ROY: Yes. My name is Corbett Roy. My address is 6799 Hawaii Kai Drive in Honolulu. The zip code is 96825. I’m here basically to testify against the development. There are many reasons why I feel that it shouldn’t be built, but I’m just mentioning one. According to the building plans, I believe there will be only 15 or 16 people enjoying the beautiful view of the surf, the sunset and everything else. Among our citizenry, the included, there will be this obstacle where you cannot enjoy the view and the surf. We have Ali‘i Drive, it’s completely blocked all the way down. This is one of the only open areas. Please, let’s try to preserve it, and that will be helpful. Now I thank you for allowing me to testify today. But if I understand itcorrectly, I just read the morning paper, that you have already made decisions -. COMMISSIONERS: No. ROY: And I’m glad for it. It seems to me like you have made certain decisions that will work out and I’m happy for that. I just happened to get a glimpse of it yesterday afternoon very late. I was not here to attend the early meetings but I saw what happened; and I’m grateful for it. And the Kanuha family has done a wonderful job of doing the cleanup work and maintaining it. We are direct descendents also of that ‘ohana down there. I, the Roy family, through our Hawaiian connection come from Kawei A Kanuha (phonetic), and she comes down all the way. Naluahine, our last certified one, who can certify all the genealogies in Kona, is my tutu. So I can tell you that we have ohana here. We are the that stayed behind to look after the ,and we want to continue that. Thank you very much. HOUSEL: Thank you very much for your testimony. To clarify what the Commission decided yesterday, this matter, actually the contested case hearing, which we intended to hold yesterday th afternoon and today, was continued for several reasons until February 17. And notice will be published notifying that meeting to be held, it’ll certainly probably likely to be here. So no formal decisions have been made yet by the Commission. So there is still a lot of the contested case hearing to be held before any, the Commission will make any decision. ROY: Thank you for explaining that. HOUSEL: So thank you very much for your testimony. ARAI: Mr. Chairman? HOUSEL: Yes. ARAI: I just want to clarify that the hearing was scheduled for February 16, 17, and 18, which is Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. HOUSEL: Okay. ARAI: And we did confirm that we do have room reservations here. th HOUSEL: Okay, so it will start on February 16, is that right? ARAI: Yes, 16, 17, 18. 5 EXHIBIT E
