LIM: That was always the intention. The golf course is still on the table, but we recognize that that would be pushed back to a later stage in the development pretty early on. And so that’s why the applicant took the step of trying to move forward with the improvements, and then we are just pending the SHPD approval. So it’s still their intention to voluntarily do that. And that’s why we would resist changes in the conditions or changes in the process. We think that the process is lined up pretty clearly that we just need SHPD approval, and then once that happens, then we are willing to follow through with our commitment to open the public access. Like I said, the critical part is the cultural buffers, making sure that all this is managed, because people won’t be able to just drive down to the shoreline; they’ll have to go and receive cultural briefings by Aunty Lei before they even step foot on the property. Thank you. UNGER: Great, okay, thank you. CARR SMITH: And then to the north of the interpretive center, is there a – I know the cliff becomes pretty high there and treacherous – so, is there a trail along the cliff going north? LIM: Yes, there is a shoreline trail like many areas in Kona, and so people often come from either the south or the north in through, fronting the project. We try to, we try to brief people when they come onto the property, but it’s not that often. UNGER: Any other questions? Thank you, Applicants. Great, so, the floor is open for a motion. CARR SMITH: I’d like to move that a favorable recommendation be forwarded to the County Council to accept the Project District Ordinance No. 99 42’s updated status report. KALOHA: I’ll second. UNGER: We have a motion by Commissioner Carr Smith, second by Commissioner Kealoha. Roll call, or discussion, sorry. In executive session the Commission decided to clarify two parts: To approve the update, which was presented by the applicants, and so that’s the motion that’s on the table now; then the second motion will be to talk about the extension and conditions associated to those extension. So, first order of business. KAY: Okay, thank you, Mr. Chair. Just a — UNGER: Hold on one second. Commissioner Carr Smith, are you -? Okay. Yeah, roll call. KAY: My apologies. Just so we are accepting the overall status report as required by Condition BB. UNGER: Correct. KAY: Okay. Okay, thank you. Commissioner Carr Smith? CARR SMITH: Aye. 19 EXHIBIT C
