HOUSEL: Does that connect with Kahakai Road? DARROW: ItÓs right there. ThatÓs right, I mean itÓs not in the middle of the road, I mean itÓs in the middle of Stardust, but it appears to be -. I donÓt know how that happened; unfortunately, itÓs there on the ground. HOUSEL: Did I read in here that the intent is not to connect Stardust with Kahakai Road? DARROW: Well, Department of Public Works actually had stated in their memo Î letÓs pull that up real fast, I believe it was Exhibit 6, no, IÓm sorry, 5, letÓs see Î No. 2 on the second page, they are saying, ÐVehicular access from Stardust Lane to future Kahului to Keauhou Parkway È is under consideration.Ñ So they are considering it. HOUSEL: So they may. Okay, but currently itÓs not planned. DARROW: Well, at this time the only thing thatÓs there is Kahakai School Access Road, which provides access from Royal Poinciana to Kahakai Elementary School. That does connect. So itÓs connected right now. So thatÓs, youÓll notice that you have received a letter from Debera First, and her main concern is the traffic along this road, and people are instead of going on, you know, coming from Royal Poinciana, to avoid the bumps Î IÓm sorry, IÓm going all over the place there Î to avoid the bumps, they are coming up Stardust Lane and going into there, so that they donÓt have to go over the speed bumps that are placed on Royal Poinciana; so she was asking if something could be done in regards to that. HOUSEL: I understand that. Right. If thatÓs a public road and there is no intended access at least for now, and there is also a pole in the middle of the road, I mean that seems like a problem to me. DARROW: Yeah, but at this time, again, Department of Public Works identifies these roads as private. HOUSEL: What is Department of Public WorksÓ recommendation on this? Do they want to change this, or just -? DARROW: In regards to -? HOUSEL: Well, as far as whether or not it should be, there should be public access to it. DARROW: I did speak with Ki. He asked to apologize; unfortunately, he is under the weather today. But we did speak briefly about this problem with these roads being private, and itÓs something that they are looking into right now. Apparently, it was based on a court decision in 1914, so they are trying to see what that court decision actually said in regards to the ownership of these roads and if the County is liable for improvements or upkeep or even safety improvements to these roads. So Debera First, who was the lady who submitted this, has a meeting with Warren Lee on Tuesday to discuss this matter. 5 EXHIBIT B
