Communication No. 548 is a letter from Chief Engineer Donna Fay K. Kiyosaki, dated October 15, 1997, transmitting the above resolution, by memorandum and maps mazked Exhibit "B" and "C" respectively, from the Planning Director that recommended the abandonment of the subject remnant. Public Works investigated the matter and concurs with the recommendations from the Planning Department. However, because the remnant does not have a legal right-of= way to describe its presence, it submitted Resolution No. 174 that abandons and quitclaims the road remnant to the State of Hawaii. For information, the road remnant has no public value except as access to the property leased to the Kalapana Ohana Association. By abandoning any interest the County may have had in the road, the Association would be free to use the road and develop the property as they see fit. Your Committee is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 174 and recommends its adoption. la AYES NOES A&E EX Respectfully submitted YAGONG X COM~ITTEL' ON PUBLIC WORKS & PARKS REYNOLDS X \ CHUNG X LEITHEAD-TODD X `'~_~+`^r'-- RAY X DOMINIC YAGON , SANTANGELO X PW&PC REPO T 74 SMITH x DEC 0 3 1997 ARAKAKI E.O.
