DEFRANCO: Yes, I'm just wondering, the existing parking that is closed off, are you going to be able to use that space for your trucks so they're not going to be on Alii Drive as this project is going on? KOMATA: The means and methods for construction is, would be up to the contractor, but what we would make available to the contractor is the area of site that, the area of the site that they're impacting for construction itself, we, we're looking into the possibility of using a portion of the existing parking lot on the adjoining property as a staging area, but that hasn't been decided yet. As far as affecting Alii Drive, the contractor would not be allowed to park or stage along Alii Drive except for directly relating to the work that's being done on Alii Drive. DEFRANCO: Thank you. VITOUSEK: Commissioners, any other questions? [None.] Okay, I'll take my questions, and I'll do my best to keep within my ten minutes. The first, first question is for commissioners. Were the commissioners able to find and review the Environmental Assessment in our packet? There was a link to a website, but it wasn't clear, we weren't provided with the Environmental, a copy of the Environmental Assessment in our packet. So, I just wondered if the Commissioners had the opportunity to review the EA for this proj ect. Commissioner Van Pernis? [Nods.] You did. Commissioner Yates? [Shakes head.] No. Commissioner Kanuha? [Shakes head.] No. Commissioner DeFranco? [Shakes head.] No. To me, that's a concern in that it wasn't readily available, and the commissioners didn't, didn't necessarily have the opportunity to review that. And the second question is, I'm just wondering why the preservation plan that affects these sites wasn't included in our packet? Anybody? ROY: Are you talking, I'm sorry, Chair. Are you asking about the burial treatment plan? VITOUSEK: Well, that also would be helpful to include in the packet, but there is a second preservation plan that deals with site 21220 and 21219, which are both referenced in the conditions of this project, but there's no reference, there's limited reference in the EA but no reference in the background and recommendation about an existing preservation plan that exists on those sites, and whether or not this project is in compliance with the conditions that are already established in the preservation plan. ROY: Yeah, I, I am not sure how to answer that as it was outside of the project area. Maybe the applicant can attest to that. But the conditions, I just want to note, that the conditions that relate to those sites were put forth by the applicant as a good faith measure to ensure access to the shrine and other areas. VITOUSEK: So, I mean, you know, when we're dealing with the area of potential effect, you can, you can draw your project area however you want, right, and say this is our project area and this is the area of potential effect. It looks like you're taking into account the area of direct effect, 11 EXHIBIT C
