here. You can see the existing YMCA building on the right side of the slide, and then this is the church, the church property in this area here. So, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the Use Permit with conditions as we recommended in your report. And, so you should have the Background and Recommendation Report, and then we also did receive some comments from Water Supply after we mailed the report to you, and we would actually like to add one more condition in light of those comments from Water Supply. You see on your goldenrod recommendation, Condition 3 is related to water. It includes our standard backflow prevention assembly condition. We would like to add a condition right before that so it would be a new Condition No. 2. Or I’m sorry a new Condition No. 3 and then everything else would be numbered after that, renumbered after that. And the new condition would just, we would use our standard condition that kind of emulates, Item No. 2 in Department of Water Supply’s memo where they request water usage calculations, and there’s an existing meter on the property but it’s limited to 400 gallons per day, and so if, if the applicant submits water usage calculations and they find out that more water is needed, the applicant would have to enlarge or upgrade that water meter.

Okay, could I have the applicant come up please? Could you raise your right hand? Do you affirm and swear to tell the truth before the Windward Planning Commission over this matter? SAKAI: I do. FUKE: I do. ISHIBASHI: Thank you. Could you state your name and address for the record? SAKAI: Ian Sakai, 187 Ainako Avenue. FUKE: Good morning, Mr. Chairman. Sidney Fuke again, same address, 100 Pauahi Street. For your information, Mr. Sakai, is, he’s the pastor of the Waiākea Uka Bible Church. I’d also like to acknowledge the presence of the assistant pastor, Shane Miura, sitting in the back, and one of their more active members of the church, Bill Walters. Just to give you a little bit background about, on this situation, about two, two or three years ago, I was approached by the former CEO of the YMCA, his name is Fred Yamashiro, and so, he was 3 EXHIBIT B
