theyre completely separated. Theyre both on the same piece of property. Theyre both- I think that they would do very well to get together and discuss this. Perhaps the intervenors and the 2 applicants can sit down and discuss this a little more. I think they can probably come to some sort of agreement on this and perhaps a contested case may not need to be necessary. But I think they need to, you know, I dont think trying to railroad this through the Commission is going to, I mean thats that feeling I get, is that to some extent that these guys just want this to rush through like were in, you know -. I get the feeling that theyre trying to put the, I dont know, just dump it on us that were holding back this progress, and I think that, you know, we need to -. I think that it would be good to have a hearings officer hear this. Let things get cleaned up and cleared up; and then we can see whats happening; and then make our decision. GALDONES:Thank you, Mr.- Commissioner McCall. Commissioner Graham. GRAHAM:I had a question. Mr. Vitousek, in light of what Commissioner McCall is sayingandall-IrememberontheearlierapplicationwhenMr.Fukehadmentionedthatthere th had been a double community meeting on the 7 of March which to me if thats the first official th community meeting on that application andits now only the 18 of March, obviously the application and the Directors work have already been in place before the community meeting. So I felt kind of rushed to me already. Im wondering on this application, have you folks had community meetings over a longer period of time that have, you know, worked their way into the particular application youve put forth already? VITOUSEK:Yeah, may I, I just got involved in this when the contested case hearing was requested. So may I ask Carl Sturges to respond to your question? GRAHAM:Please do. STURGES:Yes, we actually began hearings with the neighbors in the Fall, I believe the first one was in October. We held the second hearing in- meeting with neighbors in January, and we invited everybody around the block to come to both of those, and we had quite a large turnoutforbothofthose-bothofthosemeetings.Ivealsobeento2TrafficCommission hearings, 1 in December and 1 in January, to discuss the traffic issues related to this project, in additiontothat. GRAHAM:Thank you. GALDONES:Further discussion. SPRINGER:Question. GALDONES:Commissioner Springer. SPRINGER:Regardless of the ownership, can the 2 applications be heard together whether outsourced or held by the- heard by the Planning Commission? May they be consolidated or do they need to be held separately? 10
