testify on this agenda item, please raise your right hand so I may swear you in. We have <br />someone from the audience, Francis Young? Jung? <br />JUNG:Jung, Madam Chairman. <br />SPRINGER:Okay, thank you. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter <br />now before the HawaiŸi County Planning Commission. <br />TESTIFIERS:We do. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Mr. Jung, did you receive the Planning Department€s <br />background report and recommendation? <br />JUNG:Yes, I did, Madam Chairperson. <br />SPRINGER:Do you have any comments to make at this time? <br />JUNG:Yes, Madam Chairperson, Members of the Commission. First of all, <br />thankyouforcomingtoKonatobewithustoday. <br />SPRINGER:Ofcourse. <br />JUNG:The comments that we have made are in our written submission, which we <br />have filed with the Commission, and I believe they€ve been distributed. We have no intent to <br />prolong the testimony. We know you have a very busy schedule today. I would only say that we <br />agree with the recommendations of the hearing officer. Only one clarification with respect to the <br />findings of fact, and that is that the applicant Mr. Rod Imming who is here today along with Phil <br />Davis is the owner of the property. The findings of fact from the hearings officer indicated that <br />he was the developer; Mr. Topliss was still the owner. The transfer of the property actually took <br />place in May of 2004 and Mr. Imming is the owner. Other than that our comments are all in <br />writing placed before the Commission. And we€d be pleased to answer any questions <br />concerning the development or the concerns of the Commission that you choose to place before <br />us at this time. Thank you, Madam Chairperson. <br />SPRINGER:You€re welcome. Thank you. Commissioners, do you have any questions <br />of Mr. Jung or his colleagues at the table at this time? Commissioner Graham. <br />GRAHAM:The intervenor filed a contested case. It seemed like one of his biggest <br />considerations was his concern about damage during construction. And the last time around <br />when his condominium project suffered some damage with a different development nearby, <br />which he was not able to certify, was caused by that additional construction. Myself in my heart <br />I feel like we kind of owe it to him to have a way to substantiate if any damage should come <br />about this time. So I€m wondering, I know Mr. Imming you have a civil engineering degree and <br />all like that, if you folks have some suggestion for how the County or whether the method that <br />might be for him to sort of have a before and after so that he can kind of certify that any damage <br />that comes really came about from what went on next door and was not there previously. I just <br /> <br />
