GIFFIN:Thank you. Hannah? <br />SPRINGER:Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm comfortable with that. That allows us to <br />study the prepared materials and hear from the public testifiers as well as the various parties and, <br />have a sense of what we're looking at and, for when we visit the site. So I would support that <br />suggestion that we go first thing in the morning on Friday. <br />GIFFIN:Thank you. Any other suggestions? Parties? <br />ROY:Madam Chair? <br />GIFFINYes. <br />ROY:My suggestion is this, that in having been told that we would go there first, <br />it kind of sets the tone in my mind. Seeing the place kind of sets everything going. I can w <br />appreciate the comments, but that's just my thought. <br />GIFFIN:And they're well taken. Maile? <br />DAVID:Yes, I believe a site visit before the hearing would be appropriate in this <br />matter, and I believe we have discussed this at the pre-hearing conference. And I think that -, I'm <br />not trying to say what Mikahala is explaining. But for me, I have prepared myself with that in <br />mind, and that's my comment. <br />GIFFIN:Fine. Randy? <br />VITOUSEK:I join the other parties. I think that, I'd like to propose that you do the <br />public testimony first, but then, I mean, that is not party testimony but public testimony. <br />GIFFIN:Yes. <br />VITOUSEK:Because they're here and -. <br />GIFFIN:Right. <br />VITOUSEK:They're welcome to go, I guess, on the site visit; but <br />them wait. <br />But I really do agree that I think it helps us to have a sense of the property visually and just get a, <br />you know, just be on the property. I think that's the appropriate way to start this type of a <br />deliberation. I think it will help us all understand the spatial relationships and what can be seen <br />from where. And so I would just join the other parties in a request that we do it before we start <br />the testimony in the contested case. I'd also say, you know, we <br />we intend to rely primarily on that written testimony in presentation of our case. And so it would <br />help us if the Commissioners have been on the property and could visualize it. I think, because, <br />you know, we are going to try to move through that pretty quickly. So we're not going to have <br />5 <br /> <br />
