SPRINGER:Mrs. Golding. GOLDING, C.:Yes. About the camping. One of the reasons that we wanted to make a group type of camping, it would be groups thats coming in, natural groups, YWCA, YMCA th children. I was raised on Oahu and in 4 grade we came to the Big Island as Hawaiiana and raised money to stay in the Uncle Billys hotel or wherever and did hula for Uncle Billys. But, there arent too many facilities where a group of kids or naturalists are going to come and stay together in a inexpensive way and then experience the land instead of in a cement building. So that was the purpose of doing a in-hostel and then an outside camping just to make it inexpensive for groups to come learn and study. SPRINGER:Thank you maam. Commissioner Watanabe? WATANABE:This would be addressed to either one of you. But in terms of your finances as well as the chronology what portion of this vision you anticipated to build out first, where does the camping fall into that? Was that first or last or in the middle somewhere? GOLDING, G.:Basically our, we were starting off with the store and our residence and the camping is a thing that-. That area that we showed for the camping is all aa and we tend to keep it that way with little spaces for camping only with trails. So that would be a on going thing duringtheprojectprobablyaswewouldgoon.Itwouldntbeathingthat-ourmaingoalisthe main building to get started. WATANABE:So so then- GOLDING, C.:Be toward the end. WATANABE:You possibly would be open to reapplying for it at a later date cause I believe the Directors recommendations would allow you to proceed with your initial plans right? GOLDING, G.:Well, we did go and our recommendations were to present it all at once to see what we could get and thats what were doing now. SPRINGER:Thank you Mr. Golding. Other Commissioners any questions before we continue on with Mr. Roland? Thank you. Mr. Roland. ROLAND:Yes I think that maybe Ill just go through it and see if some of the comments that I have here-. On the third page when we get down to item B when you get to the Directors evaluation it says the desired use will have adverse effects surrounding properties-the desired use would adversely affect surrounding properties. From our point of view in Ocean View its hard to see that. There would be far more benefits than any adverse effects and were hoping to enhance the property significantly. So theres not, its a relatively undeveloped or sparsely developed area and we would be doing our development in advance of other development and possibly would have a positive influence in the area. But thats open into interpretation I believe. And then the noise impact aspects, which is further down. We have to EXHIBIT B 9
