meets a, you know, the home, this is my home, okay. And the decisions you’re making
<br />today is going to affect us. The beeping buses will be within 30 feet of my dining room
<br />table. The part in moving buses and beeping buses will be, now think about this for
<br />yourself, 68 feet from my bed, okay, from my pillow. And remember 70 decibels will
<br />wake up most people. Now who is to say and what reason would I actually believe that
<br />these folks, although nice people and I understand where they’re coming from because I
<br />actually have a business as well, okay, who is to believe at this point, and I’m getting
<br />ready to show you, that these folks will actually follow the rules? I don’t believe it. And
<br />I’m asking for your help here. I do not believe that this area is, there’s community,
<br />there’s commercial neighborhood zoning I think. I just can’t believe that this is the intent
<br />of what you’re trying to do. Big Island Candies shouldn’t have been there, this shouldn’t
<br />be there. And, also, that little area in between the Manono and Hinano is not very big.
<br />So I think you’re addressing the fact that there just needs to be one coming and going.
<br />But still in all, has anybody done a traffic pattern study? I see people hauled out to the
<br />hospital all the time off of the Hinano Street, you know, area. You’re going to pull a bus
<br />out into a turning lane, you know, maybe you won’t have any people in it, maybe it will.
<br />Okay, so those are my concerns there. So I don’t believe, in summation, before I show
<br />you the photos, I don’t believe the plants on the property will reduce the noise or the
<br />unsightly view, which is terribly unsightly. And I did not give them the plants.
<br />And then, also, I want to make another point, a final point, according to Mr. Usagawa
<br />who I’ve spoke with numerously when the citations were sent, and I did get a copy of
<br />that, those, when they were sent to Green Tours it was to be, there was to be no buses on
<br />this property until this is rezoned. Okay, it’s not about, oh, I think today I’ve got to by
<br />and pick up some paperwork or I forgot something. What makes you believe if they
<br />couldn’t follow those rules, if they’re going to follow anything else? Okay? And, let’s
<br />see, so with that -.
<br />ALAMEDA: Can I ask you how long will that presentation take? Is it -?
<br />MCCRARY: I’m done with the presentation. This won’t take but a minute.
<br />ALAMEDA: All right, go ahead.
<br />MCCRARY: This won’t take but a minute. Okay, this right here, in fact, I tried
<br />to really staple these together last night. The buses have gone along, this right here is,
<br />and I can pass these (photos) around. This is, these were taken on 9/26 at 8 o’clock in the
<br />morning, Sunday morning, Sunday morning. And the photograph there shows the
<br />newspaper there which you can confirm that’s 8/26/2007. This is way after you folks
<br />have sent the citations. So, you know, this isn’t fair. The rules are not being followed.
<br />And you’re going to, if you approve this, you’re going to leave me having to fight this
<br />alone. Okay? That’s 8/26.
<br />Now then let’s talk about what happened. So then I complained again and then
<br />Mr. Usagawa said, you know, I’ll call the lawyer. They’re not supposed to be doing this.
<br />It’s not about doing it for five minutes. It’s following the rules. Again, I’m a business
