M.ROY:How will the basement be created in that unit that I spoke, that you spoke <br />of earlier? <br />BLECK:Fill material from the site will be placed around the peri <br />building at about four feet in height. <br />M.ROY:Fill from -. <br />BLECK:So that the buildings will be -, in appearance, they'll be set into grade. <br />M.ROY:And -. <br />BLECK:Further minimizing the volume, the mass of the building. <br />M.ROY:And you did say that's existing landfill that you will find there, is that <br />right? <br />BLECK:It's our hope to get most of that, if not all of it, from the site. <br />M.ROY:With regard to the statement made of the question on the lanai, again, I <br />bring to the floor the question of ordinances, prospective or otherwise, for sacred properties, a <br />height to which you may not oversee. Working in sacred areas, as some of even the committee <br />members, Commission members understand by their experience, we indeed, as a public, are <br />looking to those kinds of requirements even now. If I'm not mistaken, at Keolonhihi, that was a <br />point in the creation of the `Alohi Kai area to Keolonhihi, it's entirely a visual intrusion. And <br />further, a lanai looking out over a sacred site is total intrusion in our mind. So I have many <br />questions with regard to the height factor and to the overall plan you have for excavation <br />especially, but I'll reserve, limit my comments to -, as I've been directed. <br />BLECK:In answer to that thought, the lanai is only on the second floor, which is <br />only nine feet off of grade, and I understand that wall is in the neighborhood of 19 feet. There's <br />no way that they could see over it. <br />M.ROY:Have you been, have you looked into ordinances or I think given in your <br />last testimony, guidance from the State on building with regard to sacredness? <br />BLECK:I didn't read the Revised Statute 205A, I believe, that I <br />M.ROY:So since the last hearing and now, you have, when you last testified, you <br />have not reviewed that? <br />BLECK:Not in its entirety. <br />GIFFIN:I'm going to have to ask you to move along so that we can <br />time to hear the other public witness. <br />24 <br /> <br />
