Commissioner Galdones to approve the amendment request. The motion did not passwith four ayes and two noes. Just to refresh the Commissioners memories and to be able to give a brief background for the new Commissioners, this application is located within the South Kohala District of Hawaii, more specifically we are looking at the Waikoloa area. This is Queen Kaahumanu running in an east- west direction. We are looking specifically at the area identified by a red dot. The applicant in this case, Waikoloa Development Company, is requesting a six-year time extension to Condition 12 of SMA Use Permit 25. Condition 12 is the construction timeline to complete the construction of the third golf course. Again, they are asking for a six-year time extension. The Planning Director did add in several new conditions; this would be Conditions 24, 25 and 26 relating to the applicant to submit an integrated golf course management plan. Additionally, since our last hearing we have received two correspondence: One from attorney William Yuen whorepresentsWaikoloaHomesitesVenture,andwereceivedsomematerialthismorningfrom Charles Flaherty. And Im not sure -. This is identified -. The front page has a copy of the Review of Coastal Monitoring Data for Developments in West Hawaii. The Planning Director is recommending that this amendment request for Condition No. 12 be approved by the Planning Commission. Are there any questions? GRAHAM:Thank you, Jeff. Any questions at this point for Mr. Darrow by any of the Commissioners? Yes, Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Yes. Actually its for Director Yuen. These goals of the integrated golf course management plan are basically implementation of the recommendations by the University group that was charged to do the analysis? GRAHAM:Is that a question for Mr. Yuen? SIRACUSA:Yes. C. YUEN:No. Those were primarily on a monitoring basis, so these are relative to the actual management of the golf course. Theyre similar to conditions that we used for Kohanaiki when we took a good hard look at what kinds of things should be required of golf courses managed in the coastal environment. SIRACUSA:May I? It would seem to me that one has to do the monitoring in order to get the information to do proper management. So is that sort of included? Is it understood that thats included? GRAHAM:Mr. Yuen? C. YUEN:Well, they have quite a bit of monitoring in Waikoloa. I think we talked about this at the last meeting, and we are planning to have a conference to discuss what kinds of further monitoring should be done in the coast generally. But there is an on-going water quality monitoring program in the Waikoloa Resort. 2EXHIBIT B
