they did change that; and the stated reason by the Council member was that they're just <br />going to drive and not walk so -. <br />FUJIKAWA:I see. <br />YUEN:That was, that's what happened. <br />FUJIKAWA:Wouldn't this be almost the same? <br />YUEN:Well, this is clearly an area -. I think the only question here is <br />` <br />whether we continue to have the grassy strip on the Kinoole Street sidewalk. Clearly, <br />this is an area that as it develops into Commercial we want sidewalks so that people can <br />walk along, walk around the area. And there's, the sidewalk is already in place on <br />` <br />Kinoole Street. The new sidewalk we're talking about is on Lanihuli Street, actually <br />the frontage of their property, and they don't have any objection to that; and even if <br />they did, the Department would still be recommending certainly the Lanihuli Street <br />sidewalk improvements. <br />FUJIKAWA:So I have another question for you. <br />YUEN:Yeah. <br />FUJIKAWA:So if the County is going to make it all sidewalks, how are you <br />going to address the fire hydrant? People will be walking into the hydrant if you're <br />going to replace the lawn area with sidewalk. <br />YUEN:That's a good point. I'd have to say I personally like the grass <br />better. <br />FUJIKAWA:Maybe the Council -. <br />YUEN:Who maintains the grass? Can I ask the Applicant a couple <br />questions? <br />FUJIKAWA:Council can consider that. <br />YUEN:Who maintains the grassy strip now? Is it Public Works comes <br />and maintains that? <br />MOORE:You know, I believe the -, well, generally, and I believe it's in <br />the Code, is that the landowner is responsible to maintain that, the grass strip. The <br />Applicant is willing, I mean we talked about it, is willing to maintain that. But I <br />believe that that is part of the County Code that they have to maintain it. <br />7 <br /> <br />
