Lot 3, I’m sorry you guys are going to have to be 60 feet back, but Lot 2, you can go up to 40
<br />feet, because it’s a different, it’s a different lay.
<br />
<br />IKEDA: Well, I’m just looking at the Director’s Recommendation and conditions and when I
<br />saw that, then I was in favor you know because I know there’s different sizes because I’m kind
<br />of familiar with the area. But, so, I felt very comfortable with the Director’s Recommendation,
<br />so now if you’re gonna change the rules of the game, I’m having second thoughts. That’s all I’m
<br />saying.
<br />
<br />SHROPSHIRE: If I may, Mr. Ikeda, I think you, what you, what you’re ruling on today is, is a
<br />60-foot setback until the individual homeowner or myself can provide you know substantial and
<br />conclusive evidence that something less than that is scientifically—and that’s why I’ve hired,
<br />you know, hired a geologist to go in and do this, and it’s, it’s you know this is something I think
<br />is needed along the coastline because it’s, it gets very subjective. You know one person’s
<br />opinion versus the other, but he did a very, very in-depth study, and I would, I would invite you
<br />to you know look through especially this, this updated version of it, and you know, this is up to
<br />the Planning Director at this point whether, whether he’s convinced or not that, you know to--.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Commissioners, any further questions for the Applicant. Thank you.
<br />
<br />SHROPSHIRE: Thank you.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Okay, we have some public testimony for today. Could we have Susan Forbes in
<br />this first chair here. In the next chair Richard Toledo, Calvin Motoda, and David Longacre.
<br />
<br />LONGACRE (from audience): Longacre.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Longacre. Okay, you’ll each have 3 minutes for your testimony, yeah? Could
<br />you please all raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now
<br />before the Hawai‛i County Planning Commission?
<br />
<br />FORBES/TOLEDO/MOTODA/LONGACRE: I do.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Okay, could you please state your name and residence before you testify?
<br />
<br />FORBES: Hi, I’m Susan Forbes. I live in Hakalau in Hakalau Plantation Village at 29-2283 Old
<br />Māmalahoa Highway. I would mention that Hakalau Plantation Village is a subdivision created
<br />by Mr. Shropshire, and it’s a great place to live. My husband and I decided to try to capture the
<br />sense of community and gratitude in Hakalau by creating a website. I know this sound like a
<br />commercial but I’ll get to a point. It’s www.hakalauhome.com. For us, Hakalau includes all the
<br />land that was formerly part of the Hakalau Plantation which goes from the 20-mile marker in
<br />Nīnole to Kolekole. With this website, what we’re trying to do is to provide a source of
<br />information for former, current, and potential residents that captures the, the specialness of the
<br />place, both historically and all of the cultural activities that go on. You know, where we live, we
<br />have CC&R’s that call for plantation style homes, too, but it’s hard to know what is a plantation
<br />style home, so on this website within a couple of days, there will be pictures of all of the
<br />10
