businesses there. A lot of times we do service work, they don’t have to be off of work. We can go down right to the business, pick their cars up and deliver their cars. I know that I was doing wrong by not doing, my special use permit. So I apologize for that. But I had a business, family business, I had five employees with family, so I needed to continue my business without stopping. And so if I could ask if you guys could please grant the five years special use permit, that would really help me. ALAMEDA:Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Deluz. All right. Any questions for applicant’s representative or Mr. Deluz himself? Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA:No matter what the period of time we decide on, I guess, I’m just curious, you know, where you’re going to have to, you know, what are the potential areas to relocate? Because it doesn’t seem to me that realistically maybe even in that five years that there is going to be any planning action that would open up a space that will allow you to, you know, to move some place in the Waimea area. LIM:Well, we don’t know what will happen. It, obviously, will require a significant investment to go get a change of zone for General Industrial zoning. And it’s one of those situations, like I said, where you’ve got increased requests for services, Mr. Deluz has shown that he can operate the auto body repair shop within the confines of the community. And, like I said, I don’t think we’ve any significant objections to his operations. You know, we’re hoping that some other places come open. But as of right now, we don’t believe that there’s anything available. So we think that that does meet the test for the special permit. ALAMEDA:Let me go to Commissioner Graham and then Mr. Director. GRAHAM:I wish, Mr. Lim, you, or Mr. Deluz could just clearly explain, and I think we’ve been alluding to it, what’s the situation with the Haina site, which is the proposed relocation. We originally got something from you folks in the application about the time frame and how it dealt with the courts, and then you wrote a follow-up later saying, well, it’s going to take you a lot longer to do stuff and all. Can you just give us a nice straight rundown of where it sits? LIM:Basically the Haina mill site was intended as a second site for Mr. Deluz’s operation so he could service the Hamakua-Hilo side. What has come up in the meantime is that we’ve uncovered that there are some entitlement issues that may be preventing him from using it, but we’re going to be discussing that with the Planning Director. But that is a second site, so it’s not a relocation site. It’s just a second site. ALAMEDA:Mr. Director? YUEN:Yes. I just wanted to make a statement on the record as to what zoned areas a project like this can be done in. And there is a potential that this kind of a business can be done in a CV zone. A CV zone is what we call Village Commercial zone, and most of the commercial property in Waimea and Honokaa is in a CV zone. The dividing line is you can EXHIBIT C 5
