term nature of this, its not going to change the agricultural character of the neighborhood. I will point out that the land next door, even though they are 8,000 square-foot lots, I think, is zoned Ag-5, and there really isnt agricultural activity taking place on those 8,000 square-foot lots. So I dont believe the application diminishes the agricultural potential of the community; and I think that the Background Report and Recommendation by the Department addresses that. There was a comment made about operations in the evening; and Id like to ask the Applicant if he could address that since he lives there. I think he knows what that situation is. So, David, could you talk about the operations? MCCOLLOUGH:Yes. At 4 oclock in the evening, my employees leave with their trucks, they take them home. The calls are handled by cell phone cause its forwarded to one main person. He dispatches people out there out on the highway all night long, early mornings.Intheeventthatwedogotoanaccidentcallandthevehicleisbroughtback to our storage facility late at night, they just drive the truck in, park it, jump into another vehicle and leave. The next morning theyll unload it, secure it, and take care of business. I have strict rules that there is no noise at night. I dont want to upset anybody around me. So when I heard about this petition about noise, I was caught off-guard cause we dont make noise; and I would have addressed that situation with my neighbors if they would have brought it to my attention, which they have not. So thats what happens. MOOERS:Could you talk about a couple of -? MCCOLLOUGH:I found out that one of my neighbors, which is, I believe, his wife is here. I spoke to him when I found out about the petition; and he informed me that the concern was that they didnt want it turning into an industrial park like Sand Island on Oahu; and I told him that wasnt my intention. My intention was to stay in business long enough until the Kamuela Industrial Park opened and I could move. At that point, he was a little bit at ease, knowing that that wasnt going to be a permanent issue on my property, and that I just needed to be there until there was a suitable area to go to. And it was nice of him to speak to me about it; and I was glad I was able to answer his questions. And he did inform me that somebody would be here to make sure that thats what was going to happen. SPRINGER:Commissioner Siracua? SIRACUSA:You mentioned the Kamuela Industrial Park. Has construction begun on that? Is there a timeline? Youre asking for five years. Im wondering if thats going to be ready in less than five years, possibly, you know, then we could consider a permit for a shorter period of time. MOOERS:The Parker Ranch has industrial zoning up by the airport by Garys Automotive. Weve had conversations with the Ranch for quite sometime and in order for them to subdivide the property, theyd have to make significant infrastructure 4
