DOMINGO: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Originally, what were the pending issues that <br />the potential contested case hearings were at that time -? <br />LIM: I’ll answer the questions. We’ve settled issues with the parties, and <br />primarily they related to concerns over the construction access traffic – you know, Mauna Lani is <br />relatively a high-end resort and they only have one way in from the Highway going into Mauna <br />Lani – so they wanted us to implement a construction access road and that would primarily run <br />from the project along Hoohana back out towards the fire station, towards the Waikoloa fire <br />station, the one along the Highway, and we are going to be in negotiations with Tokyu <br />Corporation who is the owner of the land, and with the State Department of Transportation over <br />the specific location on where we come out there. That road would also be improved as – we’re <br />thinking to rough grade and gravel standard – that would also be used and available for the <br />Puako Community Association to use as emergency access for them and the Mauna Lani Resort <br />people in case there is something that happens on Mauna Lani Drive going up to the Highway. <br />Other big issue, I think, was the commitment by Stanford Carr Development to attempt to use <br />commercially reasonable efforts to utilize the wastewater that is going to come from the project <br />back to the treatment plant that’s further in on Hoohana, and try to bring that back on the, what <br />they call, R-2 standard so we can irrigate it. We are not in control of the quality and quantity of <br />effluent that comes back to us, so we are promising to do commercially reasonable efforts to try <br />to get that done. And we’ve already committed to the community, and the Planning Director has <br />required this condition that the three-hole golf amenity be watered by non-potable water. <br />The last one was the issue of the density.And we’ve had various negotiations with the <br />community, and have agreed that the proposal that’s before you today is within the Mauna Lani <br />Resort Association and the Villages Association’s idea of what they think is consistent with the <br />density for Mauna Lani Resort. <br />WATANABE: Thank you. Mr. Woodward. <br />WOODWARD: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Am I to understand that you have reached a <br />settlement with all of the intervenors, that they’ve all withdrawn their contested case <br />applications? <br />LIM: That is correct. And we have, when I was speaking about those two <br />additional conditions that I’m going to read – I think we have Mr. George Robertson from the <br />Puako Community Association here to testify, he is one of the public witnesses who will testify – <br />we are agreeing to add two more conditions, and I’m going to read it to you. One relates to that <br />non-potable irrigation of the golf amenity and the other one relates to the utilization of the <br />construction access road for alternate emergency access in favor of Puako. <br />WOODWARD: Just as a brief follow-up, I would like to congratulate you and Sherry <br />Broder who evidently was the hearings officer, that you guys were able to come to an agreement <br />with these three other parties. And I think that’s remarkable achievement. <br />WATANABE: Any further -? Ms. Bowman. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />7 <br /> <br />
