HALL: —But you have to come to the microphone. <br />AWONG, D.: Those people who said, who Zendo said were in favor of the development, one is <br />a developer who was, told the neighbor she wants to develop there prior to them arriving. The <br />folks who live there now are simple country folks. They didn't even know about this. They <br />don't have email. They don't have none of that. Those are the folks who are saying they don't <br />want it either. They just want to keep our Big Island country lifestyle as it is. That'sI just <br />needed to say that. <br />HENKEL: Thank you, Mr. Awong. <br />AWONG, D.: You're welcome. Thank you for your time. <br />HENKEL: I would look for that motion now. <br />DELA CRUZ: So moved to close public testimony. <br />HENKEL: Is there a second? <br />CLARKSON: Second. <br />HENKEL: It's been moved by Commissioner Dela Cruz and seconded by Commissioner <br />Clarkson to close public testimony. All in favor say, "aye?" <br />COMMISSIONERS: Aye. <br />HENKEL: Opposed? Public testimony is closed. Now, we'll look for a discussion and a <br />motion to action. I have a little bit to say. Mr. and Mrs. Awong, I really appreciate you coming <br />forth and expressing your concerns, but, you know, it seems to be the biggest concern is the, the <br />maintenance and access of the road which I believe that the plan that the Applicants are putting <br />in place would remedy that and make it easier to drive big equipment in and out like you said <br />you had which are also hard on the roads, you know, as well as volume. <br />As far as the, the other comments about, you know, yoga and cults and stuff like that, II don't <br />really give that much weight. I'm a combat veteran whose life has been enhanced by practicing <br />yoga and meditation. So, anyway, that's my thoughts. Anybody else? <br />CLARKSON: Can we discuss without a motion? Should we have a motion? <br />HENKEL: I think we can discuss first and move. Is that right? <br />HALL: Either way. <br />CLARKSON: I'mif there's a motion for approval, I'm going to vote against it, and the main <br />reason is that I see Special Permits as being special. We're seeing a lot of them come through. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />12 <br />
