believe this is in Eden Roc. As you can see, it runs alongside the subdivision, but if you
<br /> come down here, it pinches the census block and then it carries over to maybe the other
<br /> side of the subdivision and may not be in the same subdivision. So, that was an area of
<br /> concern I saw. Chair, I can go through many of these, but a lot of them are, I've kind of
<br /> gathered based upon their size, and the kind of oddities that they have within them. For
<br /> example, this one that pinches this community, and this neighborhood, it surrounds and
<br /> encapsulates another census block down here. And some are a little bit different like that.
<br /> Some very clear in that sort of regards. Some other ones that I saw across the Saddle
<br /> Road actually covered across both sides of the Saddle Road. So, while this may have
<br /> been the Old Saddle Road up Kaumana Drive, it actually goes across the new highway on
<br /> both sides. There's over six hundred eighty (680)residents in that area. And it's unclear
<br /> if they live in this area, or they live along the highway. For clarity's sake, there's some
<br /> issues I saw, and it just causes some difficulty in drawing lines. That was really my
<br /> impetus. The other one over here was one we came across, this one census block. A lot of
<br /> this probably follows the ravines, and gulches, up mauka, up along the slopes of Mauna
<br /> Kea. But this one comes from Honoli`i, all the way down above Wailuku area. We
<br /> noticed that that was a tricky thing. What I can do to make it easy is to share this with
<br /> everyone, so you can see it. But a lot of these are—Some of the big ones are an issue, I
<br /> would imagine. Maybe there are no residents in these areas, but they cut across many
<br /> different communities along the coastlines and so forth. Some of them are just huge
<br /> blocks that make it very difficult to find district boundaries. For example, this one along
<br /> `Akoni Pule Higway. It goes all the way up from the outskirts of Haw!town, almost all
<br /> the way down to Kawaihae Village. Any sort of problems in the future would be there.
<br /> These on the Saddle Road. These would be simple changes. They cut across both sides of
<br /> Saddle Road, but with Saddle Road being a clear potential boundary lines for districts,
<br /> these should be recalculated and redrawn. The other one I noticed, this one was above
<br /> Pu`u Anahulu area, but it goes up the slopes of Hualalai here. But all the residents live
<br /> down here. Along the highway in that area, in the residential area and yet, this whole
<br /> block shows a hundred and nine (109)people. What do they live way up here? I doubt it.
<br /> They live way down here. So, this block needs to be redrawn. And of course, one that, I
<br /> think we're facing, are these blocks along Kaiminani. Fifteen hundred(1,500)residents
<br /> in here, but they're all living mainly along down these subdivisions along Kaiminani.
<br /> They're not living out here. So, that's an issue and then also Kalaoa. Most of the
<br /> residents—There are different residential groups here. People live in Kalaoa, but there are
<br /> also people living along Kaloko. This should be a divided block, in my opinion. To really
<br /> be clear and have a clear breaking point between distinct subdivisions. So, that was some
<br /> of the other, some of the issues I saw. That there were multiple subdivisions within some
<br /> of these blocks. I'll kind of leave it there. If you give me a moment, I can share it with
<br /> everyone here. But I welcome any sort of thought or feedback where I can look at any
<br /> particular ones. We can definitely add any to this list. And we can make this a document
<br /> that we share and work on together. Thanks, Chair.
<br /> KOSSOW: Thank you, Mr. Hustace. Mr. Lopez?
<br /> LOPEZ: I want to applaud Mr. Hustace for the work he's done, the extra effort he did to
<br /> bring this forth. I think it's been mentioned in the previous Commission as well, but I
