PC- 55 Page 2 October 6,2020 Ms. Gushiken added there was a lot of consideration about the students, keiki, and kupuna who would most frequently use the area for walking when considering whether or not to build sidewalks. She concluded that EAH determined it would be best to put in a sidewalk to get pedestrians to the major intersection of West Kawili and Kapi`olani Streets. Chair Kierkiewicz asked the Office of Housing and Community Development to submit an amendment regarding the sidewalks. She reminded the body that there is a 45-day clock for this 201H application that has been ticking since September thus any amendments must be done prior to or on the floor at the October 21, 2020 meeting of the Council. Mr. Hosaka confirmed he would submit an amendment and noted an existing guardrail next to the flood canal where the proposed sidewalk on Kapi`olani Street is located; Ms. Gushiken confirmed. Committee Member Tim Richards added a comment that in his district, Ala `Ohia Street has a wide walking space and no sidewalk, and in his opinion it actually works better than a sidewalk. Chair Kierkiewicz sought clarification that the applicant is working with the Department of Water Supply (DWS) to ensure water commitments based on realistic usage are being made and that the applicant continues to work with DWS, as they are great resources to partner with. Ms. Gushiken confirmed that EAH paid their water commitments and will continue to work with DWS. Your Committee on Planning is in accord with the purpose and intent of Resolution No. 733-20, and recommends its adoption. jb AYES NOES ABS EX Respectfully submitted, CHUNG X DAVID x COMMITTEE ON PLANNING EOFF X KANEALI`I-KLEINFELDER X KIERKIEWICZ X LEE LOY X POINDEXTER x ASHLEY L.
