be doing trail rides, or hikes, or what have you. So at this point, you know, we intend to take people up that way. There may need to be some site improve improvements for that kind of roadway. There isn't anything at this point that's being proposed where we'll be taking people up through other means. I should also add, though, that up Konawaena School Road there's another access to the mauka part of the ranch, and so there's more than one way to get up to the upper areas. Since I have the floor, now may I also make a couple of other co SPRINGER:Yes, Mr. Tsukazaki. TSUKAZAKI:Well, you know, I wanted to also acknowledge that I think one of the reasons why the Staff has sent you the Background Report, etcetera, so late is because I think they were waiting for us to resolve a couple of issues with other County agencies. We have been in communication with Water Supply over the last we regarding their initial concerns. We've met with Public Works, etcetera. And, unfortunately, a lot of our correspondence, which reflected that issues had been resolved with those agencies, they were not provided to the Planning Department until earlier this week; and so we are partly the reason for those documents getting to you late. We've had a couple of comments from, I've received a couple comments from one neighboring property owner, Bryson Greenwell; and he had some questions and concerns about whether this proposed visitor center would increase the risk of damages from flooding or drainage problems. And he seemed to have a good understanding of historically how those drainage patterns ran even prior to the school building built, actually, you know. So we have made contact with him, Ms. Harlow did. We reached an agreement with him where we -, he was happy to know that we woul concerns on the record. We've sent him a letter. I believe we' the record just to indicate that his concerns are on the record at this point. I also received a call from Bill Paris. And in my notice to the property owners regarding the property, we made a mistake in describing the project site to be within the ahupua`a of Hkkano, and Bill called and gave me an earful about how that was w told him that I would state for the record today that, yeah, in fact, this site is in a land strd division called Kalukalu 1 through 3; and we looked at that last night. The Planning Department's Background Report, other portions of our application, the draft bill that is submitted and has been submitted to you, all contain the right description. It's just my notice to property owners was in error. So that's another correction we wanted to make for the record. There are conditions that have been proposed to you. We have some revisions that we'd like to recommend there. Should we hold off on that until there has been an opportunity for public testimony and further discussion, or would you like me to circulate that to you at this point? SPRINGER:If we could receive those now, Mr. Tsukazaki, please. 10
