CARR SMITH: Mr. Van Pernis, I want to make sure we get to the other Commissioners. If you
<br /> can
<br /> VAN PERNIS: Okay, I'll, I have a question of the Planning Director, but I'll reserve that for
<br /> later.
<br /> CARR SMITH: All right, very good. Commissioners, any other questions of the applicant?
<br /> VITOUSEK: Sure, I mean, I guess my question being that, you know, we are receiving a lot of
<br /> information very late in the game, and if in any way it's possible to continue this, if you guys
<br /> might be agreeable to that,to a next-month meeting so that we have the opportunity to review the
<br /> information that has been submitted to us.
<br /> FUKE: Madam Chair, I think that's, it's a totally reasonable request because I think there is a lot
<br /> of information out there. The staff provided you with, you know, a couple of inches, and we
<br /> provided additional information this morning. So, yes, I think that would be a reasonable
<br /> request.
<br /> CARR SMITH: So on that topic, so these items that we were given this morning that we haven't
<br /> had a chance to look at, so these are addressing your responses to each of the conditions?
<br /> FUKE: Yeah, so, you know, I prepared these proposed recommendations for approval in the
<br /> absence of, you know, the Planning Director's recommendation. So I used the original reasons
<br /> for the recommendation for approval, and I just made some slight editing, the editing being like
<br /> the reference to the Kona Community Development Plan, and more critically are the conditions;
<br /> the conditions reflect pretty much what we had proposed. Now, I don't know whether the
<br /> Director, assuming that he would be, you know, he was going to recommend approval, I don't
<br /> know what the Director's position on the conditions would have been.
<br /> The only change, I must confess that, in the interest of time, that I did not make change to, you
<br /> know, would be the fair share number, but I'm sure that that's an editorial thing that you've got
<br /> to just mathematically just change the numbers. But I didn't have time to make the change. But
<br /> all of the others are pretty much what we were representing in the beginning.
<br /> CARR SMITH: Had the County asked you to provide a timeline that maybe they did not
<br /> receive?
<br /> FUKE: No, they did, the County did, through Christian, the staff, they asked like what's the
<br /> development's time, timetable and all that. All we could just do was just like in generic, you
<br /> know, generic term because first of all, you know, understandably, Brian, you know, Puaa and
<br /> Suffolk independently, they are not able to do the project as was originally conceived; they need
<br /> somebody strong like Spring Capital, you know, to come in. Knowing that there is a number of
<br /> regulatory permits they still have to go through, you know, like finishing up the design and
<br /> getting all of the necessary approvals by the County, I mean, you know, we can project
<br /> realistically maybe like about a two-year window within which before like a first building permit
