ROY: As is typical for all projects review of 6E submittal to SHPD for review, and also during EA process they are asked to review the environmental assessment and comment on, and we did not receive any review, or any comments from SHPD, basically because I had figured that they had reviewed the site during the register process, so they felt that their review was—so we didn't hear back from them during this process. We keep actively trying to reach out to them for an archeological inventory survey, and as I said, as the staff to the CRC, that's another possibility to get the review that Commissioner Vitousek is looking to get. So, but, yeah, we were kind of left to the winds of SHPD, but we did, like I said, during the EA and during the application process we do ask them for their comment. CARR SMITH: So, Mike, will this, will the timing on this, based on your experience, affect her ability to move forward with her other, other work she wants to get started on right away? VITOUSEK: It seems as though she has a lot of stuff to get started on right away, and these conditions can be done over time. No matter what happens, you know, because this has already been submitted to SHPD for review, and in the event that they review it, they can come back with a set of conditions and requests that are different than what I might have requested, maybe more restrictive, maybe less. But if the county, as Alex is proposing, reviews this themselves through the Cultural Resources Commission, then we can move forward in good faith knowing that we have considered the effects of the special use permit on this Hawaii register of historic site and issued our approval in good faith that this will be reviewed and considered. CARR SMITH: Thank you for that. Mr. Winnie, go ahead. WINNIE: It's my understanding on how this process works; once you apply to impact the site, you have to have it reviewed anyway by Historic people. And it's my understanding also that this has been reviewed by them, and so I think it's not an unreasonable request, but I think it's also a duplicate request. So, I'm pretty sure that you have to go through the historic review process once you apply to change the site or the buildings, so you are not allowed to basically change - - - CARR - -CARR SMITH: Thank you. Christie. CASH: That's correct. Like I said, anything that we do going forward, the Planning Department won't even accept it; we have to go through SHPD. We have no choice. That's just, they won't, they won't even look at our plans without first SHPD approving them. CARR SMITH: Okay, thank you. Mr. Van Pernis. VAN PERNIS: The environmental review that Mr. Winnie is referring to and the archaeological inventory survey Mr. Vitousek is referring to are two different things. So the lack of response on the environmental review submittal is not lack of response on an archaeological survey that was never delivered. CARR SMITH: Thank you. Mr. Kealoha or Mr. Newberg, any comments, questions? 25 EXHIBIT D
