incorporate the, whatever your you know, you specifically want to have the updated traffic
<br /> study--updated public access study discussed, obviously,the updated public access study is
<br /> going to have to discuss not only physical access but vehicular access. So, that translates to the
<br /> parking, but in terms of whether there's like a threshold, you know, obviously there's no
<br /> discussion on that.
<br /> VITOUSEK: Yeah, I can [indecipherable audio]. Commissioner Paishon-Duarte.
<br /> PAISHON-DUARTE: I just want to--I have two comments. I want to support you, Chairman,
<br /> Chair Vitousek, on your two ideas that you've brought forth. One is, you know, further analysis
<br /> around the ecological impact, so increase use and increase public access doesn't always translate
<br /> to responsible use of a particular resource. So, there can be some kind of, I believe Mr Fuke, you
<br /> were talking about maybe examining carrying capacity or thresholds. I think that would, if you
<br /> can incorporate that into perhaps, you know, your preservation plan. I'm not sure the preservation
<br /> plan was going to extend all the way seaward. I think that would be really helpful.
<br /> Number two, I also want to support, Chairman Vitousek's idea or recommendation to tie or
<br /> caught codify the workforce housing development to the, to this actual development. To codify it
<br /> with a timetable, I think that is significant, I think that's really important and certainly, from what
<br /> we've heard from oral testimony this morning, as well as reading some of the written testimony,
<br /> that is what is the track--part of the attraction and the appeal of this development project. Thank
<br /> you.
<br /> VITOUSEK: Going back to Mr. Fuke, I think that that could be a reasonable solution of
<br /> indicating that the additional shoreline public access, study, and public access plan based on the
<br /> results of that study would be included as a condition of approval.
<br /> Continuing on with my list, sorry guys, so with the, one of the feedback that we got from the
<br /> police department was that they were concerned with the additional units causing additional
<br /> demand for police services. And, obviously, you know the,Waimea being the primary
<br /> responders to any police issue in Waikoloa, that's a pretty long lead time. At least 35 minutes,
<br /> plus with Kapa'au being backup at an hour and 15 minutes away. With the Fair Share
<br /> contributions being provided, I understand that is a way of trying to adjust that but, have we had
<br /> any discussions with the police department about trying to address it directly? Doing something
<br /> like building a substation at the Waikoloa Fire Department station?That property on Mauna
<br /> Lath, whatever it is off Ka`ahumanu Highway where there is a fire department and there's space.
<br /> An additional substation could be added. Is that a, is that a benefit that would help the
<br /> community and help your development by,by shortening police response time and coverage of
<br /> the area?
<br /> FUKE: It's, it's a, it's a tough question, Mr. Chairman. I mean like, if you look at the
<br /> concurrency provision, it's clear that when you deal with the Civil Defense, for example, there is
<br /> a specific requirement that you have to be within a certain radius. You have to have like your,
<br /> your sirens. So, that's kind of clear, but when it comes to like police, fire, and other type of
<br /> facilities, there is nothing to that effect and so, that's why I think like the Planning Department
<br /> and eventually the County Council effectively adopted a policy to do the fair share approach to
