KERN: Okay, we will take that under consideration. Having disc <br />Corporation Counsel, I'm not sure if there's a major action that <br />the Commissioner to do that, but we will take that under conside <br />STRAUSS: Thank you. I'd also like to make these photographs a <br />photographs here. May I provide these to Mr. Darrow? <br />KERN: Yes. <br />STRAUSS: Thanks. We filed a written request. It was a couple <br />the need for oral argument. I would assume that was available a <br />that. I do want to state a couple of other additional reasons that have arisen why oral argument is <br />necessary. First, is this on? <br />KERN: Yes. <br />STRAUSS: Okay. First, with respect to the transmission to the <br />presume may become part of the record is identified as No. 07-01 <br />It is an attempt by Hu Honua to insert a traffic plan or traffic study into the record. The hearing <br />was closed February 25, 2011. This is dated March 14, 2011. It <br />member of the public. ItÓs an attempt to introduce evidence into the record by an applicant. And <br />it's improper and it should be stricken. So that's one of the r <br />There is no opportunity to contest that traffic plan because the hearing was already closed. The <br />purpose of the contested hearing is to test evidence, not having <br />been dealt with by the hearings officer and the parties. <br /> <br />The second is that this matter should really be stricken from th <br />this - the hearings officer did not complete his job, that's why we need oral argument today. That <br />prevents you from doing your job. Under the rules, your rules, <br />there are findings of fact that are submitted by any party, thos <br />with in the decision. Because this was referred to a hearings o <br />can't do that because you weren't present at the hearing, you di <br />to do that, he didn't do that. If you look at his findings of fact and his conclusions of law, <br />essentially he adopted the background report of the County Planning Department. He did not <br />deal with evidence that was submitted by the applicant, I'm sorr <br />other intervenors over the course of six days of testimony. Bec <br />findings of fact and conclusions of law, it must be incorporated. It must be dealt with in the final <br />decision. And because his recommended decision doesn't do it, i <br />th <br />it back. As of February 25 the hearing was closed. You have 90 days to render a decision. <br />th <br />Your next hearing I understand is May 4. Under the rules the 90 days is, my calculation is <br />th <br />May 27. So you would still be able to send it back to the hearings of <br />do his job correctly so you can do your job correctly; and then <br />th <br />addressed timely at the May 4 hearing. So those are some of the issues in addition to what I <br />presented here that we would address in oral argument. <br />3 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
