ISHIBASHI: Don’t push it. Go ahead, go ahead. That’s okay. FREDERICK: Thank you. If a two-year extension is granted and in two years time I’m sitting back here again, and we all are, and the Department of Transportation still hasn’t worked something out, does he get another two years? KERN: Madam Director? LEITHEAD TODD: He would have an opportunity to come and ask for another extension. And typically when we review things, if it is not the fault of the applicant but the fault of a government agency that he hasn’t been able to get approvals, we tend to recommend extension. If you’re familiar with, you know, some other State Department of Transportation projects, like the Queen K Highway in Kona, sometimes it just takes a long time for them to work out the details. KERN: It’s almost a proven fact in the State that the State DOT is slow as molasses. Thank you. Any other questions for the public testifier, Ms. Frederick? Seeing none, thank you. You may have a seat. Okay, I’m willing to entertain a motion. Commissioner Au? AU: Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move to approve the amendment to applicant Poloke Farms, LLC, Special Permit No. 09-95. KERN: Based on the Planning Department’s recommendation? AU: Based off of the conditions set forth, yes, and the Planning Department’s recommendations. KERN: Is there a second? GONZALES: I second. KERN: Okay, discussion? Any discussion? Commissioner Moses. MOSES: I would like to see where Ms. Frederick lives, based on the map that you have. DARROW: Sure. MOSES: If you could just show me. I’m just interested in that. DARROW: Okay. I believe her property is this property. So if we look at the, this would be, I believe, her residence. Is that correct? FREDERICK: Yes. DARROW: Okay. MOSES: And is there a residence on the left? 9 EXHIBIT A
