Home

I do have an issue with debating whether or not if 20 percent was the amount of being donated, clarified, constituted a concert. I just don’t want to see this getting into where this permit is being amended. And I’ll say if, well, I’m not sure what to add at this point to that. But thank you. KERN: Commissioner Au. AU: One comment that I want to make, we dealt with this last year and now we’re trying to deal with it again -- for us Commissioners we’re going back and forth on what we can or what we cannot do. And, you know, whatever decision is made everybody has got to live with it; and, you know, I just don’t want to see it again. FREDERICK: Another concern, thank you. Another concern, I don’t want to see that again either. And one of my concerns is that despite the wording of the permit, despite being advised against having events until the conditions of the permit were satisfied, Mr. Anderson has continued to hold events. He nd had one most recently April 22. Now this was a party at which the music was loud enough that I could hear the music. So as the Planning Director indicated enforcement is definitely an issue. I think that quite possibly, I think it’s quite likely that no matter what definition you come up with there are going to be more musical events where I will be affected. And I don’t want to be calling the police every time I hear music. They don’t want me calling them every time. It’s a waste of their time. I think the enforcement is a real, I think enforcement is impossible. My preference is that the wording of the permit stay the same. I do wish there was a way to enforce it. I haven’t been able to. There has been, as you’re aware I have made complaints. Each time I made the complaints the police that responded notified the participants to either lower the music or shut it down when it was after hours. The most recent one I believe was after midnight. So there have definitely been abuses along the way of the permit conditions that have been granted. I don’t believe, this is kind of going maybe outside of the scope, but my concern is that the requirements of the permit haven’t been met. He has been advised, Mr. Anderson has been advised to stop holding events until permit conditions were satisfied and yet events have been allowed to be held. So I really have major concerns that this will be ongoing. And it’s unfortunate that the wording isn’t stricter because this is why this debate is happening right now. So this will continue, I’m positive. And I’m not trying to be antagonistic to anyone. I just, you know -. I’m all for supporting charitable events. I think there are more venues to host these events. It’s not like where there aren’t other places where these events can be held. There are other venues, like the Honokaa People’s Theater, that are more appropriate. If I wasn’t, if my husband and I weren’t living on the property, of course, you know -. I mean obviously I’m the only one affected by it. It also affects our property values. If my husband and I decide to sell our house we’re going to have to, I don’t remember what the phrase is but -. PUBLIC: Disclose. FREDERICK: Thank you, disclose the information that I live near a property where you can hear live music whenever an event is held. And I don’t think I need to tell you what kind of an effect that will have. But I’m clearly affected by this. And I don’t want this to be ongoing; and I definitely would like some kind of resolution that -. Anyway, I’ll stop there. Thank you. 22 EXHIBIT A
