HAYASHI:Chair Galdones? <br />GALDONES:Aye. <br />HAYASHI:Motion carries. <br />GALDONES:Mr. Fuke, you will be informed in writing when the hearings officer will <br />be selected, and the process in setting up the contested case hearing will be set forth at that time. <br />FUKE:Thank you. And we do understand that the Department has certain <br />procedures that it needs to go through to hire a hearings officer. However, we respectfully <br />request that, you know, there€s some measure of urgency both on- not only on this application <br />but also on the subsequent applicant because the Trust would really want some measure of <br />determinationquickintermsofwhattodowiththebalanceoftheirexistingwarehousefacility. <br />The next applicant, you know, which is also- is going to be potentially the subject of a contested <br />case here, also looking about expanding their school, and they need to make some basic <br />decisions. And, as such, you know, to the extent it can be accommodated we would respectfully <br />request having the hearing conducted as soon as possible and perhaps the Staff can also indicate <br />or share with both the- the Contestants like what is involved in a contested case hearing. <br />Because as much as possible, you know, it€s the applicant€s goal to obviate a protracted hearing <br />and to reach a win-win situation. We€ve made that effort and perhaps maybe we need to go a <br />little bit more. But, hopefully, if there€s room for compromise on both sides, it would obviate <br />the need for a contested case hearing. But not withstanding the applicant€s motivation and <br />wanting it moved forward, I think that if the Department can push it up, you know, we would <br />sincerely appreciate it. <br />GALDONES:Thank you for your comments; and it shall be so noted in the record. <br />GIFFIN:And on behalf of Parker School Trust, thank you very much. <br />GALDONES:Thank you. Before I dismiss the both of you there were 5 individuals who <br />had signed up to testify on this subject matter. For those of you who had signed up to testify you <br />could testify today since you are present, or you can decide to hold your comments and your <br />testimony for the contested case hearing. The individuals who had signed up are Mark Mahaney, <br />Linda Copman, Victoria Missien, Janine Packett and Lynn Stimler. If you are- do you- if you <br />want to make a testimony at this time, please come forward. Otherwise, if you choose to save <br />your comments and your testimony for the contested case hearing that would be acceptable also. <br />Seeing that there is no one- someone would like to testify- fine. Could you please raise your <br />right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii County <br />Planning Commission? <br />PACKETT:I do. <br />GALDONES:Could you please state your name and your residence address. <br />PACKETT:I€m Janine Packett. My residence is 65-1152 Hokuula Road in Waimea. <br />14 <br /> <br />
