YUEN:Oh, okay. But they- apparently they’re using some other pathway to get to the beach park rather than-? COOK WALLS:Exactly. There’s no driveway across ours to his, he just comes- they- it’s like a path and I-. GALDONES:Ms. Walls. Maybe you might be able to help us if you could go to the map on the wall, maybe you might be able to show us. DARROW:Mr. Chairman. If I could direct your attention to application under Exhibit A, regional location maps. Those- one of- the first map there identifies the area a lot clearer than the location map; and you can see distinctly a roadway easement on this north side of Mr. Holmes’ property identified as TMK #41 and then also on the south side. GALDONES:Okay, any further questions? Any further comments? If not, Ms. Kjos, Mr. Dupont, Ms. Walls, you may be excused. Thank you. Mr. Mooers, are there any further comments, having heard the testifiers? MOOERS:Yeah, I’m a little confused about the discussion of the trespassing. I found it somewhat odd that Mr. Holmes does not go down the driveway to get to the beach. In asking Mr. Dupont, Mr. Holmes may be able to speak to this, is that, he indicated that there’s some affordable housing projects above that area that people who are coming down from mauka are utilizing that easement. I think certainly Mrs. Holmes is not blocking out the path behind the house. So I’m a little confused again by that. Once again, I don’t believe that’s an SMA issue that relates to whether or not these two additional kitchens should be constructed in this house. I believe Mr. Holmes can speak to the issue of the trespass. GALDONES:Mr. Holmes, if you’re going to testify could I have you sworn in please. Could you raise your right hand. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawai`i County Planning Commission? HOLMES:I do. GALDONES:Could you state your name and your residence address and you may begin your testimony. HOLMES:My name is Steve Holmes. I live at 78-6701 B as in Baker. And there is low income housing behind the property that I have, and the kids come down through from where they live up above, and there’s a path that comes right down into the east end of my property, and they just walk right down to the highway on the gravel road, as far as I can find it. Whether they’re going on the north side or not, I don’t see. The only place I ever see is going back by the back door. MOOERS:Are you going down that side? HOLMES:What’s that? 8
