Public Works may require a drainage study, and then that would be held, the drainage improvements, if necessary, would be handled. We donÓt have this as a specific condition. But the most what I would expect to see happen is that there would be a conservation plan for the property with the local soil and water conservation district as to how runoff would be handled. Is that what you plan to do? A. HESTER:Yeah, Mr. Chairman. We have been in consultation with USDA and, in fact, the Soil Conservation with regard to our existing reservoir that we have, and also in terms of where the drainage has to go. But, of course, when you have some of these moments like the rainstorm of 1,000 years, I donÓt care what you do, it isnÓt going to stop the water. FUJIKAWA:McCall? MCCALL:Yeah, just a quick question. I assume, even though these are private roads, you arenÓt planning to close any of them off or anything? Because in the Kau area we frequently, when we do have these floods, different residents from different areas like Wood Valley needs to come, drive down through Meyer Camp Road to get out when their bridges wash out, and vice versa. So -. E. HESTER:Yeah, I understand. When I first got here, it is private, and a lot of the towns people and farmers asked if I was going to close the road, Òcause there are only four people that basically have easement on the whole property; and I said no. And after the storm came, you know, everybody from Wood Valley has to come down my road cause itÓs the only roads that are available. And we plan on, well, the open road, you see Meyer Road, thatÓs a fairly good paved road. It has got some pot holes but weÓve already been in touch and we want to pave the cross road that it ties into. Course, we wonÓt go clear to Wood Valley, but our roads will be well maintained and they will always be open as long as, respect us weÓll respect them and leave it open. So, and weÓve had no problems. We have a lot of, you know, petty theft, but thatÓs everywhere, you know. FUJIKAWA:Any questions or comments, Commissioners? SPRINGER:Mr. Chair? FUJIKAWA:Springer. SPRINGER:This is for the Planning Director, with mention of the Soil and Water Conservation Service and their work, do you consult with them as youÓre considering the final application for the subdivision and the detailed site plan of the agricultural project district? FUJIKAWA:Commissioners, I mean, Director. YUEN:We do send subdivision applications to the local Soil and Water Conservation District, not necessarily the site plan, but thatÓs a good idea. And it would be a good idea to have the drainage set before the subdivision because very often to properly carry out 14
