tall building when viewed makai from the highway. And there are conditions, I think, <br />that can minimize or eliminate that thing from happening. <br />But more critical I think as it relates to providing another opportunity for the Kona <br />community and the Commissioners to get the input, the Applicant would not mind having <br />the hearing be continued to the next meeting in Hilo, excuse me, the next meeting in <br />Kona.

Counsel could answer that. <br />22 <br /> <br />
