HENDERSON: Is the term habitable unit used anywhere in Section 21-31? <br />NAKATANI: No, sir. <br />HENDERSON: Isn't it true that it is only in Section 21-31 where the Department is given the <br />authority to charge single family residences a sewer user fee? <br />NAKATANI: I'm not sure if it's the only part of the Hawai‘i County Code that states that. <br />HENDERSON: That the County can charge us a sewer user fee. You think it might be in the <br />building code? <br /> <br />NAKATANI: That’s the only location. <br />HENDERSON: Okay. Isn't it true that in Section 21-31, the term unoccupied unit is referring to <br />various structures listed earlier in that section? <br /> <br />NAKATANI: That would be my interpretation. Yes. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: Ms. Nakatani, isn't it true that in Section 21-31, there was no mention of a <br />detached storage, accessory room, laundry area, or bath as one of the structures? <br />NAKATANI: You're correct. It doesn't state that. <br />HENDERSON: Ms. Nakatani, based on the language of Section 21-31 and your inspection of the <br />property, do you agree that the inspector was in error when charging two sewer user fees to <br />the single family residence at 75-5944 Ali‘i Drive as set in 1998? <br /> <br />NAKATANI: I'm sorry, I can't agree with your statement. I would have to say at that time there <br />were two units. Reading this document and my experience in the wastewater division, I would <br />say there were two units at that time. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: You were saying that there were two single family residences located on the <br />property? <br /> <br />NAKATANI: There were two. Yes, two units. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: Two single-family residences? <br /> <br />NAKATANI: Yes, sir. <br /> <br />HENDERSON: Complete with kitchen, cooking facilities, dining area, et cetera. Okay. Ms. <br />Nakatani, do you agree that the sewer division, by charging the property of 75-5944 Ali‘i Drive <br />20 <br /> <br /> <br />
