Planning Director or any other party. These are other tools that are more properly -, the way that you should proceed. We feel that the method in which the County has been proceeding in this proceeding is in individualized attack on one property owner. With all due respect to Ms. Byrne and Mr. Gomes (sic) – and they’ve come out numerous times to testify – as Ms. Byrne admits, the real reason why she is here – and I’m going to paraphrase – the real reason why she is here is that the County of Hawaii and the State of Hawaii have not listened to what the community wants for this area. Now what that says to me is an admission that the legal requirements for development of this property are as they sit today with the RS-15 zoning and the SMA Permit No. 379. Effectively, that’s the basis of our objection in this case, is that the legal procedures have not been followed, and that the rights of the applicant have been infringed upon. We ask for your support of our time extensions to further pursue the project. We’ve tried to suggest for your consideration some proposed conditions of approval that would be attached to any time extension given. We basically ask for 5 years from the time of the time extension approval, and that any further time extensions would have to be brought back before the Planning Commission for appropriate action. We’ve included all of the protective conditions that have already been placed on the property, and have added new ones based upon some of the things we’ve been hearing from the Commission during these proceedings. I stand ready to answer any questions. Thank you. RHO: Commissioners, any questions? Mr. Watanabe. WATANABE: Mr. Lim, so I think that you are comfortable with this further reduction, actually it’s a 50 percent reduction, to 25 units. LIM: That is correct. WATANABE: Okay. Okay, that’s it. Thank you. LIM: What we’ve also added is -, if you go to the redline of the Change of Zone, that’s probably the best one to look at because that one also includes the channelization at Akoni Pule Highway, which is not a proper subject for the SMA permit; so the Change of Zone is probably the one that includes all of the conditions. WATANABE: Yeah, thank you, I noted those. I also noted the proposal to stub out to the south-east side of the subdivision. LIM: That’s correct. And we’ve added in the SMA conditions the applicant’s proposal to set back the structures minimum of 100 feet from the shoreline; and with exception of the project entry features, all structures will be set back at minimum of 150 feet from the Akoni Pule Highway right-of-way. WATANABE: Okay. Thank you. EXHIBIT A 15
