The other, I forgot to mention, I'm looking at the map right now but the site right now they have 2 access to the property. Two access that comes in from Manono Street. They are like 2 existing single-family dwellings; they are not in the best case. The applicant has already taken out building permits, excuse me, demolition permits for those right now. But he has not yet pulled the trigger on demolishing it yet. One of the homes right now, as I understand it, correct me Mr. Hamilton, is currently occupied and that person is doing some woodwork on that area in that so-called warehouse area. For those who are familiar with that area, that warehouse area has kind of morph into a whole different variety of types of industrially related use. I remember at one point in time was used to repair like lawn mowers and things like that. So, anyway it's that area and Mr. Hamilton in my discussion with him, he really concedes that the existing 2 residential structures is not really like the best and then at some point in time it should be demolished. So, having and maybe giving us a chance to take a step back and give us a chance to talk to the Rhoades and see maybe how if anything we can kind of maybe ameliorate their issues. Maybe we can't but, at least I think long story being short. I think we're asking that we don't mind having this application be continued to enable us to reach out to the Rhoades particularly and see what can be done. LIN: Thank you, Mr. Fuke. Commissioners questions, comments? Oh — HAMILTON: Yeah. LIN: Mr. — HAMILTON: You don't mind. LIN: Yeah, go ahead. HAMILTON: Just you know this isn't an investment property for us. We've had it for 20 years. It's been rentals and small businesses. I've lived in Hilo for fifty-five (55) years. So we farm up in Kurtistown. This is just a side thing for us. I feel it is a real eyesore, I know the houses. They're not habitable and we need to tear them down regardless and we do have our like Sidney said we have our permits approved. We are not intending, and we think we'll make the neighborhood better. It'll definitely look better than it does now. There is a homeless problem. I've continually kicked people out of the house. The police have been involved in it every time so, it's happening there. So, I want to get rid of that so that hopefully it cleans it up. So, that's our intent. LIN: Thank you. Commissioners any questions or comments? So, I know this road very well, like Mr. Fuke says. I actually grew up on Lanikaula Street, mauka, uh' Puna side. So, I know this property, I've driven past it, I've walked past it when I was kid and I look at proposed conceptual plan here of the building. I saw that there's 2 bays in there, loading bays. Is that correct? Or is that a roll up — HAMILTON: Right now the existing building just had roll ups in the front. LIN: Okay. 15 EXHIBIT B
