RECONVENED The meeting reconvened at 3:50 p.m. ALAMEDA: The Hawaii County Planning Commission now returning to order. All righty. All right, we gave some time for Mr. Hardy-Sullivan to state his witnesses on the record. Did the Corp. Counsel get a chance to get that? SELF: No, not yet. We’ve got two, but I don’t know if those are the only two he wants. Could I also suggest that we, instead of wasting time at the next hearing, that we determine the relevancy of the witnesses he is requesting today, so we can hash it out now and not have to deal with it at the hearing? ALAMEDA: Mr. Torigoe? TORIGOE: If the parties are willing to try and do that, you can do that, or you can just direct that at this point. ALAMEDA: Let me, I can try to facilitate that. Okay? SELF: Thank you. ALAMEDA: You are welcome. LIM: One addition for the intervenor was, I forgot to mention, Mr. Curtis DeWeese would also be testifying. He’s been qualified as an expert during the hearings, so I would also have him. ALAMEDA: Okay. Mr. Hardy-Sullivan? HARDY-SULLIVAN: We feel like we are kind of being railroaded here. Especially when I was just trying to give, as soon as the break came along, before I was able even to research names here, Ms. Self came over who, who, who, and I was fairly giving and I thought, well, is that, okay, it’s not a problem, if I give that information, and Mr. Yuen in a way like forcing information which I wanted to present before the Counsel. I like to have Mr. Philip Tinguely as a witness who we previously subpoenaed for intent of his letter which was in the PD exhibits. He was not allowed, and we have, nobody’s been able to testify to the intent of his letter. Mr. Galen Kuba who previously testified, was very evasive of any questions, disallowed that he did not even know Phil until we kind of reminded him a little bit, then he finally agreed, but also afterwards said that he does not impart information freely, and I think a county representative in any hearing should. I don’t know he wouldn’t. Miss Lillian Fox who has told me, I’ve been away, I was in China for a couple of weeks, there is grading of a new property that’s going to be approved because they are grading. I believe it’s called Kona Palms on the south side of the Alii Lani Condominium, which has been flooding even though they are on the south side of the XE flood zone. And a part of a cause was that that is down hill down stream from the previous development, Kuakini Hights or something I think, which I’m sure was to adhere to all restrictions and things that the Commission had about down stream flooding. But as soon as the property was graded, it flooded. The same is going to happen with the property directly below the Sunstone development, which leads to our property where there has been previous flooding, which leads to the ocean, which has Class AA waters and could possibly be affected.
