since Ms. Kjos has already put some effort into a, trying to flesh thatout, what it would <br />cost and what would be involved, I think, in my mind, especially just mauka of that <br />Kahaluu Beach Park, this is very important and certainly is very on point with an SMA <br />Permit. So I would like to see this application be deferred until another meeting, at which <br />point we can get some specifics put together about what would be necessary to bring this <br />whole little neighborhood into compliance with a hookup to the Keauhou sewer system. <br />And hopefully by that time, also, maybe some of these other issues which we were not <br />aware of that Ms. Kjos brought forward and that don€t appear to be specific SMA issues, <br />maybe we could have a little more background at that point, too, about how they could be <br />dealt with. That€s my feelings. <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Mooers, before your comments, I€d like to ask for the Planning <br />Director€s response to Commissioner Graham€s proposal. <br />YUEN:Well,wecangetwhateverinformationthePlanningCommission <br />would like. And I€m sure that the specifics, whatever the specifics would be, as far as the <br />amount, what you would get from the Department of Environmental Management, which <br />handles wastewater, is, well, I don€t believe that they have any plans to extend the line <br />into this area. I could be wrong on that, but I don€t believe that€s true. If they did, if the <br />residents wanted it extended, they could form an Improvement District, the County would <br />form the Improvement District; but they€d have to vote on it, they€d have to vote in favor <br />of doing it. The cost, I€m quite sure, if the County did not extend the line in there, I€m <br />quite sure that the cost would be prohibitive for any individual to do it to their own <br />property, if that were a condition. <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Graham? <br />GRAHAM:Maybe I misheard Ms. Kjos or maybe one of us heard something <br />different than the other. But the sense I got was that she had been aware of the benefits <br />of connecting to the Keauhou system, not the County Kailua system. I think the Keauhou <br />system is run by Bishop Estate and all, if I understand correctly, and that she felt that it <br />was certainly financially feasible if the different people in that area got together to make <br />that happen. I don€t know if we need to call her back to the stand. But I was feeling that <br />that was an issue that perhaps could be resolved and I feel that there€s a lot of value to it <br />if it can be. <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Yuen, do you have any comments with regard to the Keauhou <br />system as compared to the Kailua system? <br />YUEN:No, I don€t have any information on the Keauhou system. <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Mooers, you€ve heard this discussion. Do you have any <br />comments that you might have on Mr. Graham€s proposal? <br />MOOERS:Well, I€ve seen conditions placed on an application before that say <br />that should the County extend a sewer line in the area, that the applicant shall connect.
