SPRINGER:While I commend the ApplicantÓs representative and the Director for the initiative on this, itÓs just that the trail isnÓt contained only on this property. So the issue of the trail, whether as an access-way or historic site, presumably continues beyond the boundaries of this property; and we may hear of it again and take it up under other applications. And I noticed that State Historic Preservation Division signed off that no historic sites would be impacted by this undertaking, and there hasnÓt been a discussion of the trail as a historic site. But does this record, the record of this proceeding then constitute that discussion of the trail as a historic site? FUJIKAWA:Okay, any other? KUBOTA:ThatÓs a question she posed. YUEN:Let me make a suggestion. Maye we can do this on the staff If we would write a letter to the Na Ala Hele Program asking them, enclosing Ms. InabaÓs letter in that, and asking them for a letter we believe this is would look into why it was removed from the tax maps and possibly re-enter it on the tax maps. At this point, to figure out the legal status of a trail like this is a, it can be a major undertaking and require abstracting. We donÓt have it, the staff to do that in the Planning Department. Na Ala Hele Program has somebody assigned to do tha do that or not, I donÓt know. But thatÓs really, I think, the best thing to do right now. If itÓs erroneously, the problem is that once itÓs removed from the tax -, people tend to rely on the tax maps, they, for all kinds of information. And, so, w removed from the tax maps -. Although it may be on an early tax the drawer, itÓs not a new tax map, people gradually forget and you lose any indication that this is, there is a trail here. So, there may have been a good reason, there may have been, it may have been purchased out. Something else like that might have happened. But I think this is the best way to investigate this, and see whether it should be re-entered onto the tax maps. SPRINGER:Thank you. FUJIKAWA:Very good. Any other question from the Commission? KUBOTA:I had a question -. FUJIKAWA:Commissioner Kubota. KUBOTA:That I wanted to ask. So the status of Condition L stands for this application only, is that my understanding? YUEN:Yes. We canÓt, without knowing what the legal rights are, I canÓt say they should keep it -. KUBOTA:Yes, I understand. 10
