<br />GIFFIN: Thank you. Sir, are you Mac McInnis? You are. <br /> <br />M. McINNIS: He’s much better look -. <br /> <br />MADSON: He’s Mac. <br /> <br />M. McINNIS: I’m Mac McInnis. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: All right, thank you. <br /> <br />M. McINNIS: Good morning -. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Good morning. <br /> <br />M. McINNIS: Madam Chairman, Ms. Planning Director, gentlemen. I’m not going to waste time <br />with what I planned to say, because BJ has said exactly what the citizens are concerned about, the <br />transparency issue. The neighborhood meeting, BJ, we’ve had five meetings, and I think we know <br />who you are talking about, what developer, and we’ve got nowhere with the gentleman. You are <br />taking about different personality; this man holds his cards very close to his chest – some people are <br />that way. Neighborhood meetings are a good idea to start with, but what the citizens would like is <br />the opportunity to attend a meeting, a public meeting, whether at the Planning Commission or the <br />County Council, after the P.U.D. application has been made, and have their questions answered. <br />Just like my wife said, she is not a real estate expert, she is not a developer, she is not in a real estate <br />business; these people are good citizens and have very little knowledge of how the process works. <br />If they have a question, they’d like the ability to be able to stand up and raise their hand and say, BJ, <br />could you please explain how they got this size lots? It’s very simple. Just have a public meeting. <br />That’s all we are asking for. Thank you. Mahalo. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: You are very welcome. Commissioners, any questions of the testifier? Hearing none, sir? <br /> <br />MADSON: Yes. I’m Tom Madson, and I don’t have any testimony, but I have questions I don’t <br />understand the answers to. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Okay, good. If my memory serves me correctly, both you and Mr. McInnis testified in <br />December, correct? <br /> <br />MADSON: That’s correct. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: All right, thank you. Please go ahead with the statement of your questions. <br /> <br />MADSON: Okay. I was wondering what would be required to make the Bill 291, as it was <br />originally written, not in conflict with the county procedures. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Okay. Bobby Jean? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: You would need to amend the County Charter. <br /> <br />13 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
