<br />BEAUDET: Commissioners, any questions or comments? Thank you, Sidney. <br /> <br />FUKE: Sure. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: I have the list of testifiers in front of me, and once again no one has signed up, so if <br />there is anyone from the community who would wish to testify, please -. Excuse me, sir, you <br />signed up to testify on behalf of the Teshima applicant? Okay, so we stand corrected. One <br />individual has signed up to testify: Andy Archibald. Would you please come forward, sir. <br /> <br />ARCHIBALD: Good morning. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Good morning. Would you please state your name and speak directly into the <br />microphone. <br /> <br />ARCHIBALD: Yes. My name is Andy Archibald. I’m here to represent the board of directors of <br />Kona Coffee Villas. And to allay Sidney’s concerns, I am not here to protest -. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: I’m sorry, sir. I need to swear you in. <br /> <br />ARCHIBALD: Okay. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Would you please raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on <br />this matter now before the Hawai‘i County Leeward Planning Commission? <br /> <br />ARCHIBALD: Yes, sir. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Thank you. <br /> <br />ARCHIBALD: Again, my name is Andy Archibald. I’m here to represent Kona Coffee Villas <br />Board of Directors. We do not oppose this project in any way, and we would like to publicly <br />acknowledge we acknowledge and support the Teshima family for their enormous contributions to <br />West Hawai‘i, especially to the one group near and dear to my heart, American Veterans. Our <br />concern is that we have a chance now to ask about Hooper Road. We were notified some time ago <br />that Hooper Road was no longer a County road. And there was some dispute as to the ownership of <br />the road. This concerns us because, No. 1, people in the area behind Kona Coffee Villas have been <br />linked to the burglary ring in Hōlualoa, and we frequently have parties that go late in the night that <br />we believe involve other substances beside beer. There is some concern as to getting police <br />response and/or fire response to anywhere on Hooper Road. So we came down here just to ask you <br />the status of Hooper Road and whether there is anything we can do about the current situation <br />behind us. Thank you. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Thank you. Deputy Director, Bobby, maybe you can comment that, you know, the <br />comment has been heard, and that the County will try its best to address the situation. <br /> <br />COMMAND: First of all, regarding the ownership of Hooper Road, if I can ask Ki to make a <br />comment on that. Ki Emler, Department of Public Works, Engineering. <br /> <br />4 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
