except through a special permit. So, he said, well you know, should we go through a special permit, but then given the proximity of all of the commercial areas, and all that stuff, so it just didn’t make sense to go through a special permit, you know. Upon advice of the staff, he said well, why don’t we just take it through the longer process of going through the change of zone and state land use boundary amendment, so this is pretty much that where we are right now. The staff’s proposed condition and the background report, you know as always, is accurate. We feel the conditions are fair. Given the situation as Mr. Arai had explained that you know there would be a five year deferral on when the land fronting his property would be subdivided and then conveyed to the County with full improvements of curb, gutter and sidewalk, I think, you know, that’s reasonable because at this point in time, what he wants to do is put up the commercial kitchen within this building and so at some point in time, there is going to be a new structure coming in, then you know obviously, you’ll be able to you know wind in your loan together with the construction of the curb, gutter, and sidewalk section so we think that is reasonable. So, with that, Mr. Chairman, if any questions that the staff may—oh, the Commissioner may have, we’d more than happy to answer. Sorry, we don’t have any samples today--. ISHIBASHI: First Thursday every month we’ll be here. Okay, any questions Commissioners? Seeing none, anybody from the public would like to testify? We have no one signed up at this time. Okay? So, we have a motion in order. Commissioners? ISHIBASHI: Yes, Brother Henkel. HENKEL: I think Mr. Souza’ plan is a good fit for Pāhoa and Puna makai in general so I would like to make a motion to amend the land use boundary, SLU 13-000039 from Ag to Urban and to change the zone which is R, REZ 13-00171 (sic) from Ag-1 to Village Commercial. ARAI—Um, Mr.-- ISHIBASHI: Yes-- ARAI: I’m sorry, Mr. Chair, if it’s okay, could we take the motions one at a time starting with the State Land Use Boundary Amendment. See if that passes and then we can do the rezoning. HENKEL: Okay, do I have to say it again? I will. I’d like to move to amend the land use boundary from, which is SL (sic) 13-000039 from Ag to Urban. ISHIBASHI: Okay, there’s a motion made by Commissioner Henkel. MIYASATO: Second. ISHIBASHI: Second by Commissioner Miyasato. Open for discussions? Seeing none, take the vote. Thank you. ARAI: Mr. Chairman, I’ll take the vote. Commissioner Henkel? 4 EXHIBIT A
