So, with that, I'm going to call the first testifiers. We have Chad Ha`a, Gene Tamashiro, Barry
<br />Jingold or Gingold, Gingold, and Ryoko Osako.
<br />TAMASHIRO: Chad, he's not here. He left already.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Okay, Chad Ha`a is not here. We have Dwight Vicente?
<br />AUDIENCE MEMBER: He's not here.
<br />RAFFIPIY: He's not here?
<br />TAMASHIRO: Dwight's not here.
<br />RAFFIPIY: And, Jose Romero. I believe the other three [Tamashiro, Osako, Romero] are
<br />already sworn in this morning. The only one is to swear in isdo you swear or affirm to tell the
<br />truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission?
<br />GINGOLD: I do.
<br />RAFFIPIY: Thank you very much. We'll begin with Mr. Romero first and then going down
<br />here. Please speak directly into the microphone so your voice can be recorded. Thank you.
<br />ROMERO: Well, my concerns are the fall back. He said it was 200 feet or towards the next
<br />house, but what about the, my property line? It's under, it's almost in the 100 feet of my
<br />property line, so the thing will fall right on there. I know if you guys go back and show the
<br />pictures where the tower is going to be built and the radius around, it's right in the like the red,
<br />the red zone is right in my property, on my property line, so you know, it's like right there.
<br />Also, I just want to go by the by-laws. I know he said that they had a board meeting of the, for
<br />the contract, which according to the by-laws of the association that I gave you guys copies onI
<br />don't know if—it says the meetings will be held three times a year on February, June, and
<br />October, and that's the members. That's the members' meetings, and there was no, there hasn't
<br />been no member' meetings hold [sic] since then. So, that tower should have been announced at
<br />the members' meeting so members could attend at the board for the, for the decision to go
<br />forward. Now, the board of directors is under litigation so the board is, doesn't exist in HPP
<br />anymore, which takes me to, well, it's a private, it's a private association composed of multiple
<br />owners, 12 miles, square miles of it, and also when you say the building site, the building site is
<br />not lot number whatever you assigned that. It's HPP because that's the private zone. It is in
<br />HPP's ground, and everybody, every owner around HPP pays their road fees to maintain the
<br />area, so it's a, it's a community place, not just owned by the general manager or whoever they
<br />want to put.
<br />So, proper notice was not given to all the people in HPP about this, and the, the boundaries for
<br />the sign is now Maku`u. I provided another document that states that Hawaiian Paradise Park is
<br />a private, privately owned, and all roads within HPP are private—on 2.4 description of County
