FUJIKAWA:Okay, thank you very much. We have one more person dow there who raised their hand. Are you here to testify? MEADOWS:Yes, I am. FUJIKAWA:Will you kindly raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth on this matter now before the HawaiÒi Planning Commission? MEADOWS:Yes, I do. FUJIKAWA:Will you state your name and your address. MEADOWS:Leo Meadows, 77-6529 Seaview Circle. NOMURA:Microphone, please. FUJIKAWA:You may proceed. MEADOWS:IÓm sorry I was a little late on coming in. I had to fi anybody does here in town. One of the considerations that I donÓt know whether it has been properly addressed is the drainage of this property into the road easement, or lack of it there. Currently, any time it rains heavily, like in the last couple of weeks, thereÓs a stream that forms on the Kailua town side of Seaview Circle that runs down hill. IÓm at the bottom of the hill. That stream, depending on how many cars thereÓs trash in it, if thereÓs somebody trailer parked there, somebody has loaded in a load of sand to do work on their yard, if the County hasnÓt come out and trimmed the weeds back, whatever, the stream will be diverted onto one of the othe somebodyÓs yard or house. Being at the bottom of the circle I get it more frequently than anybody else. There is no drainage out of that stream, except do Circle, out into the vacant lot which may or may not be continue other projects. The easement on the entrance of Seaview Circle now when it rains, this is on the right- hand side as youÓre going down into the Circle, you have a stream there that constantly erodes out and dumps gravel into the street, along with the subdivision on the other side. Supposedly on the other side they were supposed to put in drainage where that couldnÓt happen. As it is now, after every heavy rain, 2, 3, 4, 5 days later the County has to come out with their road sweeper and backhoe, depending on how much gravel, and haul out a half yard of gravel. ItÓs now at the bottom of the intersection there. That is also a problem for the person in front of the Seaview Circle. He has a large rock in front of his house that stops the cars from running into, which it occasionally does. But the buses, school buses, in order to make the grade on Seaview Circle, when theyÓre full coming out in the morning, they wait at the bottom for the light to change, and then they make a run at the light, you know. So any traffic problem that this will create, by parking on the side parking there at the corner, is definitely going to have a massive effect on it. 12
