oath in the recorded LPC meeting that we had not discussed it with her, ever. One of the Commissioners,Mr. Kanuha, actually stated that the reason he voted against approval was that the applicant had failed to contact neighboring property owners about the project!!! When Ms. Counter initially contacted us about the project,John explained to Ms. Counter that the property would have to be subdivided in order to sell her a portion of the property and he would speak to her after receiving subdivision approvals. The Counters purchased their property in April of 2020 and paid $595,000. 3. I contacted Myron & Debra Lindsey who live in the subdivision across the street, consisting of 10,000 sq. ft. lots. I have discussed our project in several telephone conversations and emails with Myron. Myron told me he supports our effort to develop the property but because of family and community relations he was afraid to put anything in writing in support of the project. We talked many times to the Lindseys about our project, and we have lots of emails to prove that statement. 4. We talked many times to Mr. Ian Langevin about our project,via verbal conversations and emails. 5. We attempted several times to contact the owner of Atlas Recycle through their broker Downy Sylva and asked Ms. Sylva to have the owner contact me. Atlas Recycle owns a commercially zoned property in close proximity to our property on Mamalahoa Highway. The owner did not return my telephone calls. 6. I telephoned Joseph G. Pickard,Environet, several times, and left messages about our project. Environet also is located on a commercially zoned property on Mamalahoa Highway. I never received a returned telephone call. 7. John & I personnally visited the Pizza Restaurant across the street and spoke with the owner,James Angelo,who was familiar with the work by my husband's firm,Metzler Contracting Co., and was supportive of our efforts to re-zone and sub-divide our project. 8. I attempted to contact Nancy Hwang Haines,the owner of the building housing the Fish & the Hog restaurant, in addition to several other tenants in the building but after several attempts was unsuccesful in reaching her. 9. I did not attempt to contact John Kawano or his wife Ceci Davinport or the other activists from the TNT telescope who testified against the project. Mr. Kawano operates several businesses, a welding shop and a party supply outfit from his Ag-5 acre property. We have never complained about the noise or the dust created by the businesses operated on his property nor can
