orient you, the Volcano Highway is to the southeast here. Most of the zoning around the <br />property Agricultural 5 acres. <br />This is a really dark aerial photo. The property is outlined in red; and this is just to kind <br />of show you the density of housing nearby.There are a few houses in the subdivision <br />north of the property and then there’s a house on the lot just north of the property. But <br />most of the area is covered in forest. <br />Again, the proposed use is for up to 22 individual dog kennels. And then the applicant is <br />also planning in the future to construct an office, a certified kitchen to bake dog treats to <br />sell to the dog owners, and to clean and pack fruits and vegetables grown on the site. <br />Also, another future project that he’s requesting approval for today is a State quarantine <br />kennel for up to five dogs. The applicant has mentioned that he will provide a pick-up <br />and drop-off service, and he will allow clients to visit their dogs by appointment only <br />Monday through Friday from 9 to 5:30 and Saturday from 10 to 3. <br />This is a site plan that shows the existing dwelling, and this is the driveway off of Ihope <br />Road. He’s proposing a large kennel here, an office with the certified kitchen, and then <br />the State quarantine kennel is just above that. <br />The Planning Director recommends approval of this request to establish a commercial <br />boarding kennel, office, certified kitchen, and quarantine kennel. Are there any <br />questions? <br />WOODWARD: I have a question. Why do you have to have a certified kitchen to <br />cook dog cookies? I mean I have four dogs and they, I don’t have a certified kitchen but <br />they eat the stuff that I cook. I’m just wondering. <br />MAEDA: If you want me to address that? <br />WOODWARD: Well, we’ll get to you in just a second. We’re going to ask <br />questions of the staff first, and then you can address that when we get a chance to get <br />your testimony. Anybody else have any questions? <br />HOUSEL: I had one question. They’re asking for 22 kennels plus 5 <br />additional kennels for the quarantine for a total of 27? <br />COTTLE: Yes. The 22 will be in one structure and then 5 State quarantine <br />kennels is in another structure. <br />WOODWARD: Any other questions for staff? All right, seeing no more questions, <br />if we could have the applicant and/or the representatives come up, have a seat and we’ll <br />swear you in, and get your testimony. You can tell us why you have to have a certified <br />kitchen to cook dog cookies. Okay, if you’ll raise your right hand. Do you swear or <br />affirm to tell the truth today before the County of Hawaii Planning Commission? <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />2 <br /> <br />
