closer. Somehow that got out of his office without him really realizing what happened. There was, it was, it’s kind of like comical errors that went along the way. But the thing is, is now that we all know it happened Hu Honua is the only one who can step up to the plate and stand back and say we made a mistake. DOMINGO: Ma’am, to go further on, my question is you referred to historic properties? ROHR: Uh huh, yes. DOMINGO: Are those properties adjacent to or part of the properties that once Hilo Coast Process Company had their generating plant and where they stored their coals and all the appurtenant equipment that they needed to produce power? ROHR: It’s part of the property that they’re going to be using, it’s on this map that you have -. DOMINGO: Okay, okay, -. ROHR: And it labels the old boiler -. There’s an old boiler, the foundation of the old boiling house; and there’s part of the 18, they found the 1890’s mill. In around 1910 they dropped the grinding equipment 60 feet lower than the boiling house so they could bring in the cane by flume and get more of a drop, and they found that.

So do we have any specific questions for Ms. Rohr that would deal with her petition for standing? Okay, seeing none, thank you. You may be seated, Ms. Rohr. And if we could get Hu Honua’s representative up here if they’d like to add anything. All right, good morning. If I could get you sworn in, if you’ll raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth today before the Windward Planning Commission? AUSTIN: I do. WOODWARD: Okay, if you’ll give us your name and address, and then you may add whatever you’d like. AUSTIN: Sure. My name is David Austin, spelled A-u-s-t-i-n. And I’m an attorney at Yamamoto and Tuttle; and I represent the applicant. And my address is 700 Bishop Street, Suite 200, and that’s in Honolulu. I’m not going to spend time discussing any of the factually inaccurate and quite irrelevant testimony Ms. Rohr has proffered thus far regarding the merits of the application. We’ll focus in on whether or not we think she has standing, and the answer is 16 EXHIBITC
