We have a request to defer <br />that. So if I could get a motion to defer with a second that would be great. <br /> <br />AU: Mr. Chair. I move to defer Applicant No. 3, Planning Director initiated. So moved. <br /> <br />KERN: To, do I have a second to that? <br /> <br />DOMINGO: I’ll second that. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay. And point of clarification, defer to when? When would be the best time? <br /> <br />th <br />ARAI: We have it scheduled for Leeward Planning Commission on March 15. Coming back to the Windward <br />is probably going to be at the call of the Planning Director. <br /> <br />KERN: Okay. Madam Director? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD Yeah, I’m hoping to have it next month. And this gives me in the interim an opportunity to <br />talk over the proposed amendments with an Ag Tourism organization and kind of get a little bit of their input <br />into it, cause they’re asking for a little bit of tweaking on the proposed draft that I have. And so, and I have also <br />some comments from R&D, from DI, DI. And so we’re looking at doing a few tweaks before we actually go <br />forward with a couple of amendments that they’re asking me to do. <br /> <br /> 1 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
