lineal descendants and others to weigh in on the project during the planning and implementation phases of the project. Nonetheless, you know, if the Commission so desires like an updated CIA to be able to make a reasonable decision, you know, relative to that aspect, then that's your prerogative. So, but just, we have already reached out, you know, regardless of this, we have already reached out to the former, to the person who did the initial CIA, you know, we've already reached out to that person to see whether she would be in a position to do an updated CIA. You know, relative to you know, that's on the cultural portion—and I realized that, you know, just hearing all these conversations about the importance of whether it's this parcel or the parcel immediately on the makai side of the Kuakini Wall, the historical signi-potential historical cultural significance, if, you know, if the community sincerely believes that this is a very, very important parcel—like I think Ms. Roy referred to like Ahu`ena Heiau, at one point in time it was private, the County, you know, eventually bought it—now you have PONC's funds, so it's an opportunity for the County Council, you know, if, with the community's blessing, to say that this is a very important parcel and, you know, and you think it should be number one or number two on a priority list, set aside the funds. I mean that's what the Charter created, this whole PONC concept. But, so that's an alternative. I kind of want to respond very briefly to, you know, the question about the evacuation. I think that if you just sit back and really think about it, oh yes, okay, it is a concern on the evacuation along Alii Drive. I think that whenever you have a need for evacuation, you are always going to have a traffic issue, you know, whether it's a fire or whether it's like a tsunami, you know, even earthquake, you know, you are going to have it. The question is like whether, what is the, I think the level of threat, the level of threat. So if you have like on the tsunami portion, for exampleI was just kind of thinking about it, you know, driving over this morning with Darynso, you know, if you have, what is the level of threat of a tsunami? If this property were within a tsunami zone, you know, like just, you know, makai of the Alii Drive or just immediately mauka, then you are going to have to worry about getting out there, especially, if you have a locally generated tsunami. If you have a tsunami that's generated in the Aleutians or Chile, you have, with this early warning system, you have the opportunity to get out of there reasonably, it might take time, but you have the opportunity to get out of there. So I think that, you know, like when you look at the project—and I appreciate that you are asking that question, Commissioner DeFranco, because you mentioned about the Alii Parkway—and I think this is where, you remember, we were talking about the last time extension in Kaloko Mauka, the County has like about 750 or 800,000 dollars, and it belongs to this, you know, it's a State highway and nobody wants to make any kind of improvements; well, this project, if it realizes, will contribute like about a million dollars in-65 times 15,000—roughly about a million dollars, about a million dollars in fair share impact fee. What's to stop then for the Council or whoever to, you know, for the Commission, ultimately, the decision being that your fair share shall be used to design and implement in even an interim evacuation system from this property going? If you look at the map, in this property using the Alii Parkway to get to La`aloa is a short leg. Nobody says you need to have like a full-lane highway evacuation route; same thing like what we have down in Hilo in the Keaukaha area, all you need is evacuation route. Now why can't those funds be used to kind of help implement that? You don't have to have the deluxe version, not for evacuation. And those are my comments then so. 20 EXHIBIT G
