FUKE:Yes, I do. GALDONES:Mr. Fuke, could you please state your name and your residence address? FUKE:Sure. My name is Sidney Fuke, IÓm a planning consultant. IÓm here representing or assisting the Applicant, CliftoÓs Kona Coast, LLC. My residence address is 1358 Mele Manu Street in Hilo. GALDONES:Mr. Fuke, as stated by Norman, there were some new communications that were submitted over to the Planning Department for our consideration, and I believe that you have also gone over the recommendations. Do you have any comments to those? FUKE:I guess, perhaps, like the first, well, IÓd like to, initially, acknowledge our appreciation for this CommissionÓs reconsideration on this matter, you know, particularly in light of the gravity of this project and the fact that there were only six Commissioners present at the last meeting. So I appreciate the Commission entertaining this reconsideration. Before moving on, however, I probably would want some clarification from the Chair, or if the Chair deems appropriate from your counsel, you know, rega appropriateness of, the type of testimony that may be broached with this Commission, you know, in light of the fact that the Commission hearing on this matter has been closed and now this is just a reconsideration. GALDONES:Ms. OÓToole? OÓTOOLE:Well, I donÓt know what Mr. Fuke means but the public is allowed to testify on any agenda item. So if they wish to testify on this motion, then we will allow it -. FUKE:Okay. OÓTOOLE:Or we should allow it, yeah. FUKE:So, essentially, then we can, the primary, the primary reas bringing that question up, Mr. Chairman, was just whether, I wanted to find out whether procedurally it would be appropriate to share with this body the information, to share with this body the County CouncilÓs Planning Committee recent action on this application. And hearing what Ms. OÓToole had to say, I guess, it would be appropriate? GALDONES:Ms. OÓToole -? 3
