GALDONES:Commissioner Kubota. KUBOTA:Before we get into the testimony by the Applicants, can I ask you a question regarding the correspondence that we have received from the neighboring people, as well as from the Applicants and their supporters? They seem to speak, for different reasons of their own, favoring of the extension of the approval of this request for extension of time. Am I reading them correctly? GALDONES:I believe that some of the documents that you have received, the individuals who have submitted those documents will be testifying, and at that time -. KUBOTA:But generally they all speak, while for different reasons, they are not opposing the project itself, but there seems to be some unresolved problems that each of them see. So, therefore, an extension of time might give them a chance to resolve these or mitigate them? Am I reading them correctly, or am I coming from left field? GALDONES:I believe your assessment does generally coincide with what the individuals who have submitted those documents, what they are requesting. Some of them are either requesting a denial or to a continuance. Any further questions or comments? Could you please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this ` matter now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS:I do. GALDONES:Could you please state your name and your resident address, and please speak into the microphone because we'd like to have your testimony recorded. `` HOWARD:My name is Richard Howard. My residence is 2114 Ahapii ` Place, Honolulu, Hawaii 96821. GALDONES:Sir? MCELVANEY:My name is John McElvaney. I live in Volcano, at Post Office Box 1080. GALDONES:Okay.
