his use of the property. And, you know, I think that, in part, that’s what we’re here for and that’s what we’re considering, you know, to enhance the economic probability of people making a living for themselves. And that’s why I voted against the motion. WOODWARD: Director Yuen. YUEN: Mr. Chair, it’s not my practice to argue things, and I try to say what I say and then let the Commission go ahead. But I have to be concerned a bit about the last vote and what I-. I’m a little concerned about the, what is being presented. Because when you look at a special permit you have an application and the applicant basically presents a picture of what they’re going to do and what they want to do. And we analyze it on that basis We did not analyze this special permit on the basis of they might want a full-blown commercial kitchen, that people in the community could come and rent on a periodic basis, or that they might have large loads of agricultural supplies coming in and with no limitation to the scale of what’s presented. Now that might be a fine thing; but if they want to do that, they should apply for it so that we can really look at it in such terms. So there should be some limitation to any special permit to basically what’s being presented by the applicant. ALAMEDA: Mr. Chair? WOODWARD: Commissioner Alameda. ALAMEDA: Thank you. And, you know, along the lines of what the Director is suggesting, I mean, that’s how I’m thinking. I see this as almost two applications. You know, one is like for the commercial kennel and I don’t have a problem with that. And the other one is for the certified kitchen, and based on the applicant’s presentation, you know, I don’t have a problem with that either. And, you know, restricting the use to only owner I think is restrictive. If we’re to only look at that commercial kitchen, like we did in the past in the braddah pops or whatever kind of applications that came before us, I mean, I don’t think we restricted it to only one person. So, you know, and the applicant agreed to the restriction but that’s cause we Commissioners and, you know, we don’t have the robes but we do present with certain power. So, I mean, but, you know, we’re just trying to be less restrictive. I mean, that’s why I voted against the motion. WOODWARD: Commissioner Bowman. BOWMAN: I just have a question. Are there many, and I’m not familiar with this area, but are there other commercial kitchens? I know of Paauilo and I know some churches have commercial kitchens. So are there any commercial kitchens say within 20 miles of this? COTTLE: I don’t know. BOWMAN: You don’t know? EXHIBIT A 24
