subdivision but the upper half ranges from 20 to 21 feet in roadway. At the bottom, when
<br />you go from Kulana Kea into Wainaku Street Road, if youÓre makin
<br />down Kulana Kea Drive and you make a right-hand turn, two cars barely fit on that tight
<br />turn. You donÓt have a good map there but they barely fit on that tight turn. And if you
<br />make a right-hand turn, youÓll have to go across the centerline into the Wainaku Street
<br />before you can get back towards Hilo, heading towards Dodo Mortuary. So I donÓt
<br />know, and then thereÓs that bank, itÓs a blind turn. You need to get out into the roadway
<br />to see on-coming traffic, both directions. And if youÓre at the stop sign heading towards
<br />Wainaku Street from Kulana Kea and thereÓs a guy making a left-hand turn from
<br />Wainaku Street, two cars ainÓt going to fit. So thatÓs part of my concern.
<br />As youÓre driving up Kulana Kea Drive, around Pole 7, thereÓs, on the right side is the
<br />Pole 7. YouÓre coming up there, itÓs a blind turn. And the opposite, if you look at the six
<br />lots that theyÓre trying to approve, thereÓs a sharp turn. If youÓre coming downhill, I saw
<br />two cars didnÓt make that turn, just went straight off that roadway into an adjacent
<br />property. ThereÓs no signs, no safety measure, no nothing. Of course, itÓs private road.
<br />Now I donÓt know if thereÓs anything thatÓs going to be done about it but the road is a bad
<br />problem. I think we should take that into some consideration Òcause whatÓs going to
<br />happen is maybe I want to subdivide, too. But this place is in
<br />corrected from day one. They want to make 30-40 lots, thatÓs fine. I want to make a 100,
<br />too.
<br />Now the waterline size, from my understanding, Brewer didnÓt make it. The water was
<br />undersized, the main trunk line, Òcause they couldnÓt get the fire hydrants. Maybe IÓm
<br />wrong but the trunk line, itÓs not designed properly so we donÓt have sufficient water; and
<br />we can look into that.
<br />So thatÓs pretty much my concerns, I mean, are these water conditions taken care of, is
<br />the road condition taken care of? ÒCause I know when they were going to do that big
<br />subdivision, they were going to realign that road, thatÓs my understanding. I did some
<br />work with Willie Tallett, heÓs with C. Brewer. He also owns the adjoining property, right
<br />across the ones that are being, he owns two lots right there. And with all that, cost was
<br />going to be, I guess, too expensive at the time for the money they would make on the lots
<br />to justify the cost.
<br />GALDONES:Mr. Cardoza, can you go up to the map and show us where
<br />road problem is that you were talking about?
<br />CARDOZA:You donÓt have a full-detailed road on that, but -.
<br />GALDONES:Jeff, give him the mike, please?
<br />CARDOZA:If youÓre coming down this road -. Okay, I live right about here.
<br />ThereÓs a water tank right on this lower corner, right here. So youÓre coming down here,
<br />this turn right here is a sharp turn. If you donÓt make this turn, you go into this adjoining
<br />lot, right here. Right around here is Pole 7. If youÓre coming uphill and youÓre not being
<br />7
