condition specifies that the county is to obtain the right-of-way outside of the applicant's property for this road, and that the applicant will construct the road at its sole cost and expense as a two-lane county dedicable collector road, including shoulders and swales no later than six years after the entire right-of-way is acquired; lastly, the current condition requires completion of the road to be secured by bond prior to granting final subdivision approval on the property containing single-family residential lots. The applicant is proposing to change the condition to extend Road 1 from Road 3A up to Mamalahoa Highway, and to defer construction or bonding of Road 1 until the 900th residential unit. 3 This is the condition that Commissioner Van Perris and I were talking about. The request is to delete Condition V6 related to Makalei Drive. The current condition states that at the western 3 end of Makalei Drive, the applicant is to provide safety improvements necessary to make a safe transition to University Drive; Makalei Drive is a minor road and will not be open to the public as a through street until Road 1 is opened for public use. And the applicant is requesting to completely delete this condition because they do not own Makalei Drive and so therefore are not s able to make any safety improvements or transition improvements to connect University Drive to Makalei Drive. i And the next condition is to add Condition V7. This is related to Road 6A. The new condition would state that Road 6A would be a public road within a 60-foot right-of-way and constructed in conjunction with any of the project's development requiring access to or from Road 6A. So those are the requested amendments to rezone ordinance 09 132 for the Project District. And then for Agenda Item number 2 they are requesting one amendment to ordinance 09 131. This is for the MCX-zoned portion of the property within the business park. So for this condition, Palamanui is requesting to amend Condition E to provide a five-year time extension to s secure final subdivision approval within the business park. i3 The applicant has several reasons for the request. The proposed changes to the ordinances are necessary to conform the Palamanui project to the Kona CDP and the master plan that was created in compliance with the CDP; to facilitate the continued development of the UH West Hawaii campus and align construction of the Palamanui project with the planned University Village; as well as to update the Palamanui project to current market demand and conditions, including traffic conditions. As I mentioned before, Palamanui had a traffic assessment prepared in 2017, and that traffic assessment informed their phasing plan, and so Palamanui is requesting that completion of these roadway improvements be triggered with the actual traffic impact or need generated by the development as laid out in the traffic assessment. This is an aerial photo of the property. It was taken, I believe, June of last year. You can see the property outlined in yellow, Queen Ka`ahumanu Highway along the western edge of the property. There is a rough-graded road along the University Drive, Road 2C, alignment, which runs along the southern property boundary all the way up to the eastern property boundary near Makalei Drive. And then you can see the University of Hawaii West Hawaii campus just south of the property that is shown with the white buildings and concrete, and then the existing Ane Keohokalole Highway extends from the southern property boundary down to Ka`iminani Drive, 13 DRAFT
