doing that. And if they’re going towards Hilo and decide that they’ll take their chances with the light then, you know, that may happen or if they see, you know, a backup at the light. WATANABE: Yeah, I’m conjecturing on a reasonable person. WALTER: Well, if only we all were. WATANABE: Yes, Mr. Woodward. WOODWARD: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well, again, we get back to the same point. You’ve got a 20-foot road, you’ve got a 40-foot easement, nobody has to buy anything. That’s the easement. And if, in fact, they have rights for access then that easement should be included. So what are we talking about having to buy 10 feet on either side? Where does that come from? WALTER: Okay, let me point out two things. In the first place, the supposed access is not on his title. So whether or not he has access is also in question. That has not been resolved. The second is the reason I’m saying you have to buy 10 feet on either side is I’m saying that if you go with this zoning then certainly one would expect that he should bring this road up to what would be the County’s standard. The County’s standard is 60 feet, not 40 feet. So you’d have to buy an additional 20 feet, however you chop that up to get that roadway up to the County standard. That’s wherein the 20 feet comes from. Is that clear? WATANABE: Okay. It’s clear. And what I was pointing out is that if the County so desired they could indicate that, you know, you will have only one access from this property, it’ll be 200 feet from the intersection, and I don’t care how you get the 60 but find it. You see what I’m saying? So what I’m implying is if it’s a corner lot we wouldn’t require someone on a corner lot to improve a 10-mile road. WALTER: Yeah, neither did we. WATANABE: Yeah. WALTER: Neither did we. WATANABE: And so that’s all I am implying. It’s workable, you know. But nevertheless we -. Ms. Bowman, it looks like you have a question. BOWMAN: Yes. I have for quite a while. I’m a little confused. If we look at the map provided by M&E Pacific, and maybe I’m backwards, but it does not match the zoning map. And my concern is because I have questions about the traffic study and, now I lost my page. Ulupono is the light blue on this map? Could you help me staff? WALTER: That’s accurate. BOWMAN: Okay. But according to the map I have, we have in our background, the project is like on the other side of the road. Could somebody help me please. WALTER: You want me to point out what you’ve got here on the left? EXHIBIT A 20
