GRAHAM:So, Norman, for us today is to agree with the settlement or not, thats the issue before us? HAYASHI: Yes, I believe thats the issue before you today. And, perhaps, legal counsel can better explain, you know, what the process that you would have to go through if . GRAHAM:Okay. Now, as I remember the process we had before the initial, it seems like the big horse in the barn here was Condition 7, which was all these road improvements, and that the Applicant represented to us in fall of 2004 that the cost of all these would be 6.-something or other million and wanted it reduced to one million because of inability to pay. And the Planning Director at that time didnt think it should be reduced; and we, as a Commission, voted that it shouldnt be reduced; and then it went to the Court. And, now, their reduction asked for reduction from 6.-something million to onemillion,sonowtheresasettlementofahalfamillion,evenlessthantheonemillion they asked for; and now the Planning Director is agreeing to it. Is that all correct? HAYASHI:That is my understanding based on the correspondence that was submitted by the Planning Director. GRAHAM:So maybe we should hear from . HAYASHI:I wasnt privy to the settlement meeting so perhaps either the Planning Director or his legal counsel could respond to that. GRAHAM:Yeah, so I dont know who we should hear from first but . ALAMEDA:Should we swear, weve got to swear everybody in again? TORIGOE:You might as well. ALAMEDA:Before we start going forward, yeah? TORIGOE:Yes. ALAMEDA:Okay, please raise your right hand? Do you swear to tell the truth before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? PARTIES:Yes. ALAMEDA:Thank you. And then, Mr. Torigoe, in terms of protocol, what do you suggest, who goes first and all of that? TORIGOE:Let me just maybe add to the background a little bit -. ALAMEDA:Okay, sure. 4EXHIBIT D
