<br />ROSSEN: Okay. <br /> <br />MEAD: ‒‒green, which is connectivity swath, not part of the redevelopment. <br /> <br />ROSSEN: Okay, great. So the heiau is definitely outside the impact area of the <br />development? <br /> <br />DELIMA: Yes, it is. <br /> <br />ROSSEN: Great. And the other thing I would say is‒‒ <br /> <br />DELIMA: See how effective you are? <br /> <br />ROSSEN: Yes. And no, I would urge you to utilize that in terms of exhibits and <br />enhancing the experience for the visitors to our city as well and enhance the cultural <br />vitalization of the area. <br /> <br />DELIMA: We’ll keep that in mind. <br /> <br />ROSSEN: Okay, okay. Thank you. <br /> <br />DELIMA: Thank you very much for coming. Thank you, all your colleagues and <br />students for coming as well. Okay, next speaker is George Lewitzki. <br /> <br />LEWITZKI: I’m George Lewitzki and I’m here representing East Hawai‘i Special <br />Olympics golf. I have in‒‒seated here I don’t know how many, guys stand up please. <br />There’s four out of approximately twenty participants that participate in the golf program, <br />which is in its tenth year. The home for this golf program is the Banyan’s Golf Course, <br />and I am thoroughly in favor of keeping the Banyan’s Golf Course in your redevelopment <br />project. I’m not saying that we don’t need more, or some kind of improvement down <br />there, but I don’t think the loss of this golf course is something that we can do with. It’s <br />an exercise area for the golfers, especially the seniors that can’t walk the Muni course. I <br />think we could do a little bit more work in cleaning up around Banyan Drive and get the <br />County to do their easement work, possibly trimming the banyan trees. I don’t think it’s <br />a good thing to do away with those because it’s a part of history, from what I can see. <br />The main thing, like I said, it’s all about Special Olympics golf. This program’s been in, <br />you know, going on for 10 years now, and this is where these guys play. So thank you <br />again. <br /> <br />DELIMA: Thank you George. Any questions? <br /> <br />TANIGUCHI: I have a question George. I have a question. <br /> <br />DELIMA: Mr. Taniguchi. <br />Page 5 of 25 <br />Banyan Drive Hawai‘i Redevelopment Agency <br />October 26, 2016, Minutes <br /> <br /> <br />
