FUKE: —because— DEFRANCO: because you are not allowed. FUKE: something that has to be available 24/7. DEFRANCO: To the public. ROY: I could speak to a little bit about that. DEFRANCO: Okay. ROY: I did a timeline kind of going back through, and starting in 1987 was the first time the landowner requested, you know, some kind of measure of control, and throughout the years the Planning Department and the Mayor's Office in fact reiterated that, and I'll just read some excerpts. Here is a good one from September of 2000 from the Mayor's Office, "vehicles parked in the area should not be towed away nor should patrons parking in those stalls be required to pay." This is based on the condition, so, that was everybody's interpretation of the condition over and over again up until 2017. Deputy Director Darrow wrote again, again, you know, the parking stall should not be chained off, developed, and that, without coming back for an amendment. So, the County reiterated again and again over the past 30 years that the condition stands, and the only way to kind of change that would be to come back to where we are today. So, it really wasn't the fault of the landowner; it was the County kind of reiterating that stance through official correspondence that, yep, condition is unfettered free parking for the public. DEFRANCO: Thank you. And so, one more question too just so I understand: The actual parking lot, it sort of connects to a different road, right? This, isn't it sort of a connector that you can drive through and get back to Ali`i Drive ROY: Maybe we've got a map. DEFRANCO: up to Kuakini. FUKE: I think that road is called Hanama Place. DEFRANCO: Yeah, Hanama Place, right, but then VITOUSEK: And then on the back side Sarona Road. DEFRANCO: Sorry, what? ROY: Sarona Road. VITOUSEK: It connects to Sarona Road on the backside 8 EXHIBIT A
