i i I 10 acres to our park, it would reduce the need for, our park was admitted to be useful for 10 acres, but this would allow additional land if the county wanted to implement a more regional park at Palamanui. That's just background on that park. On the road coming down, yes, we have provided for the road to be built in the future, but way off in the future, which gives us time to get even. COLON: Yeah, he's talking about Makalei, he's talking about the Makalei connection— i HARRIS: Makalei Drive is a location of the waterline and the access to Makalei Estates Subdivision, and so, that is just as is, and as Mr. Van Pernis mentioned, it's a private road, and at some—there are some emergency uses that could go through there, but beyond the waterline improvements, we have no— COLON: We can't because we don't own— 3 HARRIS: —we can't agree, we can't work on that road; it's a private road. I CARR SMITH: Okay. Mr. Van Pernis. I 3 VAN PERNIS: Yes. I am quite knowledgeable about the Makalei roads. It's private, gated top and bottom. There is no waterline easement under it; the waterline easement is to the north. And there is no possibility in my opinion of connecting that road up to Mamalahoa with the Palamanui's road, and that is because first of all there is going to be another connector road, and secondly, Makalei Drive is substandard with upgrades to beg, and even more importantly, if they were going to condemn, the county or somebody, if they were going to condemn the private Makalei road into a public road, they had to pay huge damages to the people on that road, and that's not going to happen. Since this application was originally approved and subsequently amended, that road has been deeded in fee simple to the association, so it's off the table as far as the county and the Palamanui is concerned. CARR SMITH: Applicant, is that the way you see it? I HARRIS: No, we have no further comment, except to note that the waterline and the future reservoirs are, are constructed in that subdivision, so there will be some future maintenance and I work required there. CARR SMITH: And you have the easements in place for that? HARRIS: Yes. CARR SMITH: Okay, very good. My personal opinion about the park, having been a part of the park builders group in Waimea, the Waimea District Park, and knowing how the budget doesn't always, it's not always able to fund the maintenance that's required for Parks and Rec with all the parks we do have, I personally think that the way it's written is acceptable, that it should be provided to the county at no cost, and that whatever needs there are at the time that it's 30 DRAFT
