permitted, along the private road shall be clearly delineated and labeled in a manner meeting with the approval of the Department of Public Works.” And it is not, just as an explanation, a road widening setback is just a setback. It is not taking the five feet at this time; it’s simply saying that the road could be widened in the future, so any homes to be built on it in the future should kind of anticipate the additional widening, so we don’t allow it to be built right up to where the widening would occur. So with that, I -. Oh, I’m sorry. We did have a series of communications that just came in this morning. One of them is an email that was sent to you, as well as hardcopies provided, it’s transmitting a letter from Bhagavan Buritz making reference to the twelve-foot wide private road located to the south of the subject property. We’ve also provided a number of materials that were provided by the applicant just this morning; it’s a series of photographs, as well as a proposed change to the language of Condition F, I’m sorry, it says here Condition E. And finally, a memorandum dated February 16 from the Department of Public Works, speaking to Condition F regarding the road widening. So with that, I stand ready to answer any questions that you may have. GIFFIN: Commissioners, any questions of Daryn? Commissioner Whittemore. WHITTEMORE: The width on the Old Government Road, I know it’s very narrow, and you are representing that it’s 25, the allowed is 25 feet. Is that an encroachment on the mauka side or the makai side? ARAI: The additional widening of eight feet, as contained within Condition E -. WHITTEMORE: No, I’m talking about the existing 25-foot reserve, because it didn’t look like 25 feet. ARAI: The right-of-way is 25 feet currently. The pavement as you see is roughly about eight feet wide, and it kind of sits inside of the 25 feet -. WHITTEMORE: Can you go to that picture? I just want to understand this. ARAI: Let’s see, there was a subdivision map in here. There. WHITTEMORE: Well, you had a photograph that was a little more clear. There, there. ARAI: This one? Okay. WHITTEMORE: Yeah, so -. Yeah, that’s looking down towards Hōlualoa Town, right? So, looking at that, if that’s eight feet, where are you -? It looks like the utilities are set in the 25-foot -. ARAI: Which is one reason why I made specific reference to the utility pole. The utility pole is within the existing right-of-way. WHITTEMORE: Okay, so, and if you look on the makai side, there is no way that that falls within the normal setback for buildings. Is that grandfathered in because of the age of the buildings? ARAI: Yes. 4 EXHIBIT A
