SMITH: Thank you. So that alleviates some of the traffic; La‘aloa has helped quite a bit because, Kam III they used to go up there, now they have two ways in going up – thank you, excuse me. Like I said, I ride my bike for the last 30 years, two hours a day, two hours a night, on Ali‘i Drive, and if there is something wrong, I call the police or I call the County. They know me very well here at the County. If a tree comes down or there is people on drugs or anything that’s going to affect the neighborhood, I’m concerned. So, yes, I’m concerned with the traffic. SHIMAOKA: Thank you. UNGER: Mr. Smith, can you update us on the archaeology work? As I read through the documents, I saw that the Recovery Plan had been submitted in 2005, but I didn’t see if it was approved. Do you know if it was approved? SMITH: Yes – excuse me – yes, it has been approved. And one of the stipulations is before any work, any work is done at all, we have to have an archaeologist on the site and monitor anything that’s being done on the site. UNGER: Okay, and I saw there are two burials on the site. I went through the burial treatment plan, and that’s been approved and in place. SMITH: Yes. UNGER: That’s located in the buffer zone from Ali‘i Drive to the first lots. SMITH: Yes. The whole front of Ali‘i Drive is preserved. There is no development on the front side of Ali‘i Drive; everything is on the backside of the property. UNGER: And what is the status of your correspondence with SHPD in regards to the metes and bounds and the location of the Judd Trail? Where are you in that process? SMITH: I’ve had a lot of people concerned with the Judd Trail, along with the Judd Family. And we, they come, usually people come by about every three or four, five years and want to know what’s going on, and I show them where it is. And there really hasn’t been anything done because, you know, the people that come by and my families, the Judd, that we talk about this, nobody really has stepped forward to do anything. I told all the Judd people that have been there and some of the State people that I’m in agreement to do what they want to do. But it’s like it hasn’t been a priority for anybody, and it seems like it’s coming out now because of this hearing. And I’m in agreement to what everybody has recommended and I’ve talked to the Judds, so I don’t see a problem there. It’s, there was a problem with the location; no one knew where it was. And I think they’ve come up with the location now. It’s a, because they have tried to walk it, because it meanders up from Ali‘i Highway, from Ali‘i Drive to the highway, it kind of meanders up, and so really no one has really researched that out. But where it situated on this property, it’s pretty well distinguished where it is from what I understand. UNGER: Okay, because like it was mentioned in the staff report, we did get considerable testimony from the public in regards to the concern about the Judd Trail, about not developing 15 EXHIBIT B
