WALTER: The County requirement as I understand it in talking to Daryn earlier is a 60-foot wide right-of-way from, in this case, 130 down to the property.The current right-of-way infrastructure is only 40 feet. WATANABE: Correct me if I’m wrong because from the previous meeting it was my impression that it’s a relatively short distance from the public highway to the subject parcel. I’m not talking about anything beyond that subject property. It was my understanding that we were talking about a very short distance from, again, the public highway to this subject parcel. I realize the subject parcel is not a corner lot. WALTER: It is a corner lot. WATANABE: Oh, it is? WALTER: It is a corner lot. WATANABE: So we’re not traversing very much from the property. WALTER: It’s about, and I can only guesstimate on this, coming from 130 on Milo it’s probably in the neighborhood of down to where the second entrance would be somewhere between a quarter and a half a mile. Going the direction of along Keaau Road and Shipman Road, it is longer and it may be somewhat in excess of half a mile. WATANABE: So conceivably if you have one access on to Milo Road then they could give the County or create an additional 20-foot easement without affecting anyone else; and obviously traffic would not head towards Hilo because they couldn’t get past that 15- or 20-foot bridge anyway. So they would go out towards -. WALTER: Well, they can get -. WATANABE: Is that correct? WALTER: No. To begin with, again, the easement is not today owned by the County of Hawaii. WATANABE: Right. WALTER: It’s a private right-of-way. WATANABE: Right. WALTER: So, I mean you could, let’s say you have, taking a middle point, 3/8 of a mile getting to one access on Milo Street, he would have to buy 10 feet on either side in rough numbers and then do whatever, improve another 10 feet on each side to bring it up to 40 feet; and that would be a wider easement. However, going across the bridges and what not, those roads are still 20 feet. People use them all the time. And so his people could come out of Milo Street, hang a right and go to those roads. I mean, there’s nothing to physically prevent them from EXHIBIT A 19
