LESTER:Yes. <br />FUJIKAWA:You want to state your name and your address? <br />LESTER:My name is Mary Lester, and I live up at Wood Valley. <br />FUJIKAWA:Okay, you may proceed. <br />LESTER:First of all, I was kind of curious as to how the public was informed about <br />this meeting, Òcause I just learned about it myself last night. I think thereÓd be quite a few more <br />people here from the Pahala community if we were a little more i <br />thatÓs just a statement there. <br />And then I wanted to ask you guys also when you said that youÓre <br />people, what is affordable and how much are you thinking about charging for your lots or per <br />acre? <br />A.HESTER:ThatÓs a difficult question right now because weÓre just in the process of <br />putting in the infrastructure and then weÓve got nearly, we got $400,000 in just a hole in the <br />ground. We donÓt have the pumps in, we donÓt have the boosters, we donÓt have the storage <br />there; and then weÓve got to lay the lines to provide the water, water availability to all the lots. <br />And until thatÓs done, itÓs almost impossible to determine what itÓs going to be. <br />FUJIKAWA:Okay, thank you. ThereÓs the other question. Staff, do you have an <br />answer to that? <br />HAYASHI:Yes. As far as the hearing notice, that was published in the newspaper, <br />both the West Hawaii Today and the Hawaii Tribune Herald. The applicant also was responsible <br />for notifying surrounding property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. So I would <br />assume that if you live in Wood Valley, that would be beyond that 500-foot distance. <br />FUJIKAWA:Does that answer your question? <br />LESTER:Yes. I do have a couple other questions here. Course, you know, being in <br />Wood Valley, a concern with us always has been roads and road maintenance and, of course <br />water. And it sounds like youÓre answering the water issue, but my concern is your road issues. <br />And then weÓve had several fires out there so road conditions, and how you plan on maintaining <br />the roads, and possibly fire hydrants? <br />FUJIKAWA:Mr. Fuke? <br />FUKE:Sure. Like specifically in relation to the access, the access, as the staff <br />pointed out, like they have multiple accesses but then their primary access would be come off <br />Huapala Road, which is like, you know, the extension of Huapala Road, which is a paved road <br />11 <br /> <br />
