MIRANDA:A Japanese guy from Las Vegas, Mr. Fujinaga. He bought these <br />167 acres from Parker Ranch. <br />SIRACUSA:Okay. What Im trying to get a handle on here is, since there was a <br />question of visual impacts, Im trying to get a handle on who can see besides you where <br />you have moved those two now. And if the one property owner who can see is in favor, <br />then that knocks out really the concern about adverse negative visual impact. Thats <br />what Im trying to clarify here. <br />MIRANDA:Yeah, well, this property owner here just got a permit, I guess, and <br />built a stonewall and a big, about half an acre of gravel that he plans to, I think, build a <br />warehouse or something. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Siracusa, any more questions? <br />SIRACUSA:No. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioners, before we move forward with the applicants <br />witness,Ijustwanttomakesurethateverybodyisokaywithadmittingtheexhibitsfor <br />the record or if you have any reservations. Okay, so let it be known that its okay to <br />include that as part of the record. Thank you. <br />Mr. Rodrigues, would you like to call your witness? <br />RODRIGUES:Yes. Thank you. I have a brief clarification to Commissioner <br />Siracusa. As to that adjacent property owner on the left-hand side as youre looking at <br />the map, that is Mr. and Mrs. Fujinaga. If you look at our Exhibit 12, the second letter <br />there is their letter of support; and thats the one Mr. Miranda explained to you might <br />have some visual access to that depressed one-acre where he plans to park his vehicles <br />and have light maintenance. <br />SIRACUSA:Thank you. <br />RODRIGUES:Thats Fujinaga. <br />SIRACUSA:Thank you. <br />ALAMEDA:Thank you. <br />RODRIGUES:Our first witness Id like to introduce is former Councilman, <br />retired Army officer, retired teacher, now rancher, Michael Tulang. I dont claim to be <br />an expert in Act 205. My line of work takes me elsewhere in the law. I had to find one. <br />I didnt have to look far. Michael Tulangs background besides having advanced degrees <br />in agriculture from UH Manoa, bachelor of science, I mean, master of science degree, is <br />an agricultural economist. He served with the Federal government most of his working <br />career. He was the former executive director of the Hawaii Association of Conservation <br />13EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
