264, then if the State has not included the road on its highway system, then by Statute it becomes <br />a County responsibility. <br />Another way of approaching this would be to approach, or would be to deal with this application <br />with the assumption that it may turn out to be a County road and build in some safeguards. <br />SPRINGER:Such as -? <br />TORIGOE:Well, thats what Im trying to think about right now, what would be a <br />safeguard would perhaps to require the applicant to research the matter and provide a legal <br />opinion of some kind from their counsel for the Corporation Counsels Office to review and <br />make recommendations to the Department of Public Works regarding the matter. <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Yuen, youve heard the discussion so far. Do you have any comments <br />onit? <br />YUEN:Iwouldproceedundertheassumptionthatthisis,LeopolinoRoadisa <br />County road.

So we have, the applicants representatives would like to <br />make some comments. Please proceed, starting with Mr. Neel. <br />NEEL:Immediately to the right of the blue line on the right side is a 3-acre parcel <br />that has at the State Highway there a Helco power station. Youre familiar with that. That has a <br />parcel number of 55. That was part of the grant that connected with the rest of the garden. <br />When that road was put in there, that road cut off that grant and made a separate parcel. Would a <br />private road do that or only a government road? <br />SPRINGER:Mr. Yuen or Mr. Torigoe? <br />SIRACUSA:I -. <br />SPRINGER:Just a moment, Commissioner Siracusa. <br />19EXHIBIT C <br /> <br />
