meeting in Hilo and come to find out you’re not ready. You understand what I’m saying? Now I guess what I’m saying is if there’s no way you can come to an agreement with Shipman we’re going to decide the land use issue. We’re willing to do that, right? I said that. We don’t want to decide the legal issue though, right? Because I don’t think we’re equipped to do that, yeah, as far as access is concerned.But you would have to work with the Planning Department in the event that you’re going to throw a special permit on the table. Cause Shipman already has said that if you throw the special permit on the table I’m gone, right, I’m done, you don’t have to negotiate with me any further. So it’s up to you guys now. Do you want to continue this to the next Hilo meeting or until such time that it’s ready to be deliberated? FUKE: I think that, you know, if the special permit is the appropriate route that the Commission and the staff believe would be, you know, acceptable then, you know, that’s a route that I think would be acceptable to the client. However, bearing in mind that, you know, as was represented in the application the intent is not only the bottling plant. He wants to be able to continue to utilize the underutilized structures in that area. And so if the special permit could be expanded to include only that component and eliminate the future subdivision and the more intensive use that, you know, Mr. Walter and Mr.Yeh had raised, you know, relative to an industrial zoning, then -. WATANABE: Okay. Then, you know what, let’s not put a timeframe then when we will continue it to, or would you prefer that we put a timeframe till the next Hilo meeting? FUKE: Well, you know, the timeframe to do what? That’s my question. I mean, timeframe so that the applicant can decide on whether to do a special permit, or continue with this application, or timeframe until there’s a deliberation or some determination on the access or what? That’s what I’m trying to get at. WOODWARD: Mr. Chairman? WATANABE: Yes. WOODWARD: If I might ask Mr. Torigoe, cause this came up just recently with the Kohala LLC in deferring for, you know, a change of zone application for an indefinite period of time. And there was some provision where if there was information or pertinent information that this could be deferred for a longer period of time than the usual 60 or 90 days. Maybe you could rehash that for us just a little. WATANABE: Mr. Torigoe? TORIGOE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Basically your Rule 11-3 on rezonings, as you know, basically requires that you make a decision within 90 days after receipt of the application from the Director, unless a longer period is agreed to by the applicant. So if the applicant is agreeable to putting it off for whatever period of time, then you can do that. WATANABE: That’s what I thought. So actually that’s all I’m asking you, is when do you want to defer to? SULLA: Can I address this? WATANABE: Yes, I guess I’ll have to swear you in, I’m sorry. SULLA: Okay, very good. EXHIBIT C 18
