LIM: Right. You are looking at the State Historic Preservation approval letters. The actual surveys themselves were done much earlier, I believe, in conjunction with the applicant’s proposed development of a retreat resort on that property. That was when Ms. Bowman was involved. They had done what they call a draft environmental assessment to -, because they were going to go for a General Plan amendment at that time. And it kind of points up our position which is that if you are going to change the zoning, you should go do the General Plan amendment for this specific property. RHO: Maybe I can ask the Director when the Director testifies. But I have another question on page 11 of the site preservation plan that’s dated or submitted -, dated August 2000, page 11. Should I just read you the sentence? It’s actually Long-term Protection Measures, and the last sentence of that very short paragraph says, “The owner will be responsible for having a qualified archaeologist, on a biennial basis, verify that the sites are being preserved.” So if in fact this was done in 2000, and it’s 2007, there should have been two reports filed, if my definition of biennial is correct, which is every two years. So I wondered whether or not that was done. LIM: To best of my knowledge, no, because no development was being done. RHO: Well, the way I read this thing, that whole section based on this plan was not going to be developed; he was just going to put in a road to a single-family dwelling on the part of the parcel on – when I looked at the map – on the left side. On the right side was the burials and archaeological whatever they call those things; and then they have this long-term protection measure. LIM: I think what was anticipated was that the development would be proceeding and they would be making reports while they were developing. But since they didn’t do anything, there were no reports filed. RHO: Okay, thank you. If there are no other questions from the Commissioners, I wanted to ask the Director if he had any questions. YUEN: I have some comments that I’d like to make, similar to Mr. Lim -. RHO: Right. But I was -. YUEN: Just some time to address this -. RHO: Yeah, but I was going to give you time to ask -. YUEN: I’m sorry, the questions on Mr. Lim. Yes, actually I do. And it’s a procedural issue and I just wanted to make sure that we were all on the same page here on what we are doing today. We have the SMA permit for which the Planning Commission has a final say. However, the zoning of the property still is pending at the County Council. Mr. Lim has kept the time extension on the zoning here, and that has not gone up to the County Council; so the only thing actually before the County Council now is the rezoning that I proposed to residential 5-acre minimum lot size. So on the question of the SMA permit, the SMA permit EXHIBIT A 19
