that short little angle there. So, his representation with that he would remove the cinder on his property to bring the property into this grade. Currently, this is the amount of cinder that’s been removed. He’s still proposing to remove this remaining amount. This is a photo that we took when we went out on a site inspection. Again, we took the photo from Mahi—Kailua looking towards the south, so this is actually Jernigan’s property, so it has come down quite a bit. And, again, the representation on paper. This has been removed. This still needs to be removed. This is on the east portion of the property looking west so we would be over in this particular area looking at the property this way. This was in 2009, and this is what he was proposing to remove. This is the Hawaiian Ocean View Ranchos, I mean a, Road Maintenance Corporation property. This is what it currently looks like. Again, we’re looking from west to east. I’m sorry east to west. And, they’ve removed quite a bit of cinder on the property. It actually is getting very close to being at grade with the east bordering property. And, again, this is showing the illustration of what’s been removed, and the little bit that needs to removed remaining. This is on the west boundary. This was probably the largest face. The previous owner had illegally removed cinder, and it brought down this quite extensively. So, the Applicant was asking to remove, bring this down to safe levels. This picture shows what has been removed, and what remains to be removed. This was a photo that we took recently on a site inspection again showing the face on the west boundary. There’s been some continual removal of cinder so, you can’t see it very well, but there’s a large pit here, so it comes down another 20+ feet in this particular area. Again, this is that photo, and then this is looking from Lurline towards the property, so you’re getting a different view on the east property, so you can kind of see how deep it’s gone since then. It was from—at this elevation, and it’s gone down quite a bit further, but the Applicant is proposing to just bring it to where he had originally request. So, this is that original request here. These are again some illustrations showing what is on the ground now. This is the east property. That’s their access road. This is their property. Basically, it’s separated by this. Once this is removed, they probably are going to be pretty close at grade. These are additional photos. This is one that we took again showing the pretty close east property and the subject property. And one more there. And, this is to give you an idea of Mahimahi Road, which is this one, or Mahimahi Drive, has been stopped right at the Applicant’s property here because of the unsafe condition of the road. If you can see this hole right here? That actually goes down about 80 feet right off the subject roadway, so they felt it was highly unsafe so they blocked off this particular portion of the road. The Planning Director is recommending a three-year time extension instead of the five-year request. The reason for that is that the Planning Department is requesting that the owners and operators in this area get together and come up with some sort of master plan showing how they can bring the entire area into a safe manner. It appears that this can only be really done in concert with all the other operators. If they work separately, it’s just gonna cause more vertical faces and things. That’s our request, and I believe we’re gonna continue to request that when 3 EXHIBIT A
