So, we—the Applicants believe that what these particular uses is allowable under the permit. The Planning Director does not feel they are permitted and has issued a warning letter for the, for the particular use stating that the collectible sales business is not a permitted use in the State Land Use Ag District, or within the approved permits. We feel this is confirmed by Deputy Director’s Kokubun statement where he says, “I think one of the guidelines for us in terms of a special permit, one of the guidelines for the permission, is that the uses be fairly specific.” And that’s the way that usually when we have Special Permits come before the Planning Commission, they’re asking for a specific use. Again, he asked do you have a list of other uses that you would like to be permitted and the response was the only thing we had anticipated for was to use it for what we had mentioned, the weddings and continuing the town meetings. As a result of these discussions at the hearing, Condition 3 was added to specifically allow weddings, community and public meetings on the subject property. That concludes our presentation, but again, the Planning Department will continue working with the Applicants regarding compliance or noncompliance with the conditions. We—because of the fact that there is a disagreement regarding whether a use is permitted or not, we feel it was appropriate to come back to the Planning Commission and have the Commission make that determination. Thank you. MIYASATO: Commissioners, any questions for staff? IKEDA: Yes, I do. MIYASATO: Commissioner Ikeda. IKEDA: You know, maybe I, I misread this thing, but I read in here in two sections where it stated that the former owner of the property didn’t have meetings and things like that on his property. It was—am I mistaken? Did I misread it? DARROW: We—in Exhibit 9, or I’m sorry, yes, Exhibit 9, we had received a correspondence from Carlos Parisi, and with that correspondence were two letters from the previous owners, and basically they are stating that those events did not occur on the property previously. Additionally, thank you for bringing that to my attention, this morning, we did receive additional correspondence from Mr. Parisi as well as from the Applicant, and so those have been handed out. The Applicant submitted a response letter with items attached to that, and there were also two letters of support attached to that. Thank you. IKEDA: Okay, can I ask you another question? I—I remember reading somewhere that the street light wasn’t put in and the road condition was, wasn’t put in but it never stated it was completed or not. Was it completed? 4 EXHIBIT C
