liability for this should a person be ingress or egressing the property and sustain bodily injury. <br />Two thousand four hundred and five lot owners who own the roadway in common could put <br />their personal stake at jeopardy. And as the duly elected representative, it is my obligation to <br />stand up for them. <br />The second point on which we€ve askedfor the contested hearing is that even though we€re not <br />an official government organization as the representative of the people of the small village, so to <br />speak, 2405 lots, we are a quasi-governmental organization and, therefore, have an interested in <br />the development and the orderly development of our organization. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Pawu. We have the application before us and we all have <br />the opportunity to review it. Are there any questions for the petitioner? <br />IWASHITA:I have. <br />SPRINGER:Commissioner Iwashita. <br />IWASHITA:Mr. Pawu, have you discussed your request for a contested case hearing <br />withtheapplicant. <br />PAWU:Yes,sir,wehave. <br />IWASHITA:And is it your understanding that they are going to agree with you or not <br />to do the contested case hearing? <br />PAWU:What they had proposed to me earlier is that the matter be deferred <br />because we are still in discussions. They have been most cooperative in trying to meet the <br />concerns of the community; but they have not met all the concerns. And the latest vote from my <br />Board is to request a contested case hearing and deny the application. However, the applicants <br />have come back with further request and would request a further consideration by our Board, <br />which I feel obligated to give them. Because even though they are a minority they are still <br />property owners and deserve the full treatment of our board and, like all property owners, we feel <br />they have the right to develop their property to the highest and best use. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Pawu. <br />IWASHITA:So, may I have a follow-up question? <br />SPRINGER:Sure. <br />IWASHITA:So is it my understanding that you wish to have the Commission defer <br />your request for a contested case hearing until you have an opportunity to discuss the proposal by <br />the applicant with your owners. <br />PAWU:If it€s appropriate with the applicant, it would be appropriate for our <br />organization. We are willing to do it if the applicant is willing to postpone this matter. <br />3 <br /> <br />
