LIM: We feel that the purple alignment or something similar to that a <br />then going out into the Thurston estate, the Big Surf Trust property, then coming back along and <br />joining up with the lateral shoreline access that the Kona Bay E <br />along the seawall that they have there, would be in keeping with the SMA rules and regulations <br />with respect to lateral shoreline public access. We think that running the public access through <br />the back of the parking lot would cause us to not only lose significant amount of parking spaces <br />but would also open up the hotel like youÓve never opened up a private hotel property before. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Is that agreeable? <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Providing that we can work that out with Big Surf. I happen to think that <br />the purple alignment that follows the shoreline is the one -. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Is probably best. <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Preferred by the public, too. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Yeah. <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: Because, you know, the idea is a shoreline access, and then that would <br />follow the shoreline and then hook up with the current public access in front of the Old Kona <br />Airport area, ka Makaeo. <br />WATANABE: Yeah, agreed, and the red would not occur anyway unless you had an <br />agreement with the other property owners, so -. <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: And itÓs a less preferred access in reality. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Yeah. <br /> <br />LEITHEAD TODD: The one that goes along with shoreline is the one that I would, I mean, in <br />the past when I heard public testimony, it seems to me that itÓs been access to the shoreline area <br />there that has been preferred. I guess the anchialine ponds is something else that maybe we can <br />work out with Big Surf. But the public, I think, at least in prior hearings on various applications <br />in this area has always talked about shoreline. <br /> <br />WATANABE: Yeah, okay, so -. <br /> <br />ROY: (Speaking from the audience area) (Inaudible) do you know the DLNR <br />(inaudible)? (Inaudible) are you familiar? That was closed by the DLNR (inaudible). <br /> <br />WATANABE: Okay, the time Î thank you for that information Î but the time for public <br />testimony has passed. <br /> <br />ROY: (Speaking from the audience area) (Inaudible) you donÓt seem to know. <br />You are not up to date, is my point. IÓm giving you some current information. I hope you <br />appreciate that. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />18 <br /> <br />
