and expect the environment to be protected, we deserve what we get. And, you know, this is a <br />situation close to the ocean. This is a situation where I think you reasonably anticipate that there <br />will be problems if you don’t do something. We need to start somewhere; and this is a good <br />place to start if it hasn’t actually been done before. And I guess there’s indication that the <br />National Park was involved and it asked for it, it got it. So, you know, seems like what’s good <br />for the National Park ought to be good for us, our ocean. <br />ALAMEDA:Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL:Yeah, I mean, well, I guess I was the one who brought or, I don’t know if <br />anybody brought this up or not. But, anyway, at this point, I’m not comfortable with, even <br />though I brought this up with voting in favor of this amendment for several reasons: One is that <br />we don’t know what this thing costs, we don’t know what the burden is that we’re putting on <br />these people. And I’m not willing to, you know, I mean, if these costs a million bucks apiece <br />obviously, you know, I’m not willing to do that. I do also feel that whatever we do needs to be, <br />we need to be fair and even-handed. If we’re doing this for this, we do need to do it for every <br />other SMA permit. And I believe like Commissioner Rho that this, you know, that other permits <br />that we have had would be far, you know, worse polluters than this. I just don’t see this being a <br />real problem. I mean, we can make this information available to Big Island Honda; and if they <br />want to be good environmental stewards and they find out that they can do this for, you know, <br />thousand bucks a drywell, they probably will want to do it and, you know, get some good PR <br />from it, too. But that’s as far as I would be willing to go at this point. <br />ALAMEDA:All right. I’m ready to call for the vote. Any objection? Seeing none, <br />staff? <br />HAYASHI:Thank you, and the motion is to add a condition requiring a filtration <br />system around the drywell, subject to approval by the Planning Director, as Commissioner <br />Iwashita had recommended or suggested. Commissioner Iwashita? <br />IWASHITA:Yes. <br />HAYASHI:Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:Aye. <br />HAYASHI:Commissioner McCall? <br />MCCALL:No. <br />HAYASHI:Commissioner Rho? <br />RHO:No. <br />HAYASHI:Commissioner Salavea? <br />SALAVEA:No. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />15 <br /> <br />
