V , <br /> have it go around the island. And that would be a tremendous <br /> thing. <br /> So, it may be in the public hearing that we'll hear from people say, <br /> "Well, this is a great idea, but maybe we'd rather do it another <br /> way." So, we still have the door open. <br /> And I'd like to also say that I have been privy to information that <br /> maybe some of you haven't with regards to the plans of KIC for <br /> the whole area, and one of the things that I'm very happy about is <br /> the plan for what is now the Keauhou Gazdens to become an <br /> amphitheater in the future, and I'm not through with them yet in <br /> terms of negotiating. I think I can see thing's like, possibly, <br /> behind that amphitheater, a, you know, a baseball field, basketball <br /> courts, all kinds of possibilities that don't exist in Keauhou area <br /> today. <br /> And I think, you know, KIC, Bishop L'state, we all would be <br /> <br /> remiss if we at least didn't try to put something in there like that. <br /> Because, as the area grows, we're going to need more and more <br /> recreation. But this is just a start, and I hope that, when we have <br /> <br /> the public hearing, that people will come forwazd with their ideas. <br /> There are endless ideas, as we have endless minds. But, I <br /> appreciate the willingness if KIC to do what is going to be good <br /> for the people in the area. Thank you. <br /> <br /> ACTING CHR. SMITII: 'Thank you, Mr. Reynolds. <br /> Mr. Santangelo. <br /> MR. SAN'fANGCLO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Long ago when <br /> I pushed that button, there's been much dialogue since then. So <br /> sense to repeat it, accept to say that I appreciate the attempt to <br /> strengthen that nexus. 1'o say that, "Here's something that's being <br /> developed, and there should be a direct connection to the benefit to <br /> the community and the development there. And I applaud the <br /> developer and the Councilmember for trying to strengthen that. <br /> And, enough said. Thank you very much. <br /> ACTING CHR. SMITH: "thank you, Mc Santangelo. Mr. Tyler. <br /> MR. TYLL'R: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I neglected to ask one <br /> question of the applicant, here. Recently, it was reported in the <br /> newspaper that, Azabo has given up it's ownership lease of the <br /> Kona Gardens and the Keauhou Beach Hotel. Is that going to have <br /> any impact on this? I mean, I heard one impact already from <br /> Mr. Reynolds, but, in terms of the project? <br /> <br />
