5. Increasinq Height of Rock Wall in Right-of-Way <br /> As stated above, the landowner increased the height of the existing <br /> rock wall that is located makai of Alii Drive. When the county constructed drainage <br /> improvements for Waiaha Stream (located to the south of the property)y, county officials <br /> erected a guardrail along the rock wall. The then existing rock wall was about two feet <br /> in height and functioned to prevent the entry of water from Alii Drive unto the property <br /> and also directed water to the south to the county's then existing and recently improved <br /> drainage facilities. The addition to the height of that existing rock wall does not interfere <br /> with the volume or disposition of water flowing across Alii Drive to the south. <br /> Expending money to retain an engineer to conduct a hydraulic <br /> study and to compare the increase in volume, if any, created by the increase of the <br /> height of the then existing two-foot-high rock wall is unwarranted. County officials can <br /> make this determination themselves and that no "compliance" action is required on the <br /> part of the Appellant Kismet, LLC, which does not own the land on which the wall is <br /> located. According to the registered Land Court, that land is public land under the <br /> jurisdiction of the state or the county and the wall was in apparent existence when the <br /> Land Court approved Application 1595. <br />
