that. Mr. Winnie, is that something that you can confirm? Has the architectural recordation of this site been confirmed by Historic Preservation at all? WINNIE: I think documents are stating that fact,but I have not been involved in the historic process. I've only been employed by Ms. Cash since December, and that all happened before I came on board. I have prepared plans for corrections to the property in the NOV, and the—what do you call it—the pavilion and the pool basically are also part of our submission then - - - I'm involved in this process right here before you. So I'm not really up to speed on all the issues on the basic—what would you call it—the special use permit- - -prepare it. VITOUSEK: Okay, you know, personally I believe that, as Alex and the applicant stated, this project has always been used as a guest ranch, and its continued use as a guest ranch is important to its survival and maintenance as a historic site. So what's being proposed here, I'm definitely in favor of, you know, as with other aspects of this application. How that is accomplished seems like a little bit of an issue. I would be willing to move forward with this, especially if we can incorporate a condition to the effect of requiring the applicant to conduct a thorough review with Historic Preservation of the proposed alterations to the historic site. I know that that's been committed in the background reports to us, saying that all new construction will undergo review by State Historic Preservation Division to ensure consistency with the appropriate Secretary of Interior standards. But that language isn't incorporated into the conditions. So if we could incorporate that into the conditions, that would satisfy my concern. ROY: Would you want to see an archeolo- architectural inventory survey? So you are looking for an inventory. My concern is that SHPD's lack of response, and if you put this burden on the applicant to wait for SHPD, you know, we would be dragging it out. So, is there something the commissioners would be accepting, you know, to show good faith that she tried to work with SHPD, complete with an architectural inventory survey? VITOUSEK: Yes, I mean, to me, that's what I think is necessary in order to take into account the effects of this project on this historic site. I think that an architectural inventory survey of the 14.9-acre site is necessary. But, you know, I would be willing—if SHPD had a different perspective, if they've already done that, and I don't know, you know, the condition that as stated in the background report that prior to any new construction, the project will undergo review by State Historic Preservation Division to ensure consistency with the appropriate Secretary of Interior standards for treatment of historic properties, if that is incorporated into a condition with the recommendation for preparation of an architectural inventory survey for the planning area, if not completed already, then to me, that satisfies my concern. ROY: Those are, I want to address if the applicant will have an issue with that. OHIRA: No, I think—can you guys hear me? VITOUSEK: Yes. OHIRA: Okay. I think that makes sense. I think it definitely makes sense for it to be limited to the project area, the two point some-odd acres that will actually be touched. And, yes, if we can, 23 EXHIBIT D
