happening again in the future. Not only is the roadway narrow, it is also winding and the visibility is exceptionally limited. Therefore, we would ask and require that, for our support, is that all access to this road be permanently prohibit were ever to be zoned to Ag-1. It simply cannot support that and it would require taking of land, condemnation, to be able to make it support that. We w subdivision be only required to have its access at the top, that itÓd be prohibited from accessing the lower road in there. I also have one other comment in regards to and that I have addressed in my letter to you, and that is in regards to the infrastructure developments on the local area and the impact. I do believe that is the responsibility of the County, the light that should be up at Hinalani should be the responsibility of the County. Now it maybe you can con the State into paying for it, thatÓs fine with me. But itÓs your planning, itÓs your, itÓs the way you want to see that community develop. You know that there have been two deaths within the last year at that intersection and there will be more, not to mention the frequent accidents on a regular occurrence in there. And I believe thatÓs pretty much all I have to say here. I appreciate your coming to Kona to address these concerns that we have and I hope we can work through something on this. Thank you. GALDONES:Thank you, Mr. Goodale. Commissioners, any questions of Mr. Goodale? Commissioner McCall? MCCALL:Yeah, just a couple of comments and questions. The Depar of Water Supply has requested that fire hydrants be put in every 600 feet in the subdivision. I would assume that does not include Kohanaiki Road, but perhaps something could be put fairly close. But I see somewhat of a, you were asking that the subdivision put in fire hydrants for your use on Kohanaiki Road. At the same time, it seems like you use Kohanaiki Road, which seems somewhat unfair. GOODALE:I would say that the use of fire hydrants is for the communityÓs benefit, including the subdivisionÓs benefit. Fires travel over area, they get started in one place and they transit elsewhere. ItÓs for the protection of everyone in this area that weÓre asking for this. It may also be that if the County feels somewhat responsible in cutting us off from water in the first place that they should also contribute. I would have no objection to that as well. GALDONES:Commissioner Fujikawa? FUJIKAWA:I have a question for the staff. Top of Hinalani Road, isnÓt that a State highway or the County -? HAYASHI:Hinalani Road, this is the road youÓre referring to, correct? 19
