<br />MECKLENBURG: Kaapu. <br /> <br />KERN: Kaapu. <br /> <br />AU: Excuse me? <br /> <br />MECKLENBURG: Mr. Kaapu. <br /> <br />AU: Oh, sorry, sorry. Sorry, Mr. Kaapu. But, you know, I’d like to hear what they have to say about <br />our discussion. So can we do that? <br /> <br />KERN: Yeah. Would you please come forward. Go ahead. <br /> <br />KAAPU: Just our comments. Would you like to hear from my client first? <br /> <br />KERN: You can ask -. Commissioner Au? <br /> <br />AU: You know, we’re going back and forth and we’re talking about marketing and we’re talking <br />about all this. You are the neighbor and I just want to hear what you have to say about this whole <br />thing, you know, from the very start when we were back here last year and then you’re here again. So, <br />you know, maybe if you can just talk about it. <br /> <br />FREDERICK: Thank you. <br /> <br />KERN: Name and district you represent before you begin. <br /> <br />FREDERICK: My name is Joanne Frederick, and I live on Mudlane, and I guess I’m technically on <br />the Hamakua side of Mudlane. I’m not quite sure where to begin. I’m glad that you agree that the way <br />that the most recent event was billed did appear to be a concert. I did not have problems with there <br />being music associated with a benefit. My main concern has to do when I can hear the events. And, <br />unfortunately, because it is open pasture primarily, not 100 percent but primarily, the music does carry. <br />And I understand that there is a condition set by the, of noise limitations that are set by the Department <br />of Health which is to help address that concern. I will say whenever an amplified event is held, I <br />should say on several occasions that amplified events were held I have heard the noise from there. <br />That’s when I made my complaints. And I would say at those times they were also after the hours <br />specified in the permit. If they can have music at a fund-raising charitable event I don’t have a <br />problem with it if I can’t hear it. A concert as you were discussing where it is being billed primarily as <br />the musical event I do have an issue with. But I was glad that the wording was in the special permit. I <br />didn’t think it needed further clarification. <br /> <br />It’s always awkward for me on the spot. It’s not my area of being comfortable. But, again, if, I would <br />say I felt that the wording concert was relative clear. Certainly when the music is the primary function <br />that would be a concert. <br /> <br />21 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
