SKOMP:Good morning. My name is Dan Skomp, my physical address is 16-336 th Laniuma Street, which is actually at the intersection of 38 and Laniuma; and I thank the Commission for being allowed to speak, and I will be very, very brief. ALAMEDA:Thank you. SKOMP:Ive lived in that property for 25 years, little more than 25 years. My children were raised there, my grandchildren are there now. I, too, am concerned about the flow of traffic; and thats, I think, my main first concern. My second concern was brought up by Commissioner Siracusa herself; and that is I think you folks would have to see that property to see the extent of the foliage and the animals that live on it. There are beautiful huge trees that are there now, quite unusual, actually, in that area; and its another reason I purchased there as well. Theother,myconcernistheroads.Wehaveonlyveryrecentlygotourroadpaved;and,again, Ive lived there for 25 years and sometimes its almost inaccessible. Thirty-eighth street from Laniuma is quite a roller coaster little thing; and when it rains it washes out completely. There have been times, quite frequent times, when it is completely impassable. I think those are my concerns. And Im not sure that I could come back to the other meetings, and thats why I thank the Commission for my speech today. Thank you. ALAMEDA:Thats good; and thats why were allowing for testimony today, for some of you who took off from work. Any questions for our testifiers? And you can backtrack. Im sorry, I forgot to ask, with Mr. Heller. SIRACUSA:Yeah, well, I just wanted to mention that if any of you, you know, are unable to come back again when you would have, say, to the contested hearing when you had more time to expand on what you have to say or maybe bring some, you know, evidence in, that you could always submit it in writing. Is that correct, Mr. Torigoe? TORIGOE:Yes. ALAMEDA:Thats correct. SIRACUSA:So that it would be part of the record. SKOMP:Thank you, Commissioner. SIRACUSA:And, for example, any pictures you have, for example, of native vegetation or native birds, that sort of thing, could be submitted as part of the record. SKOMP:Thank you. ALAMEDA:Thank you, Commissioner Siracusa. Any questions for Mr. Skomp? Seeing none, please state your name and address for the record, and you may proceed. FULKS:Very well. My name is Ole Fulks; and Im an Orchidland resident. I live approximately two miles from the proposed project. As Chairman of the Hawaii Speleogical 20EXHIBIT B
