that. And that’s what she’s asking for, similar to what we saw in this other application that we submitted to you a little bit earlier this week. GRAHAM: Thank you, Mr. Yeh. YEH: Thank you. GRAHAM: Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA: If we were to grant the temporary special permit for one year, with the option for a one-year renewal, that would give a potential two years. Do you think that that would be adequate time for her to arrange for that property on Kilauea Avenue? YEH: Quite possibly, with the ability maybe for Chris to provide that additional extension. What I don’t want to see is having us to come before you again to go through this same process. But she has been diligently working on that; and she just recently authorized us to start that process, too. So it does take time putting together the environmental background, traffic studies, etc. to get it to the point where we can officially file; and then of course depending on what happens with this body, as well as the Council. But that, certainly, I would say probably two years is probably a safer scenario. SIRACUSA: Redirect? GRAHAM: Go ahead, Commissioner Siracusa. SIRACUSA: Generally when we give a special permit, and I’m not sure, maybe the Director could comment on this, but generally we set a time limit and then the possibilities of extension are issued for the same amount of time. So that if we were to grant you two years then it would be renewable for four; and I would not personally feel comfortable with that, you know, unless that we said two years and no extensions; and I don’t know if we could legally do that. Maybe the Director can comment on that. GRAHAM: I’m sure we can do it if we choose to. YUEN: Yeah, I was going to say within the body of your discretion you could go two years and give them one year. Because it’s not necessarily tied to a renewal, the same renewal period. SIRACUSA: My other question has to do with if this is granted did you intend to post a signage out front indicating -? I noticed that you had a banner before about a furniture sale; and it seems to me that if you’re only delivering from there you don’t really need it. So I would feel uncomfortable approving your special permit if there were to be a sign out there. Because one of the things that happens, and we’ve seen this in Puna along Highway 130, is that people see a sign for a business and they assume that it’s okay to open a business on that highway when it may not be. And so I would not want to EXHIBIT B 6
