zone management area that are significant in Hawaiian and American history and culture. Well,
<br />if thereÓs any doubt in anyoneÓs mind, and I donÓt know what happened the last few days, that
<br />this isnÓt, if this isnÓt a significant area in the Hawaiian history and culture, then somebody hasnÓt
<br />been doing their homework. Because this, as I understand, it is equivalent of a pyramid.
<br />Although itÓs not, not strictly a burial ground, there are burials.
<br />No. 2 of this section talks about scenic and open resources, and number, IÓm sorry, No. (3)(A
<br />talks about scenic and open resource. And it says, another objective is to ÐProtect, preserve, and,
<br />where desirable, restore or improve the quality of coastal scenic and open space resources.
<br />Again, I call your attention to this picture. I donÓt know if this has been introduced as an exhibit
<br />or not, but -.
<br />M. ROY:We just did this morning.
<br />TYLER:The photo has been introduced, okay. So, I mean, anybody that has at
<br />least one eye, and I have at least one eye, not two, but one, can see this and see that the open
<br />scenic resource, from mauka to makai and from makai to mauka, was rather significant here.
<br />The fact that we got alien species, which have, and other invasives which have invaded this area
<br />doesnÓt mean that it doesnÓt exist. ItÓs there, you know. And so people can say, well, you know,
<br />gee, you drive along here, you canÓt see the shoreline. Well, you have keawe trees, ekoa,
<br />sometime opiuma, but all that is invasive. ItÓs foreign, alien species. So, you gotta go back and
<br />look at whatÓs pono. You gotta go back and look and find out what is true. And this is a true
<br />picture. And, you know, this says in here that these two things were connected before AliÓi
<br />Drive cut through there. And, you know, you can go down there and find the old road. Anyhow,
<br />I digressed.
<br />There other part of the Coastal Zone Management Act talks about the policies. And under No.
<br />(c)(2), titled ÐHistoric resources,Ñ which today weÓd probably more accurately call cultural
<br />resources, it says, Ð(A) Identify and analyze significant archeological resources; (B) Maximize
<br />information retention through preservation of remains and artifacts or salvage operations; and
<br />(C) Support state goals for protection, restoration, interpretation and display of historic
<br />resources.Ñ And we all know what the State has said about this. IÓm sure that has been
<br />introduced as an exhibit as well.
<br />But No. (3) then goes on to talk about, again, under policies, ÐScenic and open space resources;
<br />(A) Identify valued scenic resources in the coastal zone management area;ÈEnsure that new
<br />developments are compatible with their visual environment by designing and locating such
<br />developments to minimize the alteration of natural landforms and existing public views to and
<br />along the shoreline; (C) Preserve, maintain, and, where desirable, improve and restore shoreline
<br />open space and scenic resources.Ñ Certainly, that seems to be important, especially when
<br />viewing this picture.
<br />Also, under No. 7, under Policies, which is titled, ÐManaging development; (A)Ñ says, ÐUse,
<br />implement, and enforce existing law effectively,Ñ thatÓs a wonderful word, effectively in there,
<br />Ðto the maximum extent possible and managing present and future cultural zone development;
