Now, if alternatively, so thatÓs why from the ownerÓs standpoint, the ApplicantÓs standpoint, the proposed roadway that, the north roadway could easily be shifted further mauka, then eventually, and provide some measure of access to Mr. HaÓs property, provided that I think the County finds in its wisdom that, you know, that connection would probably be best if it ultimately hooks up with what they call as ÐLalei Street.Ñ You know, Òcause Lalei Street right now is an adjoining subdivision and itÓs just like a road stub. If you were to extend Lalei Street through the intermediate property and then get to the subject property, then itÓs possible that you could have access to Lalei Street via whatÓs being proposed now, or having it further mauka and then possibly accommodating Mr. HaÓs concern. But the long and short of it is like, you know, you already have a condition and thatÓs something that ultimately, based upon more specific design consideration, taking into consideration like topography so on and so forth, that the Department of Public Works and Planning Department would evaluate and then ultimately make a decision. FUJIKAWA:Okay. Any questions from the Commissioners to Mr. FukeÓs statement? Go ahead, Commissioner Springer? SPRINGER:With regard to the Alanui Kauila, surely it predates any and all of the subdivisions and lots that are on either Figures 2 or 3; and, obviously, there has been some modification of that feature. In your report or the archaeologistÓs report that youÓve attached to the application, I donÓt see any discussion of it except in the narrative. And IÓm wondering if, as a government road, if the government has any claims or has quit any claim to it on the subject property? FUKE:Perhaps the Planning Director being an attorney can respond to that again. But, you know, we have some information that shows, like relative to this parcel of land, what the government did was when they subdivided that whole area into these homestead lots, the government had then reserved a 20-foot wide right-of-way for the Alanui Kauila, I guess, Road, as shown in the plan. So it was a road reserve but the land is still owned by the respective property owner. Government just kind of reserved the portion so in the event that they wanted to have the road then theyÓd be in a position to, I guess, exercise that. But the fee owner of the basic property was, the way I read it, still fell under the existing property owner, which is Mr. Malian. SPRINGER:And then, so then theyÓre not so much claiming the physical treadway of that Alanui Kauila but rather that there is an accessway across the property? FUKE:Correct. And so in the design of the subdivision, we kind of wanted to maintain the spirit of this north-south connection, and thatÓs why like the roadway as proposed pretty much follow that alignment. And it shifted a little bit makai just to accommodate some of the topographic constraints. 9
