Planning Commission members may feel they had enough time to really go forward, I
<br />don’t know, but I just wanted to say that up front.
<br />WATANABE:Thank you. Mr. Iwashita?
<br />IWASHITA:I join in Commissioner Graham’s comments in terms of, you
<br />know, being able to thoroughly review all of this material and really not having a full
<br />opportunity to do that, you know, before this afternoon. So, again, I, too, would not be
<br />prepared to vote on it, you know, to do an approval; and I’m really looking at continuing
<br />this matter at least, you know, to our next meeting here.
<br />WATANABE:Okay. In light of that, then, you know, if two of you abstain then
<br />we’re obviously not going to have the votes no matter what happens. However, the
<br />second part of Mr. Graham’s statement was that, you know, he would like to give the
<br />Applicant some idea or some notion of where this is headed and how they can prepare
<br />better, and if we, you know, would request any additional information from them at the
<br />subsequent meeting. And so that being the case, I would open it up to any of you that
<br />have any concerns that maybe you can voice them now.
<br />FUKE:Mr. Chairman, what I’d like to suggest, I can understand like -.
<br />You know, because it is a rather lengthy document that was just given to the
<br />Commissioners and it was through no fault of their own, I can understand the concern.
<br />And so if that’s the wish of the Commission that they need to have this matter be
<br />continued until the next available meeting in Kona, that would be fine. However, in
<br />addition to getting the response from any of the Commissioners on this matter, if you
<br />would get the public’s testimony today, then that would help us better structure -.
<br />WATANABE:Yeah, I would like to proceed with that. Okay, so continuing is not
<br />an issue with you. Mr. Rho?
<br />RHO:Can I ask a question?
<br />WATANABE:Mr. Rho.
<br />RHO:In Exhibit 13, and you probably know the answer without even
<br />looking at it, but it’s actually from Milton, I mean, not Milton, Sidney to the Director.
<br />It’s Page 1 and it reads it’s in response to this Natural Resources Conservation Service
<br />report, I guess, and that talked about the flood zone, Exhibit 11.
<br />FUKE:Oh, okay. Got it.
<br />RHO:And because I’m not familiar with this whole thing, can you
<br />elaborate on your response?
<br />FUKE:Oh, sure. You know, the Corps of Engineers designates like all the
<br />lands in the County of Hawai`i to several, what you call, flooding categories; and the
<br />EXHIBIT C
<br />8
