SPRNGER:Well be hearing from the applicant when were done with our questions for the -. IWASHITA:Ihave a procedural question of counsel. So if the petitioner for standing is asking, as I hear thepetitioner asking, for a deferral and if the applicant agrees, then thats basically what well do? TORIGOE:Well, that would be up to the Commission. But if there is an agreement, then you could go ahead and defer it. IWASHITA:Thank you. I have no further questions. SPRINGER:Thank you. Other Commissioners? Commissioner Siracusa. SIRACUSA:Yes.Ijustwanttobeperfectlyclearthatthisparcelthatsunder consideration here is part of the Orchidland Subdivision? PAWU:Yes, maam. It is certainly a part of Orchidland Estates Subdivision, and the ingress and egress is on a private roadway owned by our subdivision. SIRACUSA:Thank you. SPRINGER:Other Commissioners, questions for the petitioner? At this time Id like to invite the applicants representative to come forward. Welcome back.. Youve heard the testimony by the petitioner, youve heard the discussion from the Planning Commissioners. Do you have any comments for us? FUKE:Sure. Thank you, Madam Chair. Again, for the record, my name is Sidney Fuke, Im a planning consultant. Also seated to my left is the applicant, Gerald Yamada, now hes over here. Yes, weve had numerous discussions with the Orchidland Community Association, the intent obviously is to obviate the need for a contested case hearing. And we believe that some resolution may be possible. So its my understanding that the Board is going to be convening later on this month; and so if this issue could be deferred until, you know, the next meeting, then that would be fine. However, I dont know what, you know, the procedures are. Because my understanding is that in terms of the ability to grant standing to an entity, you know, such as the Orchidland Community Association it has to be done at the first meeting. And so then if that is the case then, you know, we would like to note for the record that we would have no objection in having Orchidland Community Association be granted standing in a contested case hearing and, however, request that this matter be continued to the next Commission meeting, at which time then if nothing can be resolved then at that time the Commission can make a determination on whether youre going to outsource it or have the contested case hearing conducted by the full Commission. If everything is resolved, you know, in terms of their withdrawal of the contested case request, then at the next hearing date then we can proceed as a normal Commission item. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Fuke. Mr. Torigoe, do you have any response to Mr. Fuke about whether or not we need to decide on the petition for standing? 4
