thth <br />This particular application was heard both on February 24 and, also, on May 26 of this <br />th <br />year. At the May 26 meeting, the Planning Commission voted to continue the hearing <br />in order to allow a few things. <br />The first was the Commission requested the Applicant contact the State of Hawaii agency <br />responsible, having jurisdiction over the Judd Trail and, also, to see if they would be able <br />to attend this meeting. It’s my understanding we do have correspondence to the effect <br />that the Applicant had contacted the State agency involved, which is the Na Ala Hele <br />Trails people or the State Historic Preservation Division. <br />The second thing that the Commission also requested is that the Applicant contact the <br />interviewees of the Agricultural Cultural Report and have those individuals in attendance, <br />interviewees be present if possible and, also, to provide copies of the cultural report to <br />those interviewees. We were informed that the Applicant had submitted the report to the <br />interviewees listed in the report. <br />Also, the Commission requested that photos be taken of this particular property. The <br />staff did go out two days ago to take a photo of the entrance of the property in the vicinity <br />of the Judd Trail. Unfortunately, the photo is not really clear as to exactly where the Judd <br />Trail is located. <br />We also went onto the web and we got some aerial photos that were taken of the coastline <br />of the Big Island by Hawaiian Images showing where the subject property is located, as <br />well as some of the surrounding areas. So I’ll circulate that at this time. <br />Again, for the Commissioners’ information, the Planning Director is recommending <br />approval of this particular request with numerous conditions. Are there any questions? <br />WATANABE:Fellow Commissioners, any questions? Okay, seeing that there are <br />none, would the Applicants please come forward? <br />LAU:Good morning, Mr. Chairman. <br />WATANABE:Good morning. <br />LAU:My name is Christopher Lau. I’m the President of Towne <br />Development of Hawaii, who is the managing member of the Royal Alii LLC. <br />WATANABE:May I swear you in. Okay. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth <br />now before the Hawaii Planning Commission? <br />LAU:Yes. <br />WATANABE:And, for the record, would you state your name and address, <br />please? <br />EXHIBIT A <br />2 <br /> <br />
