MEAD: So, so I think here one of the things, you know, the trigger for that EIS is largely gonna <br /> be the use of State or County lands or use of State or County funds, right? So, the use of the <br /> State lands in this case would trigger an Environmental Assessment, be it an EA, be it an EIS, <br /> right? And anyone can come in and propose use on State lands and do an EA. The County in <br /> this case actually, probably, I'm assuming could be the Land Board even would be depending on <br /> the because it would be, it's kind of a lot of State lands, could be the accepting authority on a <br /> EA or EIS, right, I think the Governor's the accepting authority on EIS on State lands. The <br /> County for Planning would probably be the accepting authority on EA or EIS for our lands. But <br /> I think anyone can do—can propose a use, we would say that the trigger—you've hit a trigger for <br /> an EA and EIS, satisfy that requirement and then that document goes through the, through that <br /> process. That's kind of my understanding because I know we've had situations in where a <br /> private developer was also using —trying—proposing a use that encumbers a portion of a State <br /> property like a highway right of way. And they do the EA and the body will accept it but the <br /> trigger there was a use of State lands and they satisfied the Environmental Assessment <br /> requirement. <br /> GADDIS: So any (inaudible) via non-profit or something like that could do the same as long as <br /> it triggered <br /> CHASE: I think it's also—probably depends on whether you're doing an EA for environmental <br /> review for the whole, a whole plan or whether it's a project proponent doing it for something <br /> that's already part of a redevelopment plan already entitled <br /> GADDIS: Yeah, that was my question; was more generally speaking, not project specific. It <br /> would be more—something in alignment with this but more for the whole peninsula. <br /> ARAI: So Chair Case, for individual lessees on Banyan Drive, if they were to propose a specific <br /> use on a specific parcel of land, the obligation to self-finance and develop the EIS is on the <br /> lessee andright, and the Board will simply accept the EIS as in compliance. <br /> CASE: Yep. <br /> ARAI: They'll be the accepting authority? Okay. So yeah, so there's two different ways, which <br /> occurs now, which is parcel specific but if it's something that's under the initiative of something <br /> broader like what the Agency is mandated to then there may be opportunities, it's just that we <br /> have to be careful and have it accepted as a donation. <br /> DELIMA: Okay so going back to the General Plan review process, you have any further <br /> comments? <br /> GADDIS: No. <br /> DELIMA: Okay so, I want to highlight a couple of things. First of all I think it's important for <br /> the General Plan review to understand the metamorphosis of our agency conceptual plan, and <br /> I'm sure it's all within your records, but initially the proposal was to have those condominiums <br /> that are, as you face the map on the right-hand side it would be the Country Club, the I forgot, <br /> Reeds Bay, and there's the one—Bay View. Okay so that was going to be proposed as open <br /> Page 7 of 10 <br /> Banyan Drive Hawaii Redevelopment Agency <br /> November 29,2017 Minutes <br />
