("Petitioner") requests that <br /> it be granted standing in this contested case. The Petitioner, along with many <br /> property owners, citizens, persons interested in responsible government and <br /> Councilperson Rebecca Villega, have being involved in this case for more than <br /> six years. <br /> By its decision, the Hawaii Supreme Court "turned the clock back to <br /> 2016," back to when the commission held its first and only public hearing in <br /> SPP 16-000188, and has given the commission a second opportunity to <br /> execute its duties under the law. The questions before the Leeward Planning <br /> Commission and the answers to those questions are set forth below: <br /> (1) Should the commission grant the Petitioner's request for <br /> standing? Yes. <br /> (2) What is the exact nature of the activity that is before the <br /> commission in SPP 16-000188? A flood control project that is augmented <br /> by other activities. <br /> (3) What is the legal effect of the Planning Director's September <br /> 21, 2016 letter on the commission? None. <br />
