<br />VITOUSEK: Right now, yes, this is between the Commission, but if someone would like to ask <br />further questions, I’m totally okay that. <br /> <br />DEFRANCO: So are we allowed to ask is there a way for him to look at the project again <br />because of the opposition that we’re encountering with people and with land designation of the <br />type of land it is if they would reconsider the design of this project. Do we ask that kind of a <br />question? <br /> <br />VITOUSEK: Of course, you can ask that. <br /> <br />DEFRANCO: Okay, so, are you there Mr. Metzler? He’s not there is somebody there from. Hi, <br />you would have to unmute your thing. But Mr. Metzler I’m just asking if looking at everything <br />that’s before us in an understanding that you’ve met with a lot of the traffic things and the <br />discussion of the flood thing. But the question is not of course wanting to change the character <br />of Waimea and that the CC&Rs are not developed enough for us to understand what your <br />proposals are. I mean is your way to re-look at this project with you a little bit. <br /> <br />METZLER: Well Ms. DeFranco, I don’t know, I’m not a Land Planner. I’m depending on my <br />counsel to advise me. I think my intent is being either misread or misunderstood. The message <br />that I have always received from the neighborhood is a little bit larger lots could be used for ag, <br />and everybody wants to keep Waimea, Waimea. So, I think if I was giving instructions to my <br />counsel, who is helping me plan the project I probably would have given those instructions to <br />them. If, on the other hand the Chair or the Committee or anybody else would rather see 7,500 <br />square-foot lots and small houses then that’s fine. I wouldn’t want to do it that way, I wouldn’t <br />want to live in a neighborhood that was like that, but if that’s what it takes to create housing for <br />people in Waimea that’s what we’ll do. <br /> <br />DEFRANCO: That’s my― <br /> <br />METZLER: Please, I just want to note two quick things. I started getting opposition letters from <br />the Planning Department and I got about maybe 30. All of them were from the TMT opposition <br />people. So, I went on the Instagram site, I think your instincts and other instincts here are <br />absolutely correct. I went on to the Instagram website and I took the time to read every one of <br />them, and then I thought well I‘ll try to offer some positive comments. So, all of those <br />checkboxes that you see on every one of those opposition Instagram posts. Every one of those <br />are part of their choice. So, they can choose or not choose any of them. Most of the people <br />chose all of the bad things or the things that they think are bad about the project. And after you <br />do that and you get ready to sign out, you can actually go to the bottom, and say these are my <br />other comments. <br /> <br />So, I tried to put a positive comment on the TMT website and guess what? Unless you click one <br />or more of the oppositions points the site won’t let you offer anything positive. Nothing! So, if <br />Mr. Vitousek or Mr. Bertelmann, or Mr. Lindsey or any of the old family people that we all <br />know from Waimea and we’re all friends with. If they tried to do anything positive it wouldn’t <br />let them, so all you’re seeing there is, as you said just some group of various members from all <br />over the place in opposition. And lastly, I’m sorry to take up so much time, I asked if Ms. Sauer <br />24 <br />EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
