ROY:Thank you. One more question. In cultural protocol and tradition <br />there are existing parameters for sacredness. For example, are you aware that there are <br />site, site, height prohibitions and encroachment, physical prohi <br />sacred sites? Are you aware of those? <br />BLECK:IÓve never read anything, no. <br />ROY:Have you ever been informed by any Hawaiian experts? <br />BLECK:IÓve watched television programs that talk about setbacks to sacred <br />sites and IÓve run across it in other Planning Commission hearings where other <br />condominium projects have been approved surrounding sacred sites and minimum <br />setback distances to those sites from the building structure. <br />ROY:And height restrictions, did you say? Did you acquire any of that <br />knowledge here? <br />BLECK:Well, we were -. What I had seen to date didnÓt seem to a <br />this project because we were so far away from the historic site. <br />ROY:And, again, your cultural training, spiritual training for Hawaiian <br />culture and spirit, could you please tell us what that training has been? <br />BLECK:IÓve had no formal training in that. <br />ROY:Thank you. Thank you, no further questions. <br />GIFFIN:Lester? <br />ISHADO:At this time, Madam Chair, IÓd like to make a request of the Chair. <br />For Mr. Bleck and I believe for the landscape artist, weÓd like to ask the Chair to allow <br />Mr. Yuen to ask questions. I wonÓt be asking anything. I believe he has certain technical <br />points which he needs to clarify. <br />GIFFIN:Mr. Yuen. <br />YUEN:Thank you. Let me start with this question of the proximity of <br />some of the archeological sites. <br />GIFFIN:You know, Mr. Bleck, before you answer that, excuse me, <br />Mr. Yuen and Mr. Bleck, I was just cautioned by Mr. Torigoe that I should have asked <br />the other parties if there was any objection to Mr. Yuen questioning the testifier. <br />ROY:No. <br />DAVID:None. <br />21 <br /> <br />
