The Department would recommend opening the agency hearing at this time. And Mr. Chair, we do not have anybody signed up to testify on this particular item. I would recommend making a call for any further agency hearing testimony. Chair Mahoney: Is there any member of the public that would like to testify on this? Please sit down and state your name for the record into the microphone, please. Steven Sullivan: Aloha. My name is Steven Sullivan. I'm the Treasurer for Kanaka Aupuni a Niihau Aloha. Our architect just walked in. We're trying to put in a ... we recently purchased the facility. It has public utilities on it. And we're trying to put in a cafeteria to feed the children. Chair Mahoney: Okay. This can come up during the hearing, so you wouldn't have to testify right now. This is for any other member not related to the project that would like to testify. Mr. Sullivan: Okay. Excuse me. 4 Chair Mahoney: No, you're fine, but maybe you could testify later. Is there any member of the public that is not representing the applicant that would like to testify at this time? Could you state your name for the record, please? Unidentified Speaker: I'm sorry.

GENERAL BUSINESS MATTERS Stipulation for Dismissal with Prejudice as to All Claims and All Parties re CC- 2015 -8, TMK: (4) 2 -5 -002: 046. Mr. Dahilig: Item I. This is General Business Matters. This is a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice as to all claims and parties regarding Contested Case No. 2015 -8, TMK: (4) 2 -5 -002 Parcel 046. Just as some background for the Commission, this contested case was related to the additional dwelling unit sunset law that was recently extended by the Council, and given that the Council has extended the law and the application period, we believe that the dismissal of the contested case hearing is appropriate; it gives them the opportunity to reapply again. So we, both us and the opposing party, have agreed to this dismissal. It would require a ... I guess it would require an approval by the Commission for this particular action. Chair Mahoney: The Chair will entertain a motion. Mr. Keawe: Move to approve the stipulation for dismissal with prejudice as to claims and all parties, CC- 2015 -8, TMK: (4) 2 -5- 002:046. Ms. Nogami Streufert: Second. Chair Mahoney: It's been moved and seconded. Any discussion? Hearing none. All in favor say aye. (Unanimous voice vote) Opposed? (None) Motion carried 5:0. Thank you.

[Director's Report received 11/22/16.1 Mr. Dahilig: Item M. We turn back to Item F.2. relating to Class IV Zoning Permit Z- IV -2017- 1 and Use Permit U- 2017 -1, TMK: (4) 1 -3 -009 Parcel 001, Kanaka Aupuni a Niihau Aloha. We do have the Director's Report and Chance, who's been our Planner, will make the presentation on behalf of the Department. Chair Mahoney: Okay. Staff Planner Chance Bukoski: Good morning, Commissioners. Ms. Nogami Streufert: Morning. Mr. Bukoski read the Summary, Project Data, Project Description and Use, Additional Findings, sections of the Director's Report for the record (on file with the Planning Department). Mr. Bukoski: That will conclude the Staff s findings. Chair Mahoney: Any questions for the Planner? Ms. Nogami Streufert: If I could. So this kitchen is going to be a multi -use kitchen that will be, not just for the school, but also for a potential entrepreneurship. Is that correct? Mr. Bukoski: Correct. Since the west side of the island does lack facilities for certified kitchen for commercial use in the area, they will be giving an opportunity for other businesses and that type to use the certified kitchen to furthermore, you know, get their packaging and labeling done through a certified kitchen. So there's going to (be) opportunities for them as well. Ms. Nogami Streufert: Okay. Chair Mahoney: Any other questions for the Planner? Is there a representative for the applicant present that would like to speak? Thank you. Would you state your name for the record, please? Mr. Sullivan: Aloha. My name is Steven Sullivan. I'm currently the Treasurer of Kanaka Aupuni a Niihau Aloha. Our trade name is KAANA, Inc., which means to share. Basically, we received a USDA Rural Development Loan to buy this facility with the intent of putting a cafeteria in to feed the children of KANAKA Public Charter School; it's Kula Aupuni Niihau a Kahelelani Aloha Public Charter School. They weren't receiving lunches; hot lunches. It's a Title I School. So we purchased the facility with the help of USDA Rural Development and they allowed us to take the equity out of the building and have funding to be able to put in a certified kitchen for the children. We also have another use. There's a ... one of the churches in the area wants to use the kitchen for a soup kitchen, and there's other people that expressed interest in being able to use the kitchen as well. When we purchased the facility, the only laundromat in Kekaha was in there, but that did not work out, so we're going to renovate the old laundromat into this kitchen. Right now we're using a portion of that area to feed the children inside