WATANABE:No, I’m -. Okay. Generally, what happens is, you know, you do your presentation as the Applicant or the Applicant’s representative. And I was not going to ignore these individuals, they would all have an opportunity to come up, and I take it that, you know, a number of them already have such as yourself, John Raggett, Tom Fine and George Gines. So I was looking at the rest, to call upon the rest to come up in stages. CARROLL:Well, I would simply add at this point, then, we can pull back, have the testimony, then I presume we’ll have one last crack, right? WATANABE:Yes. CARROLL:Okay. And, so, the point here is that this zoning is allowed. The so-called local Board is clearly, it’s an advisory board; but it’s like you folks, they’re people who are interested in the community, and they’re the most central to this particular problem. And they came in and they have recommended that their application be granted as is, which includes the crematory. So, I’d say, there’s no legal impediments, there is an emotional overtone to the issue. I think the facts are clear. And I think when you hear the other folks testify as to the job that these folks are doing, you’ll be compelled to grant their motion. Thank you. WATANABE:Okay, thank you. So, with that, then, I guess you may be seated; and we’ll call on the other testifiers. I have listed a Michael Burwell, John Brumbaugh, and Gary Brumbaugh and Danny Choy. Are those individuals here? Did you want to testify? We can take two more at least now. You were, excuse me -? G. BRUMBAUGH: I’m Gary Brumbaugh. WATANABE:Gary. And John? J. BRUNBAUGH:Yeah. WATANABE:Okay. What about Mike Burwell, is he here yet? You want to testify? BURWELL:No. WATANABE:No, okay. You must be Darlene? GULUZZY:Laura Guluzzy. WATANABE:Anyone else? We’ve got room for one more. No, okay. Would you all raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawai`i County Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS:I do. EXHIBIT D 16
