BOWMAN: I have a question. And maybe, Maija, if we could, could we put the slide on that shows the site, so I have a visual -? IÓm a very visual person. Okay. So basically, you walk from the Kawaihae Canoe Club beach -. ARAKAKI: ThatÓs correct. BOWMAN: Up, and -. Thank you. Just so I get a visual -. ARAKAKI: Okay, so we entered through here and walked along -. There is a path that goes through here, which I actually walked on as well in 2002. So we walked kind of like inside this area and came this way right along the edge here. BOWMAN: Okay, and thatÓs where the boulders are. ARAKAKI: And the boulders are all down here. BOWMAN: Okay, because I, werenÓt a bunch of boulders pushed down that way a while ago to prevent people from going down? I guess itÓs more mauka. ARAKAKI: IÓm not sure about that. BOWMAN: All right, thank you for the visual. ARAKAKI: YouÓre welcome. HOUSEL: I want to clarify. Is there evidence of the trail through this property? ARAKAKI: There is a footpath that goes through the property. And obviously, you know, this area was highly populated in both, more in ancient times than historic times. So obviously, there had to have been a shoreline trail. The ones that appear on the maps basically follow the alignment of Akoni-Pule. And of course, what we are looking at, though, is a system of trails that goes throughout the property. We also found one trail that went up mauka where the driveway comes down, and it appears to continue going up mauka. And again, we would need to do more research, being that we came on very late into this proc HOUSEL: Looking at the proposed development, does any of the buildings cover the trail that you see? ARAKAKI: Well, I canÓt, itÓs hard to tell, hard to tell, because itÓs all about scales and, you know -. HOUSEL: Okay. Just so IÓm clear, looking at this photo, it looks like the north end is very rocky -. ARAKAKI: Correct. 12 EXHIBIT A
