<br />Boulevard with the subject property off to your right. Note the sign advertising this application, <br />and also note the width of the roadway as well as the paved shoulders fronting the property. This <br />is, along Kahakai Boulevard again, looking west this time, with the subject property off to your <br />left, and Woodland Center off to your right directly across the project site. And we’re looking <br />head on from Kahakai Boulevard at the subject property where the single family residence is <br />located here and the warehouse structure off in the back. And, this is just a view of the remainder <br />of the property that is immaculately landscaped. <br /> <br />The Director is offering a favorable recommendation for both the State Land Use Boundary <br />Amendment and Change of Zone requests subject to conditions of approval that will be attached <br />to the Change of Zone, the draft Change of Zone ordinance. I should note though the <br />improvement, the conditions are basically typical of a change of zone to a commercial zoning <br />district that includes improvements to the right-of-way fronting the subject property that would <br />require curb, gutter, sidewalk installation as well as pavement widening, and the dedication of <br />five feet of land to accommodate the widening to the County of Hawai‘i. But we made it <br />specifically clear that those improvements will be deferred for a period of five years given the <br />scope of the applicant’s proposal. So with that, I do not have anything else to offer at this time, <br />and I stand ready to answer any questions that you may have. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Okay. Commissioners? Any questions? Any questions of staff? Okay, seeing <br />none. Mr. Souza or his representative come up. Good, raise your right hands, please. Do you <br />swear and confirm to tell the truth before the Windward Planning Commission of this matter? <br /> <br />FUKE: I do. <br /> <br />SOUZA: I do. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Okay, thank you so much. Could you state your name and address for the record? <br /> <br />SOUZA: My name is Jerry Souza. My address is 15-1447 Kahakai Boulevard. <br /> <br />FUKE: Good morning, Mr. Chairman and members of the Commission. My name is Sidney <br />Fuke. My address is 100 Pauahi Street directly across of this building. I’m here assisting Mr. <br />Souza on this matter. Just to give you a little bit background, Mr. Souza and his family, as the <br />staff had indicated, they live on the property. That’s their property home right now, and he had <br />an industrial accident, and as a result of an industrial accident, he’s no longer able to do what he <br />once, you know, what he was doing, which was a tow business, tow truck business. So, to help <br />supplement his income, he was basically doing smoked pork, good smoked pork, great <br />Portuguese sausage, and you know all those kind of stuff, but his major liability, you know, he <br />doesn’t have like a commercial kitchen so he’s not able to sell it at farmer’s market or you know <br />do any commercial, you know, stuff but maybe you know on the side he can sell like you know <br />for five dollars a bag, you know that kind of stuff. But, so, his intent is essentially to be able to <br />construct a commercial kitchen within the existing warehouse building. So we had, originally <br />you know when he approached me, he said oh you know maybe we can do a home occupation, <br />so we tried to do a home occupation only to find out that the property is in the State Land Use <br />Ag district so because it’s in the State Land Use Ag district, then home occupation is not allowed <br />3 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
