GONZALES: Very good. Ms. Tita. <br /> <br />TITA: Hi. Susann Tita. I am the, in opposition to the special use permit. Actually, I’m not <br />even sure why we are here hearing this or looking at this when this is on a permit that’s expired. <br />I am not, I am confused by the fact that we’re doing an amendment to an expired permit. With <br />that being said, there has been opposition from not only the difficulties I faced with the Hawaiian <br />Acres farmers’ market which is ongoing, never stopped, continues, with blocking the roads. <br />There is inadequate parking. There is inadequate facilities. And they’re operating out of a <br />facility that has an expired permit. It doesn’t have an occupancy certificate. It’s, was a problem. <br />I asked the association in the very beginning when they first started with the farmers’ market. <br />Could you please not block the road. I went to several meetings, and I was told that they weren’t <br />going to do anything. If they, they have nothing to do with roads. <br /> <br />Here’s a clear picture (photo circulated to Commissioners). It shows you there is no parking. <br />This is not parking. This is a road. So, it continues to go on. It hasn’t stopped. I think it was <br />just two weeks ago I had to call the police and ask them on their free food issue, to ask the free <br />food people to move their cars off the road. It got really bad in the, towards the end of their <br />farmers’ market where they deliberately put product right onto the pavement part of the road. <br />And you could not get an emergency vehicle down there. It, it doesn’t enhance our community. <br />There were issues where they actually had folks, one guy in particular, was selling marijuana <br />plants. And we stopped on our way out. We being my husband and I, and asked him to not sell <br />those plants. My husband knew him. <br /> <br />Even in their blog, they state, the Hawaiian Acres Community Association, that they’ve shooed <br />away drug dealers, broken up fights between adolescents and pulled kids down from the swings <br />and children running and darting in front of the cars, as well as the animals. That, just had that <br />problem like two weeks ago, so it’s never stopped. It goes back to the point that why are we here <br />on an expired permit. <br /> <br />Now, I retained an attorney to assist me with this, and I’m being blocked from using her, and I <br />don’t know why. <br /> <br />GONZALES: Thank you, Ms. Tita. Any questions? <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: Yeah, just a quick one. Ma’am, where do you reside? I don’t recall where <br />you reside in relation to the site that we’re discussing. <br /> <br />TITA: I am down the road, so I have to drive through this gauntlet down past the community <br />association. <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: How much down the road? <br /> <br />TITA: Oh, I don’t know the exact count. How many miles or how many meters or how many <br />feet that I am down the road. <br /> <br />HEAUKULANI: More or less than a mile? <br />3 <br />EXHIBIT E <br /> <br /> <br />
