<br />ARAI: Commissioner Whittemore? <br /> <br />WHITTEMORE: Aye. <br /> <br />ARAI: Madam Chairwoman? <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Aye. <br /> <br />ARAI: Madam Chairwoman, motion carries with five aye votes. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Thank you. And thank you for coming before us this morning. <br /> <br />CORBITT: Thank you, Chairman, Commissioners, could I just say that we’ve never been to places <br />like this before, but we would never have got this far without the support of the Planning <br />Department; Daryn and Terry and the others in the Department have been very, very good to work <br />with. And we thank you very much for supporting our proposal. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: You’re very welcome. And thank you for acknowledging our staff. <br /> <br />COX: Coming from Washington D.C., working with Hawai‘i is wonderful. Thank you. <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: I’d like to comment that I’m very appreciative of the fact that you are an <br />actual working farm, that you are taking steps to clear out invasive species and replant them with <br />native plants, because we see a lot of people who come in and agriculture is a very, very small <br />component. The fact that you are harvesting in 15,000 pounds of avocado a year, that you actually <br />have agreements and distributors, is very refreshing. So I applaud your efforts to upgrade the farm <br />and continue farming on it. <br /> <br />CORBITT: Thank you, Director. <br /> <br />The discussion ended at 10:10 a.m. <br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> Noriko Sauer, Secretary <br /> Leeward Planning Commission <br /> <br />8 <br />EXHIBIT A <br />
