that, you know, it was like, I was just sitting here in total shock because the story had
<br />changed from my living room the day before till the next morning.
<br />DOMINGO: Well, I’m sure there is an explanation for that, for one reason
<br />or another, and I’m sure they will come up before you and explain what had happened.
<br />FISH-GUSMAN: And if you can go down Alii Drive and look at the property on
<br />Metzler right next to Queen Kalama, I mean, you might get a little bit better picture of it, too,
<br />because it’s just -, I mean, there’s orange all over the place, you know, of places that are all
<br />blocked off. I don’t even know how they’re going to make a road through there, but I’m sure
<br />they’re not going to sell that property. I mean, it’s prime property. It’s got a view of the
<br />ocean; because the house is on the makai side set down, so you can see the ocean. And what
<br />I’ve heard is he has no intentions of selling that property at all. And you can tell, actually,
<br />there’s a -, the menehune wall; it boarders to my property, which is one of the houses that’s
<br />right on the corner of Queen Kalama and Naniloa. And on the city plans that’s the menehune
<br />wall. So, I mean, and it runs all the way through that property of Metzler, which is right next
<br />to where they’re going to build. So, I mean, I wish I had pictures of it. There was somebody
<br />that was going to be here and something happened; so they couldn’t show up that had
<br />pictures that -, anyway, thank you.
<br />RHO: Thank you. Virginia?
<br />ISBELL: Thank you very much. Virginia Isbell from Kealakekua, and
<br />I’m testifying -, first of all, I’d like to mention that -.
<br />RHO: Virginia, can we have your mailing address?
<br />ISBELL: Oh, yeah, P.O. Box 9 – I don’t live in the box – but 926,
<br />Kealakekua, 96750. And I’ll read out of a piece of paper here. I would like to say that we all
<br />have the same concerns. And I think that’s the Kuakini Wall that, if I’m not mistaken, that
<br />goes down that far; but there are lots of very important archeological sites. But I also have
<br />reviewed their Environmental Impact Statement. Their big book here took me a while to get
<br />through it. But they can’t just change willy-nilly. If it says it’s in here, and that’s what
<br />they’re asking for, they cannot just go and change it overnight. So, my feeling is that having
<br />looked at this and studied it, if they follow exactly what it says here and you approve that,
<br />then they have to do what it says, which includes this – and I’d like to just read my testimony
<br />if I can, because it kind of gives you a better idea than just my blowing it off, right? Okay,
<br />it’s just not that long.
<br />RHO: Go ahead.
<br />ISBELL: I have reviewed the environmental report that provides support
<br />for the State Land Use boundary amendment from Ag to Urban District plus the SMA, A5a
<br />to RM, RS plus CV and/or CN. Those are all abbreviations that Mr. Yuen and I know of and
<br />are really familiar with, and I know all of you are too.
