DEDMAN: Well, I’m a Hawaiian and they’ve been zoning my beaches and my property, rezone, rezone, resort zone. I mean, what else? I mean you can make your face because you’re not Hawaiian. You’ve got nothing to worry about. Just continue ripping us all. So you’re pretty happy. But I’m here to tell you that I know you’re ripping us off, okay? So look as disgusted as you like, I’m not impressed. WATANABE: Okay, thank you. It’s noted on the record. Well, with that, now I did indicate that we’d move back to Agenda Item No. 3. Agenda Item No. 3 is Carnor J. Sumida, Special Permit Application SPP 08-000053. At this time, 11:34 a.m., the Commission took up the application of Carnor J. Sumida, Special Permit Application SPP 08-000053. At 4:12 p.m., the Commission again took up the subject application. WATANABE: Will the Planning Commission meeting come back in to order, please. We are on Agenda Item No. 4 which apparently a lot of you have been patiently awaiting for us to address; and that would be the Puna Community Development Plan. This Plan had its first reading in Kea‘au last month, I believe it was, and we had a subsequent reading of it in Kona; and so this is the last time we will be addressing it. And what we’re supposed to do is send it up to the Council with a decision. But before I do I think I’d want to have Mr. Torigoe explain to you what the rules are on this CDP as far as approval and if we can’t reach a decision or whatever. Yeah, so with that, you know, can I have you -. TORIGOE: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Basically you’re looking at the recently enacted Section 2-28(a) of the Hawaii County Code. If the Commission is unable to act on getting a recommendation by five votes, such inaction shall be considered as an unfavorable recommendation by the Planning Commission. And the plan draft then gets sent to the County Council with that default unfavorable recommendation. WATANABE: Thank you, thank you. Now I do have a list here of a number of people who had signed up to testify. But that list is much shorter than the amount of people that are in attendance now. And I recognize some of the faces that had testified previously when we had this in Kea‘au. But as a reminder to the public if any of you wish to testify then you do need to sign up on the sheet with Sharon there, yeah. Okay, and with that maybe what we can do is call up Larry Brown. And would that be Mr. Whalen also, no? BROWN: Jon Olson. WATANABE: Jon Olson, yeah. And I thought Mr. Whalen was going to -. Just you and Mr. Olson are here -? EXHIBIT B 9
