I'm just going to be recused from this. <br /> KNOWLES: Okay, do we have a staff presentation? [Inaudible short response from Deputy <br /> Corporation Counsel Salas-Ferguson] Okay, so we are going to go ahead and defer on this item <br /> because we don't have a quorum of Commissioners to take up any decisions or discussion around <br /> this item. But it does seem we have landowners present or just public testimony? <br /> KAY: They signed up to testify. <br /> KNOWLES: Okay. We have two people signed up to offer public testimony on this matter, so I <br /> will call the first person on the list, Tom Pace, to the table here. Please raise your right hand, <br /> Mr. Pace. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Leeward Planning <br /> Commission? <br /> PACE: [Inaudible microphone on mute] <br /> KNOWLES: Thank you. You have three minutes. <br /> PACE: [Inaudible microphone on mute] <br /> KNOWLES: Oh, turn on your microphone, please, and speak clearly into the mic. Thanks. <br /> PACE: Okay,just a brief history. This property was sold by the Greenwell family to a Japanese <br /> family who, the patriarch passed—it was turned into, going to be a golf course of 500 units and an <br /> Arnold Palmer-designed golf course—since the patriarch passed, it was sold to three major <br /> developers who were going to develop the property. We are the adjoining ranch holder, and we <br /> paid another 50 percent more to acquire the property to prevent it from being developed. We put <br /> 9,000 acres of it, the first in the State, to do the forest legacy program under conservation <br /> easement. And we've been 17 years with this application to revert the zoning back to 20 acres. <br /> So, we would greatly appreciate your consideration of that. <br /> KNOWLES: Thank you, Mr. Pace. No questions, right? Okay. Next, I'd like to call up <br /> Gregory Hendrickson. Please turn on the microphone. Thank you. And please raise your right <br /> hand, I'll swear you in. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on the matter now before the <br /> Leeward Planning Commission? <br /> HENDRICKSON: Yes, I do. <br /> 2 <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />
