decision made. The Commissioners have heard Commissioner Smith€s comments, and <br />nd <br />that€s consistent with a vote that was made at the December 2 meeting. Mr. Torigoe, do <br />you have any comment? <br />TORIGOE:I just want to clarify one more thing, that is that if you are unable <br />to take any of those three actions an approval, a denial, or a deferral then under the rule <br />the application is considered denied at this point. <br />SPRINGER:Commissioner Smith, would you, you have the three options <br />before us. You will not vote in the affirmative for this application if there is not a site <br />visit, is that correct? <br />SMITH:That€s correct. <br />SPRINGER:Mr.Mooers,doyouhaveanycommentsatthistime? <br />MOOERS:IthinkifMr.Smithwouldlikeasitevisitwehavenoproblem <br />with that. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioners, then we may defer this matter until <br />there is a site visit. Mr. Torigoe, we- it€s clear we don€t have the unanimity required <br />either to approve or deny this application.

Could I take that opportunity for just a minute? <br />SPRINGER:Please do so. <br />GRAHAM:Since I€ve been on the Commission I have tried to do a good bit of <br />research and exploring myself into sewage kind issues. And my, you know, my concern <br />here as far as the SMA permit which I expressed at the first hearing we had was any kind <br />of nutrient flow into the ocean causing algae problems, deterioration of the ocean, this <br />being in especially sensitive area next to Kahaluu Beach Park. There is a stretch about <br />3/4 mile between the end of the Keauhou sewer system and the ending pick-up of the <br />County sewer system. So, to me, what we do here also has a real precedent issue to it, <br />like how do we want to deal with applications in that area where people cannot connect to <br />the sewer system. If one connects to the sewer system, essentially, as far as I understand, <br /> <br />
