lineof Waikoloa Development. So if youre going to the right-hand side there, or to the south, thats, where Jeff has his arrow, would be the closest non-Waikoloa Development property, thats State property. Then to the north,the colored areas in there, that would be Bridge, right there is Bridge Ainalea, which is not currently developed but is somebody elses property. Thats the closest to the north. And then across the Queen Kaahumanu Highway, thats also Waikoloa Development property. So I dont see the scale on that but approximately -. DARROW:I would say, its approximately 2 inches per mile. YUEN:Pardon me? DARROW:Looks like its approximately 2 inches per mile. YUEN:Okay. So, you know, approximately a mile to non-Waikoloa Developmentproperty,exceptonthemakaisidewheretheresortiscloser,andso,andthereare other owners within the resort. But along the highway and then on either side and mauka of the property is Waikoloa Developments. GALDONES:Thank you, Mr. Yuen. Ms. Bail, a couple of questions. If there is any development in the future that arises, what happens, who determines your flight plans so that its not a nuisance to the surrounding developments? CHEVALIER:Weve traditionally worked with the community. If theres ever a complaint, if theres ever a concern, we adjust our route to alleviate any impacts that we have on on-going development. GALDONES:Okay. And the other question I have is, what would the, what will reducing the extension to 5 years, how would that impact your application? BAIL:It just means youll be seeing me again in 5 years for another extension of time. You know, I was hopeful that we could extend this permit for a period of 10 years, given the landownership situation and the other development priorities that Waikoloa has other than the immediate areas around the heliport. So I think a 10-year period would be appropriate given the history of the facility. Given the current operator at the facility, I think its an appropriate extension of time. But certainly its to the Commission to determine when they feel the issue needs to be revisited. I would hope they would have, the Commission members would have confidence in our representation that development of the areas immediately adjacent to the heliport is not a priority for us within the next 10-year period. GALDONES:Being that you have been there for something like 22 years now and there isnt in the Background Report, nor is it mentioned in the Recommendation regarding your operation being a nuisance, so to speak, to the public and statement made by the gentleman that if there is, that you folks have been working closely with the public in case there are any kind of a development or if theres some noise abatement that has to be taken care of, I personally feel comfortable with the 10 years that youre asking for. Commissioners, are there any -? FUJIKAWA:I have. 9
