Ms. Sweeney: Could you re-state your name for the record please. <br /> Mr. Santiago: My name is Richard Santiago and I'm here in front of you fine <br /> people for one specific date and time. January 16, 2015 that day is <br /> the reason for my petition. I'd like to first of all give a slight <br /> background why the date came about in order for you to be able to <br /> give a just judgment up to your decision today. You have to know <br /> the background prior to January 16, 2015. Let me make it short. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: I'm sorry Mr. Santiago can you hold one moment. I would first <br /> like to ask our ladies here if you would like to request an open or <br /> closed hearing in this matter. <br /> Ms. Villanueva: An open hearing is fine. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Alright. Thank you very much. In that case please go ahead. <br /> Mr. Santiago: I recently find out, filed a temporary restraining order towards the <br /> family members of who are involved with the property. Let me <br /> give you a small explanation of what went on before and how we <br /> got there. The ten point seven three acre parcel on Ilikini road was <br /> divided into thirty shares. Divided amongst some eight to ten <br /> people. One of them Mrs. Martha B. Joseph Change Sr. and her <br /> husband raised goats on the parcel for some sixty years. In <br /> September of 2003, myself and Valerie Stevens herself a partial <br /> heir and myself also a hanai heir leased about two acre parcel in <br /> the Northeast corner of the lot for a homestead. Myself paid Mr. <br /> Chang a hundred dollars monthly. Myself installed the water <br /> meter and I laid some six hundred feet of water line in back of the <br /> property. This was in 2003 and paid the water bill ever since. The <br /> water meter was under Joseph Chang attention Ricard Santiago <br /> and I had the bill every month ever since. I was paying the bill all <br /> those thirteen years. On and about June of 2005, Valerie came <br /> home to find a no trespassing sign and a chain with a lock on our <br /> front gate. Our drive way is six hundred feet into the property <br /> which is fenced the whole thing over and we were raising our <br /> vegetables. Broccoli grew really nice. <br /> Ms. Kahakalau: Excuse me Mr. Santiago we just need a brief opening statement we <br /> all have the petition in front of us. <br /> Mr. Santiago: Yeah I'm sorry just wanted to you know why it happened. Okay. <br /> That's all we got on the property. It's all kind of family stuff. <br /> 14 <br />
