HIATT: Thanks very much, Rodney. With respect to each blowup, is each lot numbered so that we know the number of lots at issue in that camp? KUBOTA: Yes, the photo shows that the lots were numbered 1 through 19, corresponding with each of the camp houses that were in existence at the time. HIATT: Okay. And what's the date of the photo`? KUBOTA: The date of the photo is August 19, 1950. HIATT: Okay. So for Kainole camp, what you're seeking from the Planning Department is recognition of those 19pre-existing lots? KUBOTA: Correct. HIATT: Okay. So any doubt that those were in existence and were occupied prior to 1944? KUBOTA: No, there's no doubt. In the Record of Appeal, if the Board would want to leaf through it, we did other research and contacted residents and got affidavits that the camps were in existence prior to that date. Also we submitted, I believe, insurance valuation photos. And in some camps situations, we've submitted census records which show that as of June 30, 1944, there were these nwnber of camp houses in existence. HIATT: Now that's already in evidence, so I'll move on. What does Exhibit 3A show? KUBOTA: Exhibit 3A is a similar aerial photo taken the same date, August 19, 1950. This is a photo of Maukaloa camp which is on, located just makai of Kaupakuea Homesteads and above Richard Ha's banana operation. This is about, 1 would say, about a mile up from the highway in Pepeekeo. HIATT: And, again, are the lots numbered on 3A? KUBOTA: Yes, the lots are numbered 1 through 52. HIATT: Okay. And each one of those were also occupied prior to 1944? KUBOTA: Correct. Again, the record on appeal shows the evidence that we submitted to the County that established the existence as of 1944. HIATT: Okay. And then Exhibit 4A, can you tell us what that shows, please? 8
