you know, a few selected viewpoints that they would suggest the Commission look at; and then we can discuss with Staff if it would be practical to do that. GIFFIN:And I think the key word with what Mr. Torigoe just said is viewpoints. And as I said at the pre-hearing conference, I really do not want this to be a lesson on, you know, the cultural value of the sites. I would like to see the effect of this application on the surrounding property. Mikahala. ROY:Madam Chair, no disrespect intended, but for the record, I've been asked to speak and say that that predisposes that you believe that everyone is culturally aware at the same level. And that is just, I just need to state that that, for this site, is not the case. GIFFIN:I see what you're saying. And, Mr. Torigoe, correct me if I'm wrong. I think that we are of the same level from the material that has been presented to us. TORIGOE:Yeah, I think, thank you. I think what would be helpful is if, as I said, if you could identify a few key viewpoints and maybe make note of what those viewpoints are as we go through them. So that when you are going through your presentation, you are able to refer back to those and inform the panel as to what the real significance of those are, when you are in your case, you know, in making your case. That would probably be the best way to make the record on that. GIFFIN:Any other comments, parties? None? Officers, do I hear regarding the site visit and when? Commissioner Springer. SPRINGER:Madam Chair, I move that this panel of Hearings Officers conduct a site visit to the Keakealaniwahine or to the subject property following public testimony on the matter. TOGASHI:Second. GIFFIN:It has been moved and seconded that we have a site visit of the subject property after public testimony today. Mr. Torigoe, in this motion, should we say that if the need presents itself that we also have other site visits? TORIGOE:You donÓt need to say that at this point. GIFFIN:Okay. All those in favor? HEARINGS OFFICERS:Aye. GIFFIN:All those opposed? Thank you. So, by decision, we will be doing a site visit this morning after public testimony. Mr. Torigoe has just suggested to me that we determine the site points now. 8
