GADD:IÓm Greg Gadd. <br />SPRINGER:And the Applicant is not here? <br />GADD:IÓm his representative. <br />SPRINGER:Oh, okay. Thank you. If you could all raise your right hands. Do <br />you swear or affirm or tell the truth on this matter now before the HawaiÒi County <br />Planning Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS:I do. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Please be seated. And, Mr. Gadd, if youÓre the <br />representative, if you could come forward, please. Thank you, Mr. Gadd, if you could <br />just take a seat at the table before a microphone. And please speak into the microphone <br />so that our records are clear. <br />GADD:I donÓt have anything prepared to say but IÓm prepared to answer <br />questions. <br />SPRINGER:Okay. Well, I do have a question for you. Did you receive the <br />Planning DepartmentÓs Background Report and Recommendation? <br />GADD:Yes, I did. <br />SPRINGER:Do you have any comments to make on the Background Repo <br />Recommendations? <br />GADD:No, I donÓt. <br />SPRINGER:Okay. If I understand the Applicant correctly, Commissioners, he <br />sits ready to field any questions from us. So, Commissioners, do you have any questions <br />of the ApplicantÓs representative, Greg Gadd? Commissioner Grah <br />GRAHAM:IÓm not familiar with the parcel or history Òcause IÓm ne <br />Commission but the fact that the permit was granted a number of years ago. But, from <br />what Norman said, nothing has really transpired; and now the permit is being extended, <br />or expanded, or whatever, seems a little odd. Could you give us <br />GADD:Yeah, at that time, the economy took a downturn and it just wasnÓt <br />economically feasible to proceed. And now the economy is in an <br />more sense to proceed with the project such as this, and thereÓs a larger population base <br />in the area now, more people have moved into the area. <br />4 <br /> <br />
