public course should allow more than one day a week public play if itÓs public land. And, also, I mean, I actually donÓt support a golf course being built there at all, but if there is and thatÓs part of the public park and the public domain, I think it should be open to public use. I also want to say that we do support the use of the Audubon Gold tenets which Jerry Rothstein has been, you know, talking to the landowners about using. It seems like the best currently available method for protecting the shoreline from degradation due to toxic runoff. And it does seem to set the standard higher for the County, and that seems like a good thing. The other thing was the Water Quality Monitoring Program. My understanding is that there will be one and, of course, I guess, obviously, a baseline for water quality standards should be set prior to any grading or bulldozing of the property. And IÓm sorry I didnÓt see that, it could be in the permit but I didnÓt see that. Though, otherwise, in keeping with the one-third landowner, one-third community, one- third County management model, I believe it should be written in the SMA permit that a Water Quality Monitoring Program should be financed at the landownerÓs expense, whether or not the other two entities are able to financially do so. IÓm not really clear about how the cost of that Water Monitoring Program will go. But I just worry that in the future if you donÓt have the same people involved and money is tight that if the County and the public canÓt come up with the financing that this Water Quality Monitoring Program might lack, lag -. And that seems very important. The other last thing, which I donÓt know if thereÓs any possibility of changing this -. But the structure for the guests, the owners of the nearby homes, thereÓs going to be a clubhouse or beach facility built for them, and now I know itÓs down far by the national park -. We still believe that a structure for them should not b the public use shoreline area. History has shown that public, p the coastline engender private use of the area. And this area is used by the public, not as extensively as the bay there where the surfing is but a lot of people do go down there. And from what IÓve seen and my experience everywhere in Hawaii where there is a private facility set up, the local people tend to avoid that area, and then they lose it as their own. I appreciate the opportunity to talk. I appreciate all the work that has gone into this. I do hope that you make a few of these changes or make sure that some there and that the golf course could be for public play as well. Thanks. SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioners, any questions or comments for Ms. Palma-Glennie? Commissioner Graham? GRAHAM:Janice, I just have one little feeling that IÓve noticed arising in the last few days, is that, to me, for them to develop this is not like developing Mauna Kea or developing Four Seasons and all where you have, you know, your pocket bay and donÓt 16
