PRIMACK: Correct.
<br />MIYASATO: Yeah, so that's how it's going to be set up?
<br />PRIMACK: That's what we're planning now, yes.
<br />MIYASATO: Okay, I just was curious that the guy in the last bungalow is going to get a bad
<br />deal at night, but—okay. And, then I guess I was just kind of curious about the timeline. You
<br />know, with this letter from the LUC and the reply to the LUC, and you know, I guess in regards
<br />to that, there was sort of an insinuation that you're circumventing the process by staying at 15
<br />and, you know, for my opinion, it's a conscious decision to go to 15, but it's also a conscious
<br />smart business decision, in my opinion. You know, if you don't need more than that, why go
<br />through the process, so, you know, I think it's coincidence that it's less than 15 but I think it's a
<br />smart business decision for this type of activity. You know, and I guess with that said, there has
<br />been on this island down by the quarries where there were large lands like this, that you probably
<br />know that they applied for rezonings 14.9, 14.75, and that is abuse of, you know, circumventing
<br />the LUC. So, I can understand their concern.
<br />And, my last comment is just, on the cultural side, it is the obligation of the LUC to ensure that
<br />natural, on the cultural side, the historic preservation side, is documented and covered and I
<br />guess in writing or verified that there is no disturbance of cultural resources or sites. I don't
<br />think they were picking on you, but by law, it is their obligation to ensure that.
<br />PRIMACK: Right, right.
<br />MIKKELSON: So, also in the process of this which the LUC did not know or understand is that
<br />he is also, as I mentioned, working with the USDA to do reforestation. He does not want those
<br />two things to intermix.
<br />MIYASATO: Correct.
<br />MIKKELSON: He doesn't want people tramping through the forest.
<br />MIYASATO: Right.
<br />MIKKELSON: So, that was part of the agreement to begin with is what he wanted to do which
<br />is why we did the survey and whatever, but, you know, the LUC took a hardline I felt, and I
<br />wanted them to have an understanding of what the idea was really planned to be.
<br />MIYASATO: You know, I guess, for me, you know, with the LUC, it is case note and law,
<br />yeah?
<br />MIKKELSON: Right, right, right.
<br />MIYASATO: That, if thein order, case notes, in order to fulfil its duty to preserve and protect
<br />customary and traditional Native Hawaiian rights to the extent feasible, the Land Use
