way to deal with the traffic, it would be a lot easier for myself to swallow. But this kind of segmentation feels, lays one uneasy about the whole thing. So Im- obviously youve had to deal with the same issues, so Im just wondering how you are dealing with that issue. YUEN:Well, we certainly did know and consider that there were these 2 applications, and we are recommending both- approval of both of them knowing that- and with expectation that both of them will go forward. We definitely- were not saying, were not thinking, well, 1 is okay and put the blinders on, and the other one is okay, but the 2 of them wouldnt be okay if you looked at them together. And we are recommending approval of both of them. I understand it is an odd situation but there is this division between the- there are 2 entities that are involved here, the School Board and the School Trust. So, and they have 2 different programs and 2 different applications coming in. And Im glad that we at least have them- theyre being heard together, theyre on the same agenda. We can look at them together and consider the objections together. If you go ahead and hire a hearings officer, well have the same hearingsofficerforthe2becausemostofthetestimonyisgoingtobeacommon-theissuesand testimony will be common to- to both of them but we definitely looked at these as being together and considered the impacts as well. GRAHAM:Thank you. GALDONES:Commissioners, any further questions? If not, Sharon, before I excuse the gentlemen, we did not get their addresses. Is it necessary for us to record their addresses? NOMURA:No. GALDONES:That wont be necessary- okay, gentlemen, thank you very much. YUEN:And Im sorry but I- I have to go. But before I go I want- this is my last meeting that Ill have with 2 Commission members, Francis Smith and Earl Fujikawa. They have been great public servants during all these years with the Planning Commission. I wish I was there to shake your hand at the very end of your very last meeting but since this is my only chance I want to again express my thanks and appreciation for all your service over these years. (applause) GALDONES:Thank you, Mr. Yuen. Commissioners, we have before us a petition for standing in a contested case hearing that was submitted by Linda Copman. Ms. Copman. Ms. Copman you have been sworn in earlier so youre still under oath. Is there anything else you would like to add onto what you have already said prior to us considering your petition? COPMAN:No, I still live where I live. I think I still have a standing. GALDONES:Okay. Thank you, Commissioners. Do you have any questions of Ms. Copman. Commissioners, motion is in order. Oh hold on- Im sorry, back up. Mr. Vitousek, do you have any comments in regards to the petition for standing? 5
