HAYASHI:Thank you MadameChair, members of the Commission. As you recall at <br />the last meeting in Kona this application was- this continued hearing was brought before you. <br />This permit was originally submitted by Eric Soto for an SMA Use Permit. Mr. Soto had sold <br />the property to Mr. Huggett. Mr. Huggett has informed us and the Commission that he intended <br />to continue with the proposal that Mr. Soto had previously filed for. At the last Planning <br />Commission hearing there was concerns relative to some of the petitions or request for contested <br />case hearing that was filed by certain individuals. The Commission at that time continued the <br />hearing in order to allow both legal counsel, the counsel for the petitioner as well as counsel for I <br />believe Mr. Haney and Mr. Buscemi, adjoining property owners to address the issue regarding <br />the- certain issues that Mr. Torigoe had requested of. Mr. Kim representing Mr. Haney and <br />Buscemi did submit a letter to the Planning Commission which all of you have a file- was <br />provided a copy of. Mr. Randy Vitousek on behalf of the Applicant Mr. Huggett did submit a <br />th <br />memorandum in support of the application. This was received in the office on May 17. I just <br />wanted to point out to you that in this memorandum that was submitted by Mr. Vitousek€s office <br />there are 2 exhibits, Exhibit C and F basically these are draft of thehearing transcript of the last <br />meeting. The hearing transcript was not provided to the Planning Commission so I don€t know <br />what the legal aspect of that is. The Commission hasn€t seen the draft nor has approved the <br />hearing transcript. I just wanted to point that out for the record. <br />th <br />We also received a letter dated May 6 and the Planning Commission was also afforded a copy <br />of that letter and that was submitted by Virginia Isbell as Vice Chair of the County Council. And <br />basically indicating that they are working a new, revisions to the driveway ordinance and <br />requested that the Commission continue this hearing until such time that ordinance has been <br />adopted. <br />th <br />May 11 we also received a letter from Mr. Brian Haney requested that the Planning <br />Commission continue the hearing as follow-up on Councilperson Virginia Isbell€s request. <br />th <br />We also have a letter dated May 4 by several individuals expressing their concerns regarding <br />this particular project. <br />I just wanted to point out what has been provided to the Planning Department and the Planning <br />Commission relative to a request for a contested case hearing or letters. As previously indicated <br />to you at the last meeting we did receive a letter from Mr. Brian Haney, Jack and Kelly <br />Armstrong, Mark and Kim Spangler, Lowell Zimmerman and basically they had requested that <br />the contested case hearing be held. They wanted to be a party to a contested case hearing. These <br />were in letter form and not a formal petition. All of these individuals with the exception of Mr. <br />Zimmerman did provide us with the $100 filing fee. We also received a note from Mr. Charles <br />Buscemi along with a check, $100 filing fee, and I believe that his intent was to be a party also to <br />nd <br />the proceedings. Since that time, since the last meeting on April 22 we did receive from, a <br />formalpetitionfromMr.CharlesBuscemiandthe$100filingfeetobeapartytothis <br />proceeding. We also received the check from Mr. Brian Haney with no letter and no formal <br />th <br />petition.WealsoreceivedMay10aformalpetitionfromMarkandKimSpangleraswellas <br />their $100 filing fee.
