<br />area, but you know from Verizon’s standpoint, if Komo Drive is public, then why should we not
<br />be able to, to use it for access?
<br />
<br />IKEDA: I understand what you’re saying, but I under—I really feel for Mr. McGuire. I, I think
<br />that he has every right to complain because he put in all the, his time, effort, and money, and it, it
<br />looks like he’s not getting anything back for all his hard work, so I have concern about that.
<br />Thank you.
<br />
<br />FOX: There might be another testifier listed. I’m not sure if he’s signed up, but he’s ohana to
<br />the property owner, and he can explain a little bit about the road and its history and how it’s
<br />maintained now, because it’s my understanding that some of the other residents also participate
<br />in the maintenance. I don’t know if you want to call him up now or—
<br />
<br />IKEDA: --We can go ahead—
<br />
<br />FOX: Okay--
<br />
<br />IKEDA: Mr. Chairman, can you call him up?
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Commissioners, any further questions? If not, okay.
<br />
<br />Could you please raise your right hand? Do you swear or affirm to tell the truth on this matter
<br />now before the Hawaiʽi County Planning Commission?
<br />
<br />KALILI: Yes.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: State your name and residence.
<br />
<br />KALILI: My name is Wade Kalili. I’m at 71 Pua Avenue, Hilo. So, I’m actually the brother-in-
<br />law of the property owner. So as far as I know, that County road, you know he’s not able to be
<br />here, he works in Alaska—so he really wanted to be here but couldn’t, couldn’t make it—. But,
<br />as far as the property, I understand Mr. McGuire’s point, too, but he is, I’m not sure about the
<br />history as well, but he has maintained that as a County road. And then even thinking about Mr.
<br />McGuire’s point, I know making a separate road will probably make it worse as far as flooding.
<br />Kind of to me, doesn’t make sense, that would need a separate road, but I know the gate was
<br />placed. I had helped them one time for trash reasons. You know, the gate was open, and people
<br />would dump trash and cars and what not on the side of his property, so I know that’s where the
<br />gate comes in as far as the access to the property, so people, you know, I guess it’s a common
<br />thing at the end of a road. You know, I know, I live on Panaʽewa so at the end of Railroad,
<br />people dump trash and what not, so that’s the reason for the gate.
<br />
<br />But, as far as the property where the tower is, I’ve been up there numerous times, no trees. It’s a
<br />little area on the property, and I mean, I guess that’s about it.
<br />
<br />MIYASATO: Thank you. Commissioners, any questions? Okay, thank you.
