ANN KOBSA <br />Ms. Kobsa came to speak about Communication No. 06 -107 ( Waiele). Ms. Kobsa <br />thanked the Commission for considering their proposal. Ms. Kobsa stated they forgot to <br />mention in their written testimony that their group was working on preparing an <br />application for the historic registry for the State and Federal levels on a section of <br />coastline that would include Honolulu Landing and Waiele. They were about to submit <br />it. Ms. Kobsa stated there was a lot of hala forest in the area. Ms. Kobsa stated there are <br />tide pools and a large area of sand with coconut grove. A lot of people go for the hike. <br />Ms. Kobsa stated the trial is actually the property line; it goes to show the trial was there <br />before the property divisions were made. <br />Mr. Cheetham stated the trial was in active use by the people in the area up to the year <br />1959. The lava flow stopped it from being used. <br />Ms. Kobsa stated her personal preference would be for the area to be maintained as a <br />trail, a place to get away from crowds. <br />Mr. Flores asked who owned the property to the south. <br />Ms. Kobsa stated it was a private owner. The beach is divided by the property line, most <br />of the beach is on the parcel that is for sale but part of it is still on the other parcel. <br />Mr. Cheetham stated from the Wa`a Wa`a subdivision to the 1960 lava now there was <br />only one building which was John Orr's that is now the center for Kamehemeha's <br />program. <br />Mr. Flores stated there could be a potential that Kamehameha could expand their <br />properties because it's adjacent to their property and it has potential educational <br />component that could be applicable to their estate. <br />Ms. Burgess stated on her original proposal for Honolulu Landing she used as reference a <br />textbook that was published by Kamehameha schools. She thought it was a great idea to <br />restore the ahupua`a system and have students do it. <br />Ms. Palmer summarized this was not the only thing going on; there are a number of <br />things going on. The historic registry is currently being sought for the roadway and the <br />mango tree grove that goes from Wa`a Wa`a to the 1960 lava flow is in the exceptional <br />tree program. <br />0 <br />
