ALAMEDA: Question maybe for Mr. Torigoe. If the application process was kind of like flawed in the beginning, in other notice wasn’t properly given, then wouldn’t that make everything after flawed as well, if you will? So how can we grant standing on the application that was given? I mean, the application is not fully complete. So how can we move to the next step? GRAHAM: Mr. Torigoe? TORIGOE: Thank you. I’m assuming that the application is complete, except that notice to some of the surrounding property owners was not properly given or fully given. So in that sense, you know, you give the notice so that people can come forward and apply for standing if that’s what they want to do; and apparently the Association did get enough notice so that they could do that. So I think you could go forward with just that part. But if you want to put that off too, that’s all right also. GRAHAM: Other than that, Mr. Melrose, now you’ve heard a bit back and forth, and we’d like your take on the matter on how you’d like us to proceed. Start with your name and address, please. MELROSE: I’m Jeffrey Melrose, 1405 Waianuenue, representing the applicant, 130 Holding LLC I think is the technical name of the applicant. But we don’t have a problem with the Community Association’s intervention. Certainly as a representative of the surrounding neighbors he certainly, to me, does have standing in this conversation. I’ve only recently been asked to help with this process. And one of the first tests in that process was was notice given, and it was not adequately given; and that’s something we need to get done appropriately. So that’s part of the next set of steps. So that’s what we will do. And also we’ll have communications with the Association in the meantime. Whether or not notice generates more activity, we don’t know. I mean posting a sign on that street is going to get more people involved in it as well, which was not done. So I think those issues -. You’re right not to set the hearing meeting now because it may shift over that period of time. And should for some reason we’re able to come to an understanding with the Association, then we could avoid it all together. But we will be spending time, you know, in the next month to do that. And I guess you guys don’t meet again till February or something like that, is that true, on this side? GRAHAM: Jeff is nodding so I believe February would be our next meeting on this side. MELROSE: Yeah, so -. But I think there are some, you know, the project has more than just a time issue at issue here from the applicant’s point of view. There’s some real significant cost issues and the ability to, you know, waterlines, and a series of things that are a part of their requirement to complete. And so those things have been, it has been a moving target for Mr. Woods for quite some time, and there have been a variety of changes in the neighborhood with different users taking different portions of the business EXHIBIT C 6
