conveyed would be addressed at that time. I just think that the needs may change; there may not be any maintenance for it. So, I'm personally okay with that,just for whatever that's worth. Anybody else? Max, go ahead. NEWBERG: Yeah,just to mirror your thoughts on that, Chair Carr Smith, I think parks are important, I think it's good to create these livable and workable areas. I've also noticed that not only with the building of the university itself, the roadway that connects it to Ka`iminani Drive is a very walkable and popular area for a lot of the residents in that area to have somewhere relatively flat to walk without having to go down to NELHA, OTEC or Pine Trees, Kohanaiki area to walk. So seeing it as what it is, and then also to mirror your thoughts on the park, to start off with the 10-acre, which I do recall that being part of the proposed project long ago, yet also donating an extra 10 acres, while perhaps not ideal, it does seem to strike balance as far as what the county may be able to do with that property in the future, be it, you know, potentially a dog park or something, at least they have the land in which to develop something in the future with that. Other than that, a lot of this looks like it's trying to strike balance between feasibility and actually moving forward with the project. That's all I have for comments this time. CARR SMITH: Thank you. Mike. Go ahead, Mike. VITOUSEK: Okay, my next question is a little bit more difficult, I guess. You know, in looking at the long-term needs of roadways and the community, it's my personal, personal belief that the mauka-makai connector road, the Road 1, doesn't serve as much of a public benefit as extending the Ane Keohokalole Highway. And I just wanted to know if there was any discussions between the applicant and the Planning Department about realigning those conditions so that instead of committing to the creation of a pretty redundant roadway, we could actually get the development of a roadway that would be a tremendous service to the community. CARR SMITH: - - - JACKSON: - -JACKSON: Chair Carr Smith, you are muted. CARR SMITH: Sorry, Maija, go ahead. JACKSON: Can I respond to that? CARR SMITH: Yes, please. JACKSON: So there has been discussion over the last few years about that, and that idea came up a few years ago. One of the main reasons that that hasn't been pursued yet is because the Land Use Commission decision and order for the Palamanui property requires that they construct a mauka-makai road at their sole cost and expense. So, although the county may be supportive of that idea, we advised Palamanui that they need to go back to LUC and get that condition of their order amended before the county could provide that type of improvements swap. CARR SMITH: Mike, do you have any response? 31 DRAFT
