WOODWARD: It evidently will be renewable. There’s generally a renewal clause. <br />HAYASHI: There’s no clause for a five-year limitation. <br />BOWMAN: Okay, there’s no clause? <br />HAYASHI: Yes. <br />BOWMAN: So what does that mean? Maybe you could clarify. <br />YUEN: Well, this would be essentially a permanent special permit. And <br />let me explain the difference in our viewpoint on this application versus the one that we <br />just had and some of the other ones. The businesses that we’ve been looking at that we <br />have on five-year special permits are typically businesses that you would find located in a <br />Light Industrial area, like a contractor’s baseyard. You wouldn’t find it located on <br />somebody’s agricultural lot. So these are the types of businesses. It’s just as an overall <br />philosophy it should be in an industrial zoned area or, you know, in areas developed for <br />that kind of purpose. We also get special permits that are on a very small scale, like this <br />one or basically agriculturally related. And in this case the dog kennel type of business is <br />agriculturally related. It’s not exactly animal husbandry, you know, because of the way <br />that things are defined in the Code. It’s, if he were keeping chickens, or raising cattle, or <br />the like, it would be simply permitted as an agricultural use. But it is a type of business <br />that you might find located out in a kind of a country area. And so although it does go <br />the special permit route we aren’t looking at, oh, this should be temporary and it should <br />be moved some day to some place else. <br />BOWMAN: Thank you. <br />WOODWARD: Thank you, Director Yuen. Any other questions? <br />BOWMAN: I just have one more. So, and thank you for that clarification. I <br />guess I was thinking on a different wave length. Do you know many, are there a lot of <br />boarding kennels in this area? I’m just curious. <br />MAEDA: I know of three boarding kennels. One in Hamakua, one in <br />Orchidland and one in Mt. View. <br />BOWMAN: And the quarantine is still on Oahu? Pardon my ignorance. <br />MAEDA: There’s a quarantine kennel on Oahu, and then there’s one here in <br />Puna. Just the cost of quarantining a dog here on the Big Island is almost double as if <br />you were to quarantine it on Oahu. So you can quarantine it here, it’s just the cost is a lot <br />more. <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />5 <br /> <br />
