RHO: I don’t -. WATANABE: For the record? RHO: I don’t have any objections, but I did want to, I thought we were going to proceed a little bit further, so I reserved my comments. And if it’s okay with the Chairman, I’d like to share my comments, so that – I’m assuming that we’re going to vote for this motion – that at the next meeting the applicant is prepared. WATANABE: Oh, by all means then, yes. RHO: I just wanted to share a few things. One is that I have serious concerns about the 20-foot setback, that’s No. 1. No. 2, I have serious concerns about the parking, especially in light of our last – I think it was our last Kona meeting, it might not have been the last – it was the D-Bar case. Part of the reason for it being held up as long as it did, I think, was the parking; and they came up with a solution. And I think, if I may say this, that part of the reason why it was successful was because of the parking changes that they made. I don’t think this case or this applicant is any different from D-Bar, even though D-Bar was considerably larger. But this project is in a place where parking is at a premium just as D-Bar was or is, White Sands, Magic Sands. This is at the Banyan Tree surfing spot. So I’ll just leave it at that. They are -. WATANABE: Then I take it your recommendation -. RHO: Concerns that I have. WATANABE: Yeah, then I take it your recommendation is that they attempt to revise the plan to put in it as many parking stalls as possible, or at least be prepared to explain why it’s not -? RHO: Yes. WATANABE: Thank you. We got that. Okay, so then it has been decided it’s going to th be continued. You may be seated. I guess we’ll see you at the December 12 meeting. YEH: Thank you, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission. KILGORE: Thank you. The discussion ended at 11:23 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Noriko Sauer West Hawaii Secretary EXHIBIT B 17
