IWASHITA:Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Tyler, have you had an opportunity to review the Wes Thomas Associates’ survey map? TYLER:I have. I have it in front of me here. Mr. Lau showed it to me before the meeting and he left it here for me to refer to if I needed to. IWASHITA:Do you have any concerns about the lines drawn by Wes Thomas Associates as to the location of the Judd Trail, in particular at the mauka end of the remnant of the wall? Basically a line just jogs off to the right back to the boundary line, you know, and that’s a GIS kind of line or a GPS line; and it doesn’t seem like the way the wall would have originally been built. But do you have any concerns about any of those lines drawn on the Wes Thomas map? LAU:I drew a dashed line on the map that I showed Mr. Tyler that would coincide with that additional buffer that we had discussed earlier. So what Mr. Tyler has in front of him differs slightly from what you have because of the dash line that I drew. TYLER:May I answer the question? IWASHITA:Yes. Please. TYLER:Yes, and thank you to Mr. Lau for explaining the dash line because I was going to point out that there is a dash line, a hand written dash line that is not a surveyor’s line. As I tried to state when answering Mr. Chairman Watanabe’s question, the fact that portions of the trail were damaged, obliterated, destroyed, doesn’t mean the trail wasn’t on this property. Okay? And if anybody doubts that, they just have to go and look to the rulings, recent rulings by Judge Ibarra regarding the Hokulia case; and those issues remain, those Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Decision of Order remain intact. They were not part of the settlement, as I understand it. So what has happened so often in my short, you know, 60 years of living here, and I say short because this is going back over a thousand years, is that these kinds of things get taken away, they get destroyed on a weekend or even, you know, whatever; and nobody is here to see it. So when they say, oh, we can’t find it, the wall isn’t here -- Well, the wall was there. The wall was there because, you know, I saw it. In fact, the impact statement says that the wall was there and it was damaged. So when I talk about a 10-foot buffer from the edge of the trail, I mean from the edge of the trail that exists, not from where somebody else’s easement is on another piece of property. It’s from where the trail was. Okay? IWASHTIA:Thank you, Mr. Tyler. TYLER:You’re welcome. EXHIBIT A 19
