SIRACUSA:I was speaking metaphorically. I know its not green. BLACK:I understand but it spoke to my heart. And green is the furthest color from the whole equation. So having said that -. And Mr. Graham, in your comments just now you had it kind of reversed. What you said was that it goes on to Lanikaula Street and its one property away from Kilauea. Its the opposite. The property is actually on Kilauea and its one lot away from Lanikaula. So thats just a clarification to your comments when Jeff was up there. And the other question -. Jeff, I was kind of sitting in the back. Can you show me where it goes to Kawili Street, please, on that map, as far as you were saying that the high -. Im just confused. Actually the real crux of my question is how exactly is the State Department of Agriculture Tree Nursery zoned? DARROW:As I mentioned earlier, its zoned Open. BLACK:Its zoned Open? DARROW:Correct. BLACK:Meaning it stays put, so its exempt from that?? DARROW:Its zoned, under the General Plan as well as zoning, it is designated as Open. BLACK:Okay, okay, thats a relief to us. That will stay green is what youre saying? DARROW:Yes. BLACK:Okay. My other concern is that, I dont know, and nobody seems to talk about it but, you know, were in the inundation zone. Were actually in the You Must Evacuate Zone if theres a tidal wave warning. And nobody ever mentions that or how we keep putting things in that area that make it harder to get out of that area. So that is a concern. And I realize that theres no way of actually predicting where water goes. I think we all saw that. But its just a bit of a concern. I think it was a little bit more of a concern after that last years tsunami kind of got the neighbors going. Okay. So I addressed those things. You did mention that there had been kind of a hornets nest about the rezoning issue for the Takase property. And we had banded together, and fought long and hard, and done our homework, and dotted our is, and crossed our ts, and exhausted ourselves. And it came to one minor concession, which is that they move the dumpster away from our corner and put it out on the street. I saw them building the little dumpster cage the other day, so thats a relief that the dumpsters are being moved away from our yards. We were grateful for that. All the other little concessions that were discussed with the neighbors prior to that rezoning failed to come to pass. 9EXHIBIT A
