DARROW: To my knowledge, there is nothing within our rules that prevents the applicant from coming in for amendment requests. The approval is depending on the Planning Commission for the extension of the request but, to my knowledge, there is nothing that prevents them from coming in. GIFFIN: Thank you very much. Any other questions? Okay, hearing none, I thought it would be a good time to acknowledge that we have received correspondence from Arthur and Kathleen Misaki, ththth dated February 15; Greg Ogin, dated February 15; Clifford Dias, dated February 17; and Bruce th Cook, dated February 17. Jeff, were there any other correspondences that we should acknowledge? DARROW: To my knowledge, there’s only four letters that have come in after the Planning Commission received the background and recommendation. GIFFIN: Okay, great. Will the applicant and the applicant’s representative please come forward? Will you please raise your right hands? Thank you. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai‘i County Leeward Planning Commission? APPLICANTS: I do. GIFFIN: Great. Starting with you, Steve, will you please state your name and your resident address? LIM: Thank you, Madam Chair and Members of the Commission. I’m Steven Lim, attorney for the applicant. With me today, to my right is the new president of Kamehameha Investment Corporation, Mr. Kyle Chock, and to his right is our longtime project consultant, Joe Spencer, whom you may know. We are happy to be here today. We’ve received the Planning Director’s background and recommendations, and we concur with the recommendations. And I think, in regard to one of the questions as to the location of the trail within the property – I’m having a hard timeseeing all of this – but I think this right here is the Bayview Estates Subdivision. Joe? Yeah. Right on the south side of the Bayveiw Estates Subdivision in this mauka-makai direction is the Keauhou Trail, and we’ve obtained Land Board approval to place the trail on the extreme southern side of the subdivision and – okay, Kaluna Street is right there, excuse me, got it, now I’m in the right place –right around there, approximately here. The other archaeological site that’s mentioned is the Holua Slide, which is in this general mauka-makai direction, and this is the one that has the 200-foot buffer around it. We have received a State Historic Preservation Division approval of the archaeological inventory survey for the entire area. And we’ve submitted our mitigation plan and burial treatment plan for approval, and we have comments and are finalizing them. GIFFIN: Any other questions? HOUSEL: The condition mentioned a public access plan. Has that been prepared? LIM: Not yet. What we are going to do is, I’ll give a little more, my standard, my full presentation, but public access plan for both mauka-makai travel and lower south travel along the West Hawai‘i Railroad right-of-way will be incorporated into the Keauhou Trail’s plan for the whole resort; they’re going to be identifying where the bikeways are, where the pathways are, parking areas, those types of things. HOUSEL: Thank you. 3 EXHIBIT A
