your Corporation Counsel here; and if you have legal questions, you'll have to direct them to him because I'm not qualified to give you any legal advice. But I would be very careful about trying to circumvent, not maliciously or otherwise, the Code. I would agree that it seems a little onerous for one additional lot to put in a 100,000-gallon reservoir. But I am not an engineer; and I, as we all know, the Department of Water Supply is a semi-autonomous organization, and I have no say so over them whatsoever. But I would just, I would ask you to exercise caution. The other thing is because this is within 1,000 feet of the well they will have to make certain arrangements. Cesspools and septic tanks aren't allowed. There's no County wastewater system there. You might want to inquire as to what they're going to do. I'm not aware of what other option there might be, short of putting it in a tank and shipping it out of there. The, I read the archaeological inventory survey report. And I would note that there is at least, I believe, one iwi `aina or kuawi wall, which is an ahupua`a wall. If it is, I would ask the applicant, Mr. Dusel, to please respect the importance and the historicity of that wall because it, in fact, delineates all -, and sets up our entire real property tax system. And if those walls are demolished -. And I note in the Background Report that there is no indication from SHPD that the walls are to be preserved, and I think that's entirely unfortunate. DUSEL:We will preserve them. TYLER:Mr. Dusel says they're going to be preserved. So I just note that, for the record. Because whenever I see they don't have to be preserved, it means they can be destroyed. And so thank you, Mr. Dusel. Mr. Chairman, I jus comments here. Of course, the 15-foot widening easement on the homestead road, if, in fact, the road was widened, would destroy the wall; and so I'm hoping we don't have any plans for that in the immediate future. I don't think there are. The, let's see. I just want to be sure that everyone recognizes that's a public roadway and it will not be gated. And also, in that regard, Mr. Chairman and Members of the Commission, in the past, some of you have heard, and those of us on the Council have heard and heard frequently, ÐWell, you know, they allowed this subdivision to go in, but we have this terrible road, and we want the County to improve the road.Ñ And I'm not saying that's going to be the case here. I know there have been some improvements to this road in the lower section, but this has always been a problem for the administration. And that's one of the reasons they are cautious about the condition of the road and the fact that it's what they call a road in limbo. So I hope there's no expectation that at some point in time we will be petitioned to resurface this roadway, especially in light of just the small impact here. I didn't hear any, and I don't, you know, I 18
