SIRACUSA:No. SPRINGER:Other Commissioners? If there are no additional questions or comments for the Applicants representative, Id like to invite Mr. Mooers to step back and invite our two testifiers, Mr. Gimpel and Ms. Kjos, to come forward. Ms. Kjos, if you could please give us your name and your address for the record and then offer your testimony. KJOS:My name is Ellen, the name is pronounced Chose (phonetically). SPRINGER:Chose (phonetically), Im sorry. Maam, if you could use the microphone. KJOS:Okay,mynameisEllen.ThelastnameisChose(phonetically), like youre sneezing. I reside at 78-6703B, Alii Drive. My property is that little jog, you know, right -. DARROW:Here? KJOS:No, come down, come down. Right there. SPRINGER:The testifier has indicated the location of her property on the exhibit map. KJOS:Some of the questions that you ask earlier, I can answer. The sewer stops at Saint Peters Catholic Church. I called, whatever his name is, and told him that if Steve was interested in putting in a new sewer, that I would go in with him and dig the trench, because you have to hookup to the Keauhou system. So, years ago, I got a quote of $20,000. Thats kind of prohibitive for one person. But if anybody that lives up in there, we are all on either septic or sewer, not sewer but septic or cesspool. If everybody went together, it would be very economical, and we could hook up to Keauhou. His representative told me that there was no need. I have some pictures here. My main concern is the driveway and parking. This man has parking for four cars. He, himself, has two. These are his two cars, right there. This is his driveway, which he has allowed to deteriorate to a gully. It runs down, it has undermine the apron that was placed there before I ever bought in 1997. It was placed there to stop the erosion. It has undermined that. It has gone all the way down. And every time it rains hard, I go down and I scoop dirt and refuse from the Alii Drive. The City also has a payloader that comes. It is actually going over down into the park, cause its all paved now, all goes down over. Im sure you got this. It shows he has four parking spots. With three units, hes going to have six or seven cars, which means theyre going to be parking blocking the driveway, theyre going to be parking in my land, in the neighbors land. Besides theres no yard 7
