HOUSEL: Commissioner Giffin. <br />GIFFIN: Mr. Chairman, I’d like to ask Mr. Mooers a question. Would your landscape plan then go <br />from where the pepper trees are currently planted, which is I think right by that curve? <br />MOOERS: Yeah, it’s from here to here. <br />GIFFIN: Yeah. Would it continue down? <br />MOOERS: No. <br />GIFFIN: Okay, so it would end where the pepper trees are -. <br />MOOERS: It would end where they are now. The concern is if you go down here, they are really <br />not going to do anything because there is quite a bank that comes up here; so you can plant a 20- <br />foot high tree and it’s really not going to block much. And the other concern from DOT is that once <br />you get past this point, if you start planting a lot of things here, you obstruct the view of a very -. <br />GIFFIN: Vision -. <br />MOOERS: Corner here. So as you are coming down Kawaihae Road, if you’ve got a tree line <br />blocking here, it’s blocking your view of the corner; if somebody stalled right behind the curve <br />here, you are not going to be able to see it. <br />GIFFIN: Okay, so your landscape plan, if I’m assuming correctly -. <br />MOOERS: It will be from here to here -. <br />GIFFIN: Is the existing -. <br />MOOERS: There’re ironwood trees along the back here. I think there was some mention about the <br />amount of land, the seven-tenth of an acre seem like a lot for a mom and pop; if you take the <br />driveway out, which runs through here, and the 20-foot wide tree line that comes through here, and <br />the parking area in front of the house, there is a very small area to construct gates. They don’t need <br />a large area to construct gates. But the biggest area really is the area on the front where they have to <br />park the vehicles. <br />GIFFIN: So your landscape plan that you are going to propose is to maintain the existing -? <br />MOOERS: And to have some additional, but that -. <br />GIFFIN: Okay, where would the adding be? <br />MOOERS: There would be some additional in here and probably some additional up in here. And <br />then we basically want confirmation from the Planning Department that the pepper trees that were <br />planted here that are two years old and now about eight feet high, at least eight feet high from the <br />inside of the property, is that, you know, we are on the same page; we don’t want to plant <br />something and find out the Planning Department doesn’t think that’s doing the job. So that’s why <br />13 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
