AU: Ms. Shen, is this going to be rated? I know it’s still early. But do you foresee it being a
<br />Platinum LEED or Gold LEED project?
<br />
<br />SHEN: Well, at minimum it would be silver; and I think, you know, the school would try, would
<br />like to achieve the highest level as feasible. But at this point, you know, at least silver.
<br />
<br />AU: Okay, any more questions for the testifiers, sorry, applicants? You’re not testifying yet.
<br />Okay, well, you can be seated. Okay, again, I’m going to reiterate - bear in mind testifiers, we
<br />have 15 people testifying - you have three minutes; and, you know, we’ve heard a lot of
<br />testimony before so, you know, please keep that in mind.
<br />
<br />ONO: Mr. Chair, can I ask for a five-minute break, please.
<br />
<br />AU: Yes, break.
<br />
<br />RECESSED – The Chair recessed the meeting at 11:59 a.m.
<br />
<br />RECONVENED – The Chair reconvened the meeting at 12:05 p.m.
<br />
<br />AU: Okay, we have 19 people signed up to testify. And I will be granting Sidney Fuke to testify
<br />on behalf of himself and four other people, and I’ll give him, I’ll give you 10 minutes. Okay?
<br />I’ll give you 10 minutes to testify. We have a Jeff Gomes here to testify on himself, oh, I’m just
<br />letting you know that I will give you more time cause you’re also testifying on, representing your
<br />wife. Okay? So maybe what I’ll do is we’ll go with Sidney first and then I’ll bring the next four
<br />people up. So can you raise your right hand first, oh, you’re actually already sworn. So you can
<br />go ahead and get started. And your clock starts when, as soon as you speak.
<br />
<br />FUKE: Mr. Chairman, you know, the alternative is like we could have the four people and then,
<br />you know, they could just read what I’m doing; and with me it will be total 15 minutes. So, I
<br />mean, you know, just trying to do the math. But, anyway I’m speaking on behalf of like today
<br />not as a consultant but as a citizen, and more so as a member of the affected community. What
<br />I’d like to do today is basically to summarize the community’s concerns; and as you kind of
<br />mentioned earlier, you know, it’s kind of like redundant already. And, however, to frame those
<br />concerns against the criteria for a special permit, I think that, you know, from the community’s
<br />standpoint we believe that there is sufficient basis at this point in time for denial action by the
<br />Commission. These concerns of what I’m going to be sharing with you have been expressed in
<br />the document that was prepared by Retired Judge Yoshioka and a copy of which, with some
<br />editing, was already provided to the Commission this morning.
<br />
<br />The question like now is who is the community? And I think the community is really important,
<br />because as was evidenced in your previous application I think there was discussion about the
<br />importance of getting community input. If you purely rely on just don’t worry about it because
<br />the Office of State Plan or another agency, everything is all honky dory, then you really don’t
<br />need to have community input. And that’s the reason why we’re all here today. There are notice
<br />requirements, there’s a public hearing requirement, so on and so forth. Who is the community?
