Home

to a private subdivision, and there were no provisions for my driveway. I bought this property from W. H. Shipman with a paper access, and this paper access came—we had it recorded in 1996, I believe, with the Bureau of Conveyances in Honolulu. I have some pictures of what’s been happening--when it divert water into the forest, and then they cover it up with debris so nobody can see the natural flow of water. The Google Earth map that they provide, Verizon provides, is hand drawn in. You cannot drive this square. You cannot drive this square, and I also believe that I’ve, I’ve been denied my right to a petition today and the last time, 11/5, because I was not notified. I found out about this meeting yesterday afternoon when I picked up the, the minutes at this hearing. Here also is a US Geological Survey photograph of when I purchased the property. My driveway was a pig hunting trail, and I don’t know when the County acquired the rights or when they bought out the subdivision or how they acquired the street, Komo Street. But, Komo Street was not a County Road. Komo Street came off of Oshiro Road after the second bridge, and it was, and you guys can look at this if you want but I’m going to keep this cause it’s the only one I have. I’m of Hawaiian ancestry. My name is John McGuire. My father was John Davis McGuire. My descendancy goes back to Isaac Davis and King Kamehameha the First. And, I feel that this is not enough time for me to prepare. I could not hire a counsel. And, as far as the tower goes, this is where I live right now. I marked out my property. This comes from the US Fish & Wildlife Service. Both sides of where they plan to put the tower is, is a--endangered species area for the Hawaiʽi Hoary Bat. You guys can look at this also, but it’s the only one I have. They planned to put it right here. Right on Lot 45 is a nesting area for the Hoary Bat, and the tower will interfere with its, with its operation and its navigation cause the bat is like a whale. It depends on sonar and radar to travel. Here’s a document from, from the Fish & Wildlife. The Hoary Bat is on number one critical habitat for Hawaiian species, and I feel that I have not seen an environmental impact statement, and I feel that I’m being abused by, by Verizon and the County at this time. The reason I’m saying that is because I spent more money on putting this road in than I spent on purchasing the property from Shipman. I have $300,000 into this road because the County made me keep a licensed surveyor on site to shoot grade. I had Donald Murray from Murray & Murray which cost me a lot of money. And, they made me haul all the debris away. Nowadays, the bulldozer guys—they only bulldozer that’s on the mountain is Stephen Branco. Anyone behind the gate, any bulldozing activity back there is Stephen Branco. There has not been another bulldozer operator out there in ten years. That said, I think that I’m being taken advantage of. There’s no, my gate has been there for 15 years, and now all the new owners, all the old owners have sold their properties that used to live there. You know, Peter Daub and all the different owners. And now the new owners, I don’t know who they are, but Lot 45 should have never been subdivided out of 50-acre piece because if you look—I don’t have enough time to—this is kind of rude in a way, three minutes—but, if 3 EXHIBIT C
