know I don't think there's any particular formula to it. If I happen <br /> to have the time and I can...I don't like to see plans backing up...I <br /> don't like to have to see were people are going back and forth back <br /> and forth and quite frankly I see many times where because there's <br /> such a lack of structural engineers on this island...that...I'm kind <br /> of sympathetic of the need that some people need help...there's <br /> certain unique situations where I can help people...and that's why <br /> I help people when I can...but that is very rare that I can and so it's <br /> kind of a case by case objective situation you know. <br /> Mr. Adams: In your...in the process of approving the plans...your piece of <br /> that...is there any concern that you have that you're reviewing the <br /> calculations that others have done as a part of your approval <br /> process...but when you're doing the approval...when you're doing <br /> the calculations...are you having anybody else look at those as a <br /> part of that process or are you approving your own calculations as <br /> a part of that process. <br /> Mr. Lee: Yeah. Nobody else is qualified especially on this case to do steel <br /> and you know structural steel and structural steel columns and <br /> beams. No one in our office is qualified to do that. That's why <br /> actually I have to admit it's a very...it's not a good thing actually <br /> to be doing that so that's why I'm highlighting that Mr. Kerr <br /> received preferential and bias treatment in that regard because I <br /> actually helped him...I actually helped him. That's why today I'm <br /> sitting here wondering what's going on. <br /> Mr. Adams: Thanks Mr. Lee. Mr. Gonzalez...just to ask if 1 may about <br /> the...response letter that we received from the Department of <br /> Public Works dated September 27. You have a copy there with <br /> you? <br /> Mr. Gonzalez: Thank you...yes I do. <br /> Mr. Adams: So in the first paragraph...you make the comment that the Board <br /> of Appeals has exclusive jurisdiction to conduct hearings review or <br /> review the decisions of the planning director or director of public <br /> works regarding matters within their respective jurisdictions. Of <br /> course that comes from the Charter 6-9.2. When I go to the <br /> Charter...I don't see the term exclusive listed as a part <br /> of...regarding exclusive jurisdiction. It's clear that the Board of <br /> Appeals is responsible for hearing and determining appeals for <br /> final decisions are the planning director or director of public works <br /> regarding matters within prospective jurisdictions and conducting <br /> hearings in accordance with Chapter 91 of the HRS and the <br /> Charter and they are a part of the planning department for <br /> 33 <br />
