SALAVEA:Preservation. Yeah, I’m not the most akamai in that area so if you could just clarify for me, please. LAU:Unfortunately, I’m not as akamai, either. I’d like to bring up Mr. Kennedy and I think he can give us some background on this. Thank you. SALAVEA:Thank you. WATANABE:Mr. Kennedy, may I swear you in? Would you raise your right hand, please? I need to swear you in prior to testimony. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Hawai`i County Planning Commission? KENNEDY:Yes, I do. WATANABE:And would you state your name and address for the record, please? KENNEDY:Joseph Kennedy, 59-624 Pupukea Road, Haleiwa, Hawai`i. WATANABE:I believe the question was from Mr. Salavea. SALAVEA:If you could summarize the recovery, the preservation process for us? KENNEDY:I think I can keep it simple and put it in plain English. SALAVEA:Thank you. KENNEDY:An Archaeological Inventory Survey was conducted, not by myself but another qualified firm some years ago. The inventory phase is essentially a discovery phase where an archaeologist systematically goes through a property, identifies all the historic properties. That happened I believe in the ‘90s. Then when I came on board there was an issue of data recovery, which is another step in the archaeological process whereby additional information is taken from the sites; and it is a process that lends some sort of justification to the trade-off between modern needs and the respected past. In addition, in this particular property, there is a, by comparison I would say, a very generous preservation zone that fronts Ali`i Drive. The entire length of the property saved for a, I think it’s a 20- or -. LAU:Forty-foot road. KENNEDY:Forty-foot access road so they can go in and out. But all fronting Ali`i Drive and what, in my opinion, would be the defining agent of this development will be a variety of sites from a variety of time periods in Hawaiian history. Some are EXHIBIT A 10
