Page 19 <br />1 aloha for the foreseeable future? <br />2 MS. MIURA: Correct. <br />3 MR. HIGGINS: But what if one or two houses <br />4 out in the middle of nowhere are rebuilt? Does <br />5 somebody actually go out and inspect and look around? <br />6 Because if it's a small amount, it's not going to show <br />7 up in the real estate prices. <br />8 MS. MIURA: Well, there's a couple of <br />9 different factors. We do follow MLS, but that would be <br />10 a listing through the realtors, and not all sales <br />11 happen through the realtors. So anything recorded at <br />12 the Bureau of Conveyances would come through our <br />13 office. <br />14 There are -- you know, down in that area, <br />15 they have some agreement of sales that don't get <br />16 recorded, and people go and start building unpermitted, <br />17 and the tax office for this County does pick up <br />18 unpermitted dwellings. The issue that we have in other <br />19 parts of lower Puna that was previously covered by lava <br />20 is that some people are building on lots they don't <br />21 actually own -- and so that's a different issue. But as <br />22 far as the area that's covered right now, we are <br />23 watching that, and we do use aerial imagery to follow <br />24 up with that. <br />25 MR. HIGGINS: Thank you. <br />ISLAND COURT REPORTING & TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES <br />(808) 933-9800 <br />
