WATANABE:I thought it was maybe (inaudible). <br />MATSUMOTO:Oh you only have Kipahele that€s why. <br />SPRINGER:Are there any other questions for Mr. Matsumoto? Commissioner <br />Graham? <br />GRAHAM:I just had a comment on your concerns. I think one of the things we <br />always deal with when you have major highways like Mamalahoa Highway is everytime you <br />put in a new intersection it jams up the true traffic movements. So we try to avoid as much as <br />possible putting any new intersections to go into new subdivisions. So that€s one of the <br />reasons I imagine why you know we like the lateral coming in from the side. Another thing I <br />wanted to ask the Planning Director I mean just in general if they have a bad flooding <br />situation what does it take for the County to decide that€s a County issue for the benefit of the <br />peopleingeneralandtheywanttoputsomeeffortintoresolvingthefloodingsituation <br />without it being on the back of some agricultural rezoning? <br />YUEN:That€s really something in the area of the Department of Public Works. <br />I€m not sure what solutions there might be for what the people are describing. <br />GRAHAM:So maybe that would come like at budget time for something like that? <br />When budgets are made for the departments and you know one would go in and speak to <br />public works and ask them to please include some project for that area or something? <br />YUEN:Yes, if there€s a severe flooding problem in an area the Department of <br />Public Works will sometimes request a Capital Improvements Project to do something. <br />Whether it€s a drainage ditch or additional dry wells or a diversion or something like that to <br />solve the problem. But that€s how it happens. <br />GRAHAM:Okay, thanks. Did you want to have a follow-up sir? <br />MATSUMOTO:Uh, yes. Like I said I moved there in 1990, I bought my house there <br />and nothing has been done. I called the County, Department of Work, the chief engineer at <br />that time and nothing got done. I mean you can€t just-, I understand you just can€t go there <br />and start working and doing something. I don€t know what it takes but the thing floods. The <br />road floods and cars do not slow down. And we€re going to have a major catastrophe there <br />and someone€s going to be liable. All I€m saying is we gotta-. My was-, I was hoping he <br />could build his own road so whatever he does it€s not required I can€t do nothing about that. <br />But since we€re talking about this there is flooding there and I€m not saying that he€s going, <br />Mr. Inaba and the family is responsible for the flooding but we have to look at all of these <br />situations and all, and what needs to be done. And my thing is just about Mr. Inaba is just, I <br />just want him to build his own road for his subdivision. Thank you. <br />SPRINGER:Thank you Mr. Matsumoto. Mr. Director we have-, there€s a <br />requirement of one access onto the Mamalahoa Highway for the 2 front lots is it conceivable <br />that there could be an internal road on the Waimea side of the subject property that would do <br />as the testifier is suggesting? <br />EXHIBIT F <br />10 <br /> <br />
