desecrate and carve up, as if they would a commodity they own. Let me remind you we do not own land – God does, especially true in Hawaii. At this point, this is what I have to say. RHO: Thank you. Questions? If none, if I can ask both of you to step back, and ask the audience whether or not there are others who wish to testify that didn’t sign up. At this point, we have exhausted our list. And if I can ask the applicant’s representative and the applicant to step forward. And at this point, maybe if you could address some of the points that the testimony brought forward; and then the Commissioners may have questions for you. ATTA: Okay. I guess I can start with the comment about the meeting the night before the last hearing. We did meet with Ms. Fish, and I think it’s more a questions of miscommunication. The park – the comment about the park that was – yeah, at the time the park issue was something that just came at the hearing, basically. So, it is a last minute addition to change in the plan. We did not have that top lot park the night before. And so, during the course of the meeting, some of the people who were here at the public hearing had recommended to us that it would be a good idea to add a top lot. So, yes, and we made the decision during the hearing process to add that top lot. The other things about the Metzler access, we do have a written agreement with Metzler; so in spite of the comment that we didn’t have any kind of -, for construction access, we definitely have a written agreement with the Metzler people to use their property for construction access. FISH-GUSMAN: Just construction. RHO: Excuse me. FISH-GUSMAN: I’m sorry. ATTA: Right now, it is for construction access, and we are in the process of negotiating with them about a permanent access. And so, yeah, those are things that I want to make sure that that’s what’s been happening. I think the miscommunication on the issue of the mauka section is, when we talked to Ms. Fish, we said that we were only before the Commission for this makai parcel; and so we said that the only thing that we’re working on was this makai parcel. And the fact that the partnership also owns the mauka area and is preparing the application for the mauka parcel, I think that maybe was not clearly stated to Ms. Fish. But that’s not before this Commission, and that’s something that’s still waiting. And we haven’t filed the application yet. RHO: Any other comments you want to present at this point? LIM: One of the issues raised by Ms. Roy is that the project may be within the Kahaluu Historic District. The environmental report which forms a part of the application at Page 1-5 contains Figure 1-2, which is a depiction of the Kahaluu Historic EXHIBIT A 24
