Planning Commission in response to the Applicant’s request to changes to Conditions 24 to 26. Again that was passed out this morning. Lastly, as requested by Chairman Graham, the Planning Director has distributed copies of the first and latest water quality monitoring reports submitted by the Applicant in compliance with Condition 14 of SMA 25. One of these is dated August 6, 1993; the latest one is dated June 15, 2006. And we have also submitted to the Planning Commission a “Review of Coastal Monitoring Data for Developments in West Hawaii”, a study prepared for the County of Hawaii by the Marine Science Department at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Just for refreshing for the Commissioners, the area of this application is within the South Kohala District of Hawaii; more specifically we are looking at the Waikoloa area. This white line moving in a north-south direction is Queen Kaahumanu Highway. This particular area is the Waikoloa Development Company project area. We are looking at Waikoloa Beach Road running in an east-west direction or mauka-makai. And the area of the project site for this particular application is identified in red. This is the northern most portion of the project area. The Applicants, Waikoloa Development Company, are requesting an amendment to Condition 12 of SMA 25: A time extension to complete construction of the requested golf course. Are there any questions? GRAHAM: Commissioners, any questions? Well, I think we should hear from the Applicant at this time. So you folks who are here, could I swear you in today, please? Raise your right hands. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter before the Hawaii County Planning Commission today? APPLICANTS: I do. GRAHAM: Thank you. You could go ahead with your presentation, and begin with your name and address, please. BAIL: Certainly. My name is Lisa Bail. I’m the attorney for Waikoloa Development Company. My address is 1099 Alakea Street, Suite 1800, Honolulu, Hawaii. GRAHAM: Thank you. And you can go right ahead if you would like to address the Commission. BAIL: Okay. Well, I wanted to be clear with the Commission what we’ve submitted, and what you should have before you, and what our position is on various items. I realize you’ve gotten several – some of them quite recently. What the Commission had requested that we do at the last hearing was to take the extended time period and submit more information regarding various water quality issues, and we have done that. I also understand that you have received the same information from Staff. Initially, with the submission we objected to the Planning Department’s proposed Conditions 24 through 26. What our letter yesterday says is that we withdraw our objection to those Conditions, and we are willing to accept those Conditions, if imposed. If imposed, we are also agreeable to the Planning Department’s revise th modifications in their correspondence of February 12. With that, we rest on the written testimony. GRAHAM: Thank you, Ms. Bail. Sir, could you give your name and address first? EXHIBIT C 2
