on many occasions, this time we are on the same side of the table. I’ve also been involved in creating what we now know as Honl’s Beach Park. And what I would invite is the opportunity to meet with the owners of this property to see how we can come up with a positive solution for all, including the community, as well as the owner, in creating a solution whereby we have another beach park in that location. I would ask the Commission to perhaps defer action on this till we can meet with community members and the former committee, meet with the owners, and see if we can mitigate both their financial needs, as well as community needs. So I would invite that opportunity and be a part of a committee to head that up. I look forward to your deferral on this matter. Thank you. HOUSEL: Thank you, Mr. Rapoza. If you’d like to be seated. Is there any -? Do we have anyone else? Is Irminsul here? Okay, I guess not. And Mikahala Roy, would you please come forward? Oh, okay, we’ve got three more here: Malia Kipapa, Leinani Navas-Loa, Toni Owen, Ulrich Bonne – I guess we’re going to have a full table, if everybody shows up. Please be seated. Could you use the microphone, and raise your right hand, please? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS: I do. HOUSEL: Thank you. I guess we’ll start on the left far side here. Could you please state your name and address? BONNE: My name is Ulrich Bonne. I live on Laelae Street in Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i 96740.I appreciate all the comments I’ve heard this morning and your patience in listening to us. And my short comment is really more a question than a comment; but I wonder, to what extent in the spirit of win-win, has it been discussed or considered to use, set aside one percent or two percent land use funds to acquire this parcel in order to move in the direction of adding this parcel to open space as many of the community witnesses have testified this morning. Thank you. HOUSEL: Thank you. KIPAPA: Aloha. My name is Malia Kipapa, currently reside here in Kailua-Kona, originally from Keokaha. I guess, this is in talk about a special use permit for this place, I totally disagree with it being passed. I feel that in so many ways it’s already violating so much laws. And you guys probably already heard it through this past testimony that was already given – I just got here, so I don’t know what was said before I came – but I’m sure you guys already heard it; you guys don’t need to hear from me again. But I’m just saying that there are so much violations being done just through this development plans. It just hurts to see that through this example of development throughout the shoreline of the entire Ali‘i Drive, it just sticks out like a sore thumb already. So everybody talking is pau already, you know, you cannot really say much, just look. Observe like our kupuna did, that you guys can see that that’s the desecration of our kupuna’s iwi and the cultural sites. It’s sore as one Hawaiian to see it with my own eyes. And hopefully, you guys can see through that, too, if those of you on this board that -. You know, you don’t need to be Hawaiian to understand that, just an individual that -. If you guys are going to decide to pass this permit and allow the development to take place, I don’t know how you guys are 15 EXHIBIT C
