is following the rules. If you build something like that, I don’t think any person would live in <br />that as their residential house. Okay? Let’s be honest. Who is going to live in that kind of <br />place? There are no walls built in that entire structure. It’s entirely open so they can pull those <br />trucks up there any time, any size, however number. I mean, there have been as many as three, <br />three pump—three of those pumper trucks in there. All I’m asking for is that applicants play by <br />the rules. Mike Tokunaga, that was mentioned in the, in the application, he did that. It took him <br />a while to get through the Planning Commission for that and various other agencies, but you <br />know what? It’s fine. You go through the process. You play by the rules. Big Island Candies, <br />you know, they—I don’t know, I wasn’t around when that happened, but you know, when you, <br />when you get zoned properly, that’s the way you’re supposed to do it. You don’t go ahead and <br />build what you want and then retroactively ask for permission. That’s wrong. And if rezoning <br />is, in fact, an important process in this community, you should not be allowed to benefit from <br />doing what you want and then retroactively going back. That’s all I’m trying to say. I love <br />living in a neighborhood that has lots of different things. I don’t want to live in suburbia. I want <br />to live in a place where I can walk to the restaurant. I mean, what better way to get to Miyo’s. <br />You just see whether the line is long and go in. I mean, that’s what I want. That’s why I don’t <br />live way up you know in, in Kaūmana or Waiākea Uka. I like living in a place where you can <br />walk to things, so I don’t have any objections to having commercial development around. It’s <br />just the process, and that’s what I’m asking you folks to do. Make sure that people follow the <br />rules and think it’s important because otherwise, why have the rules? <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Commissioners? <br /> <br />MOSES: Ms. Kimata, appreciate your comments and your letter and bringing it to the awareness <br />of the Commission. Listening to the Planning Department and Jeff’s explanation, it sounds like <br />unfortunately, they did follow the rules, what rules are set up, and the process to follow. What <br />the intention was? Questionable. <br /> <br />KIMATA: (from audience) That’s what I’m saying. <br /> <br />MOSES: Absolutely, there’s no doubt about that. You—you demonstrated that. But, they did <br />follow the process, and whether they’re loopholes, whatever maybe the Department needs to <br />look at that more clearly, they followed it nonetheless. And so with that, I’d like to move that a <br />favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council on the application for a Change <br />of Zone, REZ 14-000174, based on the Planning Director’s Recommendation and proposed <br />conditions with the condition that Mr. Fuke suggested to change in Condition F. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: A second? <br /> <br />ONO: Second. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Moved by Commissioner Moses and seconded by Commissioner Ono. Is there <br />any discussion? If not— <br /> <br />7 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
