UNGER: In regard to the K to K Parkway, I notice the State Department Historic Preservation,
<br />or your archaeologist, identified two burial sites on the actual right-of-way. The State Historic
<br />Preservation Department recommended that, before any construction started, that buffers be
<br />delineated and your construction crew be educated. The fact that these are burials here, kind of
<br />slip through the cracks, there might be another condition here. I didn’t, I saw it in the
<br />background report, I didn’t see any conditions with the County, but that would be an important
<br />thing before any construction to start to at least, unless it is, unless it already is delineated where
<br />those burials are on the K to K Parkway.
<br />
<br />DEWEESE: We have conditions from the State Historic Preservation Division in their approval
<br />letters that require all of the buffers and construction, you know, preventative techniques that are
<br />required, and they’ve had extensive archaeology reports —
<br />
<br />UNGER: Yeah, I saw that.
<br />
<br />DEWEESE: — all throughout this area.
<br />
<br />UNGER: Got it. Okay.
<br />
<br />CARR SMITH: I have a question on the topic. On Item 20 in the, your request under Historic
<br />and Archaeological Resources, it says that there were 13 sites examined and that four had
<br />previously, “four previously recorded sites that have subsequently been destroyed.” Do you
<br />know, can you explain that, please? I don’t know whether that was during your ownership or
<br />prior.
<br />
<br />LIM: I don’t know right off the top of my head. We have SHPD approval for the archaeological
<br />inventory survey, preservation plan and burial treatment plan, so it’s covered in one of those, but
<br />I don’t have the specific reference.
<br />
<br />UNGER: Any other questions? Very good, thank you. You may be seated.
<br />
<br />We’d like to go ahead and open this up to public testimony now. I think Mr. Lim made an
<br />important comment; we are here to focus on an SMA permit. The SMA permit is, our kuleana is
<br />to, is oversight for all SMA permits with developments within the SMA zone from shoreline
<br />back anywhere from three to four to 500 feet, and our focus technically is, and our responsibility
<br />is, any development in these SMA areas, what is the effect on the coastline, is there
<br />encroachment, is there flooding, is there, that really is the specific. Often times when these
<br />applications come forward, members of the public absolutely focus on traffic, as we should be,
<br />and in addition to our kuleana as SMA, we also are the community sounding board, we also have
<br />our traffic concerns, but I think it’s important to keep in mind specific to this project and this
<br />SMA permit; we are looking at what this development will do specifically to the shoreline,
<br />certainly if traffic in addition to other things affect the shoreline, that’s where, that’s where our
<br />concern is. So I think it’s important clarification.
<br />
<br />We could have two people come up at a time. Rod Rieger and – or we can do four – Rod Rieger,
<br />Kihaena – I think I pronounced that wrong – Morgan, Abel Lui and Simmy McMichael, if you
