<br />GIFFIN: Daryn. <br /> <br />ARAI: My understanding is that the Postal Service has instituted new rules regarding the use of <br />gang mailboxes, and they are discouraging individual mail delivery to individual residences. I’m <br />not sure if this particular project met the cutoff when they were going to gang mailboxes versus <br />individual service; but ultimately it is up to the subdivider working with the US Postal Service to <br />determine if mail service can be delivered to individual lots. And if not, then accommodations <br />somehow have to be made for a gang mailbox facility. But that is really between the subdivider or, <br />if yours is a pre-existing subdivision, then the subdivision and the Postal Service. But it’s not <br />something that can be addressed in this venue. <br /> <br />WAGNER: My – is this live? <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Yeah. <br /> <br />WAGNER: My belief is that it was overlooked in Phase I, and it was said that it was going to be <br />done at Phase II, exactly what you were saying, by the subdivider. <br /> <br />ARAI: What we -. <br /> <br />WAGNER: Yeah, I -. <br /> <br />ARAI: What we do is during the subdivision process we inform all subdividers of the new <br />requirements of the US Postal Service regarding these community mailboxes. Whether or not the <br />landowner or developer is obligated to provide a gang facility that would service both Phases I and <br />II, that I’m not sure; the expectation at least within our Department is that a facility for the <br />particular phase. <br /> <br />WAGNER: Don’t you provide, put conditions on subdivision that the developer has to complete <br />before it’s approved? And that’s what I’m asking. Can you or Will you do it? <br /> <br />ARAI: For mail service, no, because it is not a standard requirement of the subdivision process; <br />mail service is not a prerequisite for subdivision. Access, like roadways, water service, yes, but not <br />mail delivery. <br /> <br />WAGNER: So in other words I’m going to have to pay $240 for the rest of the time I stay in <br />Kukuinui – it just went up a hundred percent for mail box – plus time and gas to go to Kona to pick <br />up my mail. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: Sir, if I may interrupt. <br /> <br />WAGNER: Oh, go ahead. <br /> <br />GIFFIN: We have, as you saw earlier, the developer here -. <br /> <br />WAGNER: Yeah, I’d like to find out -. <br /> <br />6 <br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />
