Commission in its review of a petition for reclassification of district boundaries must at a <br />minimum make specific findings and conclusions as to identify the scope of the value, cultural, <br />historic, or natural resources, blah, blah, blah, but it goes on to say that without that, they have <br />failed to satisfy their statutory and constitutional obligations, yeah? So, I can understand their <br />concern because of the timing of the application and the response, they did not have <br />documentation at that time, yeah? Just a comment. <br />MIKKELSON: Thank you. <br />MIYASATO: Yeah, okay, that's all I have. <br />REPLOGLE: What was this land? What was done on it before you acquired it? What's its <br />history? <br />PRIMACK: Well, I purchased it. It was what I would just call raw. Raw as all get -out, and <br />when I came, the first thing was the roads and the bridges. I purchased in 2008, and my first <br />dwelling was 2012, the yurt. I started staying there with my instructors, my strongest ones, and <br />we started eradicating the waiwi off the river bank which is why you can see it on that map, the <br />river so well, because before, it, when you look from Google maps, it's just a big forest over <br />those rivers. So, we took those big waiwis out, a couple summers it took. I mean, it's a lot of <br />work, and we're still working on, you know, making the river banks nicer and getting rid of the <br />invasive trees, and that's gotta be done by hand. Machines can't even do that stuff, so it's a lot <br />of work, yeah. <br />REPLOGLE: Okay, thank you. <br />PRIMACK: Yeah. <br />CLARKSON: So, the vegetation was non-native species? Waiwi <br />PRIMACK: Waiwi— <br />CLARKSON: —and eucalyptus? <br />PRIMACK: Yeah. <br />CLARKSON: Was it ever in cane to your knowledge? <br />PRIMACK: Long ago I was told it was a sugar cane plantation at one time, but it's been a long <br />time. <br />CLARKSON: Thank you. Let's see where we are on my script here. If there being no further <br />questions, thank you. You may be seated. And, we have no, no one signed up to testify from the <br />public, so in that case I'll ask for a motion that public testimony be closed. <br />MIYASATO: I make a motion that public testimony be closed. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />10 <br />
