything in the plan that says that. KAISER: Cottage industries that would not create extra traffic or nuisance to neighbors. YUEN: Well, I also don’t see this as creating a nuisance to your neighbors. KAISER: We’re the neighbors. YUEN: I don’t see, in any area there are things that you live with. People can play baseball in their backyard, they can have kids over, run around. Those are the kinds of things that happen in a neighborhood. It doesn’t create a traffic on your street. And finally I wouldn’t really consider this a cottage, it’s not what we’d typically called a cottage industry. Cottage industry for most people would be something like someone sews clothes in there. It’s very much like a situation where somebody, they sew clothes or they have people come to their home and they do taxes or something like that. This is, I look at it as different. It’s more of a community- type facility. EXHIBIT B 19
