Low Density, and it should be kept Residential. But look what’s happening, you know. <br />And then when we ask ourselves what about the future of the whole Hilo area, where <br />would other Urban expansion take place, you know, where will this Urban expansion <br />take place? We’re talking about the University of Hawaii Hilo Campus. And we’re <br />talking about the development of that area to provide for commercial uses for the students <br />who go there and those who live in the proximity of the University. So, you know, you <br />will find demands and the need to consider for other expansion, commercial businesses, a <br />commercial expansion. And I see that this particular area that we’re talking about will be <br />part of that, certainly will be part of that expansion of Medium Density which would <br />provide for commercial uses. So I see no reason, and I think this application is in line <br />with what the future of Hilo would be like. And to deny them this opportunity is, I don’t <br />feel that I should be a part of that. Therefore, I would still speak for the favorable <br />recommendation of this application. <br />ALAMEDA: All right, let me, I know everybody had a chance to put their <br />opinion in the pot, except Commissioner Ogata. I just wanted to offer the opportunity if <br />you had anything. If not, that’s okay. <br />OGATA: I applaud the applicants for doing their part in their community to <br />make the property that they purchased, you know, a better place. And I don’t think that <br />there’s anything wrong with what they’re doing right now as far as a home occupation <br />and running the salon out of their property. I am having a struggle with changing the <br />zoning just because we can’t, at least I don’t believe that we can stipulate that they can <br />only do the salon there. I mean, other things can happen. And I don’t know, so anyway, <br />that’s my area right now that I’m struggling with. But I do hope that they can continue <br />what they have done. <br />ALAMEDA: Okay, again, I’m kind of ready to put the cover on the opinion pot. <br />But Commissioner Iwashita, any comments? <br />IWASHITA: I just wanted clarification on the record. <br />ALAMEDA: Sure. <br />IWASHITA: The notice was posted properly in this case, Jeff? <br />ALAMEDA: Mr. Darrow, was the notices posted properly on this agenda item? <br />DARROW: Correct. <br />IWASHITA: And the mailings to the adjoining owners were done within the 500 <br />feet, that was all done? <br />DARROW: Both notices went out to the surrounding properties. <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />13 <br /> <br />
