vote for you to have the special permit if you were going to indicate that there would be a <br />sign that would be visible from the road. <br />YEH: Mrs. Siracusa, I can respond to that. We wouldn’t have a problem <br />with a prohibition, a condition prohibiting any sort of signage advertising that business. <br />The sole purpose for coming before you with respect to trying to use a portion of the <br />warehouse is really just to store and use it a point source for receipt and delivery of <br />inventory. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you, Mr. Yeh. <br />YEH: Thank you. <br />GRAHAM: Any questions from Commissioners? <br />SIRACUSA: I had one more. I just had one more -. <br />GRAHAM: Excuse me, you have another one, follow-up? <br />SIRACUSA: Yes. <br />GRAHAM: Go ahead, Commissioner Siracusa. <br />SIRACUSA: Okay, this is a very short comment; and that is as with regard to <br />th <br />your September 5 letter, Mr. Yeh, at the very bottom of page 1 you say “It does not <br />make sense for someone to purchase what is in fact expensive agricultural property for <br />the purpose of operatinga small warehouse space with the hope that a special permit will <br />be granted.” This is to contradict the Director’s statement that it would lead to, you <br />know, strip mall development. And I would just like to inform you that it happens all the <br />time. We see that coming before us all the time. And it doesn’t make sense, but people <br />do a lot of things that don’t make sense. Thank you. <br />YEH: Thank you. And I appreciate that. I think, you know, obviously, <br />Ms. Shepard’s situation is different. That’s not why she purchased the property. I think <br />it really speaks well on her part that if you look at that virtually entire 24-acre parcel <br />except for that small portion of the warehouse space it’s fully planted in taro and sweet <br />potato. She has invested a great amount of time in supporting agriculture both in the way <br />of farming as well as supporting some 30 to 40 farmers. So I think it can be fairly said <br />that she’s doing her part to do that. <br />If I may I wanted to comment a little bit more, but I’m open to questions now, too, unless <br />you want me to go ahead and proceed first. <br />GRAHAM: Mr. Yeh, we’re going to just take questions now, then you all can <br />go back and we’ll bring up public testimony. And after the public testimony you come <br />back one more time. If there are any further comments we’ll go from there. Okay? <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />7 <br /> <br />
