polluted the water. This all has been brought forward to the County trail, State trail, and all of these <br /> pieces. <br /> Sometimes justice moves slow the law, but it will catch on and the fact is there's no trust from the <br /> petitioner. We don't trust him at all because if you go and you destroy the Alaloa from your own <br /> actions and you no take no steps to repair it. No steps to step forward and address it, but yet you <br /> come to this board expecting to make more damage by allowing you to make another road that is <br /> not necessary, but yet you have no integrity— <br /> WAN: Thirty seconds remaining. <br /> MEDEIROS: And take care of the damage you did, that we repaired, the descendants. So, I'm <br /> asking of you to deny this proposal because we don't need this road, and we don't need no more <br /> Hawaiian kupunas be dug up in it because you guys have such an important position. <br /> Your decisions will affect the past, the present, and the future because this decision will dig up <br /> graves, that will be on you, because your—allowing this road to go through. Now that you have <br /> been put on notice, that this is serious business. Our kupuna's we don't want to see any more dug <br /> up. And the Hokuli`a now is not the Hokuli`a of twenty-four years ago because the consciousness <br /> has changed. The Hokuli`a of now complies with every single rule and every single thing and they <br /> have don't a great job in complying with all of the issues that surround it— <br /> WAN: <br /> tWAN: Can you please wrap up? <br /> MEDEIROS: I see no action taken by someone who is applying for a new road that he doesn't <br /> even take care of the damage he created now, so in my conclusion, I don't know I'm three minutes <br /> already <br /> WAN: Yeah. <br /> MEDEIROS: Thank you for letting me testify and again I request you deny this because it will <br /> cause so much more division of this community and because we are going to stand up for <br /> protecting all of these resources and the things that make Kona better. <br /> WAN: Thank you for your testimony. <br /> SURPRENANT: Chair, we now have Walter Kelly online. <br /> KELLY: Yes, good morning, can you hear me well? <br /> LEWIS: Yes, thank you. <br /> KELLY: As a central litigate in the 2000 lawsuit, Kelly versus 1250 Oceanside Partners, Protect <br /> Keopuka Ohana, and ourselves, take this current issues very seriously. As you may recall that <br /> lawsuit which effectively shut down the Hokuli`a project was initiated after floodwaters poured <br /> off the project in September 2000 and muddy the pristine waters in the [indecipherable] Bay. Since <br /> that time, 1250 Oceanside Partners and their successor 1250 Oceanside LLC have invested <br /> considerable time and expense in designing flood control basins and minimizing pave surfaces <br /> within the fifteen hundred acres project. These actions have successively prevented any runoff <br /> from entering the ocean for nearly twenty-four years. <br /> EXHIBIT A <br /> Page 2 <br />
