GIFFIN: Okay. Then, may I ask the three of you to please step back? There are three people – and <br />if there are more who have not signed up, please take this opportunity to do so. Richard Stewart, <br />Gerry Bockus and Bob Ward, please come forward. Thank you. Will you please raise your right <br />hands? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai‘i County <br />Leeward Planning Commission? <br />TESTIFIERS: I do. <br />GIFFIN: Thank you. Starting with you, sir, your name and your resident address? <br />STEWART: Good morning. I’m Richard Stewart, and my address is 78-7178A Pu‘uloa Road in <br />Kailua-Kona, 96740. And I represent the Hui o Pu‘uloa, and I’m the current acting president of our <br />little hui. And I’m here to reaffirm our acceptance of KIC’s plans to go ahead with this project <br />under the same terms and conditions that were originally set forth in their original hearing process <br />and the application process, which was I think granted by the County in 2000, right around <br />December of 2000. So there were some conditions that were placed upon them including a 200-foot <br />buffer zone for the adjoining property owners in Pu‘uloa, and we agreed to support their project and <br />we continue to do so under the same terms and conditions set forth in their original application and <br />permit process. Thank you. <br />GIFFIN: You’re welcome. Sir, your name and your resident address? <br />BOCKUS: Name is Gerry Bockus. I live in 78-7170 Ha‘awina Street, Kailua-Kona, 96740. And <br />I’m here representing myself as a property owner that would be almost completely surrounded by <br />this project. And I just wanted to reconfirm that some of the original conditions regarding the <br />buffer zone around my property would still be in effect. And I’ve received nothing in writing to <br />that, and so I did want to put on the record that I’m still under the impression that I would be <br />afforded a buffer zone around my property. <br />GIFFIN: Mr. Bockus, I do believe, if you ask staff this morning for a copy of the conditions, that <br />they can give you that. And so I appreciate your coming this morning and putting that on the <br />record. But if you would like to right now go ahead and ask them and review it, I’m sure they <br />would be happy to provide that information for you. <br />BOCKUS: Thank you. <br />GIFFIN: You’re welcome. Is that right, Mr. Darrow? Oh, good, thank you, Maija. And while he <br />is reviewing the condition, I presume you are Mr. Ward. <br />WARD: Yes, thank you. <br />GIFFIN: Will you please state your name and your resident address? <br />WARD: My name is Bob Ward. Address: 77-6526 Ho‘olaupa‘i Street, Kailua-Kona. <br />GIFFIN: Okay. <br />WARD: I’m basically here to offer my comments. First, I would like to show my appreciation for <br />inclusion in the requirements tied directly to the Kona Community Development Plan, and <br />5 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
