PEAR, the Hawaiian Acres Road, may provide access to the site, if the community, if the Hawaiian Community Association asked for standing in a contested case hearing, I said that in my view they would have, they should be given standing in a contested case hearing, although this would, the decision on this would be up to the Planning Commission. The second part of the sentence where he quotes me is not accura did not say that the owners of the Hawaiian Acres road lot need to be given notice. This is a different question. IÓm not sure whether the road lot comes with, first of all, whether the road lot itself comes within 500 feet of the surrounding property. However, even if it did, itÓs my understanding that the road lot is owned in common by the 4,000 or so lot owners of Hawaiian Acres. In those circumstances, the Planning Department has not required notice to multiple owners in the subdivisions where there are thousands or hundreds of owners of road lots even when the Special Permit application or Use Permit application adjoins, actually adjoins the road lot. We havenÓt required that notice be given to all owners of the road lot. We have required notice when you have a road lot thatÓs owned by a few people being served by the road. So I need to clarify that as a point. I did not talk to them about whether notice would be required to the owners of the road lot. JACOBSON:If I could make one quick statement. Thank you for tha clarification. And even at the time of the letter I questioned that we shouldnÓt be putting your views in here. However, the Board members felt strongly that that was, and I tried, you know, was accurate according to our president. So, I actually, if I had my preference would have left out statements from you to that regard. But, thank you very much. FUJIKAWA:Okay, great. Any other questions, Commissioners, to the testifier or the Planning Director? If not, are there any other people in the audience who would want to testify on this particular application who have not yet signed in? If not, thank you, Julie. Go ahead, you may testify. You want to state your FULKS:Yes, my name is Ole Fulks and I live in Orchidland Subdivision, lot adjoining the proposed development, actually, two lots above Jim Bunten, who testified earlier. I also own a lot in Ainaloa and I own a house in Hawaiian Acres. As has already been said, Hawaiian Acres lot owners own the roadways in common. So I essentially am an owner of the Hawaiian Acres portion of the PEAR or the Puna Community Access Road. I have a document here dated September 26, 2003 to the Planning Yuen from the developers, Ainaloa Development Corporation. Under Justification of Request on page 6, thereÓs, this is letter b., Infrastructure and Community Development or Community Benefits Request, 1, Adequacy of Infrastructure. Second paragraph reads, ÐRelative to Ainaloa Boulevard, the County recently improved this road to provide a connection to the Hawaiian Acres Subdivision and beyond. While portions of this road may still not comport to current County dedicable standards, it 20-plus feet with 4-foot grassed shoulders. This level of improvement is generally 13
