homes and one single lane road coming in and going out. And, yes, we do have a lot of pigs. And what’s going to happen is when 27 possible dogs are barking every dog in the neighborhood is doing to bark. He may want to put his dogs inside at night but the smell of strange dogs in the neighborhood will carry and you will have the entire neighborhood barking. I have nothing against Mr. Maeda and nothing against dogs. I have dogs myself. But I don’t believe that this area is the proper place for a commercial business of any kind. This is a unique and remote little tiny peace of heaven. And to have a commercial business put in the middle of this just doesn’t make sense to me. I thank you very much. I am emotional. This is the future of the quality of my life; and I expect to live another 25 or 30 years, God willing. But right now I don’t see the worth of putting a commercial business in this unique little peace of heaven. Thank you very much. WOODWARD: Thank you. Any questions for Ms. Makepa? Seeing none, we’ll -. YUEN: I have one. WOODWARD: Oh, okay. Director Yuen. YUEN: Yes. Have you seen, he submitted a site plan of where -. MAKEPA: I’ve seen the site plan; and according to the site plan my house is like right here from the kitchen and the kennels. Although Mr. Histo’s lot is between us, like I said the gun range is invasive. So I’m foreseeing that possibly 27 dogs is also going to create a lot of noise. YUEN: I’m just trying to understand your location. Okay -. MAKEPA: Mr. Maeda, Mr. Histo, myself. YUEN: And then Ihope Road? MAKEPA: Then Ihope Road. YUEN: All right, okay. So he has a site plan where his kennel is about, you said the kennel was right outside your window? MAKEPA: No. But my house is here. His run range is here. His kennel is here. So it’s all going to come this way. The gun range now is impossible. For an hour and a half to two hours on a quiet Sunday afternoon you can’t read, take a nap, take a tv, do anything but listen to gunfire.So my feeling is all of that noise is going to come right at this way. I was raised as a young child on a dog kennel. My grandparents raised great danes. They have four to six kennels, it’s never quiet. There are always flies. What are you going to do with the poop? What are you going to do with any accidents of any dogs getting out? What’s going to happen? We don’t know. But nobody wants it. EXHIBIT A 12
