i West Hawaii Business Park, LLC Request to Amend Ord. No. 18-115 i July 15, 2021 I Page No. 7 i At the same time, the condition related to requiring the Kamanu Street extension improvements (Condition Jj will retain the requirement that prier to development of any portion of the remaining areas', other than for quarrying and related uses, the unimproved portion of Kamanu Street must be completed and available for use prior to occupancy of any structures. In addition to the amendments to allow the development of Parcels 77 and 00, LP is proposing to delete the section of Condition J that provides the ability to development Kamanu Street in phases as well as providing for alternative funding options for its construction. LP has determined that these options are not viable development alternatives and is therefore requesting that they be deleted from the condition. Justification for requesting amendment: LP believes that the requested amendment to Condition J and proposed new Conditions N. and O. of Ordinance 18-115 are reasonable and justified based on the following. Completion of the Ane Keohokalole Highway improvements from Hina Lani Street to Palani Road (completed in 2014) provides regional interconnectivity that was to be provided in part by the Kamanu Street Extension through WHBP. When the WHBP Change of Zone ordinance was originally approved, there was no road interconnecting Kealakehe Parkway and Hina Lani Street. Accordingly, the Kamanu Street Extension improvements were envisioned as providing an intra-regional connection_ The requirement to construct the Kamanu Street extension improvements was intended to provide a solution to the regional traffic circulation needs in the vicinity of Kaloko Light Industrial and Kealakehe Parkway and not necessarily to address the traffic impacts of West Hawaii Business Park. Since that time, Ane Keohokalole Highway between Palani Road and Hina Lani Street has been completed providing the necessary inter regional road connection. As such, the improvement of Kamanu Street extension is no longer necessary to provide a solution to the regional traffic circulation needs. L The Queen Kaahumanu widening project, completed in fall 2018, provides improved regional capacity. These improvements include construction of a new signalized intersection at the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park entrance.
