Commissioners need to keep the personal feelings aside and look at the technical merits of the <br /> application and follow your rules. That's all I have. Thank you very much. <br /> DEFRANCO: Thank you Nancy. Do any of the Commissioners have any <br /> questions for the testifiers so far? Okay, so, we have. Thank you, Nancy. We have one testifier <br /> here, an in-person testifier. Can we call him now? Yeah, so, Ian Langevieria. Oh, sorry. Yeah, <br /> either one and just come and sit down and turn your mic on and I'm just going to ask you to raise <br /> your right hand and it's that little button on the bottom, the very bottom. There you go. <br /> LANGEVIN: How about that. <br /> DEFRANCO: And put the, yeah, aloha. I'm just going to swear you in. Do you <br /> swear to tell the truth today in front of the Commission? <br /> LANGEVIN: I do. <br /> DEFRANCO: Okay and then just state your name and where you're from. <br /> LANGEVIN: Thanks. Commissioners, my name is Ian Langevin and I'm — <br /> DEFRANCO: Put it right here, so — <br /> LANGEVIN: Okay. <br /> DEFRANCO: Okay. <br /> LANGEVIN There we go. <br /> DEFRANCO: Thank you. <br /> LANGEVIN: My name is Ian Langevin and I'm a 35-year resident of Waimea. I <br /> raised my family there and I have been involved with this subject land for since 2002, back when <br /> it was a total mess. So, if I could spend my first maybe only 2 minutes on the first agenda item <br /> which I believe is the rezoning to commercial. A little clarity on that, I was actually the individual <br /> that requested the rescinding of 93 or was it 95-63, 93-65 the ordinance that changed that to <br /> commercial and there was a pretty extreme amount of conditions on the zoning change of zoning <br /> application at the time. Including the stop light and this is back in early 2000's. The time limit <br /> had expired on the property, or the rezoning application had expired and in order to get the <br /> subdivision to five (5) acres we needed to rescind the commercial. At the time that was CN-7.5 as <br /> was previously pointed out, which I believe is a slightly higher density than what Mr. Metzler is <br /> applying for now. <br /> That particular area as previously mentioned was had basically become a dump site for the town of <br /> Waimea. All the town when they cleaned it out and they widened the roads, all that material <br /> ended up on that land. It was a really, really a sad mess and I give John a lot of credit for <br /> investing the time and effort and resources and whatnot and really cleaning it up. I mean it was a <br /> 10 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
