SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Torigoe. At this point then, do we proceed with receiving public comment? TORIGOE:Just to clarify the record then, all of the parties are okay with going ahead with an informal contested case procedure to allow the Commission to see if they would like to make a decision approving the application with the conditions presented and agreed to by the parties. And if such a motion passes, then that essentially should take care of the matter. Again, not prejudging the matter and bearing in mind that the Planning Director is also a party and has a position that is contrary. SPRINGER:Thank you. FUKE:Yes, again,forthe record, we would agree to a modified contested case proceeding on this matter. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Fuke. PAWU:I believe our organization would also agree to thattype of quasi contested casehearing.Thankyou. SPRINGER:Thankyou,Mr.Pawu.Mr.Yuen? YUEN:Yes, we agree to modify the hearing procedures. SPRINGER:Thank you. Mr. Torigoe, I have a question then. May we as Commissioners continue to query of Mr. Yuen as the Planning Director or is there some sort of, a different procedure because hes a party to the case? TORIGOE:Well, Mr. Yuen is always going to be the Planning Director. I suppose the question is whether the applicant and the intervenor would prefer to have Mr. Yuen come down to the party table at this point or whether you would stipulate to allow Mr. Yuen to retain his seat with the Commission at this point which he normally sits with Commission to advise them during most informal contested cases. FUKE:Well, from the applicants perspective, there are no chairs over here so hes better off over there. So -. SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Fuke. Mr. Pawu? PAWU:We have no problem with Mr. Yuen remaining where he is. Thank you. SPRINGER:And Mr. Yuen, youre okay? YUEN:Id rather sit here. 12 EXHIBIT A
