Butthat water line is you know just a little white pvc and I dont, dont even know if theres water in it anymore. But it was in question and I just wanted to mention. GRAHAM:All right thank you. STANBRO:What that was. One of the things that in looking at this whole layout in the General Plan and seeing how the General Plan lays out that that lands up to the top of theres youre planning on having that rural and that the lands above that remaining Ag. Id just like you to know when youre looking at that if youre not familiar with the area that every farm that continues up from there, the Otas, the Kunitakes, myself, the Bertrams to an extent, Loraine Peters to an extent. Those properties are all well productive farms. I know a couple of those people their entire income is off their farm. In fact Mako Ota if you ever got green onions at KTA and who knows what else he has a truck farm right there in (inaudible) soils. And the Hawaiians did a very very good job of moving the rocks to open up areas for planting. My entire property,the2longskinnyparcelsthatareontheedgeofLanihaunumber1ahupuaa.Ivegot huge huge mango trees, kukui trees, hao trees and very very productive deep deep soil extending into Liliuokalani Trust Lands and south of me. The coffee is wild and its huge and its everywhere. So the idea that these are not that productive Ag is really silly. I mean the soil is incredible there. And so when youre looking at these other maps that are the soil county maps kind of take them with a grain of salt because the minute you move, pick up a rock and move it theres tons of soil underneath and the rock actually helps hold the moisture in. So rocks are not bad things and the Hawaiians knew that and they used them really in clever ways. On my property I have a lot of graves I have a lot of raised bedding areas. I have home sites. I have a lot of sites like what is in this in the manual here. And Im preserving them. Theyll be preserved forever. I would like to see more lands around preserved in that way. And actually talking to the developer of this property, how they plan on doing their acre and a half is selling them with as little disturbance as possible other than putting the roads in which is a breath of fresh air. Because if you happen to have a site on your acre plus land hopefully youll keep it and youll preserve it. And so if, you know if at all Id love for it to stay 5 acres. But if were looking at developing these lands doing the one plus acre sounds okay to me. But Id like to see a heavier density at the bottom. I think we have to really look at the availability to that big Crossroad Center. And walking and cycling. You know I think it would be very smart to make that a higher density at the bottom if anything and maybe a lower density at the very top maybe go up to 5 acre parcels at the top and do more density at the bottom. And with a road, the connector road that they have on there that goes over to you know that connects that theyve put into effect. I have a concern that the Salvation Army site seems to be on the largest archaeological site. And Im just would like to see them not get into hu hu later on when they go to develop that site because it is, it seems to be the most involved site. The footpath, the, I think I covered everything that I wanted to but I also have a question for the developer of where that, the description is of the sites that they do plan to keep. And I would like to suggest keeping more than just 1 or 2 sites if that can be done since were dealing with 1 plus acre parcels. GRAHAM:We can hold that question and ask that ourselves to the direct when he comes back up. Thank you Ms. Stanbro. Do we have any questions from the Commissioners? Yes Commissioner Iwashita?
