have to say this to you. Just go down there, go ride a bike down there, go drive the car slow, go walk, go see and feel it. Don’t just look at it from a map. Go down, and go up and down Ali‘i Drive on a weekday, go at different times of the day, go on a weekend, and you go and see what it feels like over there. And another thing is Lyman’s is one of the few places that you can take, that I see all the surfers take their little keiki to middle age to teenagers to the kupuna down there, you know. Save it. Save it for us, save it for the community and for the world as a whole. Thank you for listening. Aloha. HOUSEL: Thank you. Okay, we have two more people that would like to testify: Lori Jean Kunewa and Anna le Coque. If you could please use the microphone. Yeah, if you could pick up the microphone, please, and if you could both raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? TESTIFIERS: Yes. HOUSEL: Thank you. We’ll start with you. If you’d like to give your name and address, please. LE COQUE: My name, Anna le Coque, and I want to say something very short. I think that this is so stupid and ridiculous. I feel bad for people who have to go through the stress over something unimaginable. You know what? There should be no buildings on Ali‘i Drive, all these chicken coops, they should be boardwalk for people, and they can see ocean, gorgeous ocean. And don’t go by this greed and stupidity. Thank you. KUNEWA: My name is Lori Jean Kunewa, 75-6081 Ali‘i Drive -. HOUSEL: If you could hold that a little closer and speak up a little bit. Thank you. Your name and address, please. KUNEWA: Lori Jean Kunewa, 75-6081 Ali‘i Drive, Kailua-Kona. I’m here to oppose the development of this property. I got married on a surfboard in the middle of Hlualoa Bay about two weeks ago. And my husband cannot be here today because he is working, as I’m sure many people who oppose to this are. It was the most beautiful day of my life obviously because I got married, but also because of the spiritual blessings that were bestowed upon us on that day in the water, and that was witnessed by many of our family and friends who were there. I have a picture that was taken I wish I had with me today, but it’s taken from the water; it pans all the way up to the top of the mountain, and it’s mostly green and beautiful. And I’m asking you to th oppose this development, so that on my 25 wedding anniversary when I paddle out again with my husband to celebrate and renew our vows, I can take another picture from out there and it will look the same – it won’t have a 64-foot condominium complex in the way. So thank you for your time. And again, I oppose this. HOUSEL: Thank you. It looks like we have a couple more people: Roy Crytsar and Jeremy Jaentsch. Could you use the microphone, please? Raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Planning Commission? 20 EXHIBIT C
