The scary thing in my opinion though is setting a precedence for a bunch of small places to be opened up and kind of having this haphazard, you know, sporadic zoning. So in the event that this does move forward in an approval way, I donÓt think it should set a precedent in that. I think the GP needs some work, the General Plan. I think the CDP needs some work so it opens it up to more smaller entrepreneurs. Because, you know, especially in Puna and Big Island, weÓre the, you know, a lot of the ones that are funneling money into the economy. And IÓd rather see somebody have a little store than file bankruptcy, or something like that, you know. So, yeah, itÓs pretty much my opinion, so you know kind of where IÓm going with it. If anybody else wants to say anything about it -. WOODWARD: Well, I think if I might suggest that we have a motion so that everybody can, we can have discussion and get everybody involved. So would somebody like to make a motion? ISHIBASHI: IÓll make a motion. WOODWARD: Yes, Commissioner Ishibashi. ISHIBASHI: In regards to MichaelÓs and JoyÓs special permit application (SPP 10-106) I move to accept and make a recommendation to the County Council. WOODWARD: This is a special permit which would be approval. Correct? LEITHEAD TODD: Yes. This doesnÓt go to the County Council. If you approve it then itÓs approved. ISHIBASHI: Motion to approve the special permit. WOODWARD: All right. Do we have a second? KERN: Second. WOODWARD: Okay. COTTLE: Excuse me, Mr. Chairman? WOODWARD: Yes, Maija. COTTLE: If the Commission is going to recommend something different than the Planning Department, they need to provide reasons for that recommendation. WOODWARD: Right. WeÓre working on that. LEITHEAD TODD: And weÓll also have to come up conditions. 15 EXHIBIT A
