of activity in a, on land that was clearly designated as Ag such as this one, and I just wanted to-- <br />such as this property here. Thank you. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: I’d like to bring up the Applicant. <br /> <br />LEHNERT: Good evening. I’m John Lehnert, Secretary for— <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Could you raise your right hand, please? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth <br />in this matter now before the Windward Planning Commission? <br /> <br />LEHNERT: I certainly do. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Please state your name and residence. <br /> <br />LEHNERT: My name’s John Lehnert. I live on 3 Road, near C, 16-1352 Ho Pue Street. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: There was just mention of the unpermitted buildings and conditions that were laid <br />out. <br /> <br />LEHNERT: Yes, what happened there is I believe because of the gradual turnover of Board <br />members, not always, every bit of information gets passed on, and by the time I came on the <br />Board in 2004, nobody on the Board knew anything about the permit or that it had lapsed. There <br />are, were several others who have also been on the Board ten years or longer and did not know <br />anything about this lapsed permit until the complaint about the market. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: So, with these proposed conditions of permitting the building and having all <br />parking on-site, is that the plan for— <br /> <br />LEHNERT: Yes, and as far as I can tell, there is plenty of room. We, most usually, when we <br />did have market, we had four or five vendors and it was by far more a social event than a <br />commercial one. And, I don’t know where this figure of a hundred people comes from. I have <br />never seen a hundred people anywhere near that property. The most I’ve ever counted there was <br />48, and for most of the times that we had the market, I would guess maybe 25 people or 30 at the <br />most were present at a time. And, during that time, we tried to expand the market, and we were <br />not successful. We advertised through 4 or 5 different venues, and we offered free coffee and <br />pancakes, and the market did not grow. So, I don’t see why it would grow, but we tried to <br />provide for the possibility. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions for the applicant? Thank you. We <br />have one more testifier. Diane Winslow. Could you please raise your right hand? Do you swear <br />or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai‛i County Planning Commission? <br /> <br />WINSLOW: I do. <br /> <br />MIYASATO: Please state your name and residence. <br /> <br />19 <br />EXHIBIT H <br /> <br /> <br />
