property would then have its access through Hualalai Vistas. We did leave open the possibility that the Smith property could be developed off of Church of God Road, but with the condition that Church of God Road be developed to full County dedicable standards. This is probably completely impractical for anybody that has seen Churchof God Road, but its left out there as a possibility; butits extremely impractical and I -. As far as the construction equipment for the Smith property, that would be a good condition to put in, that it come in from the connection with Hualalai Vistas, which would be a much improved road over the present Church of God Road. FUJIKAWA:Any questions, Commissioners, with the staff or the Director? Will the Applicant or his representative, please step forward. Kindly raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii Planning Commission? FUKE:Ido. FUJIKAWA:Stateyournameandyouraddress? FUKE:Goodmorning,Mr.Chairman,membersoftheCommission.My name is Sidney Fuke, Im a Planning Consultant. My address is 100 Pauahi Street, Hilo, Hawaii. FUJIKAWA:Youve received the Background Report and also the Recommendation? FUKE:Yes. Id like to acknowledge, however, initially, that Mr. Tom Smith, the owner-applicant is also present, as well as we have Mr. Bruce Witcher, who is the engineering consultant, you know, in the event that there are questions relating to their components. Mr. Smith has had a chance to review the staffs Background Report and the Proposed Recommendations and found them to be acceptable. Id like to just, I think the staffs report is fairly comprehensive. And Id like to just, however, just touch upon, you know, several items which were either not mentioned, and expand on some other items which I know that have been like a concern to many of the existing neighbors in that area. First of all, I think that, as the staff indicated, the request is essentially for the creation of six additional lots for a total of seven lots, seven -acre lots. There would be a no ohana restriction, if approved, you know, for this project, as stipulated in the staffs proposed condition; but this would also be something that the Applicant already had in mind. In addition to that, there was an archaeological inventory survey performed, and that was approved by the State. And the survey identified one feature with two burials in that area; and those burials will be preserved, subject to the preparation and acceptance of the Burial Treatment Plan. That burial feature kind of lies on the mauka portion of the property. 4
