thth think that the August 6, 6 date is a little bit too soon in order to, you know, spend the next month to work on resolving. We will not be able to address preparing for this hearing which is going to require as Mr. Arai [sic] said witnesses and preparing exhibits and things like that so, I would respectfully request a little bit more time, I think, a—maybe four months might be a better—three to four months might be better. PATEL: Would the applicants have any response as to the date? DAHLBERG: Thank you, Mr. Patel. We disagree with that. We’d like to move this along quicker. We believe August is even too much time. We request 45 days from today’s date if possible. This has been going on since October of 2014. David Rodrigues just got rolled up into the petition. He hasn’t even had a chance to present his side of the story. He’s a family run business and he’s been shut down since October of 2014. PATEL: So, Commissioners, you’ve heard what the petitioner and the applicants have had to th say. Staff recommended the August 6 date. You know, if you have questions as to other potential dates, feel free to ask. Otherwise, there would be an—there would need to be a motion as to what date this contested case hearing is going to be continued to. MOSES: Commissioners, motion to continue contested case hearing to the date as proposed by the staff, Planning Department? Do we have a motion? HEAUKULANI: If we split the difference and found the date in September, what would, date would that be? I think it’s in everybody’s best interest to give the parties time to try to work this out if they can. ARAI: For September, the next Windward Planning Commission meeting would be September the third. DARROW: If I may interject. What we can do, I mean, consideration, the, as the representative for the petition, petition had mentioned is that the parties are trying to resolve to come to an agreement, and so they’re asking for more time for that to happen, including the time, if it doesn’t work, they’ve gotta prepare for this. So, if, it might be better, like what you were saying is, to consider a, that those issues going on, as far as resolving it, but if there’s a breakdown in communication that occurs between this, then during that time, we have to begin this pre-hearing conference schedule, which is going to take—what would you say at least one month? Approximately a month and a half to go through this process of submittals and being able to respond to those submittals for each parties. So, that has to be taken into consideration. Now, at any given time, if they do come to an agreement, then they can request to be placed on the next agenda. CHAMBERLAIN (from audience): Mrs. Chairman, may I speak? 21 EXHIBIT B
