E. KRIEG: This is the subject property right here. It's directly east, just above. The subject property, that's my, directly south of the property and ...(inaudible) Hawaii Belt Highway and there's a blind curve, a mean curve in that road there which we're trying to also expouse to that, signify having to take down a whole hillside to be able to have egress and ingress into this property. There is none at this point in time. CHAIRMAN: Thank you. Is there anyone else wishing to testify on this agenda item? Please raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii County Planning Commission? MCDONALD: I do. CHAIRMAN: State your name and resident address, please. MCDONALD: My name is Ruby Keaainaina McDonald, PO Box 85, Kailua Kona, Hawaii. McDonald is with an M-c, not an M-a-c. Thank you. I was just sitting back there and listening to [his, and I'm very familiar with this property and Mr. Mahi. I don't know these people, but thank you very much. I just had a chance to read what you put out for the public hearing cause I wasn't familiar with this. I just have, in the addendum to the rezoning application, I don't know if you have it, you probably do, February 19, 1996, in there it states that the property was inspected and walked by Gregg Kashiwa. In summary, it was afour-hour inspection and he observed that there were no historic sites or archaeological features. He commented on the plant life and the wild life. I'd like to know what qualifies him as an archaeologist, or botanist, or the experts that should be looking at this type of features. Cause I know for a fact, the Mormon, this is a very junk map, but the Mormon Church isn't [oo far from there, and they have a lot of burials, there are lot of cemeteries, there were a lot of features. I also sit on the State Burial Council and we've heard a lot of cases with a lot of archaeological features in that area with burials. So it's just through my own personal experience CHAIRMAN: We don't know what his qualifications are. They aren't listed. But we have the same information as you. MCINTOSH: Mr. Chairman, if I could respond to that. One of the conditions of rezoning is a full archaeological survey to be submitted to and approved by the Director. That was part of the discussion in the previous application. So, and the new Zoning Code does require a historical survey. So those issues will be addressed as part of the subdivision process. CHAIRMAN: Thank you, Commissioner McIntosh. MCDONALD: Okay, thank you. -35-
