KAY: Okay, so the question here is that if there are many more people to testify via Zoom can <br /> you have them all turn their microphones on so we can swear all of them in at one time,please. <br /> HATA: Okay. — <br /> KAY: Thank you. And the video if possible and cameras, if possible,please. <br /> HATA: So that would be Paula McMichael, Lokelani McMichael, Ron Johnson, and Kyle <br /> Kettle if you could unmute and turn off your camera or turn on your camera sorry, so that the <br /> Chair can swear you. Thank you. <br /> VITOUSEK: Is that everybody? I only see one person. <br /> HATA: They should be loading shortly. <br /> VITOUSEK: Okay. They've got their hands raised. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on <br /> the matter before the Planning Commission? <br /> KETTLE: I do. <br /> JOHNSON: I do. <br /> VITOUSEK: Simmy and Loke? <br /> HATA: Paula McMichael are you able to unmute and turn on your camera? <br /> VITOUSEK: Loke, are you, you guys can you hear us? The McMichael's? Okay. Well let's <br /> just keep it rolling. <br /> HATA: Kyle Kettle, I see his camera on. Would you like to go first? <br /> KETTLE: Yeah. My name is Kyle Kettle I currently live in Aiea, although I did do a lot of <br /> work in Hilo back in 2010 for a local bank there. And so, the Big Island of Hawaii does have a <br /> special place in my heart which made me want to come speak on this matter. What I've looked <br /> into in this site, I really echo a lot of what has been said by the other previous people who have <br /> testified about this. When I just look at the things that are going on it's kind of concerning when <br /> I see the developers requested an amendment to one of the conditions of their permit. Which <br /> would require them to complete drainage improvements to the area prior to doing any work in <br /> the area and they're seeking to have a bond or a surety in place of this. Well, what happens if <br /> this project is halted or delayed, and they've started work and those drainage improvements <br /> aren't in place, and it causes some sort of environmental problem with the area or the historical <br /> sites there. The money can't replace those historical sites and those places are special and they <br /> need to be protected. <br /> 9 <br /> EXHIBIT A <br />
