permits had been in fact done and everything had been done, so that it basically brought them back in. Because typically when we do these special permits they run with the land and you don’t have time limits. I’m actually considering in many cases taking a look at time limits on special permits, because I think it’s an effective tool to review whether we made a right decision and whether it’s operating in accordance with the conditions that we’ve placed on some of these. Because once you issue them sometimes they’re very difficult. But in this case it was basically because I wanted to have the applicant have an opportunity to go get the rest of their, you know, ducks lined up so to speak because there are other things they need to do; and it would give the Commission an opportunity to come back and see whether they had in fact complied with all of the requirements. WOODWARD: All right, thank you. Let me just kind of explain where we are right now. We do have one person from the public signed up to testify. And Mr. Gonzalez would like us after we finish this part to go into executive session so he could discuss some legal issues with us. So if there aren’t any further questions, fine. We do have one person from the public to testify; and then if the Commission is in agreement we’ll go into executive session. Are there any further questions for the applicants? OGATA: Can I, just one more question. WOODWARD: Commissioner Ogata. OGATA: If it turns out that there needs to be Department of Health credentialing and certification, or whatever it is, and if it turns out that there needs to be Department of Education involved or whatever, then would, how would, I guess maybe I’m thinking aloud but – that would be a whole other issue as far as providing school to minors and minors under care of a program or facility. So -? CHU: Right. There’s a lot of other issues that -. This is, like I said this is Step A. We need to get through Step A and we will address Step B and C, if there is Step B and C. It’s probably not a school but there might be some Department of Health issues. WOODWARD: All right. Thank you. You all may be seated. And Mr. Jeff Silva has signed up by from the public to testify. All right, sir, if you’ll raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? SILVA: I do. WOODWARD: All right, if you’ll give us your name and address and then begin your testimony. SILVA: Hi, my name is Jeff Silva. I live in Wood Valley, Kau. My mailing address is PO Box 201, Pahala. I own properties approximately three-quarters of a mile from their property. There’s a large parcel that separates my parcels from theirs. I actively farm and I have an orchard on those parcels. So I am in that area quite regularly and actually farming. 20 EXHIBIT B
