they come back and say we can’t do this; but I think acknowledging and putting something into your approval would be a good idea. Second, just in terms of the same issue that Mr. Robertson raised, and that’s protecting the reef and the coastal water, certainly that’s all of South Kohala. If I were to pick out one key concern, it’s protecting that asset, water quality. And so I was glad to see that there is a provision in there for monitoring. I think it’s a plan is to be submitted to the Planning Director for approval. And I just wondered whether, there’re a number of places where it says a plan, the water monitoring program, shall be submitted for approval to the Planning Director. I think there is a golf course management plan to be submitted to the Planning Director. And an annual report is to be submitted to the Planning Director. I think also stormwater -. I’m wondering if some of those plans couldn’t be, like, request that Stanford Carr provide those to, like, the Puako Association or the Mauna Lani Association or somewhere where you got some public input. I know the answer may particularly in the area of resource conservation, water protection, encourages how can you incorporate public participation. So particularly where it says there is a monitoring program, it doesn’t say, monitor and if you find something wrong, correct it; but somehow that there’s a little bit more than you’re required to do a plan and submit it to the Planning Director and check. I found the affordable housing section confusing. Maybe you all can understand that, but it was, just reading it, it wasn’t, it’s like 10 percent, but maybe we’ve already done it from the other developments. The General Plan keeps saying encouraging on-site housing for workers, just, I don’t know what you are really requiring there, and maybe I’m just having trouble reading it. Two other quick things. On recreation, I think the SMA talks about adequate access to recreational areas and providing adequate public recreation. I think the three-hole golf course is great, but I just wonder such as playgrounds. And maybe if there’s something there, or maybe this is all for retired people. But considering the increasing burden on Hapuna, and we have very limited beaches, very limited parks, what – and this was an issue that kept being raised repeatedly in the South Kohala, sort of, adequate recreational areas; and I just didn’t see anything that may be there. I’m just raising these -. Are there any playgrounds or anything other than the golf course or paths or jogging places or trails? And the whole area has limited emergency services. I don’t know whether there’s any additional concerns just addressing those kind of shelter issues or whatever needs on that area. And lastly, just I’m looking at the plan, and I see it says that the approval is for ten years and there could be a subsequent approval for up to another ten years. So we are really talking potentially a long-term planning going on and development. And this is something that I don’t think there is a rule requiring it, but at least at this point just in terms of sustainability issues, I think Mauna Lani, at least my understanding is, really sort of talked about self as a green place and what they are doing and sustainability. But I just, to encourage whatever there is in terms of the energy, other areas of sustainability; we are really looking at a project that might be done 20 years from now. What kind of, you know, I would be interested in what way is there encouraging those efforts. Thank you very much. WATANABE: Thank you. Do we have any questions for Ms. Wille? EXHIBIT C 14
