they’re got to move it, or if it burns down and has to be replaced, in which case they have to conform with the setbacks. Or if Mr. Tuttle had been coming in and doing a subdivision and he was selling off the other lots and this was then going to be set aside as a roadway lot that was owned by everybody, then there might be a need to get rid of the encroachment. But I can assure you that there are other properties on the island that have similar situations; and we basically treat them as nonconforming and deal with them if and when either the building has to be renovated, or torn down, or rebuilt, or if there’s something else that happens in the encroachment area that requires that the building be torn down or moved. It’s odd, it doesn’t make sense. But the problem is, is that a lot of these things are, back in the 1930s people weren’t paying attention to where things were. And if a property owner owned all the land, then he didn’t care whether he was straddling lot lines or he was straddling the road because he was the only guy coming in on the road. And if I’ve got the house correctly this is quite a beautiful older home with some beautiful, I think it’s like some lava rock features on the main residence, then I was there in the 1960s and it really is a beautiful old home; and it’s kind a neat ambiance. It’s rustic with the old structures there. And then if, and I really don’t see a need to put some kind of condition that he tear down the carport when he owns all of the land around this area and the people coming in, or coming in on basically even though it’s designated as a road it’s pretty much like private driveway. But he is aware that if something happens to that structure he would have to reconstruct it within, taking into account the setbacks. WOODWARD: Commissioner Iwashita? IWASHITA: Just out of curiosity, Mr. Tuttle, do you know who built the house originally. TUTTLE: James Johnston, he sold it in 1941 to Hawaiian Dredging. WOODWARD: Oh, that’s the owner, okay. Who was the contractor? TUTTLE: I don’t know. LEITHEAD TODD: You’re thinking your father? IWASHITA: No, my grandfather. LEITHEAD TODD: Your grandfather. It’s a beautiful home. WOODWARD: Okay. Commissioner Kern. KERN: I’m ready to make a motion. WOODWARD: Okay. If you’d have a sit, sir. Thank you very much. Okay, Commissioner Kern. 15 EXHIBIT D
