come we got this letter, we’re not doing it. Well, in case you do it, you’d better not do it. We was
<br />always under the intention of first acquiring a permit to perform this business – that was our intent
<br />from the get-go, from the beginning, we’re going to get aspecial use permit; if we get approved, we
<br />are open for business. But we was never doing repairs prior to that. Some people dispute that,
<br />because we have a lift, car lift there; the whole shop is set up like a mechanic shop ready to go.
<br />Give my son a car lift, and he’s got to play with it. So he put our cars on it, he put his friends’ cars
<br />on it, he put his classmates’ cars on it, I mean, you know, so people assumed that we was doing
<br />business. But we, in fact, weren’t. He was just playing with his lift basically.
<br />HOUSEL: Any other questions? Thank you for your testimony. You can remain where you are, if
<br />you’d like. Would anyone like to make a motion?
<br />BOWMAN: I would just like to make a comment before we make a motion. And I do believe, I’m
<br />glad that the Planning Director clarified the, I guess, discrepancy with the CDP and also the
<br />Waimea Community Association; it clarified in my mind why the denial was put out. But I would
<br />like to make a motion that we approve, but we need to make some conditions, so -.
<br />GIFFIN: That’s right. And so my question, Mr. Chairman, is of the staff and of the Director that if
<br />we make a motion that is contrary to what has been recommended, how do we go about including
<br />conditions that should be included, if we are going to do anything that’s contrary to what the
<br />Director has recommended.
<br />GONZALEZ: Okay, the motion, to get the discussion going, will probably be to approve Special
<br />Permit No. –whatever the number is – the grounds,because the Department has recommended
<br />denial, you’d have to supply your grounds. For example, you would probably make a motion
<br />saying, “move to approve Special Permit No. SPP 10-109 based upon the overwhelming public
<br />testimony in support of the application that the requested use may be unusual but is reasonable, is
<br />desired by the community and would serve the community, with the standard applicable conditions
<br />to apply to the special permit.” And if the staff needs time to come up with some of the standard
<br />applicable conditions, so they can read it for you folks to consider, I think they would be
<br />appreciative.
<br />GIFFIN: Okay, so maybe we should call for recess?
<br />HOUSEL: Well, I’d like to keep going, if we can.
<br />GIFFIN: Oh, I know, but if the staff needs time. We want to make sure that -.
<br />HOUSEL: Does the staff need more time to do this?
<br />ARAI: Well, I’ve been busy working away on the sidelines, but I do have some conditions that I’ve
<br />prepared. I can offer them for your consideration. And again, I’ll be just paraphrasing and
<br />summarizing, and if you allow staff the discretion, should this permit be approved, to fine-tune the
<br />language after the hearing. With that being said, some suggested conditions would be, like the first
<br />condition would be typical: The applicant, successors or assigns shall be responsible for complying
<br />with all stated conditions of approval. Condition No. 2 could be: Provide daily water use
<br />calculations as required by the Department of Public Works, and install a larger water meter, if
<br />required by the Department of Public Works. No. 3 is: Install a reduced pressure backflow
<br />prevention device as recommended -.
