ALAMEDA: But I’d also like to make one note that my Corp. Counsel shared with me at the recess, was that we don’t have to formally close the hearing unless it’s a contested case. And sometimes it might be good not to close the hearing cause then we could go back to our applicants and have them clarify some questions that we might have. And so in this particular case I’d like to do that right now. I know Lani you had your hand up for something. Is that a big comment that you’d like to share or -? Just real quick, go ahead, share your comment. R. IIDA: I just want to say that when I went to the Planning Department about buying a property and rezoning, they asked me what my purpose of buying a property and I say beauty shop. And one of the worker was telling me why you want to buy property and change to beauty shop, just go to Downtown and just open a shop, or can do it at home. Why you want to -? I mean, they have no idea. I don’t believe home occupying doing business and home same place. I mean, I have two kids and they running all over the place. And even though partially I’m living on the property I bought, I really believe that business and living have to be separate for the children, you know, safety. And maybe people looking at me like, oh, she can do it home and just, you know, why she want a rezoning? I am not trying to sell it or I’m trying to make huge company out of it. I have a couple of girls like me looking for place to running a business and they don’t know where to go. And I really want a helper to work with me, have a nice parking lot, and not so busy and not in Downtown, not in Keaau -- something right in, you know, KTA is such a nice location -- and around there they don’t have nice location that we can work with. Looking around the barber shop, I mean, they have no place to park. People ask me go to Downtown somewhere renting upstairs. I mean I don’t even know you getting around Downtown, and people keep pushing away -. Doing hair is not big deal for them but for me all my life doing hair; and I have a couple of girls they looking for a place to renting it out. Home occupy only can ask for one part time in doing this and doing that. I’m not trying to run away like 10 or 20 hairdressers, maybe a couple more hairdressers that really looking for a place working with me. You know, clean and nice place. That’s the only reason I’m doing this. And lot of people asking me do the home occupy and do the barbershop in Downtown somewhere, but I totally disagree with the home occupy. ALAMEDA: Okay, all right. I just wanted to make sure that you could get your last final opinion. Okay, we have any motions? We have a recommendation by the Department, so just to know that if you go against the recommendation and go in favor then we’ve got to get some reasons behind that, yeah? Commissioner Iwashita, oh, conditions, yeah? IWASHITA: I move as to Item 3, Application Jinsoo and Ran Hui Iida (REZ 07- 000073), Change of Zone from Single Family Residential 10,000 square feet (RS-10) to a Neighborhood Commercial 20,000 square feet (CN-20) for 23,559 square feet of land, etc., that the Commission forward a favorable recommendation to the County Council with conditions, and I’m going to just sort of scrounge off of the prior application. And they would be: A. Delete B. So C would be B, water commitment. C is construction of the proposed improvements in five (5) years. D would be what’s F. I’m not sure that a EXHIBIT C 14
