since there have been several already approved there is really no basis to start objecting to it. That’s a kind of a precedent setting concern that they would have? MAYHEW: You’re exactly right. In fact, the last bed and breakfast application we had they didn’t even address it. Like I brought it to their attention and they said, oh, well -. So, yeah, that’s the precedent. You know, bed and breakfast, okay, I guess we’re accepting those. But where do we draw the line?They’re trying to draw a line. WOODWARD: Commissioner Bowman. BOWMAN: If, and this is hypothetical since we’re talking precedent setting and I understand. If say the school, that 20-acre parcel was developed and there was a school there, what to do think the objection would be from the Association to have a tutoring center near there? MAYHEW: Down the street? BOWMAN: Yeah. MAYHEW: That’s a very good question. I don’t know. It’s a relatively new board. I know I could speak for myself but I don’t know if I can speak for them. It seems logical to me a school, after center tutoring, you know, go down go down the street, get your tutoring and, you know -. But I guess if I’d have to give you an answer now I’d say they’ll probably stick to their guns and say this 20 acres is where this needs to be. BOWMAN: Okay, thank you. MAYHEW: You’re welcome. WOODWARD: I seem to sense a deep ambivalence here. MAYHEW: Oh, it’s tough for me, it really is. It is, it really is. But, again, you know, I feel for the Board, too. I mean there they are volunteers trying to, you know, plan the future of the neighborhood where there are only serving one to three years and they’re a little tentative -. WOODWARD: We know all about that. MAYHEW: You know about that, yeah. WOODWARD: All right. Well, thank you very much. Mr. Matlage, if you would give us your name and address and then start with your testimony, please. MATLAGE: Thank you. My name is Philip Matlage, M-a-t-l-a-g-e. I live at 15-2063 TH 7 Street, directly behind Ms. Campbell’s property. My mailing address is PO Box 492446, Keaau, 96749. I’d like to thank the Commission for their time and allowing me to express my objection to granting the special use permit for the tutoring center and school, if you would, proposed for Ms. Campbell’s home which sits directly behind mine in Paradise Park. Additionally, I would like to note that on Page 6 my testimony was noted as being in support, my EXHIBIT B 8