instead of outside. Chair Mahoney: Okay, thank you. Commissioner Keawe. Mr. Keawe: In your application under Section II on History and Purpose, you talked about KAANA's mission — is to provide economic development opportunities ... people of Kauai and Niihau through business development, management services, employment service, and education. Can you expound on that a little bit? Mr. Sullivan: Okay. Our mission is to educate people to the point where they can go to college or gain business insights, and we're just really basically starting out; this is our first purchase. But our goal is to help the school be able to produce high school graduates capable of going to college, and we currently have a couple businesses that are renting in that location and a couple more that left, but it's primarily ... it can be a dual -use facility. If the school needs to grow, then the school can grow into the size of the facility. If the school needs to downsize because there's not enough applicants, then it can be rented out to businesses. Our ultimate goal is to ... the school has a distance learning capability, so they are able to make it a higher education remote site. All that equipment's been proven to work with OHA. So our idea is that, eventually, once we can stabilize the place and get some hot lunches for the children, get them educated, and it'll be a generational thing that's there for the people of Niihau and Kauai. Mr. Keawe: One more. How do you provide lunches for the students now? Mr. Sullivan: Up until last week, they were bringing home lunch. My wife and I would prepare an `ohana lunch on Friday for them. Just last week the school was able to reestablish hot lunches with Kekaha School. Mr. Keawe: With Kekaha School? Mr. Sullivan: Yes. Mr. Keawe: Okay. Mr. Sullivan: We had had that before, but several years ago the Department of Education refused to supply lunches for public charter schools, which is our public entities that service the same children as the regular public, but we have a charter contract with the State; well, the school has a charter contract with the State to educate the children. Mr. Keawe: So with the certified kitchen, you can now participate in the National School Lunch Program? Mr. Sullivan: Yes. That is one of the reasons why the USDA Rural Development was behind this. We know that there's hurdles that we have to overcome in order to do that, but we should be able to work all through the issues once we have a certified kitchen to actually be able to reinstitute the National School Lunch Program. Mr. Keawe: And was I reading correctly? 98% of the students are Title I? Mr. Sullivan: Yes. And 86 °' Hawaiian. Mr. Keawe: Thank you. Chair Mahoney: Commissioner Streufert. Ms. Nogami Streufert: Since this will be a multi -use kitchen, for both the school as well as for a soup kitchen, will that present a problem of time utilization of the kitchen for the children as opposed to the soup kitchen? Or are there different rules...safety rules for things that are made for children versus for a soup kitchen? Mr. Sullivan: As far as ... I think the school is going to have a higher level of requirement and that'll be done through the week. We're planning on having an external refrigerator and not the walk -in freezer. We may have to decide, you know, what is acceptable (inaudible) to be used for the soup kitchen or whatever, but they're, right now, running out of a little, small kitchen and one (1) small, little refrigerator, so I'm sure that we could accommodate their use on the weekends, which is what they were planning on doing. Ms. Nogami Streufert: I see. So this is only for the weekends that you would have the soup kitchen? It's not a conflict during the school week? Mr. Sullivan: No. Ms. Nogami Streufert: Got it. Thank you. Mr. Sullivan: It would be used, basically, at times when the school is not in session. Ms. Nogami Streufert: Okay. Mr. Sullivan: So all summer it could be used. Mr. Ho: How do you plan to staff this when you build the kitchen? Are you going to ... it's not going to be `ohana staff, is it? Mr. Sullivan: No. The staffing is going to be left up to the school, primarily, because they're going to be the ones renting the facility, so the coordination will happen all through them. They hire State employees, so the school will be basically supplying the staff for that. Our non - profit doesn't employ people. We are all volunteers. Chair Mahoney: Any further questions? Mr. Katayama: Could you put a context of what the current enrollment is in terms of students? And then as you expand, what would it look like? Ultimately what I'm asking is in terms of a shared facility, if you are making the certified kitchen available for others to use in the 10 community, how does that impact what you need to do for servicing your students? Because I imagine that you would probably need ... because they're Title I, you probably need to have a breakfast, some kind of lunch service, and maybe even an after - school care sort of facility. Ultimately, you know, if you have that kind of utilization