KERN: Thank you very much. Any questions for the testifier? S much. Elaine Munro, name and address, and you may begin. MUNRO: Elaine Munro, 28433 Overpass Road, PepeÒeke. Commissioners, what I would like to say is on behalf of myself, and I am very much opposed to you reasons are that it seems like it would be an easy decision base intersection in PepeÒeke, but thatÓs not really the perspective that I take. I look at of Hmkua coast highways that these 50,000 trucks a year will be trave only on the beauty of the Hmkua coast but on the tourism. The impact on tourism certainly has to be considered, and it hasnÓt been considered. There are that have not been represented. There are businesses up and dowmkua coast. There are tourist spots, tourist businesses that rely on showing off tmkua coast. Now the traffic is one issue. We're not talking about just norm double axel logging trucks. The other issue is that of the cutting of the logs. WeÓre talki Hmkua coast. Those eucalyptus trees go all the way down to the sh seen logging and the impact of logging in Washington and Oregon, clear-cut trees. WeÓve not heard any kind of a plan as to how t how they will affect the scenic viewplane of the Hmkua Coast. WeÓve not heard about the impact on the rural residents of the Hmkua coast and how it will impact them. Why? Because all of this has really been about one parcel in PepeÒeke and one intersection in PepeÒeke. We really should be looking at the broader scheme, how it's going t the Hmkua coast, the residents , the tourists and the viewplane. We have one letter that was sent to me from someone who I met ju talked about how the pristine beauty of the Hmkua coast would be forever changed. I'm not against jobs, but we really need to look at tourism. We need to impact an area much greater than just PepeÒeke Point. Thank you. KERN: Thank you very much. Any questions for the testifier? S much. George Martin, name and address, and you may begin. MARTIN: George Martin, 28-2819 Kapehu Place in PepeÒeke. Thank you, Chair and ladies and gentlemen of the Commission, for the opportunity. It's not opportunity to come and speak in favor of something like I'm doi that is sometimes it makes you wonder what people are doing. Bu above and beyond whatever was expected of them. They met the re requirements, not only with regards to the law but within the co given our knowledge of fuel oil and the price, seeing what is ha mentioned earlier it's about time we start the fire and let thes be doing, which is producing energy, clean energy, at a cheaper said. I hope you guys can vote in favor of it. Thank you. KERN: Thank you very much. Any questions from the Commissioner 12 EXHIBIT B
