<br />believe this would fall within the 3,000 and 6,000 square foot minimum which would be a
<br />12,000 gallons of water available for fire fighting.
<br />
<br />IKEDA: That’s what I think it was, and I think they only have 10,000, so that’s my concern.
<br />
<br />KANUHA: Well, you have the option of either, you know, there’s two systems here, right? I
<br />mean, there’s the catchment system for either potable or non-potable, plus the additional
<br />requirements for fire flow because of the type of facilities, facility this is. How we’ve covered
<br />that is under Condition 6 without being specific, you know, which he gotta comply with all of
<br />the rules and requirements, so that’s what they would have to do in order to meet the fire flow
<br />requirements.
<br />
<br />If your concern is for additional capacity over and above the 10,000 gallon tank that they have,
<br />you know, there’s no problem accommodating that as long as we have some, some better idea of
<br />the threshold that you’re thinking of, you know.
<br />
<br />IKEDA: Well, you know, they’re also, they were considering of putting in a tank also so they
<br />could put in an additional tank now, you know. To me, it’s the cost of doing business to make it
<br />safe for their guests, so you know there’s, there could be a condition to put in a 12,000 capacity
<br />water catchment for fire, fire use.
<br />
<br />KANUHA: So, what you’re asking is, I mean, you know, there’s no issue in adding the
<br />condition. We just want to make sure that we got the wording, you know, properly configured
<br />so—why don’t you give us a couple minutes, Mr. Chairman, and I’ll go work something out with
<br />staff.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Okay, I guess just for clarification, are you requesting that this tank be on their
<br />property as opposed to what they’re mentioning as a—
<br />
<br />IKEDA: Yes, what they’re proposing because they’re proposing of using their neighbor’s
<br />catchment. I have a concern with that.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Okay. Let’s--five minute recess.
<br />
<br />Chairman Miyasato called a recess at 10:11 a.m., and the meeting was reconvened at 10:19 a.m.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Okay, let’s call the meeting back to order.
<br />
<br />KAY: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. So, we came up with some, some language to put after
<br />Condition 5, and the language states that the Applicant shall provide sufficient on-site water for
<br />fire-fighting in compliance with NFPA 1-UFC which stands for Universal Fire Code, or Uniform
<br />Fire Code, sorry, prior to the establishment of the bed and breakfast operation. So, that’s, that’s
<br />the language that we were able to come up with.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Okay, do the Applicants have any comments to this proposed language?
