SIRACUSA:Excuse me, Mr. Chairman. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner Siracusa. <br />SIRACUSA:Yeah. All those photographs that we received, they were all in black and <br />white and very unclear; and I know a lot of times we have colored photographs that are passed <br />around to us for additional clarity. And I was wondering if there were any of those available <br />today. <br />HAYASHI:We will circulate them to the Commission. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay, could you please circulate them, starting with Commissioner <br />McCall. Any other questions for staff? <br />Okay, I want to ask the parties to come forward. Could I swear all of you in at the same time. <br />Willyoupleaseraiseyourrighthand.Doyouswearoraffirmtotellthetruthnowbeforethe <br />Hawaii County Planning Commission? <br />PARTIES:I do. <br />ALAMEDA:Okay. I want to start with the applicant. If you could go ahead and state <br />your name and address for the record, and you may proceed. <br />MR. VURICH:Yeah, we€re John and Jeanne Vurich and our address is 13-1152 Kahukai <br />Street in Pahoa. <br />ALAMEDA:I wanted to ask Mr. Torigoe to explain the process for our new <br />Commissioners as well as the public. Mr. Torigoe? <br />TORIGOE:Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Basically at this point we€re at <br />Rule 4-33 of your Planning Commission rules which states that after there have been exceptions <br />filed, then the Commission may render its decision forthwith upon the record, or if oral argument <br />has been allowed after oral argument, or it may reopen the docket and take further evidence, or <br />may make other such disposition that is necessary. So, basically, at this point the contested case <br />hearing has been concluded. You have the record before you. You can make a decision without <br />any further proceeding, you can allow for oral argument. I don€t know at this point if any of the <br />parties have requested oral argument in writing. <br />HAYASHI:Yes. Mr. Eger had submitted a request to give an oral argument. <br />TORIGOE:Okay. So then the Commission needs to decide whether to allow oral <br />argument or not. And then you can have oral argument and then make your decision after that. <br />Or if you feel that there€s a need for more evidence you can reopen the hearing and take in more <br />evidence as well. <br />ALAMEDA:I want to ask my fellow Commissioners, are there any objections for Mr. <br />Bill Eger providing oral argument? Hearing none, then we€ll allow that today. <br />3EXHIBIT B <br /> <br />
