<br />The Planning Director is recommending approval of both the SMA and the Special Permit with <br />conditions. There is a condition that the Planning Department did place in here that’s kind of <br />unique. This is actually located within the Special Permit application. And, the main reason for <br />this condition is to just try to minimize traffic along Wainaku and have patrons or clients be <br />advised by the applicant to access the facility from the highway onto Wainaku and avoid the <br />actual Wainaku area. Currently, if you’ll, if you visited that area, you’ll know that this area of <br />Wainaku has school kids that go in this area going to Ha‛aheo School as well as there are speed <br />bumps in the area to minimize traffic in that area. So, this is Condition No. 6. <br /> <br />Additionally, we’ve had several items of correspondence come in since the application has come <br />th <br />in. Number one, is a letter dated May 27 from the Department of Transportation. Number 2 is <br />thth <br />a letter of support received May 29, I’m sorry, did I say March? I meant May 27 for DOT. <br />And lastly, this morning, we’ve received a letter from Garrett Kim in opposition to the request. <br /> <br />With that, that concludes our presentation. <br /> <br />MOSES: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions of staff? <br /> <br />DARROW: Thank you. <br /> <br />MOSES: Okay, will the applicant or their representative please come forward? I’m going to <br />swear you in. If you could raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this <br />matter now before the Planning Commission? <br /> <br />BUGADO: Yes. <br /> <br />FUKE: I do. <br /> <br />MOSES: Please state your name, the area you reside in and proceed. Please speak directly into <br />the microphone. Thank you. <br /> <br />BUGADO: My name is Cheriess Bugado. My home is in Honomū, and my current spa is in <br />Wainaku. <br /> <br />FUKE: Good morning, Madam Chair and members of the Commission. My name is Sidney <br />Fuke. I’m a, here more as a moral support to Ms. Bugado. She called me about, about last week <br />to plead with me to please be here to kind of help answer or respond to any technical questions <br />which, since I’m just across the street, decided to come and be her moral support. <br /> <br />So, I kind of shared with her like, you know, traditionally what’s, you know, how the Planning <br />Commission, the processes, the protocol, so she has had a chance to review the staff’s <br />Background Report and the proposed conditions, both on the Special Management Area as well <br />as the Special Permit and found them to be acceptable. I’d like to also note that I, in kind of <br />preparation for my being the moral support over here, I did review her application, and I found it <br />to be quite honestly, quite well done. So, I was very happy to see that. <br /> <br />4 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
