Heading: Young's Hearsay Claims are Immaterial

Text: As previously stated, the Commission pointed to the Coastal Management Plan and the Ad Hoc Committee Report in order to show that the commercial tour boating industry in the Hanalei SMA, generally, and therefore Young's tour boat operation, specifically, had changed the intensity of use of water and land within the SMA, Young, who did not attempt to refute any of the facts presented in the reports, maintains that both reports constitute inadmissible hearsay and were improperly considered by the circuit court. However, because the discussion in section V.A.1, supra, illustrates that the record is sufficient, without reliance upon either report, to establish that Young's tour boat operation constitutes a development, it is unnecessary for us to address this contention.
