approved by the special use permit that’s for two transient guest rooms, and also a faculty or guest room, and a staff room. And we need that kind of like support to be there. I think that’s all it’s about. We don’t want to create a community with permanent, it’s not about that. We really realize that our mission is to provide nature, culture and wellness programs to the community at large. People from all over the state come to Kalani. People from all over the world come to Kalani. And it’s really what we want it to be. We’re not trying to create a permanent subdivision. GRAHAM: Good. Thank you for your words. Anybody else here? Commissioner Rho? RHO: This is my last question. I guess I’m trying to get my head around this concept. But on the agreement to purchase membership interest, on the third page, its terms and disclosure, No. 1, and then it talks about in exchange for members payment of a purchase price of $200,000-$900,000 [depending on retreat size and location] member receives, etc. I guess when I read this initially what I did was I marked it up and I circled $900,000. And I said what does this look like? Because it’s, the way I understand it it’s a retreat, to construct the retreat home arranged by Kalani Honua. So if I’m the member, and I don’t have $900,000 to give you, but if I did have $900,000 and I was a qualified member, could my hale that I would build with your assistance or whoever be twice the size than what’s proposed whenever this thing was submitted? SQUASSONI: This is Paul. Absolutely not. RHO: Absolutely not. So can you describe to me what $200,000 would look like, what a hale looks like at $200,000 and what one looks at $900,000. GRAHAM: Mr. Squassoni, you’re going to respond to this then? SQUASSONI: Yes, I am. GRAHAM: Okay. Thank you. SQUASSONI: If $200,000 you would build two cottages. And $900,000 you would build an entire cluster. There is obviously a difference in construction costs between building, between putting in a membership that would provide for the building of two cottages and putting in a membership that would provide for the building of an entire cluster. That’s where the difference in cost is. You don’t get to build a mansion. This is an investment in the community and an investment in Kalani. It’s not, there’s no -. RHO: Therefore, one unit consists of G, G, F and S, and the hale, right? SQUASSONI: Yes. RHO: And that costs $900,000 if I wanted to build one unit? EXHIBIT C 24
