SPRINGER:But, again, you have no objections, if topography and other constraints permitted, to accommodate Mr. HaÓs needs? FUKE:No. SPRINGER:Thanks. FUKE:Again, that would be, you know, the call of the Planning Department and the Public Works Department. FUJIKAWA:Any other questions from the Commissioners? SPRINGER:Not right now, thanks. FUJIKAWA:Not right now. We have a testifier, Curtis Tyler. You have been sworn in. You may proceed. TYLER:Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Good afternoon, ladies and gentl Thank you very much for the opportunity. I wasnÓt planning to testify on this. But IÓm very pleased that Mr. Ha is here and taking the time to come from Oahu to share his concerns, because it brings right to forefront and to the table a pending matter that has been pending since 1997 -- A resolution that was drafted by me a by the HawaiÒi County Council, for the HawaiÒi County Planning Department to develop a roadway circulation plan in the Greater Kalaoa area. The community has been meeting monthly or every other month now since 1997, and we have no resolution to this. And this is perfect example, and if youÓll refer to your, to the DirectorÓs recommendations and, in particular, Exhibit A, youÓll begin to see that in some cases there is some reason to the rhyme and in other cases there will never be any reason to the rhyme because the roads will not be able to connect. I think itÓs incumbent upon the Planning Department and the Plan through them, to determine what happened to the Alanui Kauila. Commissioner Springer asked the question, well, what is that. And I have a copy of the deed, Schedule B Exceptions, that Mr. Fuke provided to me regarding that. And it says, No. 3, ÐReserving a 20-foot right-of-way for ÒAlanui Kauila as shown in planÓ as set forth in the Land Pattern Grant Nos. 3819 and 3820-B.Ñ And I think as Commissioner Springer knows, and some of you who have lived here for a long period of time, t actually is an extension of the Kohanaiki Road, I believe, and it goes all the way down to Kiholo, passing below Kukuiohiwai, Commissioner SpringerÓs residence. It has become disconnected for reasons unknown, well, for specific reasons unknown to me. And the same is true for the homestead road which runs mauka-makai, and Kona Acres, Phase 3. But if one looks along Kona Acres, Phase 3, one finds the homestead continuing on the same alignment. 10
