LIM: The design as you can see is a non-standard subdivision design; weÓll be processing a Planned Unit Development to modify the lot sizes and the roadway standards. The north-south road will be designed to be dedicable, and even though thatÓs not going to be full County standards, thatÓll be a decision thatÓs made by the Planning Director as to what is dedicable standard and what is not. So we have been working with Mr. Emler of Public Works on both the roadway and the drainage issues, and we are going to continue to work with him as we go through the process. So weÓd ask for your support. This is an infill project of the Kona CDP. And we want to see if we can get this thing entitled and hopefully get set out for hopefully the return of our real estate market. WATANABE: Okay, thank you. Any further questions? Okay, then I do have one person who signed up to testify. So you all may be seated and IÓll call up Mr. Robinson. I do need to swear you in, Mr. Robinson, so raise your right hand, please. Yes. Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth now before the Planning Commission? ROBINSON: I do. WATANABE: Thank you. And could you speak into the mike, and for your name and address. ROBINSON: Okay. My name is Rick Robinson and my address is P. O. Box 430, Kealakekua 96750. And -. Should I go ahead? WATANABE: Yes. ROBINSON: Okay.

I believe that you saw earlier the map that was on there Î if we had that map back, it may help for me to identify Mrs. JoyeÓs property. If I could point out -. WATANABE: Sure. I think she has a pointer for you. ROBINSON: Mrs. JoyeÓs property is Sugar Cane Lane, which is right here, and the subject property is right here. Mrs. Joye is in Australia. She has lived here. She had her children here. She and her husband, Ian Joye, still own property here. When their children became of age to go to school, they relocated back to Australia so that their children could go to the same school that Mr. Joye went to in Sydney. They have developed Sugar Cane Lane. They bought the property a while back. I believe itÓs 21 lots. They have not put it on the market to sell; theyÓve just developed it and let it sit. They in their development extended the street into their property with the understanding that there would be through streets connecting straight through Huallai and actually continuing on so that they will line up with the other roads in Kailua View Estates. Mrs. Joye has sent me the email and she is really concerned over this project, and had asked me to appear on her behalf today. The concern primarily deals with the access, the access into Huallai Road, that the road I believe itÓs Paulehia Î IÓm not sure of that pronunciation Î that goes into the project does not continue straight but instead kind of meanders through the property to connect with Huallai Road, which EXHIBIT A 7
