I do not support the proposed "assessment prepared by o licensed archaeologist'; since it would not hove to follow DLNR rules. 1 do not support o letter claiming no historic sites. Who would check up on what it claimed? We've lost enough already.Just drawing on my own limited experience- 1 was digging in the sand of Woipio when 1 was about 10 years old, and dug up o skull. My mother told me to just leove it. 1 don't know what happened to it. My sister went on on archaeological trip to Ko Lae in the 1950s, when she was o teenager. The person in charge directed her to go into o tunnel and pull out some bones. She doesn't know where they were token. She remembers getting sick afterward. I've been told there ore burial coves in the impact area of Pohokuloo. But the Army refuses to go in and look, and just keeps bombing there. Many signifi'cont artifacts were probably destroyed before any protective lows were passed.And illegal destruction still happened afterwards, to this day. " Rebuild" means the reconstruction of a lawfully existing structure when the reconstruction is valued by a licensed professional engineer or architect at more than fifty percent of the replacement cost of the structure p. 59 What's to prevent someone from doing multiple projects of just below fifty percent? A setback variance may be granted for a structure or activity otherwise prohibited in this rule if it is necessary and ancillary to the uses and activities listed in Planning Commission Rule 8 (Shoreline Setback Variance, Section 8- 11.) p. 61 Does this reduce oversight by the Planning Commission?
