FARWELL: So how am I supposed to respond to this public testimony? <br />TORIGOE: Well, if the Commission feels that it is necessary to reopen a public <br />hearing and take further testimony from the parties, then the Commission can do that. <br />FARWELL: So you had a public hearing when we took the evidence to begin with, and <br />now we are having another public hearing where more evidence is being taken but yet I’m not a <br />party to it. <br />TORIGOE: Strictly speaking, it’s public testimony. If after you hear the public <br />testimony, you feel that there is a need for you to respond to it or present evidence, you can make <br />the request of the Commission. <br />FARWELL: Okay. <br />GRAHAM: Do you understand, sir? <br />FARWELL: Okay. <br />GRAHAM: Could you sit back now? <br />FARWELL: Certainly. <br />GRAHAM: We’ll just take the testimony, and go forward. And I apologize for <br />reading the names wrong on the signup sheet. I had the one from our last meeting, and the one <br />from today’s meeting is the same length but it’s different people, and I read the wrong one. So <br />let me try again from today’s hearing. I have Walter Andrade, Cynthia Northrup, Marianne <br />George, Marlene Celinski and Daniel Jackson.So thank you for bearing with me here. Could <br />you all raise your right hands, and I’ll swear you in at this time? Do you swear or affirm to tell <br />the truth in this matter today before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: I do. <br />GRAHAM: Thank you. And maybe I’ll start with my left. And when you begin your <br />testimony, just give your name and your address first, and pick up the microphone and speak into <br />the microphone. And as I indicated, it would help us if you are just concise and clear, and we <br />can move forward. Thank you. <br />CELINSKI: Okay. My name is Marlene Celinski, and my address is – it’s a P. O. Box <br />but – I live down on Middle Keei. And I’ve known Michael and Greg for the last couple of <br />years. I’ve been a frequent visitor up to their Ka`awa Loa Plantation since they moved in. And I <br />think their proposed B&B is a perfect thing for them to be doing on this property. I’ve seen what <br />they are doing with their property as far as clearing the land, replanting, and trying to, you know, <br />do the best they can for the land. So I just want to say that I’m in total agreement with what they <br />are doing, and don’t see any objections. The other thing is that Brad’s website – he also has a <br />vacation rental – and on his website he talks about how peaceful it is on his, which is right next <br />EXHIBIT D <br />3 <br /> <br />
