FUJIKAWA:Okay. Do I hear a motion? SPRINGER:Mr. Chair, before we move, could we sketch out if we do move to grant the petition for standing what comes next. It is determining whether the Commissioners as a whole is going to hear it or whether itÓs going to be outsourced; and then setting up a calendar for the hearing? FUJIKAWA:ItÓs a discussion between the Commissioners and the staff. Director, can you answer that. YUEN:Yeah, thatÓs exactly right. FUJIKAWA:Go ahead. MCCALL:Well, I guess, I will move that we grant standing to Mr. Ronald H. Fong and Dr. Bernard Fong in this matter. FUJIKAWA:Okay, do I hear a second. GRAHAM:IÓll second. FUJIKAWA:It has been moved by Commissioner McCall and seconded b Commissioner Graham that the standing be approved. Any questions? Go ahead, Commissioner Graham. GRAHAM:IÓd like a little advice from the Corporation Counsel, please. I had to run up and get a copy of a letter from Norman because somehow I couldnÓt find it in what I brought. But I donÓt see any explanation in the letter for how they are aggrieved or how theyÓre damaged or anything, other than the commentary we got verbally here today. So I was just wondering if that is a requirement of a petition for a contested case that you explain how you can be detrimentally affected by the application. FUJIKAWA:Any other questions, Commissioners? Corp. -. OÓTOOLE:No. FUJIKAWA:Counsel, you have any -? OÓTOOLE:Yeah, no. I mean thereÓs, the alternative is here in the form, that theyÓre claiming that their interest is distinguishable from that of the general public because they own the adjacent property; and I think that is commonly claimed. And then if they said no to that first question, then they would have had to explain how they were injured. GRAHAM:Yeah, my understanding is that that is necessary, that should be distinguishable from the general public. 6
