ALAMEDA:You want to go ahead and state your reasons why, Mr. Eger? EGER:Well, its in Exception 7. If youd like me to read it. ALAMEDA:No. EGER:Im not supposed to bring anything thats not included in these exceptions, thats your rule. ALAMEDA:Okay. EGER:And Im content with what I wrote there because this is carefully done. ALAMEDA:Okay, thank you. Department, Ms. Leithead-Todd, your thoughts? LEITHEAD-TODD:As I understand Mr. Egers objection, he is basically objecting to the fact thatIpointedoutthattheGeneralPlanhasproposedindustrialforoneofthe20-acrelotswhich is closer to Ms. Harlans property than Mr. Vurichs proposed use. He also objected to me pointing out the location of Ms. Harlans property in relationship to Mr. Vurichs application and in relationship to the future proposed industrial area. And as I understand it, he seems to be saying that that was somehow an inappropriate argument. He has not raised any violations of any rules, any professional conduct. He just was unhappy with the argument that I tendered and in particular he seems to be inferring that I was questioning standing; and I was not questioning standing. I was addressing the issue of impact on the intervenors property because of its location in relationship to the application and its location to the future industrial piece of property. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Ms. Leithead-Todd. EGER:Then I need to read my two paragraphs to you, sir, of that Exception 7, the final two paragraphs of that. ALAMEDA:Exception 7. Okay. Ill allow you to do that. Commissioner Salavea. SALAVEA:Can you summarize it for us rather than, because were getting, personally Im getting lost on a technicality of the jargon. I mean, I need a summary of what your basis of why you object to her participating. EGER:When you considered giving standing to Sarah Harlan, Ivan Torigoe told you as a Commission that there was no consideration about the distance or location of a property to become a person at a contested case hearing, to have standing at a contested case hearing. It had nothing to do with the 500 feet. The 500 feet only has reference to those who must be notified of the request for a change. Theres nothing that indicates, and Mr. Torigoe said that in his Commission meeting to you, that would require her to live closer. ALAMEDA:Commissioner Watanabe? 18EXHIBIT B
