stating that his client is requesting a continuance based on the fact that he has had two Petit Mal seizures in the last four days, and has been advised to rest and avoid any stressful situations. And he mentions that he had contacted the intervenor’s representative about this. Maybe if I can defer to our Corporation Counsel as to how to proceed. ALAMEDA: Mr. Bancroft? I mean, Mr. Torigoe? TORIGOE: Well, at this point I suppose you should ask Mr. Matsukawa – I think he’s back there – representing the intervenor, and ask if he has any input on that. And other than that, it’s within your discretion as the Commission to further continue the matter. ALAMEDA: Sure. Let me just -. Can I just proceed with inviting the applicant up? Or Jeff, is there anything else that you wanted to share in terms of introduction? DARROW: It appears that the applicant and the applicant’s representative are not present at this time; just the intervenor and the intervenor’s representative. ALAMEDA: I mean -, that’s correct, sorry. Mr. Matsukawa, can I please swear you in, both of you? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? MATSUKAWA: I do. KAIAWE: I do. ALAMEDA: Okay. Go ahead. Please state your name and address for the record. MATSUKAWA: My name is Michael Matsukawa, 75-5751 Kuakini Highway, Kailua- Kona, Hawaii. ALAMEDA: Thank you. Sir, please state your name and address for the record. KAIAWE: Dean Kaiawe. 81-6228 Hind Drive, Captain Cook, Hawaii, 96704. ALAMEDA: Thank you, Mr. Kaiawe. Mr. Matsukawa, do you have any response to, you know, the whole issue that we are talking about? MATSUKAWA: Yes. I talked to Mr. Krueger yesterday. I’m a little disappointed at the last minute notice, ’cause I had prepared my schedule for this week. But I told Dennis this is all in the Commission’s discretion, so we just defer to your discretion. Ideally, I would recommend if somehow we could get on a first position on any other continued date. I know your August Kona meeting is piling up already, and it seems like we’re going to be No. 7 or No. 8. And our issues are very brief, you know, there is just going to be argument; the record is closed, there’s going to be no witnesses, no hearings, etc.We wouldn’t mind going to Hilo, if that might expedite things also.
