SPRINGER:Would you try to influence those who do have control over the <br />land use to rehabilitate the quarry site, to re-naturalize it, or -? <br />L. YUEN:I believe, I can’t say for sure but I believe that the quarry site, in <br />fact, has been. There were certain conditions for renaturalizing it when it was closed, <br />which was, I think, in the year 2000. I believe that those have been completed. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. <br />FUJIKAWA:Graham, go ahead. <br />GRAHAM:First off is I’m flushing through my memory. I know that I have <br />done computer work both for Trans-Continental Development and for Waikoloa Village <br />Association, neither of which were within the last 10 years or so.So I don’t feel like I <br />have any interest in this matter, but I want to disclose that. <br />I’m wondering from the, again, Mr. Yuen, looking from the way we work, the Zoning <br />Code is intended to carry out the General Plan; and the General Plan, at this point, does <br />have industrial area for that particular region. So even though the Zoning Code says <br />Open, it would seem that a commercial-industrial use would be justified. And I was also <br />wondering to ask our current Planning Director, since he has been going through a <br />General Plan revision lately, if anybody asked that this area be removed from Industrial <br />outside Waikoloa so they could go back to open space as envisioned originally by <br />Waikoloa Land? <br />FUJIKAWA:Chris, go ahead. <br />C. YUEN:No, we don’t have any changes for this area, no, not proposed. <br />There is a change that, there’s a change at the other end of Waikoloa Village, on the end <br />of Paniolo. I think that’s the only amendment that I can remember that would add a <br />Medium Density; but that’s a couple of miles from where this is. <br />GRAHAM:And you didn’t have any requests to take that out of it? <br />C. YUEN:No, no, no. <br />GRAHAM:Thank you. And then, finally, I was wondering because Waikoloa <br />Village Association mentioned the need for commercial/industrial property, if this area <br />was what you felt should remain open, do you have an alternative for what you think <br />would be the proper siting of such, or do you think it should all be well away from the <br />Village? <br />L. YUEN:I don’t know that I can answer whether there’s a specific site that <br />could be used. I can say that Waikoloa Development Co. owns those 4,500 acres kind of <br />in that mauka bubble, as well as some additional areas within the Waikoloa Village area <br />13 <br /> <br />
