SPRINGER:Thank you. Just if I may make a comment with regard to Commissioner KubotaÓs referring us to the agency letter and also to Dr. RechtmanÓs letter. I donÓt see any reference to interviews conducted with knowledgeable people in the area. Clearly, thereÓs reference to studies based on the physical remains that may have been on the property. But perhaps the testifierÓs bringing to our attention an oversight and perhaps some investigation with regard to interviewing informants may be useful. Thank you. FUJIKAWA:Thank you. Is there any question from the Commissioners? Okay. You may proceed. HANEY:I will go ahead and speak next. Again, my name is Brian H and IÓm also a licensed top professional engineer, and I specialize in system planning for major utilities. So itÓs kind of a special pleasure for me to talk to the Planning Commission because planning is something that I take very seriously. I sent out this presentation which I would like to go through if everybody had a chance to receive that. On the second slide, thereÓs a map which shows the parcels in this area. IÓm sure most people are very familiar with this, but I provided thi complicated situation. What we have here is Parcel No. 30 which should be marked Soto. ItÓs the one that ends in 30, thatÓs sort of right in the middle. ThatÓs where the proposed development is going in. Just north of there, Parcel 32, belongs to Mr. Michael Kniss. We have Parcel 12, which recently had some transactions take place. Mr. Soto now owns half of that property, the other half is owned by Mr. Kniss. So they share that jointly and they both use that for access to their properties or will use it for acces We also have Parcel No. 38, which is now run by Sun Terra Resorts. ItÓs a very long, skinny parcel which runs along Alii Drive; and they use it for what they call the Long House, which is an old building thatÓs actually a little bit too close to the road, but weÓll talk about that later. Just south of there, we have Parcel 37, which is a little sliver of land which is registered right now to Ms. Lilly Ako, who, according to the obituary I found on the internet, passed away three years ago and another man, Shigeru Oda. WasnÓt really, we could have tracked down any of the descendants of these people -. We donÓt really know whoÓs, owns that property. And then, of course, to the south, we have Parcel 3, which belongs to Sea Village. On the next slide, we kind of detailed the area a little bit. This is also a very congested area, and this is not a surprise to anybody who has driven down Alii Drive lately. ThereÓs a lot of development going on there and, you know, we canÓt stop change. But, as planners, one thing we can do is we can direct it and make sure that itÓs done properly and safely. 6
