The Commission, to give another example, I believe the McNicoll application which was similar <br />in the sense of being an existing business that had been in operation for several years, and in <br />violation, the Department had an unfavorable recommendation on that. The Commission wanted <br />to give the individual some time to close up business; and we had no great objection to giving the <br />individual some time to phase out that business and move some place else. And that was, am I <br />mistaken? And that was a year that the, the Commission voted to give Mr. McNicoll a year. So <br />I don’t think that there’s a hard and fast rule on this. So it is a matter of discretion with the <br />Commission. But we did feel that given that there is a possibility of going to a CV zone, given <br />that the applicant has been on notice for some time that they had to do something that two years <br />would be sufficient. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Galdones, follow-up? <br />GALDONES:According to the applicant, thank you, Mr. Chair -. Mr. Lim, couple of <br />things. If you could address Mr. Yuen’s remarks regarding the availability of a possible building <br />in a CV zone in the Waimea area; and, secondly, if you could address the notice that Mr. Deluz <br />has received for a long period of time, and if you could inform us what attempts have been done <br />by Mr. Deluz since the notice was given to him of the violation. <br />LIM:From the time of the violation, well, actually before that, what he has been <br />trying to do is to secure a second site as a backup. We knew that we would have to come for a <br />special permit. And so what he has done is he has secured a Haina site which is, we believe, a <br />site for a non-conforming industrial use although it is zoned Agricultural. That’s something that <br />we have to discuss with the Planning Director. And because that issue came up relatively <br />recently, he started to do his search for other appropriately rezoned areas, and Mr. Iwashita’s <br />client being one. And we’ve been looking at Commercially zoned areas and looking for <br />Industrially zoned areas. And as far as, we’ve been looking for maybe 2 years now, 2 ½ years <br />now. We haven’t found anything suitable. Like I said, it’s not like being in Hilo or Kona where <br />you have a significant amount of Industrial or even Commercial zoned uses and properties. <br />There’s just a very, very limited portion. And so that’s why we’re asking for the five-year term <br />to hopefully, maybe there will be more sites that open up. We know what there was a special <br />permit issued for RT Service, just kind of a similar truck operation. That was a five-year term <br />that the Planning Commission gave them. So we’re just asking to see, you know, basically if <br />there was a wealth of Industrial or Commercial zoned lands that we could move to, then I would <br />say maybe, you know, we would agree with Mr. Yuen’s two years. But there really isn’t, not in <br />Waimea. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Galdones, follow-up? <br />GALDONES:Thank you. Well, question to Commissioner Iwashita. It seems that you <br />are representing the clients along this line of available property -. <br />MCCALL:Sounds like testifying. <br />GALDONES:I’m just trying to follow-up on the availability. How bad is real estate, for <br />this type of real estate, if you have any knowledge? <br />EXHIBIT C <br />7 <br /> <br />
