comment, I have no way of knowing whether maybe the negotiating group and all discussed this and had their own reasons why they did it in a different way or something like that. So itÓs hard for me, kind of very late in the game, to try to base any change to what has been done on the limited knowledge I have or on one or two personsÓ testimony when it has been negotiated. So -. ROHR:Well, they have a special agreement that doesnÓt apply to the public. ItÓs not the same agreement that the public has to live under. And the Sierra Club was going to come today but they were told not to come till this afternoon because this hearing was going to be so late. IÓve gone month-after-month asking for the shoreline trail and then told by the Planning Director theyÓre working on it, theyÓre working on it. All I had to go by is this final subdivision that was approved and the easement documents that are written on that; and itÓs not complete, itÓs not a complete picture. ThereÓs not enough easements in place. And we have Christopher YuenÓs word that, oh, they will be in place. But, hey, I want to make sure that the things that I care about are in place, too, not just Pepeekeo Community Association that gets a special deal. They have a special deal, you know, the fishing people have a special deal. The Community Association can go through the gate with vehicular access. The public canÓt do that, we have to walk. Okay, so, IÓve reviewed it; and itÓs not all very clear how you park. At least make the developer put in signs so itÓs clear. That should, I mean, we have signs down in our neighborhood and the County had to pay for them. Do you think the County should have to pay for all these signs? ItÓs a very complicated system to a access for 50 years. NothingÓs changed. ItÓs just that now everybodyÓs trying to manipulate their way around gates and no trespassing signs and trails. So at least there should be signs. And you canÓt judge by the Community Association, they have a special deal. KUBOTA:Mr. Chairman? GALDONES:Ms. Kubota. KUBOTA:IÓd like to ask Corp. Counsel a question, if I may. GALDONES:You may. KUBOTA:Thank you. Ms. Rohr keeps referring to special deals that are made by the Applicant with the community association and the fishing group. Is it illegal to do that? Are they permitted to do it or is it something that is illegal? OÓTOOLE:No, itÓs not illegal. ThatÓs just between them. So what you have to focus on is what conditions you want to make for the SMA perm totally familiar but I believe there was some kind of appeal of the subdivision and then there were settlements and agreements made probably as a result of that. But -. 14
