ROSS: Mr. Chairman? <br />RAY: The next 16 months, and you're going to have ample opportunity to, you <br />know, to have input -. <br />ROSS: I understand. <br />RAY: To this committee. <br />ROSS: I won't have a chance to be here each and every time and I don't plan <br />to. <br />RAY: Okay. <br />ROSS: But I want to point to your Item No. 8, New Business. You're going to <br />speak about goals and objectives, and that is why I have some suggestions, because you're <br />going to speak about it in ten minutes. So if you put it on your agenda, and I was very careful <br />looking at the agenda before I put this down, otherwise I thought, oh, let them swim, you <br />know, they'll learn to swim. But I want to point out a couple of things that are of real <br />importance that you may not come up with by asking around and so on. <br />I would like to see, for instance, and it's just a suggestion, to have something in the charter <br />about shoreline setback. The Council has just seen fit to reduce it from 50 -foot to 30 -foot. <br />On Maui, which is much smaller than this Island, it is 300 -foot. It is a very important thing. <br />Of course, the shoreline setback varies here and there, but within limits it should be more than <br />50 -foot that we had in it, and certainly more than the 30 that the County Council wants to put <br />in it. <br />HERKES: So is that a definite recommendation that you're making? <br />ROSS: I would like to see 200 -foot, basically. <br />HERKES: Is that what you -? <br />ROSS: Where it's possible. <br />HERKES: Is that your recommendation, 200 feet? Because I'm taking the minutes <br />for this meeting. <br />ROSS: <br />HERKES: <br />Yes. <br />And I want to know if that's what you want me to put in there. <br />18 <br />
