YUEN:So, well, have you worked with, have you verified whether itÓd be possible to have, to plant sufficient trees and shrubs on this property to accomplish shielding of the proposed structures from Keakealawahine complex? BLECK:It seems like itÓs a better question for the landscape architect. IÓve used wili wiliÓs a number of times on my own property a couple o you know, an effective screen, quite tall and thick. YUEN:Turning to the question of the height of the buildings and I guess returning to this question, I just want to establish all the heights on the record. Your, you have a triplex in the front, thatÓs one story with a basement? BLECK:ItÓs two stories because none of the perimeter walls of the triplex touch grade. YUEN:All right. What is the top, and the finish grade would be about 20 feet above sea level? BLECK:Yes. YUEN:Uh huh. And what would be the height of the building to the peak of the roof? BLECK:Well, weÓre using a metal roof on this so a very low-pitched roof. We donÓt have it on the plan; but just guessing, it looks three or four feet to the ridges. We can have a pitched roof -. YUEN:IÓm trying to establish what is eventually going to be the height of the front buildings above sea level, and then the height of the back buildings above sea level. And where IÓm going with this, IÓm not trying to do any kind of backing you into something, IÓm trying to figure out what -. I take it that your goal was to provide views for the back buildings over the front buildings? BLECK:Yes. YUEN:Okay. And what IÓm trying to figure out is how high the ba buildings have to be to do that. BLECK:Well, actually, looking back to the model, the lower levels of some of these back units, especially this one, a little bit this one -. YUEN:Could you tell us which one this one is so that itÓs clear on the record? BLECK:The most northerly duplex. 23
