Ranch and that therell be an industrial park in Waimea in thattime. Maybe five years is too long but I think two years is too short. You could start construction of a project like that and its just, its not going to happen within a two-year period. And, you know, were going to be coming back in two years and thats, yeah, certainly your prerogative. I mean, we would love to have an industrial-zoned area to go to. I dont believe in two years its going to be there. SPRINGER:Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Im not specifically aware of Parker Ranchs plans, nor do I know that Parker Ranch is the only alternative. But I will go for three years, but I feel five years is excessive. SPRINGER:So, Mr. Graham, are you recommending then that there would be anamendmenttoCondition2? GRAHAM:Iamrecommendingthattheperiodbesetatthreeyearsinsteadof five; and if thats Condition 2, that is certainly what Im recommending. SPRINGER:Mr. Mooers, youve heard the discussion at the table and I understand your preference. Do you have objections? With that understanding, do you have objections to Condition 2 being amended to three years? MOOERS:I understand the concern. I guess what Id like to see is if theres some way we could do as part of the annual report to the Planning Director, that is to have it for five years, and in the annual report that wed be required to indicate any industrially-zoned land in the Waimea area that may be available; and that maybe at that point if land is made available, that we have a certain period of time to relocate to that land. I mean, I understand what Commissioner Graham is trying to do, that is he doesnt want this to be an endless permit, and I share that concern. But, at the same time, I dont want to see the endless process of reapplying for the permit as well. So I dont know if the time limit is, or if it, maybe we ought to be looking at a different trigger, the trigger being when industrial-zoned land is made available. Id be interested to see what the Director has to say about that. YUEN:Im fine with the condition that says that in five years or when industrially-zoned land become available in Waimea, whichever comes first, and that the Applicant shall give an annual report about the availability of industrially-zoned land. SPRINGER:Should -. YUEN:And, Im sorry, we would also have to give the Applicant a reasonable time to relocate, not exceeding a year. SPRINGER:Mr. Darrow, that would be amending Condition 2, is that correct? 10
