SCHNEIDER:By his proposed -. It would only be because they drive by toget to their lot. They would see it every time they drove down Kaloli Boulevard or Drive to the th 13 Street, which is where their lot is located. And I think if you read the content of their letter, it is the visual impact of the facility that bothers them. Their 500-foot thing, Mr. Yuen has commented on it. The corner of their lot is four lots from the road and the lots are 125 feet wide. So theyre 500-foot, feet from the road, and the only thing there is the road and his facility. So its 500-and-some odd feet away from the corner of their lot, you know, give or take 60 feet, the width of Kaloli Drive or whatever it is. SPRINGER:Commissioner Siracusa?

SPRINGER:Other Commissioners, questions or comments? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Id just like to hear from Commissioner Iwashita, because I think this was all kind of a top decision for us and I know he voted different than the majority, so Im sure he has good reasons. So I wish he could just share with us any thoughts he might have that we havent brought up already. IWASHITA:The burden is on the Harlans to establish that theyve met one of the criteria for establishing standing under the rule; and, basically, as Mr. Schneider has indicated, there are basically two points theyre making. One is they have to drive by this and they dont like what they see. Thats not a basis for standing.
