Could you please give us your name and address for the <br />record? <br />BALOG:Kevin Balog. My address is P.O. Box 368, Paauilo, Hawaii, 96776. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. Mr. Lim will you be leading the testimony? <br />LIM:Yes I will. Steven Lim, P.O. Box 686, Hilo, 96721. <br />SPRINGER:You may proceed. <br />LIM:We€ve received the copy of the Background and Recommendation <br />from the Planning Department. We have no comments or additions. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you Mr. Lim. Commissioners do you have any questions for the <br />applicant€s representative? Commissioner Graham? <br />GRAHAM:A little bit off point here but as long as we€re here today so that it has <br />someeducationalvaluecouldyoujustgiveusaquickoverviewofhowthematerialisusedso <br />that we can kind of sense what it€s all about. I mean is this going to build roads or houses or, <br />just for a minute or 2 if you wouldn€t mind. <br />LIM:Sure. As you notice the length of the special permit is rather unusual. <br />This is a large area and the primary area for cinder that is going down to various house and <br />golf course projects. Part of the work that was done through Mr. Balog€s company was to <br />have the PGA Golf Association recognize and accept their method of processing the cinders <br />so that it was approved for use on the golf fairways. And so that€s part of what the use is. <br />The special permit was-, you know they€ve only been on, the Deluz Trucking Company has <br />only been on the quarry for the last approximately 5 years or so. Prior to that Waikoloa <br />Development Company had used it for road based coarse, some agricultural uses, those types <br />of uses, potting soil. And so typically what you will see today is the harvesting of the, the <br />quarrying of the cinder and running through a crusher. After which they truck it out to <br />various customers in the Kona, Waikoloa-Kona area. As we see Waikoloa build out I€m sure <br />you all are aware of the pending developments both by the County and Castle and Cook and <br />others in the area. We should see more use of the cinder directly in Waikoloa. <br />EXHIBIT C <br />3 <br /> <br />
