UNGER: Great, thank you. Commissioners, any questions of the applicant? CARR SMITH: I just had one. The off-the-road, the little, small parking area by the archaeological sites, is that provided as access to the archaeological sites? FUKE: Thank you very much for pointing it out. So, when the burial treatment plan was prepared, one of the things that was called for not only physical preservation but also buffer, and that stub-out, as you pointed out, was intended to provide access to lineal descendants. CARR SMITH: Very good. Thank you. CHURCH: What's going to happen to the existing Living Stones church, I mean, does that mean that all the services get moved over here? I know there's some significant traffic that's caused currently from that church. What's going to happen to it? COOK: Well, our current Living Stones church on Alii Drive, we were able to lease a parcel of land on the mauka side of the roadway there by Royal Poinciana from Kamehameha Schools. They own that parcel. And we were able to create a church parking lot. In 2007 we negotiated a five-year lease for that space, and then 2012 we were able to get annual extensions for the parking lot for the church. And then a couple of years ago, they now have us down to basically a month-to-month lease, and so we have been looking for a new permanent location for our Living Stones church. And these sites are centrally located, as Mr. Fuke said, and the intent now is to continue our Living Stones church where it is now. As far as evening services on Sunday nights and a lot of the programs that we have would be down at that location, whereas a new church and the parking lot basically we would be in an enclose building. And so the concern that people had about traffic and everything, we feel like we won't be there so much. Our church where Living Stones is right now, we have, we have residents just to the north of us and just across the street mauka of us. Our church at Pine Trees we have an enclosed church there. We have, next to us is a Subway, and we have church service and music going on and it doesn't conflict with things, so we felt like, you know, that that would not be a problem. UNGER: Can you clarify the original intent of that access road through Pualani Estates, was to access your property? The stub-out right there, it dead-ends right into your property. Was that the original intent of that stub-out? COOK: That was basically a proposed mid-level road that the County set years ago to mauka of the highway to have a mid-level road going along the full length. I developed a project called Malulani Gardens back in the 90's and that was right by where Lowe's is now, a 120-unit project, and when we developed it, it was a long narrow parcel and we had to allow for a 60-foot right-of-way for this future mid-level road back in those days, and so there is a 60-foot wide right-of-way going between our second and third phase through Malulani Gardens that will eventually go to Palani Road. And so, where we are at, there at Pualani Estates, is the same road and it would be going through the lot that my company owns, Lot 041, toward Hualalai Road and then through the Bolton property to Hualalai Road and eventually going further north. 7 EXHIBIT A
