GALDONES: Carlton, you may begin your testimony. BELLO: Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Board, on behalf of the Volunteer Fire Station, I'm the Volunteer Fire Chief of Pepeekeo, Continental Pacific has really helped out with the community and with the volunteers stationed out there. Not only have they given the community hunting and fishing accesses, they've improved the roads for our fire trucks to get down to the areas where brush fires have been coming up now and then. Thcy'vc helped us with our volunteer station by making a donation for a security fence to keep the trespassers out in doing graffiti and vandalism on our station area. In regards to that, I'djust like to say, please vote in favor of their request. Thank you. GALDONES: Thank you. Commissioners, any question of Mr. Bello? If not, Mr. Bannister? BANNISTER: Commission or Board, this is William Bannister, on behalf of the, I always say church there in Pepeekeo, and it's called the Hamakua Coast Assembly of God; and we support what Continental is doing. And I think so, was this year, this past year, they've been very generous to the community. This past year, I think they did a number of contribution for our youth ministry, youth ministry in the community there; and we were able to send 20 youths to the youth convention. And, so, that's really a plus for the community. And, also, they've been helping us out, cutting the grass, you know, it's kind of, the grass kind of, in the part of the section there it's really growing; and they've been really, just being generous to the community. So we just support them and we, too, support what they're doing in there. GALDONES: Thank you. Ms. Mendoza? I received your sign-up sheet. Can you come to the table, too? Thank you. Claudia? ROHR: My name is Claudia Rohr and my address is 369 Nene Street in Hilo. I'm wondering if the Planning Department brought the shoreline plan today to share with us, the subdivision plan showing the shoreline access, the approved plan and public easements? GALDONES: Hold on while we look for it. ROHR: Well, first of all, you might want to continue this until they can get the right materials up so we can discuss this. I'm not in opposition of the approval of the SMA but I believe that you should consider some conditions. I believe there is a settlement with the Board of Appeals for the overall 92-parcel development and some of the, they had some agreements concerning the shoreline access. I've gone down there and run into a lot of frustrating situations. And I have reviewed what works and what doesn't work, where there's actual public casements on title, and where there arc some gaps in the public access. 8
