SIRACUSA:Well, I would just like to know if Ms. ONeill is for or against this development, or for it with concerns or, you know, cause you didnt say. ONEILL:No, I didnt. The best way I can respond to that is that I am very appreciative of the process that the Applicants have made. I wish that that communication was much, much earlier. Based on what I know now and knowing that there will be future conversations, I am generally in favor of this, but, because its gone through all sorts of steps already. Such a major impact on other coastal areas, I would be very, very, very cautious about saying I approve. Does that answer your question? SIRACUSA:Yes. ONEILL:Thank you. GALDONES:Hearing or seeing theres no further questions of Ms. ONeill, Ms.Mendoza.Ms.Mendoza,pleasestateyournameandyourresidenceaddress,andyoumay begin. MENDOZA:Lorraine Mendoza, 28-533 Kaakepa Street in Pepeekeo. Im here to represent the Pepeekeo Community Association and Id like to read testimony that I submitted th one year, one day ago. This is on September 15 ; and I also have one that I did for this particular hearing. On behalf of the Pepeekeo Community Association, I would like to submit testimony in support of the request from Continental Pacific, LLC, for approval of SMA 03-009. Being involved in addressing the communitys concern about retaining fishing access to various popular shoreline fishing grounds in Pepeekeo, I am impressed by the willingness of both the community and landowners to develop a working relationship, of willingness, of collaboration. The common goal of acknowledging and honoring the values and identity of the Pepeekeo community has always been the guiding principal of the Association. It is this same principal thathaschanneledtheeffortsofaddressingthefishingaccessissuestoresultinawin-win resolution that both parties have agreed to.
