Waiki‘i Music Festival is the first item on the agenda. And I can only speculate without assurance <br />that the board will approve this event. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: I see, all right. Is there anything else you’d like to add? <br /> <br />MCANIFF: No, ma’am. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: All right. Commissioners, do you have any questions of -. I’m sorry, I didn’t get your <br />last name. <br /> <br />MCANIFF: It’s McAniff, M-C-A-N-I-F-F, McAniff. And my initials are T.J. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Okay. Commissioners, any questions? He serves as their current president of the board, <br />correct? <br /> <br />MCANIFF: Yes, ma’am. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Hearing none, Daryn. <br /> <br />ARAI: Madam Chairwoman, I wanted to clarify for the Commission that while the board itself has <br />not taken action regarding the specifics of the use of association lands for this event, by letter dated <br />February 13, 2012, Mr. McAniff did authorize for the filing of this special permit application to <br />allow the annual public music festival and related activities on a portion of these lands. So that’s by <br />letter that authorized the filing of the application. Beyond that, you know, so I just wanted to make <br />it clear that we did, the Commission did have the authority to proceed and process this application <br />before you. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: The Department. Sure. <br /> <br />ARAI: Yeah. And there are some additional landowners involved, because it is used, a portion of <br />the event will utilize these other private lands, and we have those landowners’ authorizations as <br />well. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Thank you very much. Tom. <br /> <br />WHITTEMORE: Just a quick question. There are two landowners, and I know one of them is <br />residence, the Takamines, for instance, who will be directly impacted; they are right in the dead <br />center in the middle of all of this. Has the board spoken to those immediate homeowners to get <br />their read on what, whether they are in favor of this or? <br /> <br />MCANIFF: Well, we have not approached them directly, though we did open the issue of do you <br />approve, do you approve the festival or not, and opened up that to homeowners. And Tim Bostock <br />has worked with the landowners. Really Ms. Twigg-Smith owns the lot where the parking will take <br />place, and he assured me that she approved that, she has no problem with it. And the Takamines <br />have a lot adjacent to the parking area, but they are not directly affected other than by having all this <br />traffic next door. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Okay. Tom. <br /> <br />20 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
