I mine down there. I did—I was before you about a year ago or less than a year ago to get a Special Permit to mine, mine off and correct a large high bank, and I use the roads. I pay the, the fees, and I’d just like you to consider those facts. Thank you very much. MOSES: Thank you for your thoughts and testimony, Mark. Go ahead, you may proceed. PETROVIC: Good morning. My name is Bruce Petrovic. I live in Ocean View, and I support the applications of Arrow and, excuse me, Laura and David Rodrigues. The quarries provide a much needed, and on a lower cost, of cinder and rock materials. The closest quarry to Ocean View is in Kailua, 45 miles to the north. This adds additional trucking costs to those who can afford it, but most go without. I am also a former board member of the road corporation having resigned just this past April. The Board of Directors forged an agreement with the quarry operators back in February. It was a fair agreement. The road corporation agreed to repair the roads in the area, and the quarry operators went and installed appropriate aprons. They would also agree to help maintain the intersections in the general area. When I found out that some of the board of directors and its general manager would ignore this agreement and hire an attorney and a geotechnical engineer who by the way was first hired by Arrow in 2009, I resigned in protest. We have a divided board. The lot owners in the surrounding areas have paid over $300,000 in the last ten years, and have not received one patch so where’s all this money going? There spending it on lawyers and geotechnical engineers. I strongly urge you not to allow this to be contested. MOSES: Thank you, Bruce for your thoughts and testimony. Commissioners, any questions for testifiers? If not, thank you gentlemen. We have one more testifier on this matter, Laura Foster. FOSTER: Thank you— MOSES: Okay, Laura, hold on, I have to swear you in again. Could you please raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? FOSTER: I do. MOSES: Please state your name again, and the area you reside. Speak clearly in the microphone, and you will have three minutes. FOSTER: Laura Foster. I reside in Ocean View in the Ka‛ū District. I would just like to for the record state that Mr. Petrovic did resign from our corporate board. He did not give an explanation. He resigned for personal reasons, and he merely sent an email to our corporation 14 EXHIBIT B
