GIFFIN: And so this would be a good thing for us to ask. Ma’am, or either one of you, will you
<br />please come up. I don’t know if you heard the concern that Mr. Wagner just presented, but it has to
<br />do with mail delivery to both increments. He lives in Increment I, if I’m correct, Mr. Wagner?
<br />
<br />WAGNER: Yes.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: And he said that he was told, and I don’t know by whom, that they, they would be
<br />providing mail delivery to both increments when Increment II happened.
<br />
<br />WAGNER: As a gang box type of thing.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: Yeah, uh huh.
<br />
<br />ASHIKAWA: Actually, when Increment I was developed, that really wasn’t an issue back then
<br />because back then the post office did individual delivery. And I guess right during completion they
<br />changed it to where they no longer provide home delivery individual. So it kind of caught us off
<br />guard like that; we weren’t expecting that. So for Increment II we were planning to put some kind
<br />of cluster mailbox initially, and after speaking with the, someone from the post office, they came up
<br />to take a look, and there really wasn’t an area that could be agreed on. And I guess the best thing
<br />for them would be along Holoholo Street some kind of cluster box, but after speaking to I think
<br />Engineering, someone from the County, they didn’t feel that was a good place to put the boxes. So
<br />we were kind of like, you know, decided that, I guess, at this time it can’t be done, I guess, to put
<br />the cluster mailbox there. And like, as it was already stated, you know, the post office, that’s kind
<br />of between the owner and the post office for the delivery, so if they don’t want to do it, you know,
<br />it’s, I guess -.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: I don’t mean to be washing the County’s hands of this issue, sir, but it sounds to me that
<br />this is an issue that should be taken up between the developer and members of your community
<br />association, if one exists, and also Phase II owners, too. And as Daryn said earlier, and Daryn, you
<br />can correct me if I’m wrong, this is not the domain of the County. Did I hear you correctly, Daryn?
<br />
<br />ARAI: That is correct; mail delivery is not a requirement for subdivisions.
<br />
<br />GIFFIN: But I do strongly recommend that both of you, and all three of you, ma’am, you included,
<br />go ahead and speak to the members of the Phase I group. Director.
<br />
<br />LEITHEAD TODD: I was going to say if you follow up, contact me, I’m willing to work with you
<br />and try mediate some meeting with the US Postal Service, and see whether we can come up with an
<br />agreed-upon spot, and I’ll also talk to Engineering, because -. I mean, you know, I like having my
<br />mailbox at my house, and I feel sorry that you kind of got caught off guard because you obviously
<br />started the subdivision with belief that people would get individual spots. So why don’t you follow
<br />up, call me, and then let’s set up a meeting and see what we can do and whether there is some place
<br />where we can find something, and maybe it’s not Holoholo Street, maybe it has to be another
<br />County street, but something that’s closer to the residents of your subdivision than having to drive
<br />all the way down to the post office boxes.
<br />
<br />ASHIKAWA: Thank you. I’ll be willing to speak with you -.
<br />
<br />LEITHEAD TODD: Okay, thank you.
