GRAHAM:Right, thats correct. And the last one is from the applicant; and I believe that we not only have the list,we have the actual exhibits from all the parties, here, too, in this documentation that was sent to us. IWASHITA:Right. GRAHAM:So I have three different exhibit lists, witness lists, and exhibits included; and then we have the one additional one we got today thatMr. Torigoe described. IWASHITA:Thank you. GRAHAM:On my script, so to say, well have opening statements first. And so the opening statement would beginwith the applicant. So one of you folks could give an opening statement; and maybe when you do that you could give your name and your address, please. Thankyou. FAY:MynameisPatFay.Iam,asIsaid,co-owneroftheproposedB&B.The address is 15-782 Paradise Alakai. And I want to thank the Commission for having this meeting as quickly, and I also want to thank the Planning Department for the assistance in the pre- planning hearing and the types of things that helped us put this together. In my opening statement the only thing thats most important to me is the fact that the gentleman who built this house built it to raise his family. We bought this house from him. Were doing nothing to it. Its exactly the same house. Were not changing it, were not putting anything on the ground. Its exactly the same as the house that was built, with no changes. The house is located on what has been judged as poor land for agriculture. And I can attest to that. Trying to grow a couple of fruit trees has been very difficult to even plan. Also, the home is located within Paradise Park; and on page 7 of our statement, of our application, we state that we are in compliance with the Master Plan of Paradise Park. So thats my opening statement. GRAHAM:Thank you. So next we would have our opening statement from Janie Lai, the Intervenor whos not here. But I would like to call the Commissions attention to the exhibit list, and Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 from Janie Lai where she speaks of her concerns. So I dont think I need to read them here. Shes not here to read them or speak to them, but I certainly want to be sure that the Commissioners are up to speed with where her concerns are. Is there anything in that regard that I should do at this time, Mr. Torigoe? TORIGOE:No, I think that will do for now. GRAHAM:Thank you. So the third party is the Planning Director. And, Mr. Yuen, would you have any introductory statements to make? YUEN:My counsel will take care of this. GRAHAM:Thank you. 5
