This particular slide shows the site plan of the property. On the property there is an existing single family dwelling which would be utilized for the tutoring center. On the first floor of the building the tutoring center would be located in this area; and the office for the tutoring operation would be located also on the first floor. th As the Commissioners will remember on July 10 there was a petition for standing for contested case filed by George Kaiser and that particular standing was granted by the Planning Commission at that meeting. At that meeting the Planning Commission also requested that we send the application over to the Department of Education as well as the Hawaiian Paradise Park th Owners Association. We did receive the DOE’s comments, a letter of July 24 that basically stated that they had no comments on the particular request. As I was reading the minutes two days ago I recall that Commissioner Iwashita had said that we should send the application over to the District Area Superintendent, that was Mary Correa. Unfortunately we sent it to the main office at the Department of Education in Honolulu and that’s the normal protocol or procedure that we use. I did call Mary Correa’s office yesterday and they indicated to me that she was not available for the next two days, yesterday and today. Regarding the Hawaiian Paradise Park Owners Association’s letter that was received on th August 26 they basically stated that they had no objections but the tutoring center does not conform to the HPP’s Master Plan. Again this is the aerial photo of the subject property. Okay, th the property is located here, and this is 6 Avenue. Mr. Kaiser’s property is located one lot away, which is approximately 130 feet away from the subject property. And the abutting property on the mauka side is owned by Philip Matlage who also sent a correspondence over to the Planning Commission. th Since that July 10 meeting we received certain correspondence besides the Department of Education’s and the Hawaiian Paradise Park Owners Association’s letters. First we received a letter from Heidi Hanza who supported the petition. We also received from Mr. Kaiser an update th to his written testimony. We also received a letter dated August 11 from Marta Campbell th refuting information presented by Mr. Kaiser at the hearing. We also received on July 11 a th letter from Linda Peters, a letter of support of this petition. And on July 26 we received another letter from Raymond Owens who supported the petition. And, lastly we received a letter, correspondence from Mr. Kaiser today regarding the minutes of the Hawaiian Paradise Park Owners Association dated July16, ’08. As far as, at the last meeting I believe Mr. Domingo had asked how far was the Kaiser’s property to the subject petitioned area. And in measuring the distance it’s one lot away and it’s about 130 feet from the property. Just for your information there is the, according to the Hawaiian Paradise Park Master Plan there is a school site located here in this dark shaded area; and that is approximately 2,300 feet from the subject property. The Planning Director is recommending approval of this petition. And he had submitted a proposed Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Decision and Order for your consideration. Are there any questions at this time? WOODWARD: No questions for staff. Since this is a contested case this is going to be handled a little bit differently than our usual protocol; and I’d like our legal counsel Mr. Torigoe to go over the process by which this hearing will be run.
