whats going on now, because there may be some relevance since it is, the current application is basically an extension of whats there now. SALAVEA:Thank you, Mr. Torigoe. Mr. Chairman, Id just like for the Commissioners sake, for my sake,for the applicant and the intervenor to identify what particular part theyre talking about when they start tossing around, where were not as familiar with this area as you are, you live there. So some reference to, this is, Im talking about the application property, Im talking about the existing commercial business going on, some reference for us to discern between what evidence youre giving so that we can, you know, put that in proper context. ALAMEDA:Point well taken, Commissioner Salavea. Thank you. Okay, were going to move on to our intervenor. Mr. Eger, oral argument? EGER:Yes. ALAMEDA:Proceed. EGER:Thankyou,Mr.Chairman.IperhapswasclumsybecauseIwasnt meaning to bring up the issue of landscaping. I was meaning to bring up the violation of the condition, because as I tried to make clear that is the substance of my problem and the problem of our community. We have a very good stack of petitions that were submitted. The property is described over and over again as an eyesore. Now if we want to talk about landscaping, I have very little to say because there is none. It is weeds along the entire face of, against Kaloli. There is no landscaping whatsoever on the other, on the backside, nor on the side away from Kaloli, whereas the requirement is that there will be perimeter landscaping, that is around the entire area. Landscaping is also by its nature taken care of, pruned, kept away from danger. Because where th it is on the corner at 13 and Kaloli it is a site hazard for those vehicles coming out of 13th and turning, trying to turn into Kaloli one way or the other. You cannot see the traffic on Kaloli. Now those are clear matters that can be satisfied quickly. However, again and again, my issue before this Commission is that unless conditions are enforced that they do no good for the community, the Commission or the planning for this County. And Ive heard some matters to that effect on your first hearing today. Conditions are set but there is no pattern for enforcement within the County. When this issue was raised about the landscaping to me early on by Mr. Schneider, I suggested that if he had a problem with the landscapingthathefileacomplaint.Thatisacomplaintwhichwasruledinviolationearlier. And when I inquired about that at the contested case hearing, if you had a chance to read that transcript,theysaid,well,wedonottestanyoftheseissuesonconditionsunlessthereisa complaint. Well, my suggestion to you, sir, is that people in general have no way of knowing whatthoseconditionsare.Thepublicdoesnotknowtheconditionsthatareplacedbythis Commission, by the Department of Planning on any of the, on the special use permits or on changeofzoning.Andtheyneedtobegivenmoreofachancetohavetheprotectionoftheir government when those conditions are placed. My suggestion to you relative to this concern and the way I want to bring it to your attention mostforcefully,acrossthestreet,acrossKaloli,thereisa20-acreparcelthatiszonedfor industrial. It is one of the few industrial zonings in East Hawaii. Now my suggestion is that 12EXHIBIT B
