From: Lisa Hall <br /> To: LPCtestimonv <br /> Subject: IMMEDIATE DELAY REQUIRED FOR THE OPPOSED JEKATERINA MYSIN SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA USE <br /> PERMIT APPLICATION SMA 21-000078 IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE DEFECTIVE PUBLIC RECORD. <br /> Date: Monday,November 18,2024 1:58:26 PM <br /> Aloha to the Esteemed Planning Commissioners and Department Staff, <br /> I write to request an immediate delay and continuance of the upcoming <br /> review of the JEKATERINA MYSIN SPECIAL MANAGEMENT AREA USE <br /> PERMIT APPLICATION (SMA 21-000078), scheduled for the Leeward <br /> Planning Commission meeting on November 21, 2024. It is my firm belief <br /> that moving forward under the current conditions would be a disservice to <br /> the public, as serious issues related to multiple contradicting and duplicate <br /> revisions submitted into the record, lack of clarity, clouded transparency, <br /> and due process with correct information remain unresolved. <br /> First and foremost, there is widespread public confusion surrounding the <br /> site plans associated with this project. The public has been presented with <br /> conflicting versions of these plans, each outlining different uses and <br /> developments for the site. This ongoing inconsistency has left the <br /> community in a state of uncertainty, unsure of exactly what is being <br /> proposed or how to effectively weigh in. Without a final, clear proposal of <br /> record, it is impossible for the public to provide insightful feedback, which <br /> undermines the entire process for which the commission was set up to <br /> protect. <br /> The public comment period concludes today, yet the specific permit and <br /> plan versions under review remain unclear and there is undeniable <br /> ambiguity regarding which permit and plan versions in the record are being <br /> evaluated and reviewed for potential approval. Unfortunately, critical <br /> information is missing and the record is not transparent and as such it is <br /> essential that this meeting be postponed until a single, cohesive site plan is <br /> presented, one that accurately reflects what is being asked of the <br /> Commission and of the Public to Approve or Deny in the official public <br /> record. <br /> The Sunshine Laws that govern public participation in such decisions have <br /> been violated by the ongoing submission of conflicting and incomplete <br /> materials. With multiple plans still circulating and little time for review the <br /> public cannot fully grasp the impact of the multiple submissions by the <br /> petitioner. This violates the spirit of transparency mandated by law. <br /> Another major issue is the outdated background report provided by the <br />
