I thought the County way back planned to extend Awapuhi to connect back to the Old Ruthie
<br />Subdivision all the way toward Kawailani Street, and I don't know why Kahaopea Street was not
<br />improved earlier. Fresh Onishi said they were waiting for Roland to make the improvements.
<br />He's gone back to, I think, 1996 to make these, you know, keeps asking for extensions. And, so
<br />that's my primary concern is keeping my easement when Roland went for the, the owner went
<br />for renewal before he asked us. And, I don't want to drive through a flood zone. I lived there
<br />long enough to know it floods, and I don't want to have to go onto the highway, right turn in or
<br />right turn, you know, access only. That means I'd have to drive all the way around the block,
<br />and I don't want to have to drive through what I know is a flood zone.
<br />HENKEL: Thank you, Ms. Salazar. Any questions from the Commissioners for Stephanie
<br />Salazar? I have one. I was wondering. Maija, with your pointer, could you show us your, Ms.
<br />Salazar's residence?
<br />DOI: And show `em how the water come down in the back, too.
<br />HENKEL: Thank you.
<br />SALAZAR: So, my concern was when I talk about runoff is because of the slope goes down,
<br />right where my house is
<br />DOI: —She go over the
<br />SALAZAR: the white building where the bushes are, it goes straight down, and it does flood
<br />into, you know, over my head high. And, I'm concerned about when they develop, more water is
<br />going to come down and also at the end of my easement where it goes onto the highway, there is
<br />also a raised culvert, and my mailbox is there. And, in the prior application five years ago, the
<br />developer wanted to have the highway make a right -turn lane and cut into the easement, and I
<br />said I don't think you can do that because it's Land Court land. This is not a public benefit
<br />community. It's a private enterprise, so I don't see how they can take from me for a private
<br />development, and as I said before, when Roland made the application, if it comes with problems,
<br />if he bought a pig in the poke, that's his problem. I don't think that I should be damaged by his
<br />need to make a profit by selling his property and making a development.
<br />HENKEL: Okay, thank you, Ms. Salazar. Russell Doi? You've been sworn in. Please speak
<br />into the microphone. You've got three minutes, please.
<br />DOI: Yeah, I came today and talk about that place. I lived there 50 years, maybe more. I seen
<br />all Pana`ewa grow. Came from nothing to what it is today. One of my concerns I guess would
<br />be the flooding, and the last time I came about four years ago, I complained that they wen dump
<br />plenty material and rubbish in the flood zone. The guy came and check. Till this day, that
<br />rubbish and shit is still in the flood zone, and how can be next door where Hank Correa wen
<br />subdivide, one Filipino guy when throw material over the cement wall into the flood zone, and
<br />County wen make him take `em out, and he had to hire my friend for take `em out. So, one small
<br />potato guy, you pick on him, but Roland, they throw hundreds of cubic yards of rubbish in the
<br />FEMA flood zone and nobody do jack shit. So, something wrong with County or I guess they
