CHR. SIRACUSA: Well, you never know; there is Hawaiian Paradise Park and there is no Paradise. MS. POINDEXTER: I think some people would disagree. MR. MELROSE: Can you bring up the summary one more time so we can see the variations. Pull up the island wide one just to look at the variations, the summary block. Liberal use of the variations; there is nothing out of -- -Okay. Let's look at District 1 and 2. This is the Pi`ihonua thing that people had asked for. That's alright; it's about 40 or 50 votes, we could amend that if we wanted to. If we adopted that, I would guarantee we do that. CHR. SIRACUSA: Remember, they pointed out to us that some parts of that community is on one side of the Wailuku River. MR. MELROSE: That's what I'm talking about, the Pi`ihonua. It's easy to come up with 40 votes; the road comes across the river. We could fix that if we needed to. This one has the impact of splitting Keaukaha, which actually is a road connectivity issue on the back side of Keaukaha that doesn't work. You can't get through the district to get to the back side of Keaukaha by any means, so that would have to be amended. CHR. SIRACUSA: Well, certainly, nobody lives in Hilo Airport. MR. MELROSE: So that is irrelevant. MR. MIDDLESWORTH: There are some people who live in Hilo Airport; there are two census blocks just east of the highway with people, right by the airport. MR. MELROSE: So the boundary between Puna MR. KANUHA : Where is this again? CHR. SIRACUSA: The boundary between Hilo and Puna, the upper right hand corner in purple, that is Haena, that is the Shipman property beach. MR. MELROSE: The squares are the Macadamia Nut Orchards, and on the north side of that is the boundary of Puna. So you have an incursion into the district. There are some votes right around Kea` au by the bypass road, small kind. So this is the Industrial Park. MR. KANUHA: Before we continue; this is the one submitted this morning, Margaret? Yesterday, thank you. CHR. SIRACUSA: So Paradise Park is intact. MR. MELROSE: So Paradise Park, Orchid Land, `Aina Loa is separated out. I don't know what the road connectivity issues are here. I guess you have an emergency connector from Hawaiian Acres into `Aina Loa. 13
