MCGUIRE: They, yeah, I would like it back. This is what, this is what’s been going on up there. It’s just one example. This is the original map when I purchased the property. It says Department of Interior on it and everything. This is from the US Fish & Wildlife, and this goes with it. It shows that it’s one of the most—if the bats are no longer on Lot 45, that means Mr. Branco or the new owners bulldozed them which is a, which is a violation of the—it’s a violation of the Federal Endangered Species Act and a violation of the Federal Clean Water Act. And here’s—thank you, here you can have this, too. I don’t know if you guys seen this or not, my complaint. JACKSON: They’ve got a copy of that. MIYASATO: We have a copy. We have a copy of that. Thank you. MCGUIRE: And, ok, thank you. Yeah, and I feel this is a joke because I don’t mind spending $200. I don’t mind spending $200, but I believe this is a joke. As a Hawaiian, I was born before Hawaiʽi was a State, and I believe this is a violation of, of my rights. I’m a conservation farmer, and I, and I practice cultural practices. I raise native species, plants for cultural practices. To give you an example, I’m the guy that makes the 20-foot lei, 20-strand, for the King Kamehameha statute every single year for the Kamehameha Alumni Association. Only Kumu Chun and people like that know that, and I, I just feel like I’m being railroaded and that, that I have to, I lost 50 acres. I had to sell 50 acres to Stephen Branco in order to cover the cost that First Hawaiian Bank to pay for the, for the money to build the road, so now I’m going to get freeloaded on it. Verizon, a multi-billion dollar company, is going to go build a tower on my easement, and Lot 45 who originally didn’t want to participate in the road, and the University of Hawaiʽi property on the other side also has Hoary Bats in it. And it’s a nesting site for Hawaiian owls. I can prove this, but I didn’t have enough time to have the US Fish & Wildlife people come with me. So that’s—I’m sorry, I talk so much. MIYASATO: Thank you. MCGUIRE: And I have a 20-year conservation plan with all my documents from, from everything that I was made to do. MIYASATO: Thank you. You can have a seat. MCGUIRE: Okay, I’m sorry. Thank you. And I also have pictures where they covered the storm drain in front of the house, cause there’s a concrete storm drain that goes along that highway that’s been buried, yeah? MIYASATO: Could I have the applicants please come back to the table? Just as a reminder, you’re both still under oath, yeah? Would you—you have a response to the comments? FOX: Yeah, I’ll do my best, Commissioners. Okay— 5 EXHIBIT C
