also, I have friends in Kohala who are in the auto repair business and all, so, I certainly have some feelings for that. But, on the other hand, I also, you know, recognize that running a compressor is a noisy business and it is very much a, metal work, it is very much an industrial kind of activity. So it seems like that if itÓs inappropriate for the location, itÓs inappropriate for the location, whether itÓs there for five years, or three weeks, or forever. So, because it is so close to the main road, it feels to me like the negative impact is not so widely shared in a sense that, you know, being well down in residential areas. But still itÓs not what the Par for. I feel like IÓm sure thereÓs a lot of people who put a lot of work into polling the community in coming up with that master plan, and I really would hate to go in contrast to them. SPRINGER:Other Commissioners, any questions of the staff? Mr. Torigoe, at this point, should we take up the matter of the Applicants for Standing? TORIGOE:Yeah, I think thatÓd be good. You can call the Applicant up, as well as the Applicants for standing, and get an idea of what the concerns are of the Applicants for standing. And, I guess, you could either just go ahead and take up the matter of standing right away or you could see if everyone can agree to kind of put that off to see if the Commission can deal with the AssociationÓs concerns by way of a condition. SPRINGER:Thank you. Before we get into that, I need some clarification from staff. Were there one or two applications for standing? HAYASHI:There was one application. SPRINGER:Okay. And thatÓs Ms. Mayhew, on behalf of the Association? HAYASHI:ThatÓs correct, on behalf of the Association. SPRINGER:Thank you. At this time, then, IÓd like to invite the Applicants or their representatives to come forward, as well as those individuals who have applied for Standing in the Contested Case before this body. And if I could ask any others who have signed up or would like to give public testimony on this matter to rise, along with the people at the table with us. The names that I have are Dan Payne, Selena Serrao, Patricia Tavares, Suzanne Mayhew and Mike Metcalf, if that is all of you. If you could rise, please, and raise your right hands. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS:I do. SPRINGER:Thank you. If we could just go back over the ground rules, if you will, at this time. What Deputy Corporation Counsel, Ivan Torigoe, is suggesting to us is that we have discussion on the issue before us prior to taking up the matter of the Contested Case hearing. Is that agreeable to all those seated before us? 5
