M. ROY:Yes. Because I respect you as a resident, longtime, of Kona, and <br />have much aloha for you, I want to ask you what is your heart's <br />area, development or non? <br />MIST:The only reason why I hesitate here is I'm a little embarrassed this <br />morning not to be completely aware. I caught this thing, exactly what this is. I believe <br />it's the area that's across the street from some of those large residences that are there, and <br />I do remember some kind of a complex in there people rented in the summer. I think that <br />they were almost insignificant. If you blew them, they'd probably fall down. I think I'd <br />defer to you and your father on that matter. <br />M. ROY:Just a simple question to clarify is for the future, if t <br />application is about, to develop on that particular Snug Harbor parcel, are you in favor of <br />that or not? <br />MIST:You know, please, I don't know. I'd like to look into it f <br />I, my instincts are, you know, any of these areas, it's a tragedy that, we have to develop <br />somewhere, but it's a tragedy that it has to be developed on -. You know, and when the <br />surf is up, that area is going to be full of people and, you know, there's not enough room <br />to park; and it's, you know, it's just incompatible. We've already seen that on the north <br />shore of O`ahu and other places. So whatever is done needs to be done to preserve what <br />Ku`uipo said, plus the activities that go on in the water there. <br />M. ROY:Mahalo. Thank you. <br />GIFFIN:Thank you very much for coming this morning. Oh, I'm sor <br />Maile. <br />DAVID:I thought of one question. Thank you. Mr. Mist, your feeling is <br />that you'd rather, if you see any development on this particular property, you'd rather see <br />a post and pier as opposed to a slab type project. Are you aware that this, the proposed <br />project, is what would be a three-story condominium project? How does that affect your <br />opinion on what should be appropriate there if something had to be built? What is your <br />opinion on a three-story condominium project? <br />MIST:Pretty tough to put it on post and pier and go up three stories. <br />DAVID:Would you -? <br />MIST:Waiaka Lodge was two stories, so they could do it. <br />DAVID:Okay. What is your opinion as far as impacts that a three-story <br />structure such as that would impose on the historic sites, on the complexes which share <br />common boundaries? <br />15 <br /> <br />
