BEAUDET: Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Commissioners, any discussion or <br />questions of the applicant? <br /> <br />SHIMAOKA: I have a question. And this may be, I’m fairly new on the Commission, Duane, <br />what’s the chances are of allowing exceptions to the rule? <br /> <br />NOBRIGA: \[Inaudible\]. <br /> <br />SHIMAOKA: Yeah, I realize that. But considering the fact that, like what he stated, that the lots <br />that surround him, you know, are in the middle of their properties. So, I’m just throwing it out, as <br />far as how much can of worms this is going to cause us. <br /> <br />KAHOLO: I get one. You stated that there is a CRC in place with the other lots in your statement <br />here --. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: You know, Commissioner Kaholo, it probably would be good for the Director to <br />address Sonny’s first, and then we can go from there. <br /> <br />KANUHA: Thank you, Commissioner Shimaoka. The way I understand your question is, I’m <br />going to answer but basically saying what we provide you is a recommendation, okay, so based on <br />what we provide you, based on what the public testimony is presented to you, then the Commission <br />can make a determination whether or not to accept the recommendation or provide a contrary <br />recommendation, okay? Either way, our recommendation and the Commission’s recommendation, <br />it goes up to the County Council and they make the final decision on the matter. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Go ahead, Commissioner Kaholo. <br /> <br />KAHOLO: Okay. Yeah, in your statement I see you had some CRC for properties above you. <br />Okay. Now, is it fair that we say yes to you and those guys can’t because you already got it in their <br />paperwork? <br /> <br />C. LIPPS: I believe that if someone wants to subdivide their --. <br /> <br />SAUER: Please use the microphone, I’m sorry. <br /> <br />C. LIPPS: Oh, I’m sorry. I believe that – that’s a good question, I haven’t really thought it through <br />per se so much outside of my own situation, so I see where you are going – but I believe that if <br />someone has a property that’s allowed to subdivide according to this, you know, what I understand <br />is for a family member, then that meets the intent, because I believe that land is so expensive that <br />these, a lot of these young people, they are never going to be able to have a place. <br /> <br />KAHOLO: Tell me, I live in Kohala and Kohala is expensive. <br /> <br />C. LIPPS: Right. It’s, they don’t stand a chance. So, I don’t know, it’s a big-picture problem that <br />there is no real simple answer. One other thing I forgot to mention, too: I know there were three <br />letters of opposition, but I also had, it should be mentioned, I had eight letters of support from --. <br />11 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
