HAITSUKA: Yes, my name is Edmund Haitsuka. I represent the applicant, Edwin Deluz Trucking and Gravel, LLC. And with me is Mr. Kevin Balog who is a representative of the applicant. HOUSEL: And your address, please. HAITSUKA: My address is 75-1000 Henry Street, Suite 209, Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i 96740. HOUSEL: And the applicant, address, please. BALOG: Kevin Balog with Edwin Deluz Trucking and Gravel. Address: P. O. Box 368 Pa‘auilo, Hawai‘i 96776. HOUSEL: Thank you very much. Mr. Haitsuka, would you like to make a comment on this? HAITSUKA: Yes, Mr. Chair. We have received the Planning Department’s report and recommendations and we have no comments, objections or anything to add this time. HOUSEL: Commissioners, do you have any questions of the applicant? BOWMAN: I do. Do you know approximately how far from the, like, say, the mauka edge of the proposed subdivision the quarry, the pu‘u, is from? Like miles-wise. BALOG: They are based on the, actually, from where they do the actual subdivision; from the pu‘u, it’s further from the access road, it’s about 1,000 feet. So it depends where you are asking from where. BOWMAN: And then – can we have the aerial again, please – and then, just to reconfirm, so that the quarry would take place in the lower left hand area, correct? BALOG: Correct. We actually, I think, I don’t know if it came in our stuff we submitted, we actually haven’t actively mined any part of the cinder cone in two and half years or three years. And down on the, you can see a little bit of a crusher, then you see - (receiving a laser pointer from the staff). So the actual mining that we would be mining is in this area in here, right here. And you can kind of see a gray rock right here – that’s actually what we are after is this area. And you asked about how far, from here to the access road – I don’t know if Jeff took the, what it was – it’s about 1,000 feet, then from there to the subdivision is about another 1,000. BOWMAN: Okay, thank you. HOUSEL: Any other questions? One question: The area that we are looking at now is part of the pu‘u, the condition No. 3 which says, “Mining of Pu‘u Hinai shall Immediately cease …,” so there would be no more activity in the pu‘u, if this were approved, is that correct? HAITSUKA: That’s correct, Mr. Chair. There hasn’t been any mining on the pu‘u for over two and half years; I think the last mining of that was prior to maybe somewhere of 2007. 5 EXHIBIT B
