MR. KANUHA: It just looks so ugly. MR. KAHUI: Okay, undo that. I guess, respectfully for both, we are going to need District 7 and District 8 work together to look at these watersheds in a collaborative effort, unified, so that things can happen for both districts. I don't intend to hoard the water, but having it in our - -- Following this district line helps us to maybe promote the development of water resources that really is impacting the growth of going north of Palani all the way up past the airport into Waikoloa. So, our water needs are so huge that when you look south of us, currently the land use planning and the planning for south Kona may not have some development, but not to the scale we are seeing in north Kona. MR. KANUHA: wasn't doing it to say District 8 needs more water, and District 7 needs more water; I was just doing it so that in the description we can follow that District 7 goes up to the summit of Hualalai, follows the Waiaha boundary; you know there is very easily descriptive words we could use in describing this district. MR. KAHUI: Are the current descriptions -- -Maybe the girl could come up. MR. KAHUI: To me, it looks like it goes up 3/4 of the way to Hualalai and can somebody describe how you would describe this boundary? CHR. SIRACUSA: The census blocks have identification numbers, so could it be done that way in terms of descriptions? MS. NAKAMOTO: We would need to look at what the metes and bounds says. We would have to take what the metes and bounds provide us, but from what we have looked at so far, a lot of the information that we see in the metes and bounds with the draft plan refers basically to tiger lines, and tiger lines, the average person would not be able to distinguish. I'm not even sure on a topo map if they would be able to find where that line is following. MR. KANUHA: Another point I was trying to make is if people do look at this they go, why did you not incorporate part of this watershed into this district? And I know that will happen, so that is the only reason why I need to incorporate a portion of Hualalai, which does cover a whole bunch of this Kailua urban region into that district. MS. POINDEXTER: I agree with you Dru. CHR. SIRACUSA: We are still left with the issue of the strangely shaped census blocks which we cannot get around and which we have bumped heads with over and over again. So we get back to that two out of three, which may not be the most elegant and poetic way of doing it, but put the two big ones in one or the other and the two small ones into one or the other; it's a matter of - -- 34
