KERN: Very good, duly noted. Thank you very much. Okay, Fello <br />we have now before us is to basically decide whether or not, to grant the oral argument or to not <br />grant the oral argument, and to move forward. Will the applican <br />want to have a three-minute rebuttal -? Right hand, please. Do <br />before the Windward Planning Commission? <br />YAMAMOTO: I do <br />KERN: Name and address, and go ahead. <br />YAMAMOTO: Sure. My name is Jodi Yamamoto. My address is 1125 <br />Honolulu, HawaiÒi. With respect to whether or not oral argument should be granted, our position <br />is that the record speaks for itself. It is complete. The hear <br />soundly based in the evidence presented at the hearing, and shou <br />Mr. Strauss mentioned, the record, there's quite a voluminous re <br />do not see the need for any oral argument with respect to these <br />4-24, I believe, which discusses the agenciesÓ requirement to ma <br />to all proposed findings of fact. Mr. Crudele is the hearing officer, he is not the agency. So <br />while he's not required to make a specific finding with respect to each and every propose finding <br />of fact, the Planning Commission should, in fact, do that in its final decision. So what I'm saying <br />here is the hearing officerÓs report is complete, itÓs well-foun <br />testimony and argument, considered thousands of pages of evidenc <br />witnessesÓ testimony, 17 of whom were presented by the interveno <br />speaks for itself. And at this point I think we are ready for a <br />KERN: Thank you. Any questions, Commissioners? Seeing none, o <br />make a motion? Commissioner Au? This motion is to either allow <br />allow an oral argument. So if we allow the oral argument, Mr. S <br />come up and argue more of the points that were in their findings <br />then the applicant has a chance to orally argue. And to an exte <br />contested case, to a degree, yeah, and we also have the chance t <br />to speak on that request. So letÓs go ahead and do that, letÓs <br />a moment. And then weÓll make our decision. <br />Do you swear to tell the truth today before the Windward Plannin <br />SELF: I do. <br />KERN: All right. <br />SELF: Amy Self, Deputy Corporation Counsel. I represent the planning director and the <br />Planning Department. I really can't add too much more than what <br />added, or just spoke about. But we did go through six days of hearings. It was of quite an <br />extent, lots and lots of evidence. You can tell by the volumino <br />4 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> <br /> <br />
