BOWMAN: So we could conceivably take that out of the application because it <br />would be approved cause it’s on Ag land? <br />YUEN: If he is processing his own products he does not need a special <br />permit to have a certified kitchen. When we’ve had special permits for certified kitchens <br />it’s for people who actually are doing, they’re taking in products that may be on island or <br />off island and they’re doing the cooking. <br />WOODWARD: All righty then. <br />IWASHITA: Mr. Chair? <br />WOODWARD: Commissioner Iwashita. <br />IWASHITA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I guess this is maybe directed primarily at <br />staff and then maybe to the applicant. Mr. Maeda spoke of various kennels that already <br />exists. And given the testimony in opposition I guess what I would like know is whether <br />there are properly zoned lands in East Hawaii that a kennel could be built on. Because <br />what we’re looking at is creating this commercial activity out in this Ag area, very remote <br />Ag area; and if, in fact, there is land available and properly zoned where the applicant <br />could lease and/or buy and build a kennel without coming here for this special permit <br />then that’s something I want to know. <br />WOODWARD: If I might address that, Commissioner Iwashita, and I just spoke <br />with our legal counsel Mr. Torigoe, dog kennels are a permitted use on Ag land. The <br />reason that this one is different is he’s going to make a buck. It’s a commercial kennel; <br />and that’s the only difference. If he was going to put 27 of his own dogs in there he <br />would have no problem. <br />IWASHITA: I would like to know if there are lands available and properly <br />zoned where he could build a kennel and rent it out commercially without having to go, <br />you know, where it’s allowed and all he has to do is get a building permit. <br />YUEN: Let me just, I don’t want to do this just on the fly. I think it’s a <br />permitted use in a Heavy Industrial or a Light Industrial zone, but let me check the <br />Zoning Code. <br />ALAMEDA: Mr. Chair? <br />WOODWARD: Yes, Commissioner Alameda. <br />ALAMEDA: You know, just to, I’m okay with the answer being yes, you know, <br />and still be ready to move on. Like Commissioner Iwashita was asking if there’s land <br />available for such an enterprise, let’s just assume there is land, plenty, then I’m ready to <br />move on. <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />16 <br /> <br />
