site preservation plan has been approved by the DLNR-HPD.” So it makes it clear that, you know, as a condition that you will not have any land disturbance activity on the property, you know, short of hand clearing, for example, until those critical elements have been approved by the respective agencies or entities. So aside from that, you know, Mr. Dickler and I are prepared to answer any questions the Commissioners may have. WATANABE: Thank you. Mr. Salavea? SALAVEA: Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, Mr. Fuke, for your thorough presentation. I’m not sure if you’re able to answer this but can you give us some background. I understood what you were just saying is basically it took this long to get all of the preparation to do the architectural work and figure out what is going to be on the ground; and at this point Mr. Dickler is now ready to proceed and is coming in front of the Commission for the SMA; and that’s the reason for the length of, it looks like inactivity. But can you help me with that? FUKE:Sure. Again, bearing in mind that, you know, Mr. Dickler’s group acquired the property in October of 2004, what happened before then, you know, it’s really like we have no specific answer for that. It could have been just market conditions, or personal conditions between the, you know, the two former owners of the property. But what I was just trying to share with the Commission was that, you know, since October 2004, it takes almost like about a year, maybe a year-and-a-half just to develop all of the basic information that one needs to have on the property like this to even come to the level like where we are right now. And even where we are right now, this is certainly a far cry from, you know, if the Commission approves it, a far cry from ultimately what will happen on the ground. There is going to have to be modifications to the design that you see there. SALAVEA:Thank you. WATANABE:Mr. Graham? GRAHAM:I just wanted to comment on lack of preparation on my part and maybe for other Commissioners. All this material, which is rather substantial, got mailed out from the Planning Department on Tuesday, so I got it Wednesday afternoon; and so the only a day between Wednesday afternoon and now is yesterday. And, you know, I really need to go through the archaeological report closely and the marine resources impacts, so I just wanted to tell you ahead of time, you know, I can’t vote on this thing today because it’s a substantial enough project I don’t want to try to move forward without really understanding everything myself. So, hopefully, from my perspective we can bring up the issues of the places where we might really have to, you know, resolve something where it might be an issue so that I got all that fresh in my mind, you guys have it fresh in your mind, and then we can finish it at the next hearing.
