<br />ONO: You want to repeat that? <br /> <br />C. GREENLAW: Over half of the existing warehouse is Michael’s personal workshop. Sorry. <br /> <br />ONO: Okay. I was just wondering just what opportunities would you have to sell things if you <br />were. Thank you. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Commissioner Henkel. <br /> <br />HENKEL: You know, just the fact that he could sell the business without the physical place, you <br />know, being a part of it indicates that it’s not light manufacturing. It’s a service business. I mean <br />I would ask, I think there has been some kind of confusion over, you know, what qualifies as light <br />industrial and -. I mean if you’re a plumber that goes out to people’s houses and fixes sinks and <br />stuff and you park your truck in your garage, is that garage, does that warehouse have to be a <br />light industrial zoned building, or is it just where you park your equipment? You know, it’s -. <br /> <br />COTTLE: Right. So if you’re just parking your vehicle there, then you’re just parking your <br />vehicle. But if you’re storing supplies related to your plumbing business, if you have some pipes, <br />some fittings here and there, then, and you take those from your property to a job site, then <br />you’re basically running your plumbing business for storing -. <br /> <br />HENKEL: Most plumbers their truck is their supply store -. <br /> <br />COTTLE: Right. <br /> <br />HENKEL: I mean it’s full of fittings and pipes and so forth. You can’t do the job and have to <br />go, you know, to the plumbing store every time. You keep stock on hand. But I don’t, I don’t <br />think they fall under the same specifications. <br /> <br />COTTLE: So their supplies are all contained within their vehicle is what you’re saying? <br /> <br />HENKEL: Well, to a large part. <br /> <br />HONG: I just kind of, that illustrates the difference between rules, regulations and laws that <br />appear black and white and the reality of, you know, basic living and trying, in trying to do a <br />business. I mean I think that you would be, on a monthly basis when you meet you always <br />encounter these circumstances where what’s written in black and white doesn’t quite fit what the <br />people are doing in terms of -. You know, they’re not intentionally violating any zoning rules or <br />regulations. But the reality of human beings in terms of how, what’s going on, doesn’t quite <br />exactly fit. And this is one of the circumstances. When we were invited by the Planning Director <br />to submit a justification based on the use in the light industrial categorization, that’s what we <br />th <br />submitted earlier. And so when we got this letter of December 4 from the Planning Director, I <br />really didn’t see that as a rejection of our justification or saying that our justification was <br />7 <br /> EXHIBIT C <br /> <br /> <br />
