YUEN:Yes. <br />SIRACUSA:I mean, can we do that? Usually, time extensions are granted <br />while something is still operative but moving towards the deadline; and here it€s already <br />expired. <br />FUKE:Except that the application for a time extension was made prior to <br />this expiration. <br />SIRACUSA:Okay. Okay, so if we deny the extension, then the project is dead; <br />and if they want to go forward, they have to start off from the giddyup. Is that correct? <br />YUEN:They would be allowed to reapply for a new permit, but this permit <br />would be dead. <br />SIRACUSA:Okay. One of the reasons I€m asking about this is because, asit <br />hasbeenmentionedbefore,therehavebeenalotofchangessince1992wheneverything <br />began. For example, a lot more houses have been built in Ainaloa, the Puna emergency <br />access road has opened up and, so, there are a lot more building that has gone on in <br />Hawaiian Acres as well. There have beenan awful lot of changes, possibly even some <br />law or rule changes. And, so, things like the traffic studies, you know, which were based <br />on traffic back then, with a lot more buildings in both of these subdivisions and a lot <br />more happening, as we speak, there€s going to be even more of a traffic impact. <br />So I€m, you know, I€m looking at these kinds of things and wondering if it wouldn€t be <br />better to go back from scratch; and that way we would be able to look at all those changes <br />that have happened and take them into consideration which, right now, we can€t do, if my <br />understanding is correct. <br />I also wanted to -. Mr. Fulks, you live right next door. Do you happen to know what the <br />annual rainfall is up there? This was never brought up in any of the documents we have <br />gotten. <br />FULKS:Well, of course, rainfall will vary quite a bit from year-to-year, but <br />approximately 225 inches. <br />SIRACUSA:Thank you. I looked at the technical reference report for Puna the <br />other day and it showed that area somewhere between 150 and 200 inches. I live on the <br />other side of the forest from there and mine is 200 inches. <br />I€m wondering about herbicide use on the golf course and the effects of high rainfall on <br />polluted runoff. I had asked for, there was mentioned in here of the department€s <br />guidelines for golf courses; and when I asked for a copy, all I got was just a layout. It <br />didn€t say anything about how, you know, using integrated pest management would be <br />required for designing the course in order to save large native trees, or anything like that. <br />24 <br /> <br />
