DARROW: Commissioner Watanabe? <br />WATANABE: Aye. <br />DARROW: Commissioner Alameda? <br />ALAMEDA: Aye. <br />DARROW: Commissioner Rho? <br />RHO: Aye. <br />DARROW: Commissioner Woodward? <br />WOODWARD: Aye. <br />DARROW: And Mr. Chairman? <br />GRAHAM: Aye. <br />DARROW: The motion passes, six to zero. <br />GRAHAM: Okay, thank you. We’re going to get the public testimony still <br />today because we always take public testimony on any of the items on the agenda. I know in the <br />past we’ve had contested case hearings where it sometimes feels like the intervenors are dealing <br />with more narrow issues or not dealing with all the issues that the Commission might want to <br />deal with. So I personally had a couple of requests that I would like to make as far as what I <br />would like to see added as the evidence for the contested case hearing. If it’s all right with the <br />Commissioners, I’ll just say that at this time. <br />Two things: One for the applicant and one for the Planning Director. Given that we are talking <br />about an SMA Use Permit, and that impacts on the near-shore ocean is obviously a prime <br />concern in something like that; on your application to the Planning Department, as I looked <br />through the various appendices, you had one regarding the ocean water quality by Marine <br />Research Consultants which had a lot of data on the condition of the water quality. And when it <br />came time to make the conclusion as to what the impact might be, he referenced impacts to the <br />groundwater as shown in a further study for this project done by Tom Nance on the groundwater <br />quality, but amongst all the appendices, I didn’t see you listed the particular appendix which <br />included Tom Nance’s study. So I presume the Planning Department never got that study, even <br />though it was referenced as the conclusions given by this Marine Research Consultants. So I <br />would ask that you please include that study in your material for the contested case hearing. <br />And one other for the Planning Director, again with regard to the coastal water quality and all, on <br />all of these applications we have lots of sort of supporting agencies that the application get sent <br />out to for comments – Public Works and all that – about different aspects, but there is no agency <br />or disinterested party that really comments to us on coastal ecosystems, coastal water quality. <br />And so since we don’t have that of any disinterested party, the only particular documentation I <br />EXHIBIT H <br />14 <br /> <br />
