WESLEY-SMITH: Okay, so—what, I think in the introduction they already talked about <br /> intervenor Coupe's role, so let's just skip right to what we're here for, which is the roads that are <br /> at issue. <br /> VITOUSEK: Okay. <br /> WESLEY-SMITH: So, looking back at exhibit twenty, we already discussed the bypass which is <br /> colored in yellow. Can you tell us about the Mauka Halekii extension which is in purple there? <br /> VITOUSEK: Sure, the Mauka Halekii extension runs between the Kona Scenic Subdivision and <br /> Kealakekua down to bypass, which is now known as Ali'i Drive. That road is one of the roads that <br /> was required to be dedicated under the ordinance. It was subject to a variance in 2011,that allowed <br /> the road to be constructed to a rural standard and was subsequently dedicated to and accepted by <br /> the County, 2012. <br /> WESLEY-SMITH: And has it been a public road since then? <br /> VITOUSEK: It has, yeah, it serves Kealakekua and provides access to Kona for Kealakakua <br /> community including the Kona Community Hospital. <br /> WESLEY-SMITH: Okay, so looking at the Makai Halekii extension, is that the road colored in <br /> pink? <br /> VITOUSEK: Yes. <br /> WESLEY-SMITH: And then that connects to the connector road which is colored in light blue? <br /> VITOUSEK: Yes. <br /> WESLEY-SMITH: Okay, so if you come down Makai Haleki`i extension and turn towards the top <br /> of the page, which is north on the connector road, where does that go? <br /> VITOUSEK: Halekii Street currently dead ends at the Ackerman Ranch, Honuaino four <br /> Ahupua'a. <br /> WESLEY-SMITH: Okay and what is the Ackerman Ranch used for today? <br /> VITOUSEK: It's a cattle ranch. They do cow calf operation and then I think they recently got a <br /> special use permit to do a wedding venue up next to the bypass. <br /> WESLEY-SMITH: Okay and then where that light blue road dead ends, it looks like there's also <br /> a road going down into that neighborhood. So, if you get to that dead end, where does that road <br /> take you? <br /> VITOUSEK: So, at the ninety-degree angle, the road heading makai from there is Hawai`i Loa <br /> Drive and that takes you down into phase two of Hokuli`a and to the shoreline park parking lot. <br /> WESLEY-SMITH: And—so the Makai Halekii extension and the connector road are both <br /> currently private, correct? <br /> VITOUSEK: Currently, yes. <br /> EXHIBIT B <br /> Page 13 <br />
