LASITER:You can have em. YUEN:Lets do that. And well just put on a transmittal that this is a statement by a concerned citizen that we received at our hearing. And its an existing issue that is there whether or not this application goes forward. He brought it to this body. I mean you know the Planning Commission here is not an operational entity thats responsible for cleaning out ditches or maintaining dry wells. I dont like to shun you know send people from one agency to another so I think what we could do is simply send this with a transmittal and say that this is a concerned citizens input at our hearing and hope that, ask them to see what they can do about it. Im perturbed that the dry wells were covered over. That should not have happened, I dont know. LASITER:Actually the dry wells are there but they cant handle the velocity of water and all these drainage ditches. Ive lived there all these years and whats happened beforewhenitrainedheavytheyfilleduptothemax.Thewaterstillcameintotheroad. And we still had a hard time with some cars getting over. Its history, its gone. The infrastructure to catch that water is history. That lot here has blue flags on it. Its sold, its being cleared right now. And I want to say 1 thing to the Inaba family. A couple of years ago Jason your house got broken into the one up there the old one. I seen those kids come across, they came up from your property and they went up here and I was in my yard and I seen them. When the cops came I gave them a full description. I know those kids and theyre gone, theyre history. Okay. You see Im not against this but, and when the County says they havent done a darn thing about this, its not going to hurt, its not going to help anybody. Lets think about the future. And thats all Im here for cause I want to go drink beer and go in the swimming pool, Im late. SPRINGER:Thank you Mr. Lasiter. Mr. Yuen I wonder if just in that transmittal letter it could indicated that Mr. Lasiters testimony amplifies the previous testimony of Ms. Frias and Mr. Matsumoto also? YUEN:Well do that. If we would mention in his testimony, which I think is the most explicit as far as what the problems are that we had two other people testify about issues in the subdivision. SPRINGER:And I guess my last question with regard to issues raised by the testifiers with regard to emergency access and emergency access vehicles particularly being able to get into the subject property in times of big rain or bad weather is there anything that we should know about that Mr. Yuen? YUEN:As far as whats before us here were at a-, were considering a rezoning that would allow 8 lots versus 1 now. So were talking about 7 additional lots. To me if the problem is that the access into the subdivision, the current Hoonani Residential Subdivision is blocked at high rainfall/flood type conditions, it would be much better to fix that than to say that a adjacent 7 lot subdivision or 8 lot subdivision has to develop a road to provide a second route out for the people in the existing subdivision.