internally, how much of an economic impact are you anticipating from having third party commercial users in this? I guess is that a critical element for your kitchen? Mr. Sullivan: I don't think that that's a critical element that we have commercial ones. We were planning to open it up to the community for fundraising, like the soup kitchen; things that benefit the people of the community in general. We have plans to ... once the commercial kitchen is online, to maybe have a ... you know, Hawaiian ... you know, places where they can kalua pig or huli huli chicken right on the facility, and all approved by the Department of Health. And we can allow other people to come in and utilize those facilities, do fundraising, or if they have a commercial enterprise that really wanted to do it on a regular basis, we might be able to work something out. Mr. Katayama: Is this going to be fee - based? Mr. Sullivan: We haven't really looked at that. It's probably going to be donation - based. Okay? You come in, you donate a certain amount to the non - profit organization, which, in turn, turns it over to help fund the school, and you get to use the facility. Mr. Katayama: For my, I guess, education, is this different from a public school facility? Mr. Sullivan: It's different from a public school facility in that the public school is renting from the non - profit organization who is the owner of the facility. So in the past, they've been renting this facility since 2003, I believe, and renting portions of it, so the only thing that's really changed now is the ability for them to ... from our non - profit to use as much of the facility as they wish, up to the point of where the commercial buildings are; I mean, the current commercial renters are. And if they choose not to, on a yearly basis, use parts of the facility, then the non- profit is allowed to rent those spaces out to commercial entities or starting businesses and take that funding and pump it back into the school. So our whole goal is to support the school in whatever way they need to expand or contract based upon the population of the students in the school and make it economically feasible for the charter school to continue on. Mr. Katayama: So are those ... is that economics somehow identified internally in your organization that you need to have the ability to have third party users fund this? Mr. Sullivan: We don't need any ... at 100 students, the facility would be ... the two (2) businesses that are still there would remain there, and at 100 students, the facility would be 909 o utilized with classrooms and enough room for a preschool, which would be another 10 %. Next year, the school has funding to do renovations for a publicly funded preschool, so we're going to help them figure out a way to renovate it and get it up as a preschool, too. Mr. Katayama: So what is the age of your enrollment? What's the range? Mr. Sullivan: From Kindergarten to 12 right now. Mr. Katayama: 12th grade? Or 12 years old? Mr. Sullivan: 12`h grade. So that's up to 18 (years old). Mr. Katayama: And total enrollment? Mr. Sullivan: The enrollment this year is 52. Mr. Katayama: Thank you. Mr. Sullivan: And they have been as much as 75. Chair Mahoney: Any further questions? Okay. We have further... Mr. Dahilig: I guess Chance can read the recommendation on behalf of the Department. Chair Mahoney: Okay. Mr. Bukoski: Conclusion or recommendation? Mr. Dahilix Conclusion and recommendation. Mr. Bukoski: Okay. Mr. Bukoski read the Preliminary Conclusion and Preliminary Recommendation sections of the Director's Report for the record (on file with the Planning Department). Mr. Dahilig: Okay, thanks. Thanks. Chair Mahoney: Do you understand the conditions and will consent with it? Mr. Sullivan: Mmhmm. Chair Mahoney: Okay. At this time, would anybody in the audience like to testify on this agenda item? Would any of the children like to come up and...? There you go. (Applause) State your ... you can look at the microphone, and then pull it a little bit closer to you, and just tell us what your name is. Tavita Zion Kamaoha: My name is Tavita Zion Kamaoha. Chair Mahoney: Thank you. And what would you like to say? Mr. Kamaoha: I don't know what to say actually. I'm actually surprised. 12 Chair Mahoney: You're doing great. So what would you like to say?

You're doing very good. So you enjoy going to school and you're learning a lot of interesting things, and you would like this go to forth probably, huh? Yeah? Mr. Kamaoha: Yeah. Chair Mahoney: Okay.

(Laughter in background) We're in business mode. So if you can tell us your name, please. Keanu: Aloha. My name is Keanu. Chair Mahoney: Okay. And what would you like to say about your school? Keanu: I've been going to this school since I was 3 (years old) and I would like to have a cafeteria, and I love my school real good. Chair Mahoney: Great. That's fantastic. Thank you very much for your testimony. (Applause) Alright. Okay. Alea: I made some cards. Chair Mahoney: You did? Well that's great. And maybe the Director, you could accept those for the record.
