microphone, and raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter <br />now before the Planning Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: I do. <br />HOUSEL: Thank you. Could you state your name and address, and then give -? <br />KAVALIAUSKAS: Ursula Kavaliauskas, 78-216 Mkole‘ Street, voter, registered and <br />property owner. I think your job as the Commission is to hold the line. There are -. <br />HOUSEL: And your address, please. <br />KAVALIAUSKAS: Seven-eight-two-one-six Mkole‘ Street. <br />HOUSEL: Okay, thank you. <br />KAVALIAUSKAS: Did you get it that time? <br />HOUSEL: Yeah. <br />KAVALIAUSKAS: Okay. Can you all hear me? Your job is to hold the line. We have rules. <br />The reason things are on this Planning Commission’s agenda is because these people do not want <br />to follow the rules; they want special treatment. They are asking for you to waive some of the <br />rules, like the setbacks. You should not be coming to this meeting, saying that the developer has <br />just as much right as we have. He doesn’t. You are asking to trample our rights as neighbors, as <br />community members, as recreationists; you are asking us to waive our rights and not hold the <br />line for someone who wants special treatment. You should be coming to this meeting <br />automatically ready to say no. If you are not ready to say no, you should have a very good <br />reason. Is there a reason to give up our rights? Is there a reason, is there some benefit to the <br />community? Is there some benefit to you as individuals? I don’t see why we need to give up our <br />rights. And I don’t see this is a difficult situation. We have rules. Everybody follows them – <br />everybody except for people that come here asking for special treatment. It should not be <br />difficult for you. You should automatically say no unless you find some overriding <br />consideration that gives him the right to do something that the rest of us don’t have the right to <br />do. Thank you very much. <br />KAMAKA: I second, third, fourth everything she says. <br />HOUSEL: Could you state your name and address, please? <br />KAMAKA: Sandy Kamaka, 74-5113 Kealakaa Street, Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i. <br />HOUSEL: And would you like to present your testimony? <br />22 <br />EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
