SPRINGER:I just have one more question in the vein that we€ve been following. <br />Shouldthe road widening occur on the subject property, is there a risk that the existing utility <br />poles would become free standing and sort of isolated in the right of way? Looking at the <br />pictures that were circulated I know that there are other examples of where that occurs and that <br />creates another safety problem in itself. <br />YUEN:Well, I think they€d have to move them. I mean, if it€s going to be part of <br />the traveled way you can€t leave the pole there. You€re talking about the 3 lane widening that€s <br />discussed as a potential- I think, Ki you can correct me, but typically if they€re in the way, they <br />have to move them. And often that is a big part of the expense of doing something like that <br />right. <br />SPRINGER:So just for my clarification the utility poles will be moved from the <br />positions they are in, in the photographs that were circulated to us. <br />YUEN:I€m not sure what photographs you€re talking about. If you€re talking <br />about,thereisapoletotheleft,that€stothesouthside-thatone.Yeah,Ican€ttellyouwhether <br />a project- it€s, Ki it hasn€t been designed. This potential project has not even been designed yet <br />right? <br />EMLER:Correct. <br />YUEN:Okay, so I can€t tell you whether a particular pole is going to get moved in <br />connection with that. We don€t even know what side of the street it would get widened on. We <br />don€t even know if the project is going to happen. But, pole removal is often the big part of <br />these kinds of projects. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you. <br />GALDONES:Commissioners any further questions? If not, will the applicant or his <br />representative please come forward? <br />UMPHREY:Mr. Chair, I€m Jack Umphrey, representing Jack and Barbara Umphrey. <br />GALDONES:Could you speak into the microphone, we need to record your statements <br />please. <br />UMPHREY:Yes, Mr. Chairman, I€m Jack Umphrey representing Barbara and Jack <br />Umphrey. <br />GALDONES:Could you please raise your right hand so I can have you sworn in. Do <br />you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter now before the Hawaii County Planning <br />Commission? <br />UMPHREY:I do. <br />7 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
