Department. DPW and ITE recommendations are so far being ignored by the Planning Commission or by the Planning Department I guess in this case with this, the Planning Department recommendation. If an injury or a fatal accident occurs at that location after the DPWs recommendations have been ignored you know I think well all have blood on our hands and Im really not sure what kind of liability the whole County is accepting by doing that. And as a taxpayer certainly I would rather not see the County accept that liability. So in closing I think we have maybe a request for the Commissioners today to consider 4 options for this application. The first one is to approve it as it is. There are I believe basis for appeal here and if this is the last time you know were going to come before the Commission then its possible that an appeal would be filed if that was the case. The second is to deny the application as it stands. And I think theres 2 options that are compromises and Mr. Haney talked about these in length and probably the best one is to change condition 3 to include the DPW recommendations. We really do think that there is room there to do this. There is already going to be some dismantling of structures in the area. Theres already going to be some vegetation cut down and wed really liketoworkwiththedeveloperandwiththeDPWtoputasafedrivewayin.Thefourth possible option is just to continue the hearing again. Well like Mr. Mooers said weve been here 8 times already. If it could be continued and we could work out those details in the next month with the developer I think everybodys concerns will have been addressed. I just have this last little thing to say and I want to thank the people of Hawai¡i for showing me aloha spirit. I think aloha spirit invites everyone to come here. Ive been told well wheres your aloha spirit why are you being so mean to this guy and that started with Soto and not with Huggett. Well you know the aloha spirit I think it works both ways and it means that people who want to join the community can do so but they need to respect the rights and the safety of the people that are already here. Thank you. GALDONES:Commissioners any questions of Mr. Buscemi? Commissioner Siracusa? SIRACUSA:Several things Im trying to remember all the points you made when I wanted to say something. Yeah, for your information in the new revision of the recommendations on page 6 starting with line 1, 2, 3, 4, 56. Sixth line from the top and this is underscored because its a ramsayered version recommends that an archaeological monitor be present prior to ground disturbing activities in the effected area on the parcel. So it would appear that that concern of yours is already incorporated. BUSCEMI:Could I ask if that would be a Hawai¡i County monitor or would that be? SIRACUSA:It does not specify. Usually I believe that those monitors are from the DLNR Historic Preservation. Would the Director address that please? YUEN:Historic Preservation has standards for who can be an archaeological monitor. We do not have any such persons on staff. So they are people that are retained by private parties however DLNR does specify what qualifications they have. SIRACUSA:Thank you. The second point that I wanted to make had to do with that, what you kept referring to condition number 3 but theres also condition number 12, which says comply with all applicable State, excuse me, County, State and Federal laws, rules, regulations EXHIBIT A 16
