Norman. HAYASHI:Thank you, Mr. Chair and Members of the Commission. We did th receive a motion from Doutor Coffee dated, we received the request dated October 15 and that was a motion, a request for consideration of a Motion to Amend Something Previously Adopted. All of the parties were informed that this motion was filed by copy of the letter that we acknowledged receipt, that was acknowledged. I have nothing further to add on this matter. GALDONES:Commissioners, any question of Norman? Hearing none, could we have the parties, the representative and the Applicant come to the table; and we recognize that Mr. Yuen, also, has joined them there. Could you please raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS:I do. GALDONES:The request has been made by the ApplicantÓs representa Mr. Tsukazaki. I will allow you to start up the, or address the motion that you had made before the Planning Commission. Please state your name, your residence address and you may begin your testimony. TSUKAZAKI:Thank you. My name is Ben Tsukazaki. My address is 1 Street, Hilo. IÓm the attorney for the Applicant. With me here this afternoon is Wally Dahlen, who is the operations manager. I thank you for taking us out of order and I thank the other applicants here for allowing us to do this. A short matter of background, this Special Permit d this body on August 1, 2003. The Applicant filed the request for reconsideration on th August 13. There was a hearing subsequent to that and there was no action taken. During that hearing the Corp. Counsel indicated that it appeared that there was some inaccuracy in how I framed the motion. And so I indicated at the end of that meeting that th I would reform the motion and refile it; and we did do that on O. Again, to be clear, this is not a motion of mine. This is a request for this body to consider making a motion or entertaining a motion, so I want to be clear on that. Substance-wise, you know, the background is the, as the Commission may recall, the issue of the large bus was something that was a critical issue to my client. And as IÓve stated previously on the record, itÓs critical in light of the fact that there are other coffee farms who are doing tours and theyÓre using large buses, and my client is prohibited under your decision. 2
