officials including of course Planning Department, Planning Commission, individual Commissioners, City Council members, Corporate Counsel, Engineers, Fire Chiefs, County Clerk, Deputy Clerk and the list goes on and on. And, my point here is that weve heard their concerns. My entire team has heard their concerns. We understand their concerns. I think theres other people that have heard this concerns and understand their concerns. And, we believe that they have all been adequately addressed and part of it is because of this 2 year long th process were in our 7 hearing. So, Im all about trying to gather consensus and work together with people but when do we get to the point where we say enough is enough. And I have been, my wife and I have been the property owners for the last year and Im starting to think that you know jeez I can have property rights too especially when a few of these units are going to be used for my familys vacation home. So, I feel like I understand what theyre looking for, I clearly understand. I went through all the hearing notes. I went through all the correspondence and I understand what theyre looking for. And lastly Id just like to point out that the neighbors to the immediate south, which is Sea Village withdrew their contested case okay. And it was my understanding that at that meeting which they have every year for the 130 condo owners that there was no concern expressed over our project. And they were clearly aware that we had the contested case hearing. Secondly the neighbor to the immediate east, Vacation Internationale, theyre clearly supportive of the project because theyre giving us easement for vehicular access aswellasutilities,whichincludesewers.Sotheresnotgoingtobeawastewatertreatment plant, which I saw on, I dont know, probably 20 letters. So to hold this process for continued negotiations with Mr. Haney and Mr. Buscemi I think is fruitless. I think it panders to their stalling techniques and continues this nonsense. So, in that regard and Im, you know, Im willing to talk to them but Im just not-. I dont think its fair to continue to stall this process and if these guys want to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court my wife and I are ready for the ride. So, I apologize for being a little bit excited here and fired up but I do respect the Commission and especially your thoughts and opinions. And you know my wife and I are just, you know were requesting that we get a favorable recommendation on behalf of the Planning Departments recommendation. Thanks. SPRINGER:Thank you Mr. Huggett. Are there any questions of the testifier from the Planning Commission? The question before us then is whether or not to- Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA:Mr. Huggett was any representation made to you at the time you purchased the property to whether or not you had a right to this application process. HUGGETT:Yes, it was my understanding through the due diligence that I had done that we did have a right to pick up this application. IWASHITA:Who told you that? HUGGETT:Well, Ive heard it from various people. I talked to Greg Mooers. IWASHITA:Anyone else? EXHIBIT C 16
