tower site, so I was not involved in those license negotiations; and I wouldnÓt be able to testify to that on personal knowledge. I would say that I have had discussions with U.S. Cellular representatives, and I donÓt believe that they thi of the lease. I know there were discussions about road and electricity, but I donÓt think that they would agree with Mr. YamanakaÓs statements in his letter. I think there have been further discussions about those kinds of improvements, but to my knowledge, well, up to the point when U.S. Cellular owned the tower, there had not been any definitive agreement on it. And I donÓt know whether there had been subsequent discussions with AT&T Wireless, just because IÓm not privy to them. As an attorney for lessees and landlords, a lot of times something as important as that should have been in the license, if that were, in fact, the agreement of the parties. GRAHAM:I see. And the way I interpret that is itÓs hard for you to be sure what kind of verbal understanding might have been in place; but given the fact that itÓs very important to this situation, if there were verbal understanding, you would expect it to be in the license. LEONG:If there had been an agreement, it would have been in the license. GRAHAM:Thank you. LEONG:Thank you. GALDONES:Commissioners, any further questions? Hearing none, Commissioners, what IÓd like to do at this time is to act upon the Petition for Standing in a Contested Case Hearing, which was submitted by Mr. George H. R purpose in doing that is so that those who have signed up to testify can decide whether they will testify at this hearing or reserve their comments for the Contested Case Hearing, if there is one thatÓs approved by the Commissioners. So if thereÓs no objection to the process, Commissioners, you have before you a Petition that was submitted by Mr. Robertson -. Norman, everything in order, the timeframe has been met and the fees thatÓs necessary to go along with the Petition is in order? HAYASHI:We did receive the Petition in the Kona office at 4:30 last week Friday, 7 days prior to today. So I guess it was filed within a timely manner. As far as the filing fee, we also received the filing fee for that. GALDONES:Okay. Mr. Robertson, may I call upon you? Mr. Robertson, could you use the microphone? Please raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before Hawaii County Planning Commission? ROBERTSON:Yes, I do. GALDONES:Could you please state your name and your residence address? 8
