meantime, the—Mr. Olson had contracted the same archaeological consultant to prepare a
<br /> preservation plan. So, there is a preservation plan already,but it's not approved, and it can't be
<br /> approved until, you know, chronologic—from a procedural standpoint, you have to have the
<br /> inventory survey approved and then you can act on the preservation plan. I mean, that's the
<br /> protocol that they go through,but they have that plan already prepared.
<br /> So, we have in that preservation plan, there is like a buffer indicating, you know, how wide it
<br /> should be, but we don't know ultimately what size it will be, whether it will be 2.11 acres as kind
<br /> of shown on the map or something larger or smaller. So, very definitely the layout that you see
<br /> on there based on the staff's condition and what we have to go through relative to the cemetery is
<br /> definitely, it's not going to look like that, and I think it will be better and in the long run.
<br /> CLARKSON: Thank you. Any questions for the Applicant's representative?
<br /> AU: Mr. Chair, I have a question. Mr. Fuke, I have a couple questions. The first question I
<br /> have is in regards to the headstones. Has any of the families come forward that you know of?
<br /> Or maybe staff, has any families of these headstones or of any families of the cemetery come
<br /> forward?
<br /> FUKE: Well, all I have is just the information that the archaeologists provided us, and then the
<br /> short answer was no. Because, you know, it seems like there is no, I guess, like entity or
<br /> individuals that frequent that area and, you know, clean it up, and that's the reason why it was
<br /> very difficult I think, you know, to see the extent of the cemetery. You know, if you go up and
<br /> down the coast, a lot of these plantation communities,you're going to find a lot of these
<br /> cemeteries, and so—but as far as the preservation program, I don't know whether they need to
<br /> find descendants of the, descendants of, you know, those who are buried there and then try to
<br /> make contact. I know if you have a burial treatment plan, you know, you have to make some
<br /> effort to do that. But, the short answer to your question is, is that no.
<br /> AU: Okay, second question is your project timetable and costs. Can you just talk about that a
<br /> bit? You know, I mean, I'm looking at it, and I'm reading it, but maybe tell me what that three
<br /> million dollars is going to incur. Is it the bare minimum or is the Applicant going to go out and
<br /> beyond what they are required to? And, talk about the time table.
<br /> FUKE: Well, first of all, from a timetable standpoint, you know, the, Mr. Olson would like to
<br /> whether it's on his own or like working with a partner and, you know, if he has to sell,he has to
<br /> sell,but, you know, he is like I'believe like 87, 87 years old. So, his timeline, the development
<br /> timeline is much shorter than many of us, but I think that in a perfect world, he'd like to really
<br /> kind of like get started immediately. However, before you can actually, you know, make it
<br /> shovel ready, there's a lot of steps that has to be taken prior to that. One is, you know, obviously
<br /> as we mentioned earlier, the archaeological thing, the plans gotta be redrawn, you know, to
<br /> reflect the north-south and east-west kind of connection.
<br /> The other thing is like the sewer connection. You know, `cause the sewer line is in the Wainaku
<br /> area, but it doesn't necessarily abut the property and one of the conditions require like not only
<br /> connection, but you have to also do a study, and if there's going to be an upgrade required, then
