DARROW: Okay— ISHIBASHI: Try go back to that picture we had. Construction started already? DARROW: Correct. They do have a building permit for a proposed addition to a single family dwelling. ISHIBASHI: Thank you. Okay, can the applicant come up, please? Good morning. SIMPSONS: Good morning. MIKKELSON: Good morning. ISHIBASHI: Good to see you again. Could you raise your right hand, please? Do you swear and affirm to tell the truth before the Windward Planning Commission over this matter? MIKKELSON: I do. SIMPSONS: I do. ISHIBASHI: Thank you. Go ahead. Can go. Can you introduce yourself and address, name and address for the record? SIMPSON: I’m Alison Simpson. I’m from 29-3825 Pueo‘ihi in Hakalau. SIMPSON: And I’m Randy Simpson. It says Donald on there but I go by Randy, and the same address. MIKKELSON: And I’m Lori Mikkelson. I live in Laupāhoehoe. So-- ISHIBASHI: You reviewed all of the conditions and— MIKKELSON: Yes, we have. These folks have really put their heart and soul into their property and a lot of money. And they’ve done a lot of planting. You really couldn’t see from the overhead picture of what they’ve done. There’s a lot or work that’s been going on there. And I was teasing him yesterday about his farmer tan that he’s gotten. You know, their idea is to have a place that is country, and have a place where guests could come and be quiet and in the country and get away from it all. That’s their idea. Also, speaking for myself, I live also in the country and occasionally we have guests that come to our house to stay, and we end up with more people then we have room for. And rather than having them to go all the way to Hilo, it’s nice for them to be able to stay close by. So, that’s just my thought on that. ISHIBASHI: Thank you. Anything you want to say? AUDIENCE (Perkins): I wanted to say something. 3 EXHIBIT C
