<br />ONO: No. I could be wrong but the way you have trucks parked in the garage, that area, is that <br />an open area? <br /> <br />COTTLE: Yeah, the State property is opened. It’s not fenced. There’s no fencing, as far as I <br />recall, between the State’s property and the applicant’s property. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Thank you, Maija. Could I have the applicant or representatives come up, please. <br />Okay, if you could raise your right hand, please, the testifier. Do you swear and affirm to tell the <br />truth before the Windward Planning Commission over this matter? <br /> <br />HONG: Yes. <br /> <br />LEE LOY: I do. <br /> <br />ISHIBASHI: Okay, thank you so much. Go ahead. <br /> <br />HONG: Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Members of the Planning Commission, and Director <br />Kanuha. My name is Ted Hong. With me from my office is Sue Lee Loy, representing the <br />applicants, Michael and Cynthia Greenlaw. In terms of our presentation, the best description of <br />this application that I could think of was from an Electric Light orchestra song, “It’s A Living <br />Thing”, where the lyrics to the chorus apply directly to what the Greenlaws have created on their <br />property, “It’s a living thing. It’s a terrible thing to lose. It’s a giving thing. What a terrible thing <br />to lose.” And we are here this morning asking the Commission to preserve and continue the <br />living and giving things the Greenlaws have created. <br /> <br />With respect to our presentation, first I want to thank the Planning Director and the <br />representatives of the Planning Department, and say that we agree with and also suggests <br />modifications to the recommendations by the Planning Department. We circulated those, those <br />are on the blue sheets with respect to the water catchment business. We feel that these are <br />reasonable conditions, and certainly would like to discuss them. In terms of our presentation this <br />morning, I’m going to ask Michael and Cynthia to talk about themselves, the schools, their <br />business, and answer some of the Commission’s questions. Following that, I have a brief <br />statement regarding some of the recommendations or what Maija had highlighted regarding the <br />Puna CPD and General Plan. And I understand after that the Commission will take public <br />testimony. And then we’d like the opportunity, obviously, to clarify and answer any concerns that <br />come up during public testimony. So, Michael, Cynthia, would you like to, you know, talk about <br />yourselves, and the school, the business? <br /> <br />C. GREENLAW: Is this on? <br /> <br />HONG: I think it’s on already. <br /> <br />6 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> <br /> <br />
