Hank? <br />CORREIA:Hank Correia, 215 Hualalai, Hilo. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. You may proceed, gentlemen. <br />ANDRADE:Okay, just to give a little bit of background, I guess, and maybe we can <br />help answer Ms. Siracusa€s question. As Norman had mentioned, this property was owned by a, <br />or is currently owned by a corporation by the name of Kawailani Estates; and they went through <br />the rezoning process back in €92 and got approval from the County Council, Planning <br />Commission and County Council back then. Right after they got the zoning changed, as most of <br />us know, the real estate market on the Big Island kind of went into the tank; and since then they <br />haven€t had the funds to develop the property. Hank and I, along with another partner, another <br />local boy by the name if Brian Anderson, we€ve put in an offer to purchase the property and then <br />do the project, do the subdivision. One of the conditions of us purchasing the property is to get <br />these time extensions, because the prior owner had not complied with all of the time extensions <br />of the original zoning. So with those time extensions, then we can go on and start doing the <br />things that are necessary that the ordinance calls for to develop the property into residential lots. <br />SPRINGER:Commissioner Siracusa? <br />3 <br /> <br />
