our personal time to review all of that. But it is what it is. So, staff, if you, maybe you can meet <br />with Mrs. McMichael after the hearing and explain, or give her better understanding of the process <br />and where she can go to get information on what’s been agendized or what’s upcoming, and then <br />how to process through a petition for standing, you know, just provide her with the assistance. <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />SHIMAOKA: Mr. Chair, I just had a question, just for my own clarification. Does the applicant <br />call the Planning Department to either cancel or confirm that they are going to be here? <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Yes. <br /> <br />SHIMAOKA: Okay. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Mrs. McMichael, do you have any further discussion? <br /> <br />MCMICHAEL: I guess, should I read everything that I was going to do? I mean, I’m here. <br /> <br />BEAUDET: Yeah, I mean, now is the time to testify, so if you wish to testify for the record, then <br />now is your time. <br /> <br />MCMICHAEL: Okay. Okay. Here is a short summary of why it should not be built. <br /> <br />No respect. The chiefs should be left rest in peace. Building concrete condos without full <br />archaeological survey. Documentary research of 1929 to 1930, Ahupua‘a of Kahalu‘u probably <br />had the greatest number of archaeology sites to be found anywhere on the island. Kahalu‘u <br />Ahupua‘a has legendary association with chiefly Kamehameha I and III, occupation estimated to <br />date from early A.D. 1600’s. The dense concentration of heiau and large elite residence in and <br />around coastal Kahalu‘u are attributed to the presence of various ruling chiefs. A number of ali‘i <br />are associated historically and lived in the Kahalu‘u area. Kalani‘ōpu‘u, ruler 1760 to 1782, lived <br />in the region of Kahalu‘u and Keauhou. Kamehameha I and his retinue stayed periods of them at <br />Kahalu‘u and repaired several area heiau. Ke‘eaumoku Pāpa‘iahiahi was awarded Kahalu‘u and <br />Keauhou after Kamehameha I united the Hawaiian Islands. His daughter Queen Ka‘ahumanu and <br />his son Governor John Adams Ki‘iapalaoku Kuakini were born in Kahalu‘u. Kauikeaouli <br />Kamehameha III was born in Kahalu‘u. King David Kalākaua had a residence along Po‘o Hawai‘i <br />Pond. Kahalu‘u Ahupua‘a was granted to Victoria Kamāmalu during the Mahele as Land <br />Commission Award 7713:6, Royal Patent 6856. LCA 7713 was 5,443 acres. This parcel is within <br />Kahalu‘u Historic District. The land owner is KIC, Kamehameha Investment Corporation. The <br />survey was done 2004, received by DLNR October 25, 2010. There was delayed review by the <br />DLNR, February 24, 2012. Limited testing, noted by DLNR, because the report had significantly <br />passed the allotted review period, we will not request any revision to draft. This plan meets the <br />requirement of HAR 13-278-3 and accepted by SHPD. Portions of the many sites are obscured by <br />dense vegetation, and several features were only partially mapped because dense vegetation <br />covered an obscure potential lava tube entrance and ubiquitous mounds and modified outcrops <br />were not identified. These conditions indicate that potential to encounter undocumented features <br />is high within the parcel inland of the Kuakini Wall. Several features were interpreted as historic <br />and some sites contain traditional Hawaiian features that are continued to be used in the historic <br />3 <br />EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
