I had not heard a disparaging word from anyone in the neighborhood until I read W. H. <br />Shipman’s objections. Based on the vast majority of positive support and the level of site <br />improvement that continues, it is my opinion that Shipman’s opposition is unfounded. It seems <br />to me that rehabilitating and turning productive such a community risk and eyesore is indeed <br />serving the intent of the Puna Community Development Plan, however, apparently not the W. H. <br />Shipman Development Plan. I thank the Commission for the opportunity. <br />WATANABE: Okay. Do we have any questions for Mr. Betts? Yes. <br />BOWMAN: I just have a, because I’m not again familiar with Hilo, are there other <br />bottling companies? <br />BETTS: Yes, Ma’am. Hawaiian Springs is located approximately 7/10 of a mile <br />from the proposed site; and Aloha Water is up in Shipman Park. <br />BOWMAN: Okay, thank you. <br />HOUSEL: Is there a well on site there? <br />BETTS: They’re being developed as we speak. <br />HOUSEL: I see. Cause, so the intent is to put a well in. <br />BETTS: The well has been dug and there’s a pump now, but we’re awaiting water <br />at the top yet. <br />HOUSEL: I see. <br />WATANABE: Any further questions? Okay, seeing none you may be seated. <br />BETTS: Thank you. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Let’s get Shipman up here then. Mr. Yeh? May I swear you <br />in, Mr. Yeh. <br />YEH: Yes. <br />WATANABE: Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning <br />Commission? <br />YEH: I do, thank you. <br />WATANABE: Okay. And, of course, name and address, please. <br />YEH: My name is Thomas Yeh. My business address is 85 West Lanikaula <br />Street and I’m the attorney for W. H. Shipman, Ltd. The president of W. H. Shipman, Bill <br />Walter, is here in case any questions come up, too. <br /> EXHIBIT C <br />7 <br /> <br />
