stopped because the Highway Department decided after we purchased it, long after, that the
<br />highway was now a high speed Federal highway and we couldn't have a turn lane. And so,
<br />those kinds of things are enough to fight with and so I'm just concerned that when you say the
<br />CDP thing isn't really binding or anything. But, if it wasn't binding, at some point, you guys
<br />wouldn't be here doing the work. So, there's — there's a certain fear level that, okay so we make
<br />these decisions now, at what point am I going to have to change my plans in order to adopt a
<br />little? So that's it. Thank you.
<br />4. Dylan Shropshire, representing Hana Hou Hakalau, speaking on the Ha Ilau agenda item:
<br />Thank you. I think, you know we were talking about Industrial versus Ag. think it's really
<br />important for you guys to understand the differences. So, when we were — when I was back
<br />there I just, you know, cross-referenced the zoning law and so, here are some uses that you can
<br />do on Industrial that you cannot do on Agricultural land. Bakeries, breweries, wineries, alcohol
<br />manufacturing facilities, like, catering establishments, fertilizer manufacturing, food
<br />manufacturing, processing facilities, laboratories for medical research, ag research, motion
<br />picture studios, slaughter houses, (inaudible). Let's see, what else was there? Restaurants,
<br />storage of seed and wholesale distribution. So this is some uses that are provided by Industrial
<br />zoning, which by the way, less than one-tenth of 1% of our land is zoned Industrial. I think it's
<br />important to recognize that it's not all about the oil smeltering plants but there's other uses
<br />that are allowed by the zoning code through Industrial that support the people that were in this
<br />room and that's all l ask. And, the one other thing is, I think it was touched upon a few times, is
<br />that the SMA... I'm sorry for the back there... but the SMA Major process or Minor process when
<br />they look at an SMA, they're looking at the CDP, they're looking at the General Plan. They're
<br />looking at all these things so a decision th ou guys make will affect whatever happens on
<br />that property regardless of the zoning. Wil "t change what we can do in the buildings right
<br />now? Probably not. Will it be able to build a ther addition to the building? Well, maybe if it's
<br />in Open Space, they could say no. So, it does a fect it. It — it is a taking and I think you guys
<br />need to look at the laws, understand it. But, t k you again for all your time. I don't know
<br />how you guys last this long every meeting. pretty amazing. So, thank you.
<br />S. John Kaye, representing HPPA and speaking on Hakalau: The HPPA stands for the Hakalau Point
<br />Preservation Association, just so th ou know where I'm coming from. One of the things that I
<br />think is really important is — ther two things — I'm gonna be very brief to touch on, is number
<br />one, the idea of the CDP in the first place. I've read it, you've all read it and I was struck by the
<br />goals — the mission. If you read it, it says things like preserve the shoreline, discourage
<br />development along the shorelines. We came up with what I thought was a great idea and the
<br />County agreed, which was to take Hakalau Point and make a park out of it. That is what has
<br />been passed by the POMC and passed by the Council. It's a matter of money, it's a matter of
<br />negotiations. They do have their hands tied that they can only pay the appraised value of the
<br />land. But that — that is something to keep in mind. But when you read it, this is the
<br />community's attempt to say this is our interests involved. This is the public interest involved.
<br />This is what WE would like to see this island look like. This is what we would like to see the
<br />island's mission be like. And so, Hakalau Point is a gem. There's no question about it. It's a
<br />jewel. And, the second thing, so — so what I'm saying is, please before you throw out option
<br />three which was to make it all Open, try to remember as to why that decision came out in
